Read paragraph 1 of Text 1. Tell each other
who Mr Bean is and what is so special about him.
Mr Bean is an internationally recognised comedy
character in films and TV series.
He is special because his humour is always made clear through a series of simple and funny acts that rely purely on body language.
Task 2
Read the rest of Text 1 and focus on the two scenes of
Mr Bean at the fancy restaurant.
Underline the verbs or verb phrases that are used to describe Mr Bean’s actions. Then take notes using the diagrams below.
Scene 1
is seated at the table
takes out a card
writes a few words
Scene 2
looks at the menu, surprised
takes all the money
out of his wallet
counts it
Task 3
Check your answers.
Scene 1
is seated at the table
takes out
a card
writes a few words
puts it in an envelope
places it on the table
looks back at the envelope and looks surprised
opens it to find a birthday card
puts it on the table very happily for everyone to see
②One of my favourite episodes was Mr Bean in a fancy restaurant. After being seated at his table, Mr Bean takes out a card, writes a few words on it, puts it in an envelope and places it on the table. After a moment, he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised, as if he did not know it was there. He opens it to find a birthday card and very happily puts it on the table for everyone to see.
Scene 2
looks at the menu, surprised
takes all the money out of
his wallet
counts it
puts it in a saucer
looks from the menu to the money with concern
orders “steak tartare”
makes an attempt to eat it
smiles and nods
hides inside the purse of a woman
throws some down the trousers of the restaurant's violinist
③When he looks at the menu, an astonished look quickly appears on his face. He takes all the money out of his wallet, counts it and puts it in a saucer. He then looks from the menu to the money with concern until he finds one thing that makes him smile. Then he orders a dish called “steak tartare”. When the dish arrives, he is shocked to discover that “steak tartare” is actually raw hamburger. He makes an attempt to eat it, but it is clear from the look on his face as he is chewing that he finds the taste truly awful. He cannot hide his feelings, except when the waiters ask if everything is all right.
When this happens, he smiles and nods, indicating that everything is fine. When the waiters are not looking, however, he busies himself hiding the raw meat anywhere he can reach - the sugar bowl, the tiny flower vase, inside a bread roll and under a plate. He becomes so desperate in the end that he even hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the trousers of the restaurant’s violinist!
④I like to watch Mr Bean on TV but I wouldn’t want to meet someone like him in real life, and I certainly wouldn’t want to have dinner with him!
憨豆先生
憨豆先生是一个国际知名的影视喜剧人物。他的著名之处在于总是遇到尴尬的情境,使来自不同国家、不同文化背景的观众都觉得非常好笑。憨豆先生的幽默总是通过一连串简单、可笑的动作清晰地表达出来,完全依靠肢体语言这一全世界都能理解的方式。
我喜欢的一集是憨豆先生在一家高档餐厅用餐的故事。在餐厅里就座后,憨豆先生拿出一张卡片,在上面写了几个字,塞进信封,放在桌子上。过了一会儿,他再看那信封,露出惊讶的表情,好像完全不知道它在那里。打开信封后,发现是张生日贺卡,他便高兴地把贺卡放在桌上向大家炫耀起来。
看菜单时,憨豆先生脸上立刻露出震惊的表情。他把钱包里所有的钱都拿出来,数了数,放进碟子里。他担心地一会儿看看菜单,一会儿看看钱,最终找到了一种食物,脸上露出了微笑。然后他点了一道“鞑靼牛肉”。可上菜的时候,憨豆先生惊讶地发现“鞑靼牛肉”其实就是生肉馅。他尝了尝,从他那咀嚼的表情就能看出,这东西一点都不好吃。他无法掩饰自己的感觉,除了在服务员问他是否一切满意时。服务员问他的时候,他笑着点点头,装作一切都好的样子。
然而,当服务员没有注意的时候,他却忙着把生肉藏到任何地方——糖碗、小花瓶、小面包卷里和盘子下面。最后他无计可施,居然把一部分生肉藏在旁边女士的钱包里,塞进餐厅小提琴手的裤子里!
我喜欢看电视里的憨豆先生,却不希望在现实生活中遇到像他这样的人,更不想和他共进晚餐!

