Dictionaries are very useful. Some people did most of the important 79 work on dictionaries. They spent nearly all their lives trying to 80 words for their dictionaries. For them, it was a wonderful journey. The largest dictionary in the world is Oxford English Dictionary. The 81 for this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two years later, Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor (编辑) of its new dictionary.Murray had never been to college. At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank. 82 he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had a small house built in his garden to do the work. Every morning, Murray got out of bed at five o'clock and 83 in the small house several hours before breakfast. Often he would work into the night. Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years. But after five years, he was 84 adding words for the letter "A" ! He worked on the dictionary until he was very old. Forty-four years later, in 1928, other editors finished the dictionary.79. A) easy B) boring C) early D) dangerous80. A) spell B) invent C) collect D) make81. A) use B) idea C) survey D) way82.
