A good dictionary is an important tool. It will tell you not only what a word means but also how it is used. A dictionary needs to be changed again about every ten years. A good dictionary must show language development.
A new English dictionary will tell you how most people use the language today. It will not tell you what is right or wrong. It may tell you the right time to use a word. If only a few people use a word, a dictionary will either tell you this or not list(编列)it.
Every dictionary, of course, tells you what a word means. But some words, like “get” or “take” may have a lot of meanings. In some dictionaries, the main meanings are often listed first. In others, the newest meanings are listed first.
Some dictionaries also show you where a word comes from. Do you know that the word “Brand” (商标) comes from an old word? This word means “to burn”. This is because hundreds of years ago, people burned their names on tables or boats to show who made them. They also burned their names on their farm animals so that they would not be stolen.
Your dictionary also has a lot of interesting facts in it. After you have learned to use a dictionary, it can become your most useful book.

A, is a tool only to help you to look up new words

A, can tell you a few meanings of each English word
B, can tell you both the main and the newest meanings of English words

( )4, Some dictionaries help you to know ______.
A, where some words come from
