most kids. That’s why I like reading books
and I study harder in class. My best friend
Yuan Li is quiet too, so we enjoy studying together. I’m shy so it’s not easy for me to make friends.

It’s not necessary to be the same. My best
friend Larry is quite different from me. He
is taller and more outgoing than me. We both
like sports, but he plays tennis better , so he
always wins. However, Larry often helps to
bring out the best in me. So I’m getting better at tennis. Larry is much less hard-working, though. I always get better grades than he does, so maybe I should help him more.

Language points
I’m shy so it's not easy for me to make friends.
我很害羞，所以交朋友对我来说并不容易。
【解读】 “It’s +adj.+ for sb. to do sth.”是固定结构，意为“做某事对某人来说是……的”。该结构中的it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语。句中的形容词为描述事物特征的词，如difficult, easy , hard, important, dangerous, necessary, possible等，表示对某人而言时，其后的介词用for。
【活学活用】1) 每天吃大量的蔬菜对我们来说是很重要的。______________________________________
2) 学好英语对我们来说很重要。__________________________________
It’s very important for us to eat a lot of vegetables every day.
It's important for us to learn English well.
But I think best friends are like books — you don’t need a lot of them as long as they’re good. 但我认为最好的朋友就像书一样，你不需要很多只要他们是好的。
【解读】 此句话的字面意思是“只要朋友好，你并不需要许多”实则表达了汉语“(朋友)不在多而贵在好”这样的意思。此句中long为副词，与as…as构成一个固定搭配as long as,用来链接句子表示“只要，既然”，表示条件，意为 “只要”，用来引导条件状语从句。
【活学活用】1) 既然你说了实话，我将会帮助你。 ______________________________________
2) 只要你高兴就好。__________________________________
As long as you tell truth , I’ll try to help you.
It’s fine as long as you’re happy.
【注意】His hair is as long as yours. 他的头发跟你的一样长。
（as ... as 前是系动词，则as ... as 中间应用形容词原级。)
He did as carefully as you. 他做的跟你一样认真。
(as … as 其前如果是行为动词，则as…as 中间应用副词原级。)
一些带有 as ... as 结构的常见短语归纳：
as busy as a bee 像蜜蜂一样忙碌
as easy as ABC 像ABC一样容易
as deep as a well 像井一样深
as light as a feather 像羽毛一样轻
as soft as butter 像黄油一样软
as rich as a Jew 像犹太人一样富裕
I don’t really care if my friends are the same as me or different.我真的不在乎我的朋友是和我相同或与我不同。
【解读】bring out是一个习语，意思是“使显现；使表现出”。bring out the best/worst in someone意为“把某人最好(最坏)的一面表现或显露出来”。bring out还可意为“出版；生产”。
【活学活用】1) 那件连衣裙果真能衬托出你的肤色。______________________________________
2) 我想阐明一下这首诗的意义。__________________________________
3) 这家公司正在生产一种新型跑车。__________________________________
That dress really brings out the color of your skin.
I want to bring out the meaning of the poem.
The company is bringing out a new sports car.
I don’t really care if my friends are the same as me or different.
我并不真的在意我的朋友是和我相同还是不同。
【解读】if在此作连词，意为“是否”，其后所引导的句子是主句I don’t really care中的谓语动词care的宾语，故称作“宾语从句”。
if 还可引导条件状语从句，意为“如果”。此时若主句为一般将来时，if引导的条件状语从句要用一般现在时表示将来。
【活学活用】1) 我不知道他是否在家。______________________________________
2) 他问我是否喜欢音乐。__________________________________
3) 如果明天下雨，我将不会和你们一起去那里。__________________________________
I don’t know if he is at home.
He asks me if I like music.
I won’t go there with you if it rains tomorrow.
