as different elements in the sentence.The to infinitive and verb-ing forms
can be used as the subject of a sentence.
The to infinitive and verb-ing forms
can be used as the subject of a sentence.
When we talk about a general idea, we
sometimes use the verb-ing form as
the subject.

Laughing helps your body stay healthy
and can even help you fight pain. When the subject is a to infinitive, we

After it’s no use/good, we often use the
verb-ing form as the real subject.
It’s no use crying over spill milk.
It’s no good worrying about it.We can use for + object pronoun
before the to infinitive as its logical
subject.
It’s necessary for me to know how to
use the computer.2. Non-finite verbs can be used as the attributive.
When used as the attributive, the to infinitive often refers to an action that will happen in the future, the verb-ing form often refers to an action that continuing, and the verb-ed form often refers to a past action or expresses passive meaning. I have some letters to write.

famous comedian.
John took many photos of leaves fallen
to the ground.
In 1975, George Burns acted in a film
called The Sunshine Boys.
We use being +verb-ed to form the continuous passive.
The underground system being built in the city will be open next year.
When the to infinitive is used as the attributive, the noun that it modifies is often the logical object of the to infinitive. Sometimes the noun can be its logical subject, or used in apposition. When Jack was young, he had no
friends to play with.
Tom is often the first one to arrive at
school.

A. said B. say

A3. It’s nice and cozy. (P.14) “nice and + adj.”的特殊用法
nice and 是英语口语中的固定搭配, 它相当于一个副词, 作“很”，“挺”，“非常”解，用来加强其后的形容词或副词的程度及语气。类似nice这种用法，能用于and 之前的形容词不多，它们主要是big, bright, good, fine, lovely 和 rare等。这种结构之后多接令人愉快的词语，有时也可接令人不愉快的词语，一般用于非正式场合。 The air today is nice and clean.

一、基本用法
Do/Would you mind…? 最通常的用法是表示请求允许或征求对方意见(后接动名词或if从句，其中Do也可换成 Would，语气更委婉)，意为“劳驾”“你可否……?”“请你做……好吗?” Do you mind if I switch the radio off?
我可以关掉收音机吗?
I think I’ll go along to the club this
evening for a game of snooker. Do you
mind?
今晚我想去俱乐部打台球，你看可以
吗? 二、搭配用法该句型的搭配应注意以下几点：
1. 其后可接if 从句，但不接whether从 句。
2. 其后可接动名词，但不接不定式。
3. 可说 Do you mind… 或Would you mind…，但不说 Will you mind…。
4. Would you mind…后接if 从句时，从句谓语通常要用过去式。
Would you mind helping me?
请帮帮我的忙好吗?
Do you mind my closing the window?
我关上窗户行吗?
Would you mind if I closed the window?
我把窗户关上你介意吗?三、答语的用法 一般说来，同意用Yes, 不同意用No，这是许多同学牢记的一条重要规律。但是，对Do/Would you mind... 来说，情况则完全相反。因为对Do/ Would you mind... 的回答，从本质上说是对 mind 的回答，也就是说，若同意对方的请求，应用 not mind (不介意)，若不同意对方的请求，则用mind (介意)。 1. 表示同意(即不介意)的答语：
No, that’s all right.
不介意，没关系。
No, go ahead, please.
不介意，请……吧。
Certainly not. 当然不介意。
Of course not. 当然不介意。

Better not, please. 请最好不要……
I’d rather you didn’t. 我宁愿你不

请你关上门好吗?
B: Certainly not. 好的
A: Would you mind taking part?

