我希望可以在下午五点以前完成。
2. Mum, do you think that life is better today than in the past 妈妈，你认为现在的生活比过去的更好了吗？
比较级的常用句型：
(1) 比较级+ than, 表示“比…更…”
e.g. Health is more important than wealth.
健康比财富更重要。
(2) 比较级+and +比较级, 表示“越来越…”
e.g. The story gets more and more exciting.
这个故事越来越激动人心。
(3) the +比较级, the+比较级 表示“越…, 越…”
e.g. The more time you spend on it, the greater
progress you will make. 你在这上面花费
的时间越多, 你的进步就越大。
3. … and there’s less fear of getting ill because we know how to deal with the ordinary diseases. 我们也不太担心生病，因为我们知道如何治疗普通疾病。
fear n. 担心；害怕 in fear of … 担心；害怕
deal with 意思是“处理；安排；对付 ”，常与疑问副词how搭配使用。如：
e.g. Her brother feels no fear.她弟弟什么也不怕。
How will you deal with the thief who stole the diamond
你将如何处理那个偷了钻石的小偷呢？
4. But people don’t take as much exercise as they used to. 但是人们没有过去运动得多了。
(1) as…as… 同级比较, 否定句可以用not so/as…as...表示。as…as, not so…as中间用形容词、副词原级。
e.g. He is as tall as his father. 他和他的父亲一样高。
You are as clever as me. 你和我一样聪明。
(2) used to 指的是过去的习惯性动作, 目的在于与现在形成对照。
used to do sth. 指的是“过去常常做某事”，但是现在不做了。
e.g. I used to work hard. 我过去常常努力工作。
(暗含的意义是：我现在不努力工作了。)
I used to take an hour’s walk before breakfast.

② be/get used to doing 表示习惯于做某事
e.g. I have got used to getting up early in the morning. 我已经习惯早起了。

拓展：
① be used to 被用来做
e.g. This knife is usually used to cut fruit.
这把小刀常被用于切水果。
5. I suppose that’s because more people have cars…
我猜那是因为更多的人有了车……
suppose在这里是一个动词, 意为“猜想, 认为”, 后面可以接that引导的宾语从句, 此时注意对宾语从句的否定要移到主句上来。
e.g. I don’t suppose that he is at home. 我认为他没在家。
拓展:
① 构成be supposed to do / be sth. 结构, 意为“(按规定、习惯、安排等)应当”。
e.g. You’re supposed to go to the hospital to look after your mom.
你应该去医院照顾你妈妈。
② 意为“假定,设想”, 后接that引导的宾语从句, 多用于祈使句中。
e.g. Suppose that you are going to Japan — what will you do there
假设你要去日本, 你会在那里干什么？
6. Remember to speak up! She’s a bit deaf now.
记得说话大点儿声，她现在有点儿耳背了。

Mum: It’s getting late, Betty. How is your homework
Betty: Nearly finished. Mum, do you think that life is better today than in the past
Mum: Yes, of course, I do.
Betty: I do too. People are wealthier today, and they live longer than they did in the past.
Mum: That’s true. We know more about medicine today, and there’s less fear of getting ill because we know how to deal with the ordinary diseases. But people don’t take as much exercise as they used to.
Betty: I suppose that’s because more people have cars, and they walk or use their bikes less.
Mum: Some people think life in the past was simpler and healthier than today. More wealth sometimes means less health. When the number of cars is doubled, the pollution is also doubled, or even worse.
Betty: What about work Do people work as hard as they did fifty years ago
Mum: Yes, and they sometimes work harder. People seldom say they have enough spare time! Why don’t you go and ask Mrs Li, our neighbour She’s over seventy years old. She’s seen how life has changed.
Betty: That’s a good idea. I’ll go and ask her.
