Not all great writers are great spellers.If you want to be published，it’s vital to submit a perfect，professionally presented manuscript(原稿)． 36 No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly.
I keep two reference books close-by on my desk：dictionary and thesaurus(同義詞詞典)．I don’t trust my laptop’s ①spellchecker. 37 Of course，these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses，but I’m old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can ②leaf through with my fingers.I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus.
38 It should give you a precise definition of each word，thus ③differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar，but not identical.It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.
In addition，I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary，picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence.Of course，with its 2,672 pages，it’s not exactly short.It contains around 163,000 words，plus word combinations and ④idiomatic phrases. 39 However，if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage，there’s nothing better.
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755.“To make dictionaries is dull(乏味的) work，” wrote Johnson，illustrating one definition of “dull”． 40 A few minutes spent ⑤casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.
A．I don’t often use this dictionary.
B．It takes no account of the context.
C．But I still don’t want to replace them.
D．But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.
E．Of course，a dictionary is not only for spelling.
F．That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.
G．Dictionaries don’t always give you enough information.

If you have ever looked closely at the tires on your car，you have probably seen little hairs sticking out of the black rubber. 1 Are they there for any safety reasons Those little bits are one of the strange car features some people may stop to think about.
Located on the vertical part of the tire，these curious little rubber hairs are known as “vent spews(輪胎毛刺)”．They are crucial in the ①tire-making process.As the tread pattern mold(胎面花紋模具) is pressed into the tire’s rubber，the extra rubber requires a way to escape the mold. 2
Curiously，there’s no ②set number of hairs each tire will have. 3 But the presence of tire hairs is universal.They are nothing more than remnants(殘余部分) of the complex process that makes strong and durable tires.
4 Because they are found on the part of the tire rubber that doesn’t hit the road，they have no impact on how well your tire grips(抓牢) the pavement in rainy weather.These rubber hairs also don’t have any impact on road noise or why your tires squeak when you’re driving.They are merely evidence of the new tire’s arrival in the world.
Tire hairs are naturally worn away during normal driving，and the presence or absence of these hairs doesn’t determine if a tire is safe.There is one instance，however，where the lack of tire hairs can matter. 5 As a responsible car owner，you should monitor the health of your tires regularly.
A．Why do tires have hairs
B．Tire hairs don’t have any effect on safe driving.
C．Are there any other interesting facts about cars
D．They look funny，yet every new car tire has them.
E．It could be a sign that tires are worn，old and need to be replaced.
F．The exact number varies based on the design and size of the tires.
G．Because ③tiny-size escape vents are created throughout each mold，little tire hairs are born.

If you want to make a good first impression in an important business meeting，it is no longer about wearing the sharpest suit or the firmest handshake but about making sure that the little Zoom window with your face in it projects ①professionalism.But this is not always easy. 6 Here are some tips.
·Don’t hold your phone.
If you absolutely must join the meeting on your phone，then don’t hold it in your hand. 7 Your colleagues will not see your picture swinging about wildly.And the camera will not suddenly look up your nose when you naturally pull your phone closer to your face.
· 8
How the light falls on our faces counts.So make sure that you don’t have a big，direct source of light behind you，because all it will do is make your face dark and hard to see—and that is the most important part!
·A professional ②microphone makes up for bad video.
The built-in microphones inside our computers can be pretty good，but they are never truly great. 9 What matters is that people should be able to hear what you are saying.
·Don’t rely on the default(默認) camera.
10 This could help create the illusion of eye contact.However，this is not always easy，especially if you are using a laptop and are sitting at a desk，towering above it.It might be worth getting an external camera you can put on top of a monitor.
A．Lighting makes the difference.
B．Do put on ③make-up on your face.
C．Instead，obtain a phone ④stand to hold it.
D．The ideal position for your camera is at your ⑤eye-level.
E．What can you do to ensure a successful business meeting
F．So it’s worth spending the money on a dedicated external microphone.
G．So what can you do to make sure your video calls project the right image

One of the biggest mistakes new runners make is doing too much too soon.Slowly easing into a training program will help reduce the risk of injury，so you can continue on with your new running routine. 12 .
· 13
Beginners might think they need to run every day (or nearly every day) to meet their fitness or ①weight-loss goals，but this couldn’t be further from the truth.Running is a ②high-impact activity which can be really hard on your body.So it’s important to give your body a rest between ③workouts.
·Not wearing the right equipment

Running through pain
15 .If something hurts when you run，you need to stop and treat the pain.Remember: It doesn’t make you less of a runner if you listen to your body to keep it healthy.

Beginners might think they need to run every day (or nearly every day) to meet their fitness or ①weight-loss goals，but this couldn’t be further from the truth.Running is a ②high-impact activity which can be really hard on your body.So it’s important to give your body a rest between ③workouts.
