课前热身 Warming up
Two humors for you to enjoy:
Humor 1
When Nasreddin was a boy, he never did what he was told, so his father always told him to do the opposite of what he wanted him to do.
One day, when the two were bringing sacks of flour home on their donkeys, they had to cross a shallow river. When they were in the middle of it, one of the sacks on Nasreddin's donkey began to slip, so his father said, 'That sack is nearly in the water! Press down hard on it!'
His father of course expected that he would do the opposite, but this time Nasreddin did what his father had told him to do. He pressed down on the sack and it went under the water. Of course, the flour was lost.
'What have you done, Nasreddin ' his father shouted angrily.
'Well, Father', said Nasreddin, 'this time I thought that I would do just what you told me, to show you how stupid your orders always are.'
Humor 2
Some of Nasreddin's old friends were talking about the young people in their town. They all agreed that old people were wiser than young people. Then one of the old men said, 'But young men are stronger than old men.'
All of them agreed that this was true, except Nasreddin. He said, 'No. I am as strong now as when I was a young man.'
'What do you mean ' said his friends. 'How is that possible Explain yourself!'
'Well,' said Nasreddin, 'in one corner of my field there is a rock. When I was a young man I used to try to move it, but I couldn't because I was not strong enough. I am an old man now, and when I try to move it ,I still cannot.'
读写指导 Instructions for reading and writing
Reading: Laughing Matter
The passage contains 5 paragraphs, forming 4 parts in all, each of which tells us about a kind of laughing matter.
Part 1. The first laughing matter----- Comedies, including word plays and funny plays. In a funny play, the actors make us laugh by making fun of one’s way of dressing or telling an amusing story.
Patr 2. The second laughing matter----- Clowns, which make people laugh by their strange cloths, make-up and the way they walk.
Part 3. The third type of laughing matter is the comedians, who often make people laugh by using the words in a sketch , making people think about life.
Part 4. The fourth laughing matter is the crosstalk, which is typical for China. Skilled actors make people laugh loud by their spolen language, rhthm and rhyming words as well as tongue twisters.
Writing: How to write a narration (怎样写记叙文)
记叙文是以叙述、描写为主要手段的文体。一般分为三类，即记人、记事和写景为主的记叙文。写作时要注意以下几点：
1） 人、事、地、时要交待清楚。
2） 事件发生的先后顺序要完整、具体。
3） 重点要突出，目的要明确。在写作时，人物、事件和景色不是孤立的，它们往往交织在一起，不可拆分。这就要求我们写时要有侧重、要突出重点，万万不客人“均分天下”。
4） 人称、时态、用词要做到正确把握。用第一人称写自己的亲身经历；用第三人称叙述别人所发生的事，一般都要使用过去时态。
[例文精析]
[要求] Write a funny story or a joke in English
[例文] A Memory of My Childhood
One day,when I was six years old, my aunr came to see us from Shanghai. My parents and brother happened to be out then. My aunr frlt tired. I asked her to sit down and have a rest.
“Where are your daddy and mummy,my dear ” asked aunt.
“They have gone shopping and will be back in an hour. I’ll fetch acup of tea for you, aunt.”
When I went into the kitchen, a good idea came into my mind: After a long journey my aunt must be very hungry. I’ll give her a cup of milk instead of a cup of tea.
When I opened the cupboard, I saw a bottle of “milk” powder in it. I poured a cup of the “milk” and gave it to my aunt.
“Thank you very much. It’s very kind of you”, she said,
“ Please taste the milk, has it enough sugar ”
My aunt took a sip of the “milk” and split it out at once.
“ What is it, Ranran ” she asked in surprise.
“It’s milk.” I said loudly and proudly.
“But it doesn’t taste like milk. Where did you get it ”
I took aunt into the kitchen and showed the bottle to her. Oh, it turned out to be a bottle of washing powder!
In the evening my parents came back. When they heard what I did, my mother said to me with a smile, “ you are great. You’ve learned to entertain guests without us.”
Several years have passed. Now I am a middle shool student. Every time my parents repeat the story, we had a good laugh over it.
[讲评]这是一篇学生习作。全文结构严谨、叙述干净利落，毫不拖泥带水；行文流畅、生动，给人印象深刻。其最大的特点有以下两个：
1） 动词使用生动、准确。例如：
(1) I’ll fetch a cup of tea for you, aunt.
fetch 意思是go to take …and return, 一词顶三词。
（2）My aunt took a sip of the “milk”and spilt it out.
(3 ) I took aunt into the kitchen and showed the bottle to her.
(4 ) Oh, it turned out to be a bottle of…
2) 时态应用规范：讲述过去发生的事情，用了一般过去时态；最后说现在的情况，作者使用了一般现在时态。尤其是这一句“Every time my parents repeat the story, we had a good laugh over it.” 时态比较难用，要仔细考虑。

