Read the following passage and make the correct choice from A)、B)、C)、D). Each time we produce a new English dictionary, our aim is always the same: what can we do to make the dictionary more helpful for students of English? As a result of our research with students and discussions with teachers, we decided to focus on providing more examples for this English dictionary. Examples help students to remember the word they have looked up in the dictionary because it is easier both to remember and to understand a word within a context (上下文). The examples also show that words are often used in many different contexts. For these reasons, we have included 40 per cent more examples in this new book. We edit all the examples to remove difficult words and to make sure they are easier to understand. We very much hope this new book will be of use not only to the students of English but also to the teachers.
