　　ROME (AP)－Roadways buckled under the scorching sun in Germany, water levels on the Danube and other rivers dropped and wildfires forced tourists and residents to flee Wednesday as record-breaking heat, blamed for at least 37 deaths, tormented Europe.

　　Londoners experienced the hottest day in the city's history when the temperature hit 35.4 degrees C, beating the 35 degrees recorded in 1990．Then a British Airways Concorde was forced to make an unscheduled stop in Gander, Nfld., during a flight from London to New York to refuel.

　　The day's high in Paris, of 39.5 degrees fell just shy of the all-time record of 40.4 degrees set in 1947.

　　“One can safely say that this is one of the hottest summers of the last 50 years,” said Capt. Alessandro Fuccello, of the Italian air force's meteorology office. He was speaking about Italy, but the heat wave was the hottest in recent memory in much of Europe.

　　Two people in southern Spain died of heat stroke, raising the death toll to 14 in the heat wave stifling much of the country. Among the deaths was a firefighter who had a heart attack Tuesday after battling a blaze.

　　Forest fires fanned by hot winds near the French Riviera last week killed four people, and a fifth person died in Corsica when he tried to put out a fire near his home.

　　閱讀理解

The first English dictionary was published in 1604. The dictionary was actually nothing more than a list of about 3,000 difficult words, each followed by a one-word definition (定義，解說(shuō)). The author (作者), Robert Cawdrey, made no attempt to include everyday words in his dictionary. No one, he reasoned (推理，思考), would ever have to look up a word in a dictionary if he already knew the meaning of the word．During the 1600's more dictionaries were published．Each followed Cawdrey's lead and presented a few thousand hard words. Around 1700 one dictionary maker, John Kersey, did define (下定義，精確地解釋詞的意義) easy words as well as hard words. But until the 1750's all the dictionaries were rather crude (精制濫選的，不完善的) and not very valuable (有價(jià)值的).

　　A man named Dr. Samuel Johnson changed all this. In 1755 Dr. Johnson produced the first modern dictionary. He included in his dictionary all important words, both easy and hard, and he gave good meanings. He also gave good sentences to show how each word was actually used in speech and in writing. By the end of the 1700's most dictionary makers had followed Johnsons's example. Dictionaries were getting better and better.

　　The 1800's saw the greatest improvement (提高，改善) in the quality of dictionaries. In England scholars (學(xué)者) planned and prepared the Oxford English Dictionary , a twenty-volume (卷，冊(cè)，部) work. One of the most interesting features (特點(diǎn)，特征) of the Oxford Dictionary is its word histories. It traces (追溯，探索) the history of each word from its earlier recorded use up to the time of the printing of the dictionary.

[　　]

A．defined easy words as well as hard ones
