e.g. May别无选择只能向别人求助。
May had no choice but to ask others for help.
② Then I sometimes find it hard to stay awake the next day.
find it … to do sth. 发现做某事……
it为形式宾语，真正的宾语是to do sth.。

hardly adv. 几乎不（否定词）它常和can、could等连用，在句中位于动词be、情态动词或助动词之后、行为动词之前。

hardly是副词，意为“几乎不”，含有否定意义，它并不是hard的副词形式。
④ I often doubt whether it is worth spending so much time on homework.
