More Love for Them
I will never forget my experience in Africa.When I came into the orphanage(孤儿院)，the children had big smiles on their faces，but behind the smiles I could see the hurt in their eyes.I talked to a volunteer who was cooking for the children.When she talked of the terrible situation of these children，I saw tears in her eyes.Seeing this，I felt strongly something needed to be done.I shouldn't sit at
my home in the United States and avoid all of the hurt that went on in the world.These children faced not only poor living conditions，but a lack(缺乏) of health care and education as well.Volunteers were important to them.In fact，there are many children who are suffering a lot.At least，they need a teacher that can teach them basic knowledge，and a nurse that can provide them with basic health care.But even volunteers like me，who have nothing really specific to offer，are a great help.Sometimes these children just need someone to talk to.They need to build confidence and learn to support themselves when they grow up.The most important thing is that they need love.Dear friends，please give a helping hand to them.Every child should enjoy the blue sky just as you do.教师用书独具演示●教学目标

.
【答案】 measured改为measuring2．Norway is at the top of the list，while the US is at number 7.(教材P12)挪威高居榜首，而美国名列第7。
本句while在此意为“而，却”，为并列连词，表对比，具有轻微转折的含义。
Mother is busy cooking while Father is watching TV after work.下班后，妈妈忙于做饭而爸爸在看电视。while作连词的其他用法：
①while意为“当……的时候”，引导时间状语从句时，从句中的动词是延续性动词。
②while意为“虽然，尽管”，引导让步状语从句。While the discussion was still going on, George came in.当讨论还在进行时，乔治走了进来。
While I admit his good points，I can see his shortcomings.尽管我承认他的优点，但我还是能看到他的缺点。单项填空

本句中的with Sierra Leone (in West Africa) at the bottom of the list属于“with＋宾语＋宾补”结构，介词短语at the bottom of the list作宾补。
She saw a small river with green grass and red flowers on both sides.她看到一条小河，河的两岸满是红花绿草。with复合结构，在句中可作原因、条件、方式、附加说明等状语，也可作后置定语。

(2012·辽宁高考)The old couple often take a walk after supper in the park with their pet dog them.
A．to follow B．following
C．followed D．follows
【解析】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这老两口常常在晚饭后到公园里散步，他们的宠物狗则在后面跟着。在with复合结构中，dog与follow是逻辑上的主谓关系，因此这里用现在分词表主动。考生会因为不了解with复合结构而将本空所在部分当作完整的句子，从而误选D。

—Yes，but its driver is close to .
A．killed B．killing
C．being killed D．be killed

如何写对比类文章
对比类文章实际上是让学生对对比的地点、事物等进行描写、说明。写对比性的文章把两个事物描述清楚即可，但是需要注意描写的顺序。一般来说有两种顺序：第一种是分开描述两个事物，把其中一个写完之后，再写另一个；第二种是同时描述两个事物，就某一方面进行对比。在事物的对比中，通常用到下列过渡词：in the same way，similarly，likewise，on the contrary，by contrast，however，equal to，on the other hand，while，whereas，though，although等。对比类写作的常用类型：
(1)今昔对比：文章通常用一般现在时和一般过去时。
写作格式：主题句——对过去情况的描述——对现在情况的描述——总结句。
(2)正反观点对比：文章通常采用同一种时态。
写作格式：提出问题——介绍两种不同的观点——对两种不同观点的论据逐项进行对比——结尾加上自己的观点并阐明理由。(3)数据分析对比：文章通常用一般现在时和一般过去时。
写作格式：提出所要说明的现象——数据对比——得出结论。【常用句型】
