难句解析
1. If you hear a comedian telling jokes about the way people behave when they queue up in lines, or asking why it only rains when you forget your umbrella, you are listening to an observational comedian. (P2)
[分析] 1） 句子结构分析：此句是一个复合句。
在if引导的条件状语中，you 是主语，hear为谓语动词，a comedian telling jokes about ... 是宾语与宾语补足语构成的复合宾语。在宾语补足语中，介词about后是由or连接起来的两个宾语：第一个宾语是名词the way，后跟定语从句people behave，紧接着是由when引导的时间状语从句；第二个宾语是asking与why引导的宾语从句构成的V-ing短语，其后也有一个由when引导的时间状语从句。最后的you are listening to an observational comedian是主句。
2) 语言知识分析： hear sb. doing为动词后面接由名词 / 代词 + V-ing形式构成的复合宾语，意为“听见某人在做某事”； queue up in lines指“排队”。
[拓展] 动词hear后可接“sb. / sth. + V-ing形式”， 指听见某人或某物在做某事，强调动作正在发生；此外，也可接“sb. / sth. + v.”， 指听见某人或某物做了某事，强调动作的全过程。除了hear外，see, watch, feel, notice等感官动词也都有这种用法。
2. He says it is because when he started practising stand-up as a child, he told himself jokes while standing in front of the mirror, brushing his teeth! (P3)
[分析] 1） 句子结构分析：此句是一个复合句。He says是主句的主谓部分， it is ... 从句作动词says的宾语，it 的前面省略了that。
it指上文提到的he always keeps a toothbrush in his pocket for good luck。在宾语从句中，because 引导的从句作系动词is的表语；而在表语从句中，when he started practising stand-up as a child是时间状语从句，he told himself jokes是表语从句的主句；while standing in front of the mirror作时间状语，brushing his teeth 是V-ing形式作伴随状语。
2） 语言知识分析：while standing in front of the mirror为while + V-ing形式作时间状语，相当于while he was standing in front of the mirror。
[拓展] 在时间、条件、让步等状语从句中，当从句的主语是it或与主句的主语一致，且谓语动词是be或含有be的时候，从句的主语及be都可以被省略，只留下V-ing形式、动词过去分词或形容词等，
如： a) When talking ( =_________________) of her daughter, she feels very proud. b) When told (=__________________) that her son had passed the exam, she was very glad. c) If necessary ( =__________________, I’ll call you at once.
3. Whatever the reason, research shows that in the end, the English saying ‘Laughter is the best medicine’ may be true after all. (P3)
[分析] 1） 句子结构分析：此句是一个复合句。Whatever the reason是让步状语从句，主句为research shows that ... ；在宾语从句中，the English saying是主语，
‘Laughter is the best medicine’是saying的同位语。may be true是谓语部分，in the end和after all都是作状语。
2）语言知识分析：Whatever引导让步状语从句，相当于no matter what，意为“不管什么，无论什么”。
[拓展] whatever与no matter what的区别：whatever除了可以引导让步状语从句外，还能引导名词性从句，如： It is not wise of parents to give their son whatever he wants. 而no matter what只能引导让步状语从句。
