You may think that English dictionaries have been used for many, many centuries. In fact, an English dictionary you      today wasn’t made until the Qin Dynasty. They spent most of the important       work on dictionaries. They spent nearly all their lives trying to     words for their dictionaries. For them, it was a wonderful journey. The largest dictionary in the world is Oxford English Dictionary（牛津字典）. The        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（編者）of its new dictionary. Murray had never been to      . At the age of fourteen, he left his villageschool in Scotland and taught himself while working in bank.      he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job. Murray had a small house       in his garden to do the work. Every morning, Murray got out of bed at five o’clock and      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 year, he was       adding（增加）words for the letter “A”! He worked on the dictionary       he was very old. Forty-four years later, in 1928, other editors finished the dictionary.
