Explanation of difficult sentences

seem连系动词,似乎,好像
1)seem + (to be ) + adj./n.
2)seem + to do
3)seem + like + n.
4)It seems/seemed (to sb.) + that-clause如:Our English teacher seems to be a kind man. He seems to know everything = It seems that he knows everything. It seems like years since we last met. It seems that I have seen her before. = I seem to have seen her before.
2. Everywhere they looked nearly everything was destroyed.人们无论朝哪里看,几乎一切都被毁了。
everywhere 用作连词,等于wherever, no matter where,引起让步状语从句。如:Everywhere I go, I find the same thing.无论我去哪儿,我都看到一样的东西。You see it everywhere you look.无论你往哪儿看,你都会看到它。
3. …90% of its homes were gone. 90%的家都不存在了。

Dear Bob,
It’s very kind of you to write to me and let me know about your beautiful city. Now I’d like to tell you something about my hometown Hui Zhou.
The city stands on the bank of the Xi Zhi River. It is a beautiful place for people to live in. Its economy has been developing rapidly in the past ten years. New factories, houses and roads have been built. More schools and hospitals are available for its people. However, there are still some problems, such as water and air pollution and heavy traffic in rush hours. In my opinion, Hui Zhou should develop its economy scientifically. I would also think that the growth of its population should be brought under control so that we’ll have a better hometown in future.
Yours,
Xiao Hua

How does television affect our lives? It can be helpful to those who carefully choose the programs that they watch and harmful to those who watch it too much.
In China, many people worry that children and young people are watching too much television. A survey of 300 youngsters in Shanghai last year showed that, on average,they spent half of their free time,that is two and a half hours watching television. And two-thirds of an hour reading stories. Another survey of school-age children in Wuhan found that half of them said they read very little.
During the Barcelona Olympic Games, tens of millions of Chinese viewers stayed up late to watch the opening ceremonies and other programs.

A recent survey in Beijing found that 63% of those surveyed got their news from television through CCTV and TV stations.I. Words for reading

四、阅读理解
A
Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experi ment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.
Opposite to what many people believe, if you don't eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
56. During the test, those who were tested were given ________.
A. no breakfast at all
B. very rich breakfast
C. little food for breakfast
D. different breakfast or none
57. The results of the test show that ________.
A. breakfast has great effect on work and studies
B. breakfast has little to do with a person s work

D. those working with brains should have much for breakfast
58. The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don't eat breakfast, you will _________.
A. lose weight B. not lose weight

A. Poor breakfasts affect those who work with brains.
B. Morning diet may cause one to get fatter.

Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly Have you ever bought something just be cause the salesman talked you into it Many people are afraid to support themselves. Dr Robert Albert, author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back thinks it' s because their self-respect is low. "There's always a' superior' around--- parent, a teacher, a boss---ho knows better."
But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people help themselves. They offer "assertiveness training" courses A.T. for short. In the A.T. Course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting other people.
In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear. A group taking an A.T. Course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But A.T. uses an even stronger motive--- he need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect. If someone you face is more "important" than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your answers to problems. You can get to feel good about your self. And once you do you can learn to speak out.
