经典例题Bill is a new student. You should ____ him.A. look at B. care about C. listen to D. take after答案：B
2. remind
(1) remind是及物动词，意思是“提醒、使某人想起”，经常和介词of连用构成动词短语remind somebody of somebody/something＝remind somebody that＋从句，意思是“使某人想起某事或者某人”。Does that song remind you of your mother 那首歌使你想起你的妈妈吗？
(2) 动词短语remind somebody to do something的意思是“提醒某人做某事”。
Please remind me to return the books to the library. 请提醒我把这些书还给图书馆。
经典例题The music reminds her ______ the happy time.
in B. for C. from D. of 答案：D
3. promise
promise是动词，意为“允诺，答应”。其用法归纳如下：(1) 后接名词或代词作宾语，常可以带间接宾语，即构成promise sb. sth. He promised me the book. 他答应给我这本书。

【重点句型】
1.But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us.
这是一个倒装句。主语是the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us，谓语是lies。介词短语behind all these things置于句首引起句子倒装，是为了保持句子平衡，避免头重脚轻。
lie behind 背后存在; 是 ... 的原因
I wonder what lies behind his decision to leave.
我不知道他决定离开的原因是什么。
Two things lie behind Latin America's renaissance.
两个原因导致了拉丁美洲的复兴。
lie vi. 平躺；位于
If you feel unwell, go and lie down.如果你感到不舒服，就去躺下。
The novel is lying on the table.小说平放在桌子上。
The village lies at the foot of a hill.这村庄坐落在一个小山脚下。
辨析：lay, lie
lie的过去式与lay的现在式同形, 故极易混淆。lay是及物动词, 意为“把…置于”, 而lie是不及物动词, 意为“躺着, 平放, 位于”。前者表动作, 后者表状态。如：
He laid his dictionary on the shelf.他把词典放在书架上。
The dictionary is lying on the shelf.那本词典放在书架上。
He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him.(1) warn作动词，意为“警告；告诫”，常用于以下结构：

3) warn sb. of/against (doing) sth. 意为“告诫某人当心/提防（做）某事”。They warned me against swimming in that part of the river. 他们告诫我不要在河的那一带游泳。
经典例题He warned Billy ________ away from his daughter.A. to keep B. keepsC. keeping D. kept答案：A
(2)end up意为“最终成为；最后处于，结束”，其后可以跟with; in; doing等：
1) end up with表示“以……结束”，其后可以跟任何名词。
If you do that, you’ll end up with egg on your face. 你要是那样做，必将出洋相。
2) end up in后面一般接一个地点名词。
If you continue to steal, you’ll end up in prison. 你要是继续行窃，早晚得进监狱。
3) end up doing 表示“以做……结束”。
The party ended up singing an English song. 晚会以一首英文歌而结束。
3. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes.
他现在用善良和热情对待每个人，无论走到哪里都播撒爱和快乐。
spreading love and joy everywhere he goes是现在分词短语作状语。现在分词短语在句子中作状语时，常表示动作的伴随、时间、原因、条件、结果或行为方式等。如：
①The old man sat in the sun, listening to the radio.
这个老人坐在太阳下，听着收音机。(表示伴随)
②Passing by the house, he saw a girl playing the piano.
他从房子旁边经过时，看到一个女孩正在弹钢琴。(表示时间)
4. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died.
used to do sth是一个固定结构，意思是“过去经常做某事”，后面用动词原形，表示过去的某种经常性、习惯性的行为或者动作，并意味着这种动作目前已经不存在。
肯定句：
I used to play with my friends after school.
过去放学后我常常和朋友们一起玩。

五、阅读理解
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms(节气). The Winter Solstice is the 22nd solar term of the year. It usually falls on December 21st, 22nd or 23rd.
On the Winter Solstice, the northern hemisphere(半球) experiences the shortest day and the longest night in the year. From then on, the days become longer and the nights become shorter. It also marks the arrival of the coldest season in the year.
There was a saying in ancient China, “The Winter Solstice is as important as the Spring Festival.” The Winter Solstice became a winter festival during the Han Dynasty(202 BC-220 AD). On this day, both officials and common people would have a rest.
Here are some foods people enjoy on the Winter Solstice.
Eating dumplings and tangyuan
During the Winter Solstice in North China, people like eating dumplings. In southern China and Taiwan, people will eat tangyuan.
Eating wontons(馄饨)
People in Suzhou, Jiangsu eat wontons on the Winter Solstice. According to an old story, during the midwinter feast(冬至宴会) 2,500 years ago, the King of Wu was disgusted with all kinds of costly(昂贵的) foods and wanted to eat something different. Then, the beauty Xishi came into the kitchen to make “wontons”. The king ate a lot and liked the food very much. To remember Xishi, the people of Suzhou made wontons to celebrate the festival.
Having mutton soup
In Yinchuan, Ningxia people call midwinter the “Ghost Festival”. On that day people there eat mutton soup with dumplings in it.
They give the midwinter soup a strange name—“brain”, and share it with their neighbors.
Eating rice cakes
During the Winter Solstice, people in Hangzhou traditionally eat rice cakes. In the past, before the Winter Solstice came, every family would make the cakes. Today, though fewer families eat home-made cakes, people there still buy rice cakes for the Winter Solstice.
( )26.Which is TRUE about the Winter Solstice in the northern hemisphere
A. It is the coldest day of a year.
B. It is the shortest day of a year.
C. It is always on December 22nd every year.
D. The day is longer than the night.
( )27.In China the Winter Solstice became a winter festival about years ago.
A.2,700 B.2,600 C.2,000 D.1,500
( )28.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “disgusted”