"All great discoveries," He said, "are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and 19 .”Being a little over thirty myself I more or less disagreed with him. 20 wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery. The next day I happened to be in the public library and spent several hours 21 the ages of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.
First I looked at some of the 22 discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different 23 fall at the same speed, was 24 by Galileo when he was twenty-six. Madame Curie started her research that 25 to a Nobel Prize when she was twenty-eight. Einstein was twenty-six 26 he published his world-changing theory of relativity. Well, 27 of that. 28 I wondered if those "best years" were true in other 29 .
Then how about the field of 30 Surely it 31 the wisdom of age to make a good leader. Perhaps it 32 ,but look 33 these people started their careers(事业). Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of twenty-six. Abraham Lincoln 34 the life of a country lawyer and was elected to the government 35 what age Twenty-six.
But why don’t best years come after thirty After thirty, I guess, 36 people do not want to take risks(风险) or try 37 way. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former(前者)was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, 38 the latter was still trying new ways of 39 when he was ninety!
Perhaps there is still 40 for me.

Women earn less than men. For example, in 1988 the hourly wages of women in the U.S. were 16% less than those of men. The gap between male and female incomes varies (变化)with age. The gap between the labor incomes of young women and young men is much smaller than that between middle-aged women and men. It is also clear that jobs in which women are concentrated (集中) pay less. The larger the number of workers who are women is, the lower the average wages are.
Why do women earn less than men Is the cause of the gap that women are looked down upon If so, the government has to intervene (干涉), to force the employers to pay equal wages to equal jobs. However, there is no agreement among economists (经济学家) about the causes of the gap. One view argues that women have chosen low-paying jobs in which workers enjoy the freedom of entering and leaving the labor, which reduces their years of experience relative to men. Other people say the gap can also be explained by the difference in educational background. It is just the difference that cause the difference in productivity between men and women.
Much of the gap, however, has not been fully explained. It might be the result of some bias against women. What would happen if the government did intervene to increase the wages paid to women One possibility is that incomes for women as a group might actually decline (下降). An increase in wage decreases the demanded (被需求的) quantity of labor input, and then the rate of hiring new workers declines. The result will be a surplus of labor.
46.The difference is not very obvious between __________.
A. young men and young women
B. middle-aged men and middle-aged women
C. young men and middle-aged women
D. young women and middle-aged men
47.Some economists believe women earn less than men partly because _________.
A. women are less experienced than men
B. women have more freedom in selecting their jobs
C. there are more women than men in the labor
D. they are only provided with low-paying jobs
48.Which of the following cannot be inferred from the second paragraph
A. Women receive less education than men.
B. Goods produced by women are not as good as those by men.
C. Women can' t make the same productivity as men.
D. Economists don' t think the causes of the gap are women' s being looked down upon.
49.What does author suggest that for the women workers the government should do
A. To pay as much as men.
B. To explain why women are paid less.
C. To force employers to hire less men.

课前热身 Warming up
Two humors for you to enjoy:
Humor 1
When Nasreddin was a boy, he never did what he was told, so his father always told him to do the opposite of what he wanted him to do.
One day, when the two were bringing sacks of flour home on their donkeys, they had to cross a shallow river. When they were in the middle of it, one of the sacks on Nasreddin's donkey began to slip, so his father said, 'That sack is nearly in the water! Press down hard on it!'
His father of course expected that he would do the opposite, but this time Nasreddin did what his father had told him to do. He pressed down on the sack and it went under the water. Of course, the flour was lost.
'What have you done, Nasreddin ' his father shouted angrily.
'Well, Father', said Nasreddin, 'this time I thought that I would do just what you told me, to show you how stupid your orders always are.'
Humor 2
Some of Nasreddin's old friends were talking about the young people in their town. They all agreed that old people were wiser than young people. Then one of the old men said, 'But young men are stronger than old men.'
All of them agreed that this was true, except Nasreddin. He said, 'No. I am as strong now as when I was a young man.'
'What do you mean ' said his friends. 'How is that possible Explain yourself!'
'Well,' said Nasreddin, 'in one corner of my field there is a rock. When I was a young man I used to try to move it, but I couldn't because I was not strong enough. I am an old man now, and when I try to move it ,I still cannot.'

