【词汇用法】
1.helpful 有用的
helpful“有用的；有帮助的” ，是由 help 加形容词后缀ful 构成的形容词。常用搭配 be helpful to sb./sth.“对某人/物有帮助”。
e.g. My teacher gave me a lot of helpful books on math.
我的老师给我许多数学方面的有用的书。
The dictionary is helpful to me. 这本词典对我很有帮助。
silent 形容词,意为“不说话的；沉默的；寂静的”，
常用短语be/keep silent 表示“保持沉默”。
e.g. She was silent when her mother asked her questions.
她妈妈问她问题时，她沉默不语。
Please keep silent in public places. 在公共场所请保持安静。
silent →silence n. 沉默；寂静（in silence）
→silently adv. 沉默地
from time to time
表示“时常；有时”，相当于 sometimes/at times。
e.g. She goes to the movies from time to time.她时常去看电影。
【重点语法】
used to 的用法
1. used to意为“过去经常；以前常常”，是一个固定结构，属于情态动词范畴，其后跟动词原形。它表示过去存在的某种状态或过去某种经常性、习惯性的行为或动作，并意味着这种情况目前已不复存在，因此，它只能用于过去时，不可以用于现在时。He used to play basketball with his friends after school.他过去放学后常与他的朋友们打篮球。We used to travel around the country.我们过去常去全国各地旅行。
2. used to常用did和didn’t来构成疑问句或否定句。Did she use to like singing popular songs 她过去喜欢唱流行歌曲吗？Tom used to listen to rock music, didn’t he 汤姆过去常听摇滚乐，是吗？My father didn’t use to water flowers in his garden. 我父亲过去不常常在院子里浇花。
3. used to也可以用于there be结构，表示“过去有”。There used to be a meeting every Mondy morning last month.上个月每星期一上午总开会。There used to be lots of trees.过去有许多树。
辨析：used to do, be used to do与be used to doing
used to do “过去常常做某事”，用于各种人称，只用于过去时be used to do “被用于做某事”是被动语态，可用于各种人称、时态，其中used是实义动词use“用”的过去式be used to doing “习惯于做某事”用于各种人称、时态，其中to是介词
一言辨异：The boy used to play with stones, and the stones were used to make into many things, but now he is used to playing with his toy cars.这个男孩过去常玩石头，那些石头被用来做成很多东西，但他现在习惯于玩玩具汽车。
【重点句型】
What’s he like now 他现在是什么样子？
“What + be + 主语 + like ”用来询问某人的外貌特征，意为“……长什么样？”，相当于“What do/does + 主语 + look like ” 。
e.g. —What’s your brother like 你哥哥长什么样？
—He is tall and strong. 他又高又壮。
“What + be + 主语 + like ”的其他用法：
①指人的性格或品质等特征
②指事物的外部特征
—What is he like 他什么样？
—He is strict but kind. 他很严格但很善良。
—What’s your room like 你的房间怎么样？
—It’s big and bright. 宽敞又明亮。
辨析：be like 和look like
be like: “像…一样”，常指品德、相貌等相像 更侧重人的个性特征。
The twin sister are like their father.双胞胎很像他们的父亲。
look like: “看起来像…”常指外貌上相像。
I look like my mother. 我长得像我妈。
This party is such a great idea! 这次聚会真是个不错的主意！
“such + a/an + adj. + 可数名词单数”意为“如此……的一个……”，可与“so + adj. + a/an + 可数名词单数”相互转换。
e.g. It’s such a good film.=It’s so good a film. 它是如此好的一部电影。
3.I used to be afraid of the dark.
used to do sth. 过去常常做某事
表示过去经常性或习惯性的动作或状态，暗指现在已经不存在了,强调过去与现在的对比。
used to的否定形式有两种：didn’t use to usedn’t to
used to用于疑问句时，可借助助动词did，也可以将used提到主语前。
e.g. They used to live in the same town. 他们过去住在同一个小镇。 (暗示现在不是这样了)
Mrs. Brown didn’t use to / usedn’t to eat salad.布朗夫人过去不吃沙拉。
Did you use to / Used you to watch TV a lot 你过去总看电视吗？
to是不定式符号
【拓展】几个易混结构的比较：
used to do sth. 过去常常做某事 to是不定式符号
use ... to do sth. 用…做… to是不定式符号
e.g. We use computers to do a lot of work now. 现在我们电脑做很多工作。
be used to do sth. 被用来做某事 to是不定式符号
e.g. Computers are used to do a lot of work by us now. 现在我们电脑做很多工作。

五、阅读理解
What is one thing that would help parents understand their kids better 8, 000 US kids answered this question in an online poll(民意调查)by Kids Health. org.
Many US kids — two out of three — said they get along with their parents. But that doesn't mean they never disagree. In fact, most kids reported arguing with their parents, at least sometimes. And two out of five kids said arguments sometimes even included shouting at each other.
"It's certainly normal to disagree and argue," says Darcy Lyness, an American expert. "But it's also important to learn how to do so respectfully (尊重地). Be patient. Don't use a raised, angry voice."
And not surprisingly, three out of four kids said they had lied to their parents sometimes. Many said they lied so they would not get into trouble or disappoint their parents. According to Lyness, lying isn't just wrong. It can actually have bad results. Telling the truth builds trust.
Telling the truth, says Lyness, shows maturity (成熟). But older kids actually lied more often than younger ones. Kids aged 12 to 14 not only said they lied more, but they also reported having less fun, feeling less close and not getting along well with their parents.
According to Lyness, those feelings are common. As kids become more independent (独立的), they have more areas of disagreement with their parents. But it doesn't have to be that way. "Kids and parents get along differently at each stage of the journey," she says."As kids grow and change, it is important for everybody to change."
( )26.In Lyness's opinion, kids their parents.
A. never agree with B. may argue with C. must always agree with D. can shout at
( )27.Why do some kids lie to their parents
A. They don't trust their parents. B. They don't want to get into trouble.
C. They don't think lying is wrong. D. They are disappointed with their parents.
( )28. out of the 8, 000 students in the poll said that they have lied to their parents.
A. 3,000 B. 4,500 C. 6,000 D. 7,500
( )29.According to Paragraph 5, older kids .
A. have more fun in life B. seldom lie to their parents
C. feel less close to their parents D. get along better with their parents
( )30.The writer wrote this article to .
A. explain why kids tell lies B. show how parents and kids get along
C. avoid troubles between parents and kids
D. help parents and kids understand each other better
六、语法填空