Task 2
④When Rowan was young, he had a stutter and to make his speech clearer, he began to speak very carefully. This may be why some of his characters have unusual ways of speaking.
⑤As early as primary school, Rowan had already shown a talent for acting, but it was only later at university that he decided to become an actor. A key event occurred one day in 1976 when he was playing around and pulling a face in the mirror. “I discovered my face,”he said later.
⑥John Lloyd, who worked as a producer for BBC Television, says that one rarely meets someone with such genius, and that when he worked with Atkinson he became convinced that Rowan would be more famous than Charlie Chaplin.

当代卓别林
罗温 艾金森,英国喜剧演员、编剧。艾金森先生在英国的名气主要源于他参演了很多著名影视剧。但在国际上,我们所熟悉的他是那个尴尬、笨拙,总能把人逗乐的憨豆先生。如果你认为罗温 艾金森和他扮演的憨豆先生角色一样,那你一定会感到惊讶。相反,他本人实际上一点也不像憨豆先生。
罗温出生于1955 年1 月6 日,随父母在农场长大,家中有三个哥哥。他的父亲非常严厉,不相信电视的价值。
罗温的学生生涯非常成功。他13 岁就获得了一所寄宿学校的奖学金,之后就读于纽卡斯尔大学,并以专业第一名的优异成绩毕业。随后,他又取得牛津大学电机工程硕士学位。这也许是他为什么那么喜欢跑车,而且收藏了很多跑车的原因吧。
罗温小时候有口吃的毛病,为了讲话更清楚,他说话格外仔细。这也是他所塑造的一些角色讲话方式与众不同的原因。
早在小学时,罗温就表现出了表演天赋,但直到大学毕业,他才决定当一名演员。1976 年的一天发生了一件关键的事情,闲玩之中他对着镜子做鬼脸。后来他说,“那天,我发现了自己的另一副面孔。”
英国广播公司电视台的制片人约翰 劳埃德说,遇到这样的天才很难得,与罗温的合作使他相信罗温会比查理 卓别林更出名。

I can learn about and practice adverbs.
I know the types and use of adverbs.
Learning
Objectives
Adverbs modify or tell us more about a verb, an adjective or another adverb.
副词用来修饰动词、形容词或其他副词。
eg She speaks softly.
She is very beautiful.
She runs extremely fast.
Adverbs usually answer the questions, how, where, when, how often and to what extent.
Adverbs
副词大体上可分为下面几类:
(1) 时间副词: now, recently, tonight, soon, before, early, immediately, yesterday等
副词的分类
(2) 地点副词: here, somewhere, downstairs, eastward, nearby, abroad, behind, inside等
(3) 方式副词: politely, brightly, firmly, sharply等
(4) 程度副词: almost, entirely, strongly, extremely, slightly, very, absolutely, hardly, too, quite等
(5) 频率副词: regularly, always, often, seldom, sometimes, never等
(6) 疑问副词: how, where, when, why等

(8) 关系副词: when, where, why等
(9) 句子副词: fortunately, hopefully, actually, interestingly等
(10) 与上文连接更紧的副词: however, therefore, besides, nevertheless, meanwhile等
1) 修饰形容词、副词、介词短语,以及从句、整句时,副词要放在它们的前面。只是副词enough要放在被修饰的形容词和副词后面。
eg The theatre was not quite full.
The company is badly in need of new blood.
Our new house is nice, exactly what we’ve always wanted.
We were fortunate enough to get an empty car.
副词的位置
2) 频度副词一般放在系动词be之后,行为动词之前;如有情态动词或助动词,则放在这类动词之后。
eg It’s often difficult to translate poetry.
He never said a word the whole two hours.
She has never been to Beijing.
词义有差别的同根副词
有些副词有两种不同的形式,一种与形容词同形,另一种由形容词加后缀-ly构成。二者有时区别不大,但在许多情况下二者是有区别的:前者多用在直接或具体的场合,后者多用在抽象的场合。
eg come near 走近(具体而直接)
nearly ten o’clock 近10点钟(抽象)
jump high 跳得高(具体)
highly developed 高度发展的(抽象)
Landing on the moon’s far side is _________ (extreme) challenging. (2020课标全国I)
