Activity 2
How much do you know about country music
乡村音乐(Country music)是一种具有美国民族特色的流行音乐，于20世纪20年代兴起于美国南部，其根源来自英国民谣，是美国白人民族音乐代表。乡村音乐的特点是曲调简单，节奏平稳，带有叙事性，具有较浓的乡土气息。
如果说好莱坞是美国的电影之乡，那么田纳西州首府纳什维尔就是美国的音乐之乡。“纳什维尔”就不单单指一个地名，而成为人们印象中美国乡村音乐的代名词。

Activity 3
Work in groups. Find out some language points that you think are important and share their use with your classmates and give some examples.
Language point
1. When Sarah was a teenager, she used to fight over almost everything with her family.
used to do sth表示过去的习惯性动作，过去如此，现在不再这样了。常译作“过去常常”。
be used to doing习惯于做某事
be used to do sth.被用来做…
(1) 他年轻的时候常常打篮球。He used to play basketball when he was young.
(2) 他现在习惯了住在农村。He is used to living in the country now.
(3) 木材被用来造纸。Wood is used to make paper.
Language point
2. Many songs these days are just about modern life in the US, such as the importance of money and success, but not about belonging to a group.
belong to意为“属于……，为……所拥有”。belong to不能用于被动语态，也不能用于进行时态。
belong to中的to是介词，后接名词或人称代词的宾格形式，不能接名词性物主代词或名词所有格。
e.g. (1) 我曾是一个青年俱乐部的成员。
I used to belong to a youth club.
(2) 这间教室属于我们。
This classroom belongs to us.
Language point
3. Country music brings us back to the “good old days” when people were kind to each other and trusted one another.
英语中表示“相互”的词组有两个，即one another和each other。二者都是“相互，互相”之意，通常作宾语，不能作主语，可通用。
each other和one another都有其所有格，即可在其后加“'s”。
e.g. (1) 我和Lucy相识好多年了。
Lucy and I have known one another for years.
(2) 学生们互借笔记。
The students borrowed each other's notes.
Language point
4. It reminds us that the best things in life are free — laughter, friends, family, and the beauty of nature and the countryside.
remind v.提醒;使想起……，使回忆起……
remind sb. of sth. 表示“让某人想起……”
remind sb. to do sth. 表示“提醒某人要做某事”
remind sb. +that从句或wh-从句
e.g. (1) 请提醒她明早早起去赶早班车。
Please remind her to get up early next morning for the early bus.
(2) 这些照片让我想起了旧时光。
These photos remind me of the old days.
5. Sarah hasn't been to Nashville yet.
“have/has been to＋某地”意为“去过某地（已经回来）”，当表地点的词为副词时，则省略to。否定形式在have/has后加not。
【拓展】“have/has gone to＋某地”意为“去某地了（尚未回来）”。
e.g. (1) 我去过北京动物园。他以前没去过那儿。
I have been to Beijing Zoo. He hasn't been there before.
(2) —汤姆在哪儿？ —他去图书馆了。
—Where is Tom？ —He has gone to the library.
Language point
6. He's sold more than 120 million records..
hundred n.百 hundreds of 数以百的
thousand n.千 thousands of成千上万的
million n.百万 millions of数百万的
【注意】(1)当hundred/thousand/million 前面有具体的数字时,用单数形式(2)当hundred/thousand/million 后与of 连用时用复数形式。millions of 是“数百万”的意思,前面不能加数词
【口诀】具体的不加s 也不加of, 不具体的加s 也加of。 例如:Three million workers have planted millions of trees. 三百万的工人种植了数百万棵树。
Language point
易错辨析:a number of和the number of
(1). a number of +名词复数 =lots of+名词复数,其后谓语动词用复数。
例如:　　There are a number of ants on the ground. 地上有很多蚂蚁。 number 前面可以加修饰词 small, large, great等表示程度。
例如:　　A large number of students are playing basketball on the playground.
(2). “the number of+名词复数”表示“……的数量”,谓语动词用第三人称单数。例如:　　The number of the apples is 40. 苹果的数量是40。