Reading: Laughing Matter
The passage contains 5 paragraphs, forming 4 parts in all, each of which tells us about a kind of laughing matter.
Part 1. The first laughing matter----- Comedies, including word plays and funny plays. In a funny play, the actors make us laugh by making fun of one’s way of dressing or telling an amusing story.
Patr 2. The second laughing matter----- Clowns, which make people laugh by their strange cloths, make-up and the way they walk.
Part 3. The third type of laughing matter is the comedians, who often make people laugh by using the words in a sketch , making people think about life.
Part 4. The fourth laughing matter is the crosstalk, which is typical for China. Skilled actors make people laugh loud by their spolen language, rhthm and rhyming words as well as tongue twisters.
Writing: How to write a narration (怎样写记叙文)
记叙文是以叙述、描写为主要手段的文体。一般分为三类，即记人、记事和写景为主的记叙文。写作时要注意以下几点：
1） 人、事、地、时要交待清楚。
2） 事件发生的先后顺序要完整、具体。
3） 重点要突出，目的要明确。在写作时，人物、事件和景色不是孤立的，它们往往交织在一起，不可拆分。这就要求我们写时要有侧重、要突出重点，万万不客人“均分天下”。
4） 人称、时态、用词要做到正确把握。用第一人称写自己的亲身经历；用第三人称叙述别人所发生的事，一般都要使用过去时态。
[例文精析]
[要求] Write a funny story or a joke in English
[例文] A Memory of My Childhood
One day,when I was six years old, my aunr came to see us from Shanghai. My parents and brother happened to be out then. My aunr frlt tired. I asked her to sit down and have a rest.
“Where are your daddy and mummy,my dear ” asked aunt.
“They have gone shopping and will be back in an hour. I’ll fetch acup of tea for you, aunt.”
When I went into the kitchen, a good idea came into my mind: After a long journey my aunt must be very hungry. I’ll give her a cup of milk instead of a cup of tea.
When I opened the cupboard, I saw a bottle of “milk” powder in it. I poured a cup of the “milk” and gave it to my aunt.
“Thank you very much. It’s very kind of you”, she said,
“ Please taste the milk, has it enough sugar ”
My aunt took a sip of the “milk” and split it out at once.
“ What is it, Ranran ” she asked in surprise.
“It’s milk.” I said loudly and proudly.
“But it doesn’t taste like milk. Where did you get it ”
I took aunt into the kitchen and showed the bottle to her. Oh, it turned out to be a bottle of washing powder!
In the evening my parents came back. When they heard what I did, my mother said to me with a smile, “ you are great. You’ve learned to entertain guests without us.”
Several years have passed. Now I am a middle shool student. Every time my parents repeat the story, we had a good laugh over it.
[讲评]这是一篇学生习作。全文结构严谨、叙述干净利落，毫不拖泥带水；行文流畅、生动，给人印象深刻。其最大的特点有以下两个：
1） 动词使用生动、准确。例如：
(1) I’ll fetch a cup of tea for you, aunt.
fetch 意思是go to take …and return, 一词顶三词。
（2）My aunt took a sip of the “milk”and spilt it out.
(3 ) I took aunt into the kitchen and showed the bottle to her.
(4 ) Oh, it turned out to be a bottle of…
2) 时态应用规范：讲述过去发生的事情，用了一般过去时态；最后说现在的情况，作者使用了一般现在时态。尤其是这一句“Every time my parents repeat the story, we had a good laugh over it.” 时态比较难用，要仔细考虑。

The working people have played a great role in the activity.
工人在这次活动中起主要作用。

[注2] 动名词在句中也可以作定语，判断是分词还是动名词，可以根据它们和被修饰词有无逻辑上的主谓关系来判断， 有主谓关系的是分词，否则判断为动名词。如：
a swimming girl 游泳的女孩。（分词）
a swimming pool 游泳的池子 （动名词）
2．分词作宾语补足语
可以跟分词作宾语补足语的谓语动词有 see, watch, hear, set, keep, find, have, get，send，leave，observe，notice，catch，find，listen to，look at等词；但是使役动词make一般不跟现在分词作宾补，但像完全形容词化的interesting除外。如：

Women earn less than men. For example, in 1988 the hourly wages of women in the U.S. were 16% less than those of men. The gap between male and female incomes varies (变化)with age. The gap between the labor incomes of young women and young men is much smaller than that between middle-aged women and men. It is also clear that jobs in which women are concentrated (集中) pay less. The larger the number of workers who are women is, the lower the average wages are.
Why do women earn less than men Is the cause of the gap that women are looked down upon If so, the government has to intervene (干涉), to force the employers to pay equal wages to equal jobs. However, there is no agreement among economists (经济学家) about the causes of the gap. One view argues that women have chosen low-paying jobs in which workers enjoy the freedom of entering and leaving the labor, which reduces their years of experience relative to men. Other people say the gap can also be explained by the difference in educational background. It is just the difference that cause the difference in productivity between men and women.
Much of the gap, however, has not been fully explained. It might be the result of some bias against women. What would happen if the government did intervene to increase the wages paid to women One possibility is that incomes for women as a group might actually decline (下降). An increase in wage decreases the demanded (被需求的) quantity of labor input, and then the rate of hiring new workers declines. The result will be a surplus of labor.
46.The difference is not very obvious between __________.
A. young men and young women
B. middle-aged men and middle-aged women
C. young men and middle-aged women
D. young women and middle-aged men
47.Some economists believe women earn less than men partly because _________.
A. women are less experienced than men
B. women have more freedom in selecting their jobs
C. there are more women than men in the labor
D. they are only provided with low-paying jobs
48.Which of the following cannot be inferred from the second paragraph
A. Women receive less education than men.
B. Goods produced by women are not as good as those by men.
C. Women can' t make the same productivity as men.
D. Economists don' t think the causes of the gap are women' s being looked down upon.
49.What does author suggest that for the women workers the government should do
A. To pay as much as men.
B. To explain why women are paid less.
C. To force employers to hire less men.
D. None of the above.
50.What would happen if women's wages were raised
A. The unemployment rate would go up.
B. Women as a group would earn more than before.
C. Men as a group would earn less than before.
D. The women would own more money than men.
