Step 5
Work in pairs. Discuss the questions.
1 What do you think this fable is trying to tell us Do you think the king was wise Why or why not
The moral of the story is that we should all take responsibility for our community. I don’t think that the king was very wise，however，because no one learnt anything from his experiment. The milkman，the woman with her water pot，and the other villagers continued on their travels without having changed their attitudes at all. The king did find one responsible young girl，but she was already a responsible person before she encountered the stone in the road.
Step 5
Work in pairs. Discuss the questions.
2 Can you think of times in your own life when you felt and acted like the girl or like the other people in the story Give examples.
There have been times when I have acted responsibly like the girl in the story. For example，I recently saw some children playing on a dangerous balcony，so I warned them it was dangerous and had them go somewhere else to play. However，often I’m more like the milkman in the story because I’m very busy with my own work and worries.
Step 6
Write a review of the fable.
The main purpose of a review is to give your opinion about a piece of writing. You should first give a short description of the writing，and then clearly state your opinion and your reasons.
Useful expressions and structures
Paragraph 1
The story is about … The author writes about …
Paragraph 2
The author is using the story to … The author has done a good job in …
The author tries to … but …
Paragraph 3
I like the story because … What impresses me most is that …
I’m not sure whether … but… I would love to share the story with …
“The Stone in the Road” is an old fable about a king who thinks his people are lazy，so he puts a large stone in the middle of the road and hides and waits to see if anyone will try to move it.
The author used this story to impress upon readers the need to take personal responsibility for problems in the community. The story was quite successful in achieving its purpose，and I liked it because it had a clear moral.
However，while the moral of the story is clear，the actions of the king seemed pointless to me，because none of the characters in the story learnt anything. For this reason，I think there are better stories that can be used to impress upon people the need for personal responsibility.

重点句式
教材原句p.20 After a while，a group of women came along， each balancing a pot of water on her head. 过了一会儿，一群女人走了过来，每人头上都顶着一罐水。
【句式分析】句中的each balancing a pot of water on her head 是“代词+ v. -ing”构成的独立主格结构。其中each 是逻辑主语，即动作的发出者。
1 独立主格结构
（1）独立主格的构成：名词/ 代词+ 现在分词/ 过去分词/ 不定式/ 形容词/ 副词/ 介词短语。（2）作用：在句中充当时间、原因、条件、方式或伴随状语。
The girl staring at him，he didn’t know what to say.
姑娘盯着他看，他不知道该说什么。（表时间）
The problems solved，the quality has been improved. 问题解决了，质量已经提高了。（表时间）

没有别的事了，我宣布散会。（表原因）
【学法点拨】
（1）特点：逻辑主语与句子的主语不同，一般用逗号与句子的其他部分隔开。
（2）“there + being”结构
这种结构多放在句首，常表示原因，其中being 不可省略。
单句语法填空
（1）［词汇复现］Time （permit），I’ll assist you in cleaning the kitchen.
（2） Her glasses （break），she couldn’t see the words on the blackboard.

permitting

The old man sat in his chair，his eyes closed.
教材原句p.20 Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road. 她和她的朋友们都没有想过把石头从道路中间挪开。
【句式分析】neither A nor B 在句中连接并列主语，表示“两者都不”。
2 neither...nor 既不……也不
The ground must be just right neither too wet nor too dry.
地面必须恰到好处，既不太湿也不太干。
Neither could theory do without practice，nor could practice do without theory.
理论没有实践不行，实践没有理论也不行。（倒装）
【归纳拓展】
（1）neither...nor...是并列连词，可以连接并列成分，当连接主语时，谓语动词的单复数遵循“就近原则”。
（2）neither... nor... 也可以连接句子，但需要用部分倒装语序。
I neither like singing，nor do I like swimming. 我既不喜欢唱歌，也不喜欢游泳。
【学法点拨】
类似遵循“就近原则”的结构还有：
either... or...；not only... but also...；not... but...；there/here be...

不仅学生而且老师都在欣赏这部电影。
