a But it is vital not to take any chances.
b But not to take any chances is vital.
c It is important to remember that Ebola doesn't respect national boundaries.
d To remember that Ebola doesn't respect national boundaries is important.
1.What does “it” refer to in sentences (a) and (c)

“It” refers to “to remember that Ebola doesn’t respect national boundaries” in sentence (c).
Look at the sentences and answer the questions. Sentence (a) and Sentence (c) is from the reading passage.
a But it is vital not to take any chances.
b But not to take any chances is vital.
c It is important to remember that Ebola doesn't respect national boundaries.
d To remember that Ebola doesn't respect national boundaries is important.
2.What is the difference between the sentences in each group Why does the author choose to use sentences (a) and (c) instead of (b) and (d)
The first sentences in each group use "it" as an empty subject at the beginning of the sentences. The reason why sentences (a) and (c) are chosen is that the sentences are kept balanced and the key information of the sentences is emphasised.
Grammer
It as an empty subject—it 作形式主语
当主语部分相对于谓语部分而言太长时，常把主语部分移到句尾，在主语的位置放上it。
it 没有具体的意义,仅用于使句子显得平稳，不头重脚轻。
it 作形式主语时常代替三种语法结构：不定式(短语)、v-ing(短语) 和从句。
Grammer
1. it 代替不定式(短语)作形式主语
it 代替不定式(短语)作形式主语的常见句型:
It+be +形容词 +(for/of sb.)to do sth
It + be + 名词 + to do sth.
It takes sb.some time to do sth.
It's up to sb. to do sth.
It is difficult for a foreigner to learn Chinese. 外国人学习汉语不容易。
(It作形式主语，代替不定式复合结构foraforeigner to leamn Chinese.)
It is everyone's duty to obey the law. 遵守法律是每个人的义务
(It作形式主语，代替不定式短语 to obey the law)
Grammer
辨析：
"It +be+形容词 +for sb. to do sth."与'It+be+形容词 +of sb. to do sth."
如果形容词描述的是人的品质、品格,介词用 of;
如果形容词描述不定式所表示动作的特征,介词用for。
It's important for us to learn English well.
学好英语对我们来说很重要。
It‘s kind of you to help me.
感谢你帮助我。
Grammer
2. it 代替 v-ing (短语) 作形式主语
it 代替 v-ing(短语)作形式主语的情况远不及it 代替不定式（短语）作形式主语那么普遍。

如果你不会开车,有车也没用。

Rewrite the underlined parts using it as an empty subject.
According to the "2017 Hollywood Diversity Report", to get roles in American film and television is no longer quite so difficult for women and minorities. This is another small but important advance against gender and racial discrimination.
The report analysed 200 films released in 2015 and 1,206 TV shows from 2014 to 2015, and discovered that to become a leading actor in Hollywood is now a more realistic hope for minority actors.
It is no longer quite so difficult for women and minorities to get roles in American film and television.
It is now a more realistic hope for minority actors to become a leading actor in Hollywood.
Rewrite the underlined parts using it as an empty subject.
In more good news, to write and direct Hollywood films is more common than before for women.
The bad news is that there is still a long way to go. Leading roles are more likely to be given to white actors. Asian American actors, in particular, still face problems. Even now, to cast white actors as Asian characters is seen as acceptable by film studios. But at least the report shows that things are moving slowly in the right direction.

Read the passage and answer the questions. Pay attention to the expressions in bold.
Nowadays, people all over the world are becoming more and more connected, as if the world were getting smaller—as if we were living in a “global village”.
Technology is largely responsible for bringing people together. Channels of communication, such as the mobile phone and the Internet, have made it possible to speak instantly with someone on the other side of the planet, enabling us to form close connections with people of completely different cultures. The television, meanwhile, is a window on the world, giving us quick and easy access to other cultures and lifestyles.
Cultural exchange helps us to be more inclusive and to overcome culture shock. But inclusiveness doesn’t mean that our cultures will merge into one another. Rather, it’s about countries and people making a joint effort to come together to create a more harmonious and understanding world, so that we can all enjoy the mutual benefits.
Read the passage and answer the questions. Pay attention to the expressions in bold.
1.What phenomenon does the passage describe
2.What effect does technology have on cultural exchange
It describes the phenomenon of the “global village” as related to the promotion of technological and cultural exchange.
Technology enables us to form close connections with people of completely different cultures and gives us quick and easy access to other cultures and lifestyles.
Complete the letter with the correct form of the expressions in Activity 5.

Throughout, we made 3_______________ to make our classes a success, so that we could all enjoy the 4______________ of working well together. It was rewarding to see how our work helped 5_____________________ from different cultures. Before I went, TV and the Internet were my 6______________________, but being there in person was even better.

Channels of communication, such as the mobile phone and the Internet, have made it possible to speak instantly with someone on the other side of the planet, enabling us to form close connections with people of completely different cultures. The television, meanwhile, is a window on the world, giving us quick and easy access to other cultures and lifestyles.
Cultural exchange helps us to be more inclusive and to overcome culture shock. But inclusiveness doesn’t mean that our cultures will merge into one another. Rather, it’s about countries and people making a joint effort to come together to create a more harmonious and understanding world, so that we can all enjoy the mutual benefits.
