The two armies exchanged prisoners.作战双方交换战俘。
We shall have opportunity to exchange views tomorrow.我们明天有机会交换看法。
They exchanged experiences at the meeting.他们在会上交流经验。
（2）exchange作及物动词时，其宾语后常接介词for，表示“以……换取”；接介词with表示“与某人交换(某物)/与某人交流（想法等）”。
例如：I’d like to exchange a watch for a camera.我想用表换相机。
Would you like to exchange places with me 你愿意跟我换一下地方吗

2.behave的用法

behave /b he v/ v. 表现；举止
behave在此处作不及物动词。behave还可作及物动词，常用短语为behave oneself，意为“举止规矩有礼；行为检点”。
3.except的用法
【课文详解】Another example is that you’re not supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit. 另一个例子是除了面包外，你不应该用手拿着吃任何东西，甚至水果也不能。
【句型剖析】except 介词，意为“除……之外”
We all went to the old people’s home except John. 除了约翰没去敬老院之外，我们都去了。
辨析：except与besides
except表示“除……之外（不再有）”，指从整体中排除except所接的人或物。
All the students went to the zoo except Jim. 除了吉姆，所有的学生都去动物园了。
besides表示“除……之外（还有）”，它的意思是在原有的基础上加上besides除外的人或物。
I have a few good friends besides you. 除了你之外，我还有几个好朋友。

4.get used to和it做形式宾语的用法
【课文详解】 I find it difficult to remember everything, but I’m gradually getting used to it.我发现很难记住所有的东西，但我逐渐习惯了。
【句型剖析】动词短语get used to表示“渐渐习惯……”，后接名词、代词作宾语。与同义短语“be used to”略有不同。get used to强调的是由“不习惯”到“习惯”的这个过程，而“be used to”所强调的只是“习惯了”这个状态。例如：
The food here is not so tasty but you will get used to that.
这里的伙食不怎么样，但你会慢慢习惯的。
The food here is not so tasty but he is used to that.
这里的伙食不怎么样，但是他已经习惯了。
He is used to getting up early. 他习惯了早起。
【句型剖析】当不定式用作宾语且其后跟有宾语补足语时，通常会在宾语补足语前使用形式宾语it，而将真正的宾语移至句末，其基本结构为“动词+it+宾语补足语+不定式短语”。例如：
I find it difficult to do the job well.
我发现做好这个工作不容易。
I find it easy to get on with her.
我发现她很容易相处。
【拓展】当不定式、动名词、从句等用作主语时，为避免头重脚轻，通常在句首使用形式主语it，而把真正的主语放在句子末尾。例如：
It’s a pity to refuse. 拒绝是令人遗憾的。
It’s no use saying any more about it. 再谈这事没有用。
It’s not known where she went. 她到哪里去了没人知道。
【注意】It is said / reported / believed / understood that… 这类结构中的 it 也是形式主语。
It’s reported that two people were injured in the accident.
据报道这次事故中有两人受伤。
【即学即练】In the past, people used to ________ in cash (现金), but now people get used to ________ with WeChat.
A．pay; pay B．paying; paying C．pay; paying D．paying; pay

Pigs Teach Us About Life
China and Western countries may have different cultural beliefs（信仰）about animals, but when it comes to pigs, there are almost no different ideas for us and we all have the 26 ideas and opinions. We all think that pigs are ugly, lay and silly.
Let’s look at the idioms（习语）and phrases in our languages. In Chinese, people often say “Boiling a dead pig”, and “A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig”. And in English, there are also expressions such 27 “eating like a pig” and “to teach a pig to play on a flute（笛子）”. All these idioms and phrases have nothing to do with admiration（钦佩）or praise.
However, that is not true. As a matter of 28 , pigs have some fine qualities（品质）especially when the Year of the Pig comes at the Chinese Spring Festival.
First of all, a research report shows that pigs are not 29 at all but very clever. They like to play. They can remember things for a long time. And they know the differences 30 good people and bad people.
There are also lovely pig characters in cartoons. Peppa Pig, for example, a TV play has now become 31 of the most popular cartoons in 180 countries. The four members in the cartoon’s pig family 32 all the children about love, friendship, and the value of family.
And another example is McDul（麦兜）. The creator（创作者）of McDull said, “People are paying too much attention to high speed and quick results, but McDull（麦兜）is slow and patient. No matter how difficult the road to success is, he always keeps on 33 hard for his dreams even though he keeps failing. He has a heart of gold.”Unit 10 You’re supposed to shake hands.

