Unit 11 Sad movies make me cry.
Question: Do you want to be a king(国王) or queen(王后; 女王) Are kings or queens always happy
The Shirt of a Happy Man (Part Ⅰ)
A long time ago, in a rich and beautiful country, there lived an unhappy king. ① He slept badly and didn't feel like eating. ② His face was always pale as chalk. ③ He often cried for no reason. ④ This made the queen and his people worried.
3a Read the story and answer the questions.
(as) pale as chalk 是一种明喻修辞,虽然英语中把苍白比作chalk(白垩,一种白色石灰岩),但汉语不能直译。汉语描述不健康的人面部颜色时常用“白”字,如“煞白;苍白;灰白”等。
One day, a doctor was called in to examine the king. ⑤ But he found nothing wrong with his body. “It's all in his mind. Neither medicine nor rest can help him. ⑥ What he needs is the shirt of a happy person to wear. That'll make him happy.”
The prime minister was called to the palace. But when they explained the king's situation to him, he said, “Although I have a lot of power, it doesn't make me happy. ⑦ I'm always worried about losing my power. Many people are trying to take my position.”
Then, the king's banker came to the palace. “Oh, I'm afraid I'm not happy either, ” he said. “I have a lot of wealth, but I'm always worried about losing my money. ⑧ Someone tries to steal my money every day.”
Next, the palace singer came to the king's room. But this was what he said: “It's true that I'm famous and everyone loves my songs. But I'm not happy because I'm always worried about being followed by others. I cannot be free!”

There be 句型
考点1
There be 句型中的谓语动词除了用be, 还可用其他动词, 使语言表达更生动形象, 如 live、stand、lie 等词。
考向
there be 后接多个名词时,be 动词要与离它最近的那个名词在数上保持一致(就近原则)。
there/ here置于句首时句子用完全倒装,其结构为“There/Here+谓语+主语.”,此时主语必须是名词。当主语为代词时,句子用部分倒装,此时结构为“There/Here+ 主语+ 谓语”。
e.g. There is a book and two pens on the desk.
桌子上有一本书和两支钢笔。
Long long ago, there lived a poor farmer in the forest.
很久很久以前,森林里住着一位贫穷的农民。

考题1:[恩施] There ________ some milk and several apples in the fridge.
A. is B. are C. be

②He slept badly and didn’t feel like eating.
feel like doing sth. 想要做某事
e.g. I don’t feel like walking today.
= I don’t want to walk today.
= I would not like to walk today.

“想要做某事”的表达:feel like doing sth.
