Healthy Habits, Healthy Body
Feeling tired lately? Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.
Then, consider this:you might be in a state of subhealth (亚健康).
Subhealth, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease.
According to the investigation (调查研究) by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam time.
Symptoms (征兆) include a lack of energy, depression (压抑), slow reactions, insomnia (失眠), agitation (焦虑), and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.
The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open-air activities.
As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should eat more fresh vegetables, fruit and fish because they are rich in nutritional (营养的) elements—vitamins and trace elements (微量元素)—that are important to the body.
Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract (消化道). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.
1. According to this passage, which of the following is right?
A. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should stay home and keep silent.
B. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicine.
C. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should have yourself examined in foreign countries.
D. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should find out the reasons and relax yourself.
2. Middle-aged people may be easy to feel subhealthy because________.
A. they have used to their energy
B. they have lost their living hopes
C. they have more pressure in life and work
D. they begin to get older
3. As for food, experts suggested that________.
A. we should never eat meat
B. we should have meals with less salt and sugar
C. we should eat less than usual
D. we should have meals without salt or sugar
4. The underlined word “alternate” in the sixth paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. arrange by turns B. cause to take place
C. keep up D. take up
Sleep Struggle
One in every five young people has a sleep problem, so you’re not alone. Getting enough sleep has become as important as eating vegetables and exercising regularly. It’s very important for your body.
Most young people only get seven hours of sleep each night, when they actually need nine hours. And making up for lost sleep during the week by sleeping on weekends doesn’t really work. In fact, sleeping late on weekends may actually do you more harm than good, if you have sleep problems.
What happens if you don’t get enough sleep? If your sleep problem continues for a few nights, you could suffer serious problems. Lack of sleep can affect learning and memory. Worse, if your sleep difficulties last a long time, that could lead to anxiety or depression (抑郁). Therefore, you’ve got to have some healthy sleep habits. Below are some suggestions:
?GO TO BED AT THE SAME TIME—including weekends, if possible.
?WAKE UP AROUND THE SAME TIME EVERY MORNING. When you sleep late just one morning during the week, it may disturb your body clock. This will make it hard for you to sleep that night.
?DO SOMETHING RELAXING before going to bed.
?EXERCISE DURING THE DAY. Don’t exercise right before going to bed.
?AVOID DRINKING ALCOHOL. Alcohol makes you excited. This prevents you from falling asleep or wakes you up during the night.
?DON’T SMOKE. Smoking is always bad for the body. Smoking before bedtime keeps you awake.
If trying these tips over a couple of weeks does not help you, speak to your doctor. Do not take any sleeping pills without first asking your doctor. Many of them have strong side effects.
1. The passage suggests that people with sleep problems should________.
A. eat vegetables and exercise regularly
B. make up for lost sleep on weekends
C. follow a fixed timetable for sleep
D. sleep seven hours every day
2. We can learn from the suggestions that________.
A. getting up earlier one morning makes it easier to fall asleep that night
B. listening to soft music before going to bed may help you fall asleep
C. smokers and those who drink alcohol usually have sleep problems
D. exercising in the evening will help you get to sleep
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Sleep problems are serious among young people.
B. Sleeping late on weekends can make up for lost sleep.
C. Your eating habits will be broken due to lack of sleep.
D. You’ll no longer have your sleep problem if you try the tips.
4. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. Many young people have sleep problems.
B. Don’t smoke before sleeping.
C. How to keep healthy sleep habits.
D. Smoking can make you awake.
LEEDS, England—A Leeds University psychology (心理学) professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies.
“The hate we hold within us is a cancer,” Professor Ken Hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
More than 70 people have become members in Hart’s first 20-week workshop in London—a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.
“These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves,” said Canadian-born Hart.
The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight.
The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people.“People have lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness,” he said, “People confuse (混同) forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to positive one.” Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed.
“The main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with, ” said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.
Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people “want to get free of the past”.
