LESSON STRUCTURE
CLASS OPENING
Greeting
Greet the class. Start the lesson by having a discussion about war. What does war mean Why is war bad What are some wars they know about Teacher: What is a war
Students: A war is when two countries or more fight with one another.
Teacher: That's right. Is war a happy time Students: No.
Teacher: Correct. War is a sad time. People are fighting and hurting one another. Do you know about any wars
Allow several students to respond.
Teacher: Countries go to war for many different reasons. But war is never the answer. Today's lesson is about the UN. In 1945, after World War II ended, some countries got together and formed the United Nations (UN). The UN is a group of countries that all joined together to talk about their disputes and try to come to an agreement peacefully instead of fighting. Do you think that's a good idea
Students: Yes.
Teacher: I agree. Now let's look at the lesson and learn more.

LANGUAGE NOTES
1. In the early twentieth century, people suffered through many wars.20世纪初，人们在很多战争 中受苦受难。
（1）suffer在本句中用作不及物动词，意思是“受痛苦；受苦难”。表示“受.··的苦”，通常用suffer from。例如：
The patient is still suffering.病人仍很痛苦。 I am suffering from a headache.我正在遭受头痛之 苦。
They suffered from a serious flood last year.去年他 们遭受一场大水灾。
（2）through的意思是“在整个···期间；从头至尾”。例如：

I will read through the novel. 我要把这本小说从头 至尾看一遍。
2. The headquarters of the UN is in New York City. 联合国总部在纽约市。
headquarters 是一个单复同形的名词，意思是“总部，总机构；司令部，指挥部”。这样的词还有means(方法，手段)，works(工厂)，species(种类)，series(系列)，barracks(营房)等，其后
动词的单复数形式取决于这些名词是用作单数，还是用作复数。例如：
A headquarters was set up to direct the battle.建立 了一个司令部来指挥战斗。
The two headquarters are near.那两个总部离得很 近。
The only means to pass exams is to study hard. 通过 考试的唯一办法是努力学习。
All means have been tried out to solve the problem. 为解决这个问题，所有方法都尝试过了。

How many works are there in the city 这城市里有 多少家工厂？
3. The UN Security Council has fifteen members, five of which are permanent members -China, France, Russia, the U.K. and the U.S.联合国安理会有15个 成员国，其中5个为常任理事国——中国、法国、俄罗斯、英国和美国。
of which/whom 常与 some, any, many, few, most, all, either, neither, none 或基数词连用，of表部分关系， 含义为“其中···”。以上不定代词或基数词也可以置于of which/whom之后。例如：

4. It is not always easy for the members to reach an agreement.成员们达成协议不总是容易的。
本句中it是形式主语，实际主语是带逻辑主语的动词不定式 for the members to reach an agreement。
动词不定式的逻辑主语由for引出，这与前面作
表语的形容词有关系。如果前面是表示人的品格的形容词，如kind,clever, foolish, careful,nice等 作表语，则用of引出动词不定式的逻辑主语。例如：
It is kind of you to help me with my English. (=You are kind to help me with my English.)你帮我学英 语太好了。
It was foolish of him to meet her again. (=He was foolish to meet her again.)他跟她再次见面是愚蠢 的。

5. Just imagine how difficult it is to satisfy all 193 members！试请想像一下，让所有193个成员（国）都满意是多么的困滩呀！
just是副词，用于祈使句中的意思是“试请，且请”起加强语气的作用。例如：
Just look at the strange figure!且看那个奇怪的东 西！
Just listen to him!且听他说些什么！ Just a moment!请稍等！
6. Let's hope that the great idea they had in 1945 to prevent war will last forever.让我们期待着他们 1945年想出的阻止战争的理念永远传下去吧。
that 引导 hope 的宾语从句，从句的谓语是willlast。 they had in 1945和 to prevent war 都是 idea 的定语，前者是省略了that的宾语从句，后者是动词不定式。表示“··理念（思想）”，还可用of短语作定语。例如：
Do you understand the general idea of what I said 你明白我的话的大意吗？
My purpose is to get a better idea of education.我的 目的是更好地了解教育。
