Think & Share
1 Do you agree that "happiness comes from things like money"
Why or why not
To better understand others' views, you can relate them to your own experience, then give your own opinion on the topic.
I don't entirely agree. While money can provide certain comforts and opportunities that contribute to a sense of well-being, true happiness stems from deeper aspects like fulfilling relationships, personal growth, and a sense of purpose. Money alone can't fulfill our emotional and spiritual needs that are crucial for genuine happiness.

Think & Share
2 What do you think the words of Oscar Wilde in the last
paragraph of the passage mean
"Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden….”
The sentence uses a figurative figure of speech(比喻的修辞手法), comparing the heart to a garden and love to the sun, illustrating the importance of love - if life lacks love, it will be as dead as a garden without sunshine.
Language points
1. Poor in things, rich in love 于物贫瘠，于爱富足
该标题使用了对比的修辞手法，poor和rich这对反义词分别用来形容代表物质的things和代表精神的love, 使两者之间差异鲜明。
2. I put down Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
我放下《查理和巧克力工厂》这本书。
put down 放下; 镇压
e.g. The army put down the rebellion. 军队镇压了叛乱。
【拓展】put 的相关短语：
put on 穿上；戴上
put off 推迟；拖延；使反感；使失去兴趣
put out 熄灭；扑灭；伸出；生产；出版
put up 建造；搭建；张贴；举起；提供住宿
put forward 提出(建议、计划等); 将…… 提前;推举
put away 把…… 收起来；放好；储存
3.But I kept going over the exciting story in my mind.
脑海中却不断回想着那个激动人心的故事。
(1) keep doing sth 意为“继续做某事，重复做某事”。
e.g. You have to keep practising your spoken English if you
want to get good at it.。
(2)go over sth在句中可以意为“仔细考虑某事”。
e.g. She had gone over and over what happened in her mind.
此外，go over sth也意为“仔细搜查(检查)某物；重复某事，练习某事"。
e.g. Could you go over this report and correct any mistake
e.g. Once again he went over exactly what he needed to say.
4. In winter, the freezing wind swept across the floor all night long.
冬天的夜里，寒风一阵阵扫过地板。
(1) sweep across 表示“迅速而全面地穿过或扫过”, 常用来
描述风、雨、火等或者思想、情绪的快速传播。
e.g. The storm swept across the town.
e.g. Excitement swept across the crowd when the team won
the game.