1. From this passage we know that________.
A. high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hate
B. high blood pressure can only be cured by psychology professors
C. without hate, people will have less trouble connected with blood and heart
D. people who suffer from blood pressure and heart disease must have many enemies
2. If you are angry with somebody, you should________.
A. try your best to defeat him or her
B. never meet him or her again
C. persuade him or her to have a talk with you
D. relax yourself by not thinking of him or her any more
3. If you were a member in Hart’s workshop, you would________.
A. pay much money to Hart
B. go to the workshop every night
C. attend a gathering twice a month
D. pour out everything stored in your mind
4. The author wrote this passage in order to________.
A. persuade us to go to Hart’s workshop
B. tell us the news about Hart’s workshop
C. tell us how to run a workshop like Hart’s
D. help us to look at various kinds of angers

Healthy Habits, Healthy Body
Feeling tired lately? Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.
Then, consider this:you might be in a state of subhealth (亚健康).
Subhealth, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease.
According to the investigation (调查研究) by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam time.
Symptoms (征兆) include a lack of energy, depression (压抑), slow reactions, insomnia (失眠), agitation (焦虑), and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.
The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open-air activities.
As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should eat more fresh vegetables, fruit and fish because they are rich in nutritional (营养的) elements—vitamins and trace elements (微量元素)—that are important to the body.
Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract (消化道). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.
1. According to this passage, which of the following is right?
A. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should stay home and keep silent.
B. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicine.
C. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should have yourself examined in foreign countries.
D. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should find out the reasons and relax yourself.
2. Middle-aged people may be easy to feel subhealthy because________.
A. they have used to their energy
B. they have lost their living hopes
C. they have more pressure in life and work
D. they begin to get older
3. As for food, experts suggested that________.
A. we should never eat meat
B. we should have meals with less salt and sugar
C. we should eat less than usual
D. we should have meals without salt or sugar
4. The underlined word “alternate” in the sixth paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. arrange by turns B. cause to take place
C. keep up D. take up
答案:1.D 2. C 3. B 4. A
Sleep Struggle
One in every five young people has a sleep problem, so you’re not alone. Getting enough sleep has become as important as eating vegetables and exercising regularly. It’s very important for your body.
Most young people only get seven hours of sleep each night, when they actually need nine hours. And making up for lost sleep during the week by sleeping on weekends doesn’t really work. In fact, sleeping late on weekends may actually do you more harm than good, if you have sleep problems.
What happens if you don’t get enough sleep? If your sleep problem continues for a few nights, you could suffer serious problems. Lack of sleep can affect learning and memory. Worse, if your sleep difficulties last a long time, that could lead to anxiety or depression (抑郁). Therefore, you’ve got to have some healthy sleep habits. Below are some suggestions:
?GO TO BED AT THE SAME TIME—including weekends, if possible.
?WAKE UP AROUND THE SAME TIME EVERY MORNING. When you sleep late just one morning during the week, it may disturb your body clock. This will make it hard for you to sleep that night.
?DO SOMETHING RELAXING before going to bed.
?EXERCISE DURING THE DAY. Don’t exercise right before going to bed.
?AVOID DRINKING ALCOHOL. Alcohol makes you excited. This prevents you from falling asleep or wakes you up during the night.
?DON’T SMOKE. Smoking is always bad for the body. Smoking before bedtime keeps you awake.
If trying these tips over a couple of weeks does not help you, speak to your doctor. Do not take any sleeping pills without first asking your doctor. Many of them have strong side effects.
1. The passage suggests that people with sleep problems should________.
A. eat vegetables and exercise regularly
B. make up for lost sleep on weekends
C. follow a fixed timetable for sleep
D. sleep seven hours every day
2. We can learn from the suggestions that________.
A. getting up earlier one morning makes it easier to fall asleep that night
B. listening to soft music before going to bed may help you fall asleep
C. smokers and those who drink alcohol usually have sleep problems
D. exercising in the evening will help you get to sleep
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Sleep problems are serious among young people.
