Attractions for Kids with Dinosaur Fever
While there are plenty of movies and books that can teach your little one all about dinosaurs, the following
children's attractions will allow them to come face-to-face with their favorite dinosaurs and learn in an interactive,
fun environment.
1. Dinosaurs Alive at Cedar Point
Sandusky, OH
See the “age of dinosaurs” come to life with interactive exhibits based on real fossil evidence. At the
Dinosaurs Alive section of Cedar Point park, visitors can walk among more than 50 life-sized dinosaurs which
move and roar. See these gigantic lizards up close and learn more about the most fearsome period of the earth's
history.

Chicago, IL
The Chicago Children's Museum is filled with plenty of activities for kids of all ages, but one of the coolest

excavation site, looking at dinosaur fossils, and learning what life is like for real archaeologists.

B
In Shakespeare’s HAMLET, Polonius asks the prince, “What are you reading, my Lord?” Hamlet replies,
“Words, words, words.” Either, as is likely, Hamlet wasn’t interested in what he was reading, or, less likely, he
didn’t understand the words he was reading. In this case, Polonius should have lent Hamlet a good dictionary.
Dictionaries are essential tools for people who like to read. There are so many words in English that even the
most educated person will sometimes meet an unfamiliar word and have to look it up. Languages keep changing,
too, with new words constantly being added and new meanings being applied to old words. For example, the 12th
edition of Xinhua Dictionary, the most popular dictionary in China, has added new words such as “chu xin” “fen si”
“er wei ma” etc. As for new meanings, “girl” once meant “a small child of either sex”. And “naughty” didn’t mean
you were “enjoying playing tricks”; it meant you were poor.
A printed dictionary can’t keep pace with all the changes, which is why most dictionaries have websites and
apps to help you keep up-to-date. However, I still prefer printed dictionaries because they give you more definitions
and more examples of how a word is used. Even a simple word, such as “set”, has 430 meanings (the most of
English words) but an online dictionary would only offer two or three. A printed dictionary also gives you the
opportunity to discover new words as you run your finger down the page looking for the word you want.
There is no “official” English dictionary, but the Oxford English Dictionary is considered to be the best. For
English language learners, however, I would recommend the Collins COBUILD Dictionary for Advanced Learners.
Hamlet, by the way, was Danish and a college student. He would have appreciated the Collins Dictionary to help
himself with his words, words, words. This dictionary has over 40,000 words and gives you full-sentence
definitions with good examples of how words are used.
4. What’s the function of paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To let the readers know more about HAMLET.
C. To arouse readers’ interest in Shakespeare.
D. To explain when it’s necessary to use a dictionary.
5. Why does the author mention “girl” in paragraph 2?
A. To show how powerful Xinhua Dictionary is.
B. To support the idea: languages keep changing.
C. To prove new words are being added to dictionaries.
D. To imply “girl” also means “boy” in some cases.
6. What’s the author’s attitude to printed dictionaries?
A. Favorable. B. Ambiguous. C. Negative. D. Critical.
7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph?
A. To introduce the history of dictionaries.
B. To call on learners to use dictionaries.
C. To recommend Collins Dictionary.
D. To explain why Hamlet likes Collins.