【探究提升】
1.exchange的用法
（1）作动词，意为“交换”，引申可表示“交流”经验、思想等。例如：
The two girls always exchanged Christmas gifts.两个女孩经常交换圣诞礼物。
The two armies exchanged prisoners.作战双方交换战俘。
We shall have opportunity to exchange views tomorrow.我们明天有机会交换看法。
They exchanged experiences at the meeting.他们在会上交流经验。
（2）exchange作及物动词时，其宾语后常接介词for，表示“以……换取”；接介词with表示“与某人交换(某物)/与某人交流（想法等）”。
例如：I’d like to exchange a watch for a camera.我想用表换相机。
Would you like to exchange places with me 你愿意跟我换一下地方吗
He likes to exchange ideas with others.他喜欢与别人交流思想。
【拓展】
（1）exchange作名词，意为“交换”。例如：

（2）exchange作名词，意为“兑换，兑换率”。例如：
I’d like to know the exchange rate for German marks. 我想知道德国马克的兑换率。
（3）exchange作名词，意为“交易所”。例如：

【典例】—Excuse me! I want to exchange this coat ________ that one.
—OK. Please just a minute.
A．to B．with C．for
【答案】C
【详解】句意：——打扰一下！我想要把这件外套换成那件。——好的，请等一下。
考查介词辨析。to到；with用；for为了。根据“I want to exchange this coat … that one.” 可知，此句指“我想要换一下外套”。exchange... for...意为 “用……换取”，故选C。
2.behave的用法
My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. (教材P78 2b)
behave /b he v/ v. 表现；举止
behave在此处作不及物动词。behave还可作及物动词，常用短语为behave oneself，意为“举止规矩有礼；行为检点”。

【句型剖析】except 介词，意为“除……之外”
We all went to the old people’s home except John. 除了约翰没去敬老院之外，我们都去了。
辨析：except与besides
except表示“除……之外（不再有）”，指从整体中排除except所接的人或物。
All the students went to the zoo except Jim. 除了吉姆，所有的学生都去动物园了。
besides表示“除……之外（还有）”，它的意思是在原有的基础上加上besides除外的人或物。
I have a few good friends besides you. 除了你之外，我还有几个好朋友。
【即学即练】Everyone except Tom and John ________ there when the meeting began.
A．are B．were C．was
【答案】C
【详解】句意：会议开始的时候，除了汤姆和约翰每个人都在。
考查主谓一致。根据“began”可知，主句时态应为一般过去时，排除A；except“除了”，不包括在内，句子的主语是就远原则，everyone作主语强调个体，谓语动词要用单数，排除B。故选C。
4.get used to和it做形式宾语的用法
【课文详解】 I find it difficult to remember everything, but I’m gradually getting used to it.我发现很难记住所有的东西，但我逐渐习惯了。
【句型剖析】动词短语get used to表示“渐渐习惯……”，后接名词、代词作宾语。与同义短语“be used to”略有不同。get used to强调的是由“不习惯”到“习惯”的这个过程，而“be used to”所强调的只是“习惯了”这个状态。例如：
The food here is not so tasty but you will get used to that.
这里的伙食不怎么样，但你会慢慢习惯的。
The food here is not so tasty but he is used to that.
这里的伙食不怎么样，但是他已经习惯了。
He is used to getting up early. 他习惯了早起。
【句型剖析】当不定式用作宾语且其后跟有宾语补足语时，通常会在宾语补足语前使用形式宾语it，而将真正的宾语移至句末，其基本结构为“动词+it+宾语补足语+不定式短语”。例如：
I find it difficult to do the job well.
我发现做好这个工作不容易。
I find it easy to get on with her.
我发现她很容易相处。
【拓展】当不定式、动名词、从句等用作主语时，为避免头重脚轻，通常在句首使用形式主语it，而把真正的主语放在句子末尾。例如：
It’s a pity to refuse. 拒绝是令人遗憾的。
It’s no use saying any more about it. 再谈这事没有用。

【注意】It is said / reported / believed / understood that… 这类结构中的 it 也是形式主语。
It’s reported that two people were injured in the accident.
据报道这次事故中有两人受伤。
【即学即练】In the past, people used to ________ in cash (现金), but now people get used to ________ with WeChat.
A．pay; pay B．paying; paying C．pay; paying D．paying; pay
【答案】C
【详解】句意：过去人们常常用现金支付，但现在人们习惯用微信支付。
考查非谓语动词。used to do sth.“过去常常做某事”；get used to doing sth.“习惯于做某事”。根据“In the past, people used to...”可知是过去常常用现金支付，用used to do；空二表示“习惯用微信支付”，用get used to doing。故选C。
—I find ________ hard to get on well with my parents these days.
—You’d better talk and share your feelings with them often.
A．that B．what C．it
【答案】C
【详解】句意：——我发现这几天很难和父母相处融洽。——你最好经常和他们交流你的感受。
考查it作形式宾语的用法。根据“I find ...hard to get on well”可知此处固定句型：sb find it+形容词+to do sth“某人发现做某事是……”，此处it作形式宾语，故选C。