B. Sleeping late on weekends can make up for lost sleep.
C. Your eating habits will be broken due to lack of sleep.
D. You’ll no longer have your sleep problem if you try the tips.
4. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. Many young people have sleep problems.
B. Don’t smoke before sleeping.
C. How to keep healthy sleep habits.
D. Smoking can make you awake.
答案:1. C 2. B 3. A 4. C
LEEDS, England—A Leeds University psychology (心理学) professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies.
“The hate we hold within us is a cancer,” Professor Ken Hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
More than 70 people have become members in Hart’s first 20-week workshop in London—a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.
“These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves,” said Canadian-born Hart.
The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight.
The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people.“People have lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness,” he said, “People confuse (混同) forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to positive one.” Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed.
“The main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with, ” said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.
Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people “want to get free of the past”.
1. From this passage we know that________.
A. high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hate
B. high blood pressure can only be cured by psychology professors
C. without hate, people will have less trouble connected with blood and heart
D. people who suffer from blood pressure and heart disease must have many enemies
2. If you are angry with somebody, you should________.
A. try your best to defeat him or her
B. never meet him or her again
C. persuade him or her to have a talk with you
D. relax yourself by not thinking of him or her any more
3. If you were a member in Hart’s workshop, you would________.
A. pay much money to Hart
B. go to the workshop every night
C. attend a gathering twice a month
D. pour out everything stored in your mind
4. The author wrote this passage in order to________.
A. persuade us to go to Hart’s workshop
B. tell us the news about Hart’s workshop
C. tell us how to run a workshop like Hart’s
D. help us to look at various kinds of angers

__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
掌握it的用法;
理解并巩固it的各种用法并能正确使用;
It的用法
一、it 作人称代词
1. it的最基本用法是作代词,主要指刚提到的事物,以避免重复:
Xi’an is?a?beautiful?city, isn’t?it?
2. 也可以指动物或婴儿(未知性别的婴儿或孩子):
Is this your dog? No, it isn’t.
二、it作非人称代词
it有时并不指具体的东西,而泛指天气、时间、日期、距离、价值、度量、温度、环境等,称为非人称的it:
1. 指天气: It is a lovely day, isn’t?it? It is a bit windy.
2. 指时间: It was nearly midnight when she came back.
3. 指环境: It was very quiet in?the?café.
4. 指距离: It is half an hour’s?walk?to the city centre from my home.

6. 指季节: It is summer now.
7. 指度量: It is about 5 kilograms.
8. 指价值: ---What's the cost of the T-shirt? ----It is 150 yuan.
三、it用作形式主语
替代作主语的从句、动词不定式、动名词,而把真正作主语的从句、动词不定式、动名词置于句尾。
1. 代作主语的动词不定式
(1) It +be+ adj.+(for sb.)to do sth.
此处adj. 通常为描述事件的形容词:easy, difficult, hard, necessary, unnecessary, possible, impossible, likely, unlikely, right, wrong, important, unimportant, legal, illegal, polite, impolite, clear, obvious, certain, suitable, proper, fit, useful, useless, dangerous…
It is illegal(for a teenager)to drive a car without a license.
(2) It +be+ adj. of sb. to do sth.
此处adj. 通常为描述人的形容词:kind, unkind, nice, rude, cruel, considerate, thoughtful, thoughtless, careful, careless, silly, foolish, stupid, clever, wise, crazy.

(3) It替代作主语的动名词的常见句型
It's no good/use doing…
It's(well)worth doing…
It's(well)worthwhile doing/ to do
It's no use crying over spilt milk.
2. it作形式主语替代主语从句
①It+ be+ adj. +clause
It is clear ( obvious, true, possible, certain …) that ...
该句型中it 是形式主语,真正的主语是that 引导的主语从句,常译为“清楚(显然, 真的……)” 是主语从句最常见的一种结构。例如:
It is very clear that he’s round and tall like a tree.
②It +be +v-ed +that…=sb./sth.+be+ to do
It is said (reported/ learned/believed/thought/known/told/hoped.....) that ...