B: No, I’d love to. 不介意，我很愿意参加。
A: Would you mind if I smoked/my smoking? 我抽烟你介意吗?
B: Oh, please don’t. 噢，请不要抽。 四、特殊用法 Do you mind…? 除上述用法外，还有一种特殊用法就是可以表示气愤或反感，意为“请别这样做”“别来这一套”“你怎么搞的”“我可真火了”。 Do you mind? I don’t want to hear that
kind of language here. 别讲了，我不许
在这儿讲这种话。
Do you mind? That’s my foot you’re
standing on.
怎么搞的? 你踩我的脚了。
A: Come on, my dear, let me have your
kiss. 来吧，亲爱的，吻我一下。
B: Do you mind! I hate you.

they made in the homework, and
speak well of those who did better.One possible version: Why Do We Smile?
Everybody likes smiling. But why do we smile?
Smiling makes us attractive. We are drawn to people who smile. Smiling changes our mood, as it can trick the body into feeling better. Smiling is infectious. When someone is smiling they lighten up the room, change the moods of others, and make them happier. Smiling relieves stress. It helps to prevent us from looking tired. Smiling makes us look healthier.
It can bring us energy and pleasure. Smiling makes us seem successful. Smiling people appear more confident, and are more likely to be approached. Smiling helps us stay positive. When we smile our body is sending the rest of us a message that “Life is Good!” So just try smiling our way through
the day. Stay away from depression, stress and worry by smiling. Smile when you meet others. Smile in time
of difficulty. Smile when you feel sad. Smile wherever you are and whenever you can.Lead-inDiscussion:1. What do you know about Charlie Chaplin?

I think I have got enough information about crosstalk and can answer your questions about it. Crosstalk is a traditional form of Chinese comedy, which began during the Qing Dynasty. At that time, performers travelled between villages and did small comic performances. You ask me about different parts of crosstalk performance. It can be done by one person, two people, three people or more, and involves singing, telling jokes and talking. The talking is normally between two performers, who twist their language in ways that make people laugh. There is also a one-person form of crosstalk, and it is occasionally done by three or more people. You can hear a whole story if you listen to acrosstalk performance. It has an obvious
beginning, middle and end.
You wanted to know something about
famous crosstalk performers, living and
dead. One of the first crosstalk artists
was Zhu Shaowen, whose stage name was
Qiongbupa, or ‘Poor-but-proud’ in
English. The most important master is
Hou Baolin, who died in 1993. Another
one named Ma Sanli was from a famous
crosstalk family, whose grandfather, father and brother were all crosstalk
performers. He died in 2003. There
are quite a few famous crosstalk
artists loved by the Chinese people
and there are also some famous
foreign crosstalk performers, among
whom is Da Shan from Canada. A lot
of Chinese know him ad like his
performance very much. As for where one can hear it or see it, we often listen to it on the radio or TV. The best time to see or hear crosstalk is on television during the Spring Festival.
You asked if you could learn it outside of China and if you needed to speak Chinese to enjoy crosstalk. You hardly get the chance to learn crosstalk outside of China. And if you want to enjoy it, you must be able to speak Chinese. Now inBeijing, a famous crosstalk master Ding Guangquan gives lessons to foreigners.
He was one of Hou Baolin’s students and has been teaching foreigners to perform since 1989.
If you want to know more about Chinese crosstalk, just e-mail me.

Why?They make us laugh.
They bring us happiness.Discussion: 1. What can we benefit from laughing?Good health is one of the many benefits of laughter. Laughter reduces our stress levels by reducing the level of stress hormones, and also helps us cope with serious illnesses.
Physiologically, laughter promotes healing, by lowering the blood pressure, and by increasing the vascular blood flow and the oxygenation of the blood. Physical fitness stemming from laughter is a benefit known to few. Scientists estimate that laughing 100 times is equivalent to a 10-minute workout on a rowing machine, or to 15 minutes on a stationary exercise bike. The mere act of laughing exercises the diaphragm, as well as the abdominal, respiratory, facial, leg, and back muscles. Another benefit of laughter is that it improves our over-all mental health. Pent up negative emotions, such as anger, fear, and sadness, can cause biochemical changes in our bodies that can produce a harmful effect.
Laughter provides a harmless
outlet for these negative emotions,
and provides a coping mechanism for
dealing with difficult or stressful
situations. 2. In general, what kinds of things can make you laugh?Sharing information Look at the posters and have
a talk with your partner about each one.Poster 11. What can he be doing?
