Are you a neat person or a messy（杂乱的）person? Is your desk neat or messy? Bill Brown is interested in studying people’s desks, or “work spaces”, as he calls them. A person’s work space tells you about how he or she organizes work.

Brown says both neat and messy people consider two things in organizing their work space: finding and reminding. Finding means being able to get messages and papers at the time you need them. Reminding means telling you to do things at a certain（某个）time. Brown has noticed that people put things in different places by looking at how important they are and when they will be needed.

Someone asked Brown if it is better to be neat or messy. He said, “Messy people have more problems finding things, but neat people have to spend time keeping their work space neat.”

Brown uses these ideas about workspaces to help him work out how computers should be built. When people use computers, he says, they also have these things in mind: finding and reminding. (184 words)

She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, “Very dirty floors.” “Yes, I’m glad they’ve finally decided to clean them,” the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, “But aren’t you working late?”

Mum just pushed harder, each swipe (拖一下) of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book. After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining.

Two traveling angels (天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room.

“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal（封口）the wall so he couldn’t find it.

While reading a book in English, every few lines of text, you come across a word or two that you don’t know. You look up every new word in the dictionary. Bad move. All that does slow you down. Even electric or CD –ROM dictionaries can get in the way of your reading progress. A dictionary is like a road map. It can help you if you get lost and point you in the right direction. But if you stop to look at the “map” each time you take a step, you’ll get nowhere fast.

On your English learning “journey”, a dictionary can be a helpful “travel companion（伙伴） ”--if it is not overused. To help you start thinking in English, use an English-to-English dictionary. Otherwise, you will always depend on your native language and end up translating in your head.

A good dictionary can help you do more than just find the meaning of a word. It can help you verify (test and check) spelling, check word forms and grammar usage, find example sentence and learn pronunciation. Some dictionaries even provide
