【正确答案】：
（1）READ THE GUIDE TO THE USE OF THE DICTIONARY, WHERE THE COMPILERS EXPLAIN IN DETAIL HOW TO USE THE DICTIONARY.
（2）READ THE CONTENTS PAGE TO FIND OUT QUICKLY WHAT INFORMATION IS INCLUDED IN THE DICTIONARY BECAUSE THIS PAGE USUALLY PROVIDES A DETAILED LIST OF THE CONTENT, INCLUDING SUPPLEMENTARY MATTER.
DICTIONARIES ARE REFERENCE BOOKS AND HELPING TOOLS. THEIR VALUE ANS USEFULNESS DEPEND ON THE USER RATHER THAN IN THEMSELVES. TO USE THEM WELL ONE NEEDS TO GET TO KNOW THEM WELL. THE MORE FAMILIAR THE USER BECOMES WITH THEM, THE BETTER HA CAN USE THEM, ANS THE MORE INFORMATION HE CAN OBTAIN. A GOOD READER MAY FIND A GOOD DICTIONARY A RICH SOURCE OF KNOWLEDGE AND A BEST  TEACHER.
