Dreams
— Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die.
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That can never fly.
Hold fast to dreams,
For when dreams go,
Life is a barren field.
Frozen only with snow.
译文：
梦想
— 兰斯顿 ·休斯
紧紧抓住梦想，
梦想若是消亡，
生命就像鸟儿折了翅膀，
再也不能飞翔。
紧紧抓住梦想，
梦想若是消丧，
生命就像贫瘠的荒野，
雪覆冰封，万物不再生长。

2b
1. Do you know what a resolution is It’s a kind of promise. Most of the time, we make promises to other people. (“Mom, I promise I’m going to tidy my room when I get back from school.”) However, promises you make to yourself are resolutions, and the most common kind is New Year’s resolutions. When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year, we hope that we are going to improve our lives. Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year. This helps them to remember their resolutions. Others tell their family and friends about their wish and plans.

2. There are different kinds of resolutions. Some are about physical health. For example, some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food. Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement. ______ Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos, or learn to play the guitar. Some resolutions have to do with better planning, like making a weekly plan for schoolwork.______

3. Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common. People hardly ever keep them! ________Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep.

Language points
2. They are going to start an exercise program
or eat less fast food.
eat与have这两个动词都可以表示“吃”。
1) eat可用作及物或不及物动词, 是日常用语，但用在
日常口语中不够礼貌。让别人“吃”，通常用have。
Where shall we have our dinner
我们在哪儿吃饭？
2) 在美国, eat既作“吃”, 又作“喝”解。
如: We eat our soup first. 我们先喝汤。
3)have是普通用语, 同样可以表示“吃”,也可以表示
“喝”。用在非正式的文体中。如:
What time do you have supper 你们什么时候吃晚饭？
I do not have coffee in the evening. 晚上我不喝咖啡。
注意：“吃药”, 习惯上说have／take medicine,
不说eat／drink medicine。如:
Your son catches a bad cold. He should have some medicine.
你儿子得了重感冒，他应该吃药。
3. Some resolutions have to do with better panning… 有些决定与合理的时间规划有关……
句中planning 为名词，表示“计划、规划”如：city planning(城市规划)。better plan 意为：合理规划，指通过
制定计划来更加充分地利用时间、空间、精力。
2) Have to do with表示“与……相关；与……有关联或有
关系”如：
What dose this problem have to do with what we’re learning
today 这道题跟我们今天所学的内容有什么关系？
4. Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to
keep.有些时候这些决定可能会太难而无法实现。
1) 句中情态动词 may 表示推测，相当于汉语的“可能；也许；大概”的意思。如：
You may be right this time, but I’ m not sure.
这一次或许你是对的，但是我无法确定。
2) too…to…是一个固定结构，表示“太……而不能……”
The kid is too young to play this game.
这个小孩太小，不能玩这个游戏。
3) 句中的动词keep表示“履行（诺言等）；遵守（惯例等）”如：
People hardly ever keep them!
人们很少履行它们（指计划）。
还有类似的用法：
keep a promise(信守承诺)
keep one’s promise (遵守承诺；说话算数)等。如：
We always keep our word. 我们说话是算数的。
练习：用下列短语造句
have to do with （与……有关）
make promises（做出承诺）
have something in common （有共同之处）
write down （写下；记下）
for this reason（为此；由于这个原因）
take up（开始从事）
be able to
at the beginning of
write down take up
have to do with
forget about
能够做某事
在……开始
写下，记下
从事，学着做
有关系
忘掉
