句型梳理
1.It is hard to believe that he used to have difficulties in school.很难相信他过去在学校里有困难。
要点精析
"Itis hard tobelieve that 从句”意为“很难相信......”,其中it是形式主语,真正
的主语是动词不定式结构,其中that引导的从句作 believe的宾语
例:Itis hard to believe that shes only nine.很难相信她只有9岁
2. Now I understand that even though they are busy they are always
thinking ofme.现在我理解了,即使他们很忙,他们也总是在想着我。
要点精析 1
这是一个复合句,that引导的是宾语从句。该宾语从句中又含有一个由even though引导的让步状语从句
要点精析 2
even though相当于evenif,表示“即使;尽管”,引导让步状语从句
例: Even though you take a taxi you will miss the train.
即使你乘坐出租车,你也将赶不上火车了
要点精析 3
be always doing sth意为“总是做某事”,常用于表达说话人的某种情绪,如赞扬不满、责备等
例: He was always asking his parents for money.他总是向他父母要钱
She is always thinking of her parents.她总是想着她的父母。
3. They take pride in everything good that I do.他们为我做的每一件好事感到自豪
要点精析 1
take pride in 意为“为......感到自豪”,常用于因取得某种成绩或荣誉而感到自豪
例:His father takes great pride in what he has done
他父亲对他做的事情感到非常自豪
要点精析 2
everything good意为“每一件好事“。形容词good 在这里作定语,修饰前面的
不定代词everything。形容词作定语修饰something,anything,nothing, everything等不定代词时,形容词要放在这些不定代词的后面
例: Here isn't anything Interesting in today's newspaper.
今天的报纸上没有任何有趣的东西

Changes in my life
Hello, everyone. I'm Tom. When I was in primary school, I used to get up at seven o'clock. But now, I get up at six o'clock. I used to have lunch at home, but now I have lunch at school. I used to have five classes a day, but now I have eight classes. I used to leave school at four o'clock, but at five o'clock now. In the evening, I used to watch TV, and go to bed at eight o'clock, but now I have to do my homework and go to bed at half past nine. It seems that I've changeda lot in the past few years.
