让步状语从句:让步状语从句表示“虽然,即使,尽管”。常用的引导词有:although,though,even though, even if均为“虽然,即使,尽管”之意,都不能跟but连用即主句中不能出现but,但可用yet.
although语气比though强且正式,用于书面语;even if强调假定性,而even though强调事实且语气更强。
eg: Although I had a busy holiday, I am happy yet.虽然我假日很忙,但我很快乐 。
The apples are very sweet though they are small.苹果虽小,但很甜。
Even though he has no money, I like him.尽管他没钱(是事实),我还是喜欢他。
Even if he has no money, I like him.即使他没钱(假设),我还是喜欢他。
though引导的让步状语从句还可以用于部分倒装句式:Strange though he seems, I still let him in .

写作
My first experience at home alone was unforgettable.
When I was twelve, once both of my parents were away on business, and I had to be at home on my own for two days. My parents left early the first day, and l got up soon after they left. In the first evening, I was a little scared, so I turned on all the lights. In order not to get up late the next morning, I put three alarm clocks near my bed and set the alarms at 6:00, 6:10 and 6:15. The next day, to show that I could take care of myself, I washed my own clothes and cooked dinner, though I could wait for my mother to do it.
When my parents came back, they were very happy. They praised me. I am really proud of myself and thought I had grown up.

三、阅读理解
All parents need to face the decision to leave their children home alone for the first time. Whether they are just running to the store for a few minutes or working during after- school hours, they need to be sure their children have the skills to handle the situation. Staying at home alone can be a valuable experience for children if they are well prepared. It can make them more confident and more independent.
The following suggestions may help you to prepare your child and to feel more comfortable about leaving him/ her alone:
Have a test. When you leave your child home alone for the first time, don't go far. Besides, you should come back in a short time. This is a good way to see how he/ she will manage.
Role play. Act out possible situations to help your child learn what to do, such as how to manage visitors and how to answer phone calls in a way that doesn't make others know he/ she is home alone.
▲ . Make sure your child knows what is ( and is not) allowed when you are not home. Experts suggest making a list of housework or tasks to keep children busy while you are away.
Check in. Call your child while you are away to see how it's going, or have a friend check in.
Talk about being home alone. Encourage your child to share his/ her feelings with you about being home alone. Do this before leaving your child. And when you return, have another conversation with your child about his/ her experiences and feelings while you were away.

四、回答问题
Salt has always been important to people. In the past, it was as valuable as gold. Over the years, people discovered different ways to get salt. Some early people got salt from rocks. In other places, people got salt from the sea. They took sea water and put it in the sun. After a long time, the water dried up (耗尽). Then people could get salt.
Today, people still get salt from the sea. But most salt comes from salt mines (矿) and salt wells (井). How do people get salt from salt mines They dig deep into the ground for it. To get salt from salt wells, people put two pipes (管子) into the ground. Water is sent down through one of the pipes. And the water is mixed with the salt in salt wells. It makes salt water. Then the salt water is pushed up through the other pipe. Later, the salt is taken out of the salt water.
People once worked hard to find and make salt. Now, people can buy it at any food store.
