听力原文： A dictionary lists the words of a language, usually arranged in alphabetical order, but sometimes also by topic, with their meanings or their equivalents.
The first important contribution to lexicography in the United States was The American Spelling Book, issued by educator and lexicographer Noah Webster. Although not a true dictionary, The American Spelling Book, because of its American origin and its simplification of English, became a household reference wordbook throughout the United States. Its success led Webster to compile A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language. He then concentrated on his major contribution to lexicography, An American Dictionary of the English Language, begun in 1807 and published in 1828. This ambitious work included 12,000 more words and 40,000 more definitions than any previous dictionary of the English language. Despite its emphasis on typically American usage, distinguished from British usage, this work was never popular.
Webster's International Dictionary appeared in 1890; Webster's New International Dictionary appeared in 1909. The second edition of Webster's New International Dictionary, published in 1934, remains impressive today, with 600,000 entries. Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language was made available to the public in 1961, which included many slang words and technical terms, end its pronunciation schemes indicate regional speech patterns. Many critics denounced it for what they considered its failure to uphold traditional standards, and many defended it energetically as a comprehensive and accurate depiction of its material.

听力原文： In the United States the family plays an important role in most holiday activities. November is National Adoption Month. We visit with an American family that has an extra special reason to celebrate this year.
It's not Mary Webster's birthday. It is the day that she is adopted. She came to the Webster family about two years ago. When her new mother held Mary, she knew Mary would someday be part of their family.
Mary's birth mother was fighting drug addiction. The Websters were never sure if the birth mother would want to have Mary back.
The Websters were foster parents. It is not known how long the child will stay. No attention is paid to the emotions of the foster parents and the child. Once the birth mother has no more claim on the child, the foster family can adopt tile child.
A judge makes the adoption final. The judge says this ceremony touches her emotionally.
The judge said that in times like this it is nice that some people are able to reach out to someone else and say I want to protect you. I want to make this world a better place for you. I want to do the best I can to make sure that you grow up to be a sale and happy child.