该句型中的it 仍是形式主语,真正主语是that 引导的主语从句;该结构常译为“据说(据报道,据悉. . . )”。
It is reported that another earth satellite has been put into orbit.
③ It +be + noun +从句
It is a pity /a shame + that ...
该句型中,that后的从句一般用虚拟语气(should + 动词原形),should可省去. 表示出乎意料,常译为“竟然”。没有这种意义时,则不用虚拟语气。
It is a pity that such a thing (should) happen in your class.
这种事竟然发生在你们班上,真是遗憾!
It is a pity that he is ill. 他生病了,真遗憾!
四、it作形式宾语
当复合宾语中的宾语是不定式、动名词宾语从句时,往往把宾语放在它的补足语后面,而用it 作形式宾语,放在宾语补足语之前。
该句型中的it 作形式宾语,常用的动词有think, believe, make, find, consider, feel等。
I think it no use arguing with him. 我认为和他争吵没有用。
I found it very interesting to study English. 我发现学英语非常有趣。
He made it clear that he was not interested in this subject.
他非常清楚地表示他对那门学科不感兴趣。
五、用于强调句型中
It is/was? + 被强调部分 + that/who ...
It is not until + 被强调部分 + that ...
It was five o’clock _________I got home.
It was at five o’clock_______ I got home.
强调句用以强调主语,宾语,介词宾语以及状语。强调人时用that和who /whom皆可
It was she who /that had been wrong.
It was the girl whom /that I met just now.
It was Tom to whom the teacher had talked.
It was on Monday night that all this happened.
It is not until + 被强调部分 + that ...
该句型也是强调句型。主要用于强凋时间状语,译成汉语 “直到……才……”,可以说是not ... until ... 的强调形式。例如:
It was not until she took off her dark glasses that I realized she was a famous film star.
= Not until she took off her dark glasses did I realize she was a famous film star.
= I didn’t realize she was a famous film star until she took off her dark glasses.
六、It 常用的固定搭配
1. make it
(1)在口语当中相当于succeed,表示:成功、做到、说定、赶上、及时到达
It's hard to make it to the top in show business.
(2)在口语中相当于fix the date for,表示“约定好时间”例?
—Shall we meet next week?
—OK. We just make it next Saturday.
2. take it/things easy
相当于Don‘t worry or don’t hurry. 用来劝告别人,表示“不要慌,别担心,沉住气”

3. It all depends/that all depends 在口语中,相当于it hasn‘t been decided yet,表示“那得看情况,还没有定下来”

三、阅读理解
“Family” is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting one’s own life. The man’s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife’s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility. Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.
Readers of novels like Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former time’s marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl’s parents, that is, it was the parents’ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry their daughter. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents’ home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.
1. What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word”?
A. Different families have different ways of life.
B. Different definitions could be given to the word.
C. Different nations have different families.
D. Different times produce different families.
2. For an English family, the husband’s duty is________.
A. running the family while the wife is financial support
B. defending the family while the wife is running the home
C. financial support while the wife is running the home
D. dependent while the wife is independent
3. Everything is decided in a family________.
A. by the couple
B. with the help of their parents
C. by brothers and sisters
D. with the help of aunts and uncles
4. What is TRUE concerning the book Pride and Prejudice?
A. It is the best book on marriage.
B. It is a handbook of marriage.
C. It gives some idea of English social life in the past.
D. It provides a lot of information of former time’s wealthy families.
At the recent O & P Extremity Games, I had the opportunity to observe a new generation of athletes with disabilities who were skateboarding and rock climbing. These young people really showed the promise of how rewarding physical activities are! We disabled can—and should be—as active as anyone else. When we get and stay active, we will feel better, be able to do more, have healthier bodies, and look better. It is a fact that exercise actually produces energy and builds on itself. The more we exercise, the fitter our bodies are, and thus the more energy we have to enjoy recreation and the pleasure of life.
