五.语法应用
一般现在时和现在进行时的区别
一般现在时和现在进行时是两种重要时态,通过对这两种时态进行对比我们可以更加牢固地掌握它们的用法。我们可以从以下三个方面进行对比:一、基本用法;二、谓语动词的形式;三、时间状语。
一、基本用法
一般现在时一般用来表示人或物经常性或习惯性的动作或状态,也可以用来表示人或物现在的状态或者用来表示主语现在具有的性格或能力等。现在进行时则一般用来表示现在(说话的瞬间 ) 正在发生或进行的动作或者用来表示现阶段正在进行或发生的动作
二、谓语动词的形式不同
一般现在时的谓语动词为:1.be动词用am / is / are这三种形式; 2.实义动词用动词原形或第三人称单数形式。
现在进行时谓语动词的形式为:be(am, is, are) + 实义动词的 -ing 形式。
这两种时态的否定句和一般疑问句的变法也不同:在一般现在时中,含be动词的句子变否定句直接在be(am, is, are)后加not,变一般疑问句是直接将be(am, is, are)提到句首;含实义动词的句子变否定句和一般疑问句必须借助于助动词do 或does。而现在进行时的句子变否定句则直接在be(am, is, are)后面加 not;变一般疑问句是把 be(am, is, are)提到句首。
三、时间状语
一般现在时常与often, sometimes, always, usually等频度副词和every morning / day / week, on Wednesday, on Sundays, in the morning / afternoon / evening等时间状语连用。
现在进行时常与now, these days, at this moment等时间状语连用。句首有 Look! / Listen! 等提示语时,后面的句子也要用现在进行时。
现在完成时和现在完成进行时的区别
1)现在完成进行时更强调动作的延续性,它是现在完成时的强调形式
2)在不用时间状语的情况下,现在完成进行时表示动作仍在进行。而现在完成时则表示动作在过去已结束。
3)有些表示状态,感情,感觉的动词如:have, exist, like, hate, hear, know, sound等动词不能用于现在完成进行时,但可用于现在完成时。

八.Reading strategy
Guessing the meaning of a word from the context
When reading a text that contains many new words, try not to look up each new one. Instead, try to guess the meanings of unfamiliar words from the context. To do this, you can read the sentences before and after the one containing the new word. Often , the author will give the meanings of difficult or technical vocabulary surrounding it, eg. ‘prop comedians uses things, called props, to tell the jokes.’ ‘you can try to look at the words around an unknown word, and see if the sentence makes sense. Looking at the words ‘routine’ makes it easier to understand that routine here means something like performance.

Laughter, along with an active ___1____ of humor, may help protect you against a heart attack, according to a recent ___2____ by cardiologists at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore. The study, which is the first to indicate that laughter may help____3_ heart disease, found that people with heart disease were 40 percent less ___4___ to laugh in a variety of situations compared to people of the same age without heart disease.
"The old ___5____ that 'laughter is the best medicine,' definitely appears to be true when it ____6___ to protecting your heart," says Michael Miller, M.D., director of the Center for Preventive Cardiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center and associate professor of medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. "We don't know yet___7___ laughing protects the heart, but we know that mental stress is associated with impairment of the endothelium, the protective barrier lining our blood vessels. This can cause a series of inflammatory reactions that__8____ to fat and cholesterol build-up in the coronary arteries and ultimately to a heart attack."
In the study, researchers compared the humor responses of 300 people. Half of the participants had either ___9_____ a heart attack or undergone coronary artery bypass surgery. The other 150 did not have heart disease. One questionnaire had a series of multiple-choice answers to find out how much or how __10__ people laughed in certain situations, and the second one used true or false answers to measure anger and hostility.
Miller said that the most significant study finding was that "people with heart disease responded less humorously to everyday life situations." They generally laughed less, even in positive situations, and they displayed more anger and hostility.
"The ability to laugh—either naturally or as learned behavior -- may have important implications in societies such as the U.S. where heart disease remains the number one killer," says Miller. "We know that exercising, not smoking and eating foods low in saturated fat will reduce the risk of heart disease. Perhaps regular, hearty laughter should be added to the list."
Miller says it may be possible to incorporate laughter into our daily activities, just as we do with other heart-healthy activities, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator. "We could perhaps read something humorous or watch a funny video and try to find ways to take ourselves less seriously," Miller says. "The recommendation for a healthy heart may one day be exercise, eat right and laugh a few times a day."
