* Update terminology and improve readability in preface summary

This commit made a few adjustments in the 'summary.md' file for clearer and more accessible language. "Brushing tool library" was replaced with "Coding Toolkit" to better reflect common terminology. Also, advice for beginners in algorithm learning journey was reformulated to imply a more positive approach avoiding detours and common pitfalls. The section related to the discussion forum was rewritten to sound more inviting to readers.

changed or refined parts of the words and sentences including tips.
Some of them I didnt change that much because im worried that it might not meet the requirement of accuracy. 
some other ones i changed a lot to make it sound better, but also kind of following the same wording as the CN version

* Update algorithms_are_everywhere.md

re-edited the dictionary part from Piyin to just normal Eng dictionary. 
again thank you very much hpstory for you suggestion.

Preface

Two years ago, I shared the "Sword Offer" series of problem solutions on LeetCode, which received much love and support from many students. During my interactions with readers, the most common question I encountered was "How to get started with algorithms." Gradually, I developed a deep interest in this question.

Blindly solving problems seems to be the most popular method, being simple, direct, and effective. However, problem-solving is like playing a "Minesweeper" game, where students with strong self-learning abilities can successfully clear the mines one by one, but those with insufficient foundations may end up bruised from explosions, retreating step by step in frustration. Thoroughly reading textbooks is also common, but for students aiming for job applications, the energy consumed by graduation, resume submissions, and preparing for written tests and interviews makes tackling thick books a daunting challenge.

If you are facing similar troubles, then you are lucky to have found this book. This book is my answer to this question, not necessarily the best solution, but at least an active attempt. Although this book won't directly land you an Offer, it will guide you through the "knowledge map" of data structures and algorithms, help you understand the shape, size, and distribution of different "mines," and equip you with various "demining methods." With these skills, I believe you can more comfortably solve problems and read literature, gradually building a complete knowledge system.

I deeply agree with Professor Feynman's saying: "Knowledge isn't free. You have to pay attention." In this sense, this book is not entirely "free." To not disappoint the precious "attention" you pay to this book, I will do my utmost, investing the greatest "attention" to complete the creation of this book.
