◆pay v.& n.付费,付钱,支付。其宾语通常是人或钱。

◆ across from是固定短语，其后接表示地点的名词或代词，意为“在……对面”，相当于on the other side of。
eg：He lives in the house across from /on the other side of ours.
他住在我们对面的那栋房子里。
辨析across，over与through
across 表示从一定范围的一边到另一边，动作在物体表面进行

[设计意图]　由1a的图片引导学生在头脑中将设施的位置与介词的意思形成统一,强化学生对方位介词短语的理解,然后再将2a中的句子所表达的意思说出来。
