2. It’s famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks.
be famous for 是一个固定短语，意为“因……而闻名；以……著名”。主语既可以是表示人的词语也可以是表示地点的词语。主语是表示人的词语时，表示以某种技能或特征而闻名；主语是表示地点的词语时，表示以某种特产或某处名胜古迹而著名。例如：
The town is famous for its hot springs.
He is famous for his sweet voice.

wake的过去式为woke，过去分词为 woken。wake up是固定短语，意为“叫醒……”。当wake up的宾语是名词时，宾语可放在wake和up的中间或up的后面；当wake up的宾语是代词时，宾语只能放在wake和up的中间。例如：
Don’t wake up the baby.
= Don’t wake the baby up.
Let’s wake him up now.

8. Wish you were here!
wish 表示“希望，祝愿”
hope & wish
hope和wish两者都表示“希望”，其后都可接动词不定式作宾语，即hope / wish to do sth.，但它们也有很多不同点：
◆wish后可接双宾语表示祝愿，即wish+sb.+sth., 而hope则不能。如：
I wish you a happy time.
◆wish后可接动词不定式作宾语补足语，即wish sb. to do sth.，而hope不能。如： Jim wishes Linda to sing an English song.
◆在简略句中，表示希望某事发生，用I hope so；表示希望某事不会发生，用I hope not，而wish无此用法。如：
—Will it be OK
—I hope so. / I hope not.
