　　In English the 　　1　　 of words does not always represent the sound．So people say/raIt/　　2　　 spell it “right”, or “write”, or even “rite”．Combinations of letters(like “ough”)may be pronounced in 　　3　　 ways．And some words just seem to have 　　4　　 many letters．

　　For 　　5　　, things are a little bit easier, thanks to the work of Noah Webster, 　　6　　 teacher who graduated from Yale University in 1778．As a young man he had 　　7　　 the British in the American War of Independence, and he felt that 　　8　　 English in the newly independent United States should have a distinctive “American” look．

　　So he began his 　　9　　 on American English．His first book, the Elementary Spelling Book, 　　10　　 simplifying the spelling of English words．The book was very popular．By the 1850s, it was 　　11　　 one million copies a year, making　　12　　 one of the most popular schoolbooks ever．

　　　　13　　 of the suggestions were quickly used, 　　14　　 “center” instead of “centre”, “program” instead of “programme”, and “flavor”　　15　　 “flavour”．Others, 　　16　　, such as removing silent letters like the “s” in “island” or the final “e” in“ examine”, were not．

　　Webster is best 　　17　　 for An American Dictionary of the English Language, 　　18　　 first appeared in 1828．It introduced lots of new American words, with information about their pronunciation and 　　19　　, and, of course, the new spelling．The British criticized the dictionary, but it quickly became a standard reference book in the states．Today, Webster’s dictionary is 　　20　　 the most important dictionary for American students．

Many people have tried to simplify (簡化) the spelling of English words.Unlike other languages，English sometimes spells the same sounds in very different ways.For example，there is “l(fā)ight” but “white”，“l(fā)oan” but “phone”，and there are at least seven different ways of pronouncing “ough”：“though”，“through”，“bough”，“cough”，“enough”，“ought” and “thorough”．

The American President Theodore Roosevelt almost succeeded in simplifying English spelling.In 1906，Andrew Carnegie started the Simplified Spelling Board.He was one of the richest men in the United States of America.The board’s plan was to make the spelling of words nearer to the way they sound.For example，the word “though” would be spelt “tho” and “through” would become “thru”．Other people on the board were Melvil Dewey，the head of the New York libraries，and Professor Brander Matthews of Columbia University.They explained their idea to President Roosevelt，who thought that it was indeed logical.He immediately asked the government printer to use simplified spelling in all government letters.

But people didn’t like the change，even if it made life easier.So the new simpler spelling was not popular.More importantly，when the American politicians (政客) discussed the plan，they did not like it either.Because Roosevelt did not want to have any problems with the politicians，he changed his mind and told the printer to go back to the old way of spelling.

Since then no one in any government has dared to simplify English spelling.However，people do simplify some words，mainly in advertisements.For example，we often see “tonite” instead of “tonight” and “thru” instead of “through”．

68．Many people have tried to simplify English spelling because________.

A．English words are too long to remember

B．there are many mistakes in English words

C．lots of words are spelt in many different ways

D．sometimes the same sounds have different spellings

69．Who is NOT a member of the Simplified Spelling Board?

A．Andrew Carnegie.                               B．Melvil Dewey.

C．Theodore Roosevelt.                            D．Brander Matthews.

70．What was Theodore Roosevelt’s attitude towards simplified spelling?

A．Worried.                                             B．Supportive. 

C．Uncertain.                                          D．Doubtful.
