As a young adult, Noah Webster was a teacher. At that time, the colonies were fighting for independence from Britain, yet the books that American children used in school all came from Britain.
The books were all about British people and British places. Webster wrote books with examples that would mean more to the Americans --a grammar book, a spelling book, and a reader. These books were very popular, and millions of them were sold.
Webster was interested in changing the spelling of words. He wanted words to be spelled the way they were pronounced. For example, he thought the word "head" should be spelled " hed", and the word "laugh" should be spelled "laf".
Many people like Webster's suggestions. However,few words were actually changed. One group of words that were changed were words in which an unpronounced "u" followed an "o".
That is why Americans write "color" and "labor", and the British write "colour" and "labour".
With the money he made from his books, Webster was able to do what he was interested in. It was the first American English dictionary,published in 1838. Webster's dictionary had over 70,000 words and gave the meaning and origin of each. To this day, Webster's work is the example that most dictionaries of American English follow.

A. earn money
B. get rid of Britain people

44. The purpose of Webster's spelling changes was__________.
A. to have different spellings with the American English
B. to make the spelling and pronunciation the same
C. to make English easier for the learners
D. to find better ways to teach English
45. In American history, Noah Webster is famous for__________.
A. his dictionary
B. his teaching methods
