1 surprised if, didn't
2 not uncommon
3 Not many
4 wonder whether/if, shouldn't For reference
There are some other patterns which can be used to express negation.
1 too + adjective +to-infinitive
In this pattern too, with the meaning 'very', is used before an adjective. After the adjective, an infinitive is used to mean‘ (somebody) cannot do' or 'something cannot be done'. Sometimes for somebody can be used before the infinitive. Eg.
My father is too old to have such a long journey. (=My father is very old and cannot travel so long.)
She is too happy to say a word at the party. (=She is so happy that she cannot say anything at the party.)
The box is too heavy to carry. (=The box is so heavy that no one can carry it.)
The house is too expensive for us to buy. (=The house is so expensive that we cannot buy it.)
2 few + a countable noun; little +an uncountable noun
When we use few to modify a countable noun, we mean 'not many', and the noun should be in its plural form. When we use little to modify an uncountable noun, we mean 'not much'. And few or little here has the negative meaning. Eg.
Few students in our class have ever read Katherine Mansfield's short stories. (=Not many/Only one or two students in our class have ever read Katherine Mansfield's short stories.)
We have little rain all this summer. (=It almost does not rain during this summer.)
Because few or little has the negative meaning, we do not use the negative form in question tags.
Eg.
Few people liked his painting at that time, did they?
There is little ink in the bottle, is there? ConsolidationI. Multiple choice:

Have you ever been a member of a reading club? What did you do in the reading club?Does our school have a reading club?Are you a member of this club?If you are , what do you think of the club? They might want to join a book club because it provides a place for people with similar interest to find friends easily and share information about their favourite books and authors. In a reading club, people can always learn more.
What kind of activities does a book club usually hold? In a reading club, people read books together and then discuss them. People can share information about books and authors, hold book fairs, write articles about the books they read and do other book-related things.Why might people want to join a book club?People now have more choices about the ways to read books. For example, we can browse online literature websites and read short stories on web pages. Some books are stored as Word files or PDF files on CDs or even posted online. We can use a computer to run the CDs or visit websites and read e-books. We can also store e-books on portable electronic gadgets like a PDA and read the books wherever we go. Recently, some telecommunication
companies have begun providing a service where they send chapters of a book through text messages. That way, people can read books on their mobile phones.Do you think reading books in print is the only way to read? In what other ways can we read?E-books have a lot of advantages. They save a lot of space.
A CD can store many books and it weighs just a few grams so
that it is much easier to carry some CDs than to carry a heavy
suitcase full of books in print when travelling or moving house.
E-books provide people with a more personalized way of
reading as the readers can set the pages, adjust the point size
of the text or change the background colour. Some even
provide a voice fun_ction so that people can ‘read’ their books
by listening. Many people report that they read e-books faster
than books in print. Besides, we can save a lot of trees because
no paper will be used for e-books.

Why?
However, as many other electronic gadgets, e-books have
disadvantages as well. To read e-books, people must first have
an electronic device that can display them. Besides, when
reading e-books, people cannot make notes or comments on
the margin as they can with books in print. More importantly, e-books available online may hurt copyright holders.Science fiction is a genre of literature that uses imaginary stories. The stories talk about things or adventures happening and are usually set in the future, with themes based on scientific theories.What is science fiction?French writer Jules Verne is regarded as the father of science
fiction. He wrote many famous science fiction stories which

Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, Around the
World in Eighty Days, Five Weeks in the Balloon and From
the Earth to the Moon.

Do you think that e-books will replace books in print?Discussion In my opinion, e-books will eventually
replace books in print. E-books have
many advantages over books in print. First of all, they are much easier to carry. We can take many of our favourite books on a CD-ROM (or several) when travelling, while even one book in print may add too much weight to our suitcase. Besides, reading becomes easier on e-books as we can set point size of text and the paper size to what is most comfortable for us. In addition, storing e-books is much easier. You may put all the books on your bookcase in just one CD and you don’t have to worry that the humid air may destroy the books. Of course, it may be quite a long time before e-books replace books in print.What are some of the differences between poetry and science fiction books?Discussion In my opinion, there are many
differences between poetry and
science fiction. To begin with, poetry uses much more concise language and special writing techniques like rhythm and rhyme. Next, poets often express their thoughts and feelings in poems, while science fiction writers often tell what may be possible in the future based on developments in science. Lastly, poems usually reflect life or society at specific times, while the main topics of science fiction books range from scientific discoveries, space travel, life on other planets, space travel, life on other planets to environmental changes.
Poetry
Poetry is a popular art form, which emphasizes rhythm, sound and imagery. Poems usually use language set up in lines, with a regular rhythm and often a definite rhyme scheme. Poets usually express their strong feelings through this art form.
Science fiction stories
Science fiction stories often show what may be
possible in the far future based on what we can
already observe today. A popular theme of
science fiction is what society might look like in
the future. Scientific discoveries, space travel,
life on other planets and environmental changes
also are often discussed in science fiction stories.

New Zealand's most famous writer, who was closely associated with D.H. Lawrence and something of a rival of Virginia Wolf. Mansfield's creative years were burdened with loneliness, illness, jealousy, alienation - all this reflected in her work with the bitter depiction of marital and family relationships of her middle-class characters. Her short stories are also notable for their use of stream of consciousness. Like the Russian writer Anton Chekhov, Mansfield depicted trivial events and subtle changes in human behavior.

Robert BurnsRobert Burns罗伯特·彭斯(Robert Burns, 1759-1796)，??苏格兰诗人。 1759年1月25日生于苏格兰高原的一个农民家庭，家庭经济拮据。他自幼爱好诗歌。1786年出版了《苏格兰方言主写的诗集》（Poems Chiefly in Scottish Dialect）。他的诗歌内容多种多样，多以苏格兰方言写成，抒发了这位伟大的诗人对他的家乡和大自然的热爱之情，并歌颂友谊与爱情。1796年于贫病交加中辞逝。然而生活的困顿并不是他的作品给人的主要印象。他的作品充满了对现实生活的热爱，表现苏格兰农村生活场景和诗人所追求的自由平等思想。彭斯的诗作主要以民歌为本，写了大量情诗，涉及爱情的各种变化，名篇诗作有《一朵红红的玫瑰》（A Red Red Rose），《我亲爱的约翰·安德森》（John Anderson, My Jo），《我心在高地》（My Heart’s in the Highland）等。现在传唱的《友谊地久天长》（Auld Lang Syne）的歌词就是取自这位诗人的诗作。Read the report on the poetry of Robert Burns, Skim for the main idea of this article and tell how it is organized.
