Sure. you know their names, possibly better than you know the name of the street you live on.
When the need comes, these names roll off our tongues like they were our own brothers. I am writing about the famous Webster s Dictionary and Roget s Thesaurus.
Webster s Dictionary. Many people can respond immediately: Noah Webster. We are aware that he is the father of the dictionary. But who was he? What did he do for a living? When did he live?
Noah was born in 1758, graduated from Yale University in 1778. and later graduated from law school He produced the first American dictionary in 1806 and published his influential work An American Dictionary of the English Language in l828. His interests led him to be a lexicographer (詞典編纂者). textbook editor, author, Bible translator and spelling reformer. He also produced a large number of writings in medicine, mythology (神話), and the relationship of European and Asian languages. In addition, he .founded the first New York daily newspaper in 1793. He died in 1843.
Roget's Thesaurus. And it gives us The chance to learn about Roget, the man-Peter Mark Roget, And who? What? When?
Englishman Peter Roget, MD, was born in 1779. He studied medicine and mathematics at the University of Edinburgh. He is considered as the creator of the first-ever thesaurus (同義詞典). It has been called one of the three most important books ever printed. along with the Bible and Webster s Dictionary.

In his lifetime. he became a noted lecturer and writer on anatomy(解剖學(xué) ). geology(地質(zhì)學(xué)).bees,and more . When Roget died in 1869 at age 90. his son, John . took over the Thesaurus arid he gradually expanded it.

Brain Drain
Imagine you are sitting in your living room and out of surprise you get a call from a friend.He tells you that he's gotten the student visa and is going to study abroad for higher education.His parents may feel it a privilege that their son is guaranteed to have a bright future and unbelievable job opportunities.1. While many people believe that immigration is a personal choice that must be understood and respected, others have realized a serious problem-brain drain.Brain drain refers to the flow of highly skilled and educated people, such as doctors, engineers, scientists from less developed countries to developed countries. Brain drain has become a common social problem.2. These reasons are "Push" factors (因素) and "Pull" factors.The push factors include low wages and lack of satisfactory working and living conditions, and so on.The pull factors, however, include higher pay and better working conditions, better job opportunities, as well as better research equipment.
As we can see, many educated people are heading for richer countries, seeking higher wages and better working conditions.3. It reduces the number of creative people who can contribute to the development of their country.Meanwhile, with more successful businessmen taking their money abroad, their countries are missing an opportunity of wealth creation.4. Besides these economic effects, the brain drain has also social negative effects, such as the loss of improvement in research and technique.
Therefore, measures must be taken in less developed countries to avoid brain drain. 5. Social developments like health services and education opportunities also need improving.Otherwise, less developed countries will face an uncertain future.
A.Even you may start to admire his plans.
B.This also reduces government tax income.
C.Why should their motivations be seriously considered?
D.This of course has serious negative effects on their own countries.
E.There should be more job opportunities for highly educated people.
F.So it is important to find out the proper reasons behind the brain drain.
G.Most of the measures taken so far have not reduced the effects of brain drain.

Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制藥), damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination(協(xié)調(diào)), slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving link, driving will be affected.
Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.
The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:● 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or
● 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or
● 67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine (尿液).
Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.
Any drive found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.
The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens (樣本) far breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.
Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.
1.The first paragraph is mainly about ________.
A. the introduction of driving skills
B. the damage of drinking to your body
C. the effect of drinking on driving
D. the process of alcohol being absorbed
2.The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”.
A. alcohol B. absorption C. blood D. process
3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.
B. Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.
C. Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.
D. 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink limit.
4.A drive suspected of drink driving ________.
A. should provide specimens for testing
B. will be forbidden to drive for 3years
C. will be punished for 10 driving-offence points
D. should pay a maximum fine of HK $25,000
