语法
1： It is +adj. +to do sth.做…事怎么样
在此句型中it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式部分，由于主语较长，为了避免头重脚轻，用it做形式主语。有时it还可作为形式宾语，代替较长的宾语部分。
如：I find it interesting to watch the action film.
2： It is +adj. +for sb.+to do sth.对某人来说做…事怎么样
此结构是一个陈述句, 表示说话人对客观事件的决断, 比较正式。这类形容词有difficult, easy, hard, important, dangerous,(im)possible等。 如：
It’s very dangerous for children to cross the busy street.
3： It is +adj. +of sb.+to do sth.对某人来说做…事怎么样
此句型在英语中运用较为频繁,尤其在口语中。该句型通常表示说话人对客观事件的惊讶、兴奋、懊悔、难过等感叹情绪，其实相当于感叹句。
如： It’s very kind of you to help me.
该句型中用作表语的形容词常见的有如下几类:
(1) 表示聪明或愚蠢的形容词,有clever, wise, foolish, stupid, silly等, 如:

This is a song millions of Americans hear on New Year’s Eve. This is a song we hear in some classic movies like The Gold Rush (1925)Waterloo Bridge (1931) and It’s a Wonderful Life (1946). This is a song that has different versions(版本) around the world. It is called Auld Lang Syne.

Bagpipe makes special sound and it has a special look, with a bag at the bottom and one or several pipes connected to the bag.

When the Scots moved to America in the 1800s, they brought the song with them. But the Canadian bandleader Guy Lombardo made it well-known to the public. In 1965, he explained to a reporter of Life Magazine how he connected the song with New Year’s Eve: “Auld Lang Syne is our theme song. We end every dance with it.”

Lots of kids have been trying to find ways to help save the Earth. Some of them are encouraged by the “30 by 30” plan: Fifty countries have promised to protect 30% of Earth’s land and waters by 2030.
One of the kids is 11-year-old Beckett from Georgetown, Texas. He wants to help protect endangered species (物种). In 2019, he began working with Rainforest Trust. “I was really interested in trying to stop climate (气候) change,” he said.
With the help of his schoolmates, Beckett has started a group called Protection of Earth. The group organized a local Run and raised more than $700. The money helped to save more than 1,000 acres (英亩) of rainforest land. When the COVID-19 came, Beckett put together an online activity called Trivia: People could test their knowledge of birds, endangered species, and climate change. That raised $600 for rainforest land.
In Los Angeles, California, 10-year-old Justin is worried about frogs. Justin calls them “magical, because they come in different colors.” Last year he joined Rainforest Trust to help Ecuador’s rainforest and its frogs. He appeared on local TV news, and many people learned about what he had done. That helped him raise $2,000 to save almost three acres of Cloud Forest.
Justin hopes he can encourage other people to understand why frogs are so cool. “Frogs are telling us the planet (星球) needs help,” he said. “If frogs are dying wherever you are, that’s bad because it means the water you are drinking is polluted.”

My mom’s life was a busy one. Raising four kids on her own was a full time job in itself, but she also worked outside the home. Surprisingly, she always seemed to find a little bit of extra time for us.
She would take us over to my aunt’s in the evening when she worked as a waitress in a small restaurant. I thought she would pass us over to our aunt and hurry off as soon as we made it through the front gate, but that didn’t happen. Instead, we would sit on the porch (门廊), my mom in her waitress uniform, and we would rock in my aunt’s big wooden swing (秋千) and talk about what happened that day.
“I learned how to add numbers up to the hundreds,” my sister Sandy would say.
“That’s wonderful,” my mom would reply, holding her tight.
“I learned how to write my name!” Larry, my younger brother, would shout.
My mom would get a piece of paper and a pencil out of her purse and hand it to my brother. “Show me how you do it,” she’d ask softly.
“Do you have enough time to hear what I did today ” I’d ask her.
Mom would smile at me and nod. “I’m never too busy for something important like that!”
She gave us the gift of time again and again throughout the years. Later on in her life, when she came to live with us after her retirement(退休), my mom gave the gift of time to my children too. They would run around excitedly, asking their grandma if she would play with them, or read them a story, or go for a walk with them. By then my mom had health problems, but she would always nod and sit down and read to them or tell them stories about when she was a little girl. Those moments were a wonderful gift that my children still talk about and treasure.
In the last few years of her life, I would take her to lunch or sit with her on the porch, and we would talk about the past, the dream of the future, and just enjoy being with each other. My mom would listen as I shared all of my hopes, my fears, and my dreams for my family. I would look at her and ask her if she minded me taking up so much of her free time.
“Nonsense (胡说)” she’d tell me. Then she’d give me a wink and say, “I’m never too busy to spend time with you. It’s one of the greatest joys of my life.”
I will always remember those wonderful words and the loving heart behind them. It is a gift my mom gave to me for which I will forever be grateful. In this busy world of ours, and in a life filled with challenges, she always had time to share her joy with me.