Not everyone is cut out to be a competitive athlete, but there are things that we can do to strengthen our physical well-being. Experts recommend that spending as little as 30 minutes each day on physical activities provides benefits including lower risk of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes (糖尿病) and other serious diseases. Taking steps to become physically fit does not have to mean acquiring expensive training equipment or a gym membership. Exercise can include simple walking and running, gardening, cleaning the house, swimming, tennis, bicycling (stationary or on the road) and so on. The key is to do it on a regular basis.
Healthy lifestyles also require good nutritional habits. When choosing foods, nutritionists advise whole grains, flesh fruits and vegetables, fish, and lean (瘦的) cuts of poultry and meat. The benefits of drinking eight full glasses of water a day are also documented. Water provides the means for nutrients to travel to all our organs, improves skin tone (柔韧), regulates body temperature and contributes to muscle strength and control, which is confirmed by scientists.
Fitness results in completing the tasks of daily living, working a full day, and still having energy to participate in recreational activities. By being fit, you’ll find that you enjoy recreational activities even more because you won’t be tired or suffer from gore muscles.
It is time, folks, to get moving. So let’s all get out there and do some exercise!
1. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. He wants to ask people to respect the disabled.
B. He intends to call on people to do some exercise.
C. He wants people to know the importance of exercise for the disabled.
D. He wants to explain what healthy lifestyles are.
2. According to the passage, physical activities bring benefits to humans EXCEPT________.
A. lower risk of heart disease
B. better muscle control
C. less chance of getting diabetes
D. less chance of having high blood pressure
3. The author is most probably a(n)________.
A. disabled man B. doctor
C. coach D. athlete
4. What do we learn from the passage?
A. Water can provide nutrients for us to improve skin tone.
B. Extreme sports have little to do with normal people.
C. One can enjoy recreation and the pleasure of life by doing extreme games.
D. We can have more energy to do things in our everyday life if we strengthen our physical well-being.
四、书面表达

Unit3 A healthy life-语法篇
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
掌握it的用法;
理解并巩固it的各种用法并能正确使用;
It的用法
一、it 作人称代词
1. it的最基本用法是作代词,主要指刚提到的事物,以避免重复:
Xi’an is?a?beautiful?city, isn’t?it?
2. 也可以指动物或婴儿(未知性别的婴儿或孩子):
Is this your dog? No, it isn’t.
二、it作非人称代词
it有时并不指具体的东西,而泛指天气、时间、日期、距离、价值、度量、温度、环境等,称为非人称的it:
1. 指天气: It is a lovely day, isn’t?it? It is a bit windy.
2. 指时间: It was nearly midnight when she came back.
3. 指环境: It was very quiet in?the?café.
4. 指距离: It is half an hour’s?walk?to the city centre from my home.
5. 指日期: --What's the date today? --It's May 1, 2007.
6. 指季节: It is summer now.
7. 指度量: It is about 5 kilograms.
8. 指价值: ---What's the cost of the T-shirt? ----It is 150 yuan.
三、it用作形式主语
替代作主语的从句、动词不定式、动名词,而把真正作主语的从句、动词不定式、动名词置于句尾。
1. 代作主语的动词不定式
(1) It +be+ adj.+(for sb.)to do sth.
此处adj. 通常为描述事件的形容词:easy, difficult, hard, necessary, unnecessary, possible, impossible, likely, unlikely, right, wrong, important, unimportant, legal, illegal, polite, impolite, clear, obvious, certain, suitable, proper, fit, useful, useless, dangerous…
It is illegal(for a teenager)to drive a car without a license.
(2) It +be+ adj. of sb. to do sth.
此处adj. 通常为描述人的形容词:kind, unkind, nice, rude, cruel, considerate, thoughtful, thoughtless, careful, careless, silly, foolish, stupid, clever, wise, crazy.
It's kind of you to help me with the problem.
(3) It替代作主语的动名词的常见句型
It's no good/use doing…
It's(well)worth doing…
It's(well)worthwhile doing/ to do
It's no use crying over spilt milk.
2. it作形式主语替代主语从句
①It+ be+ adj. +clause
It is clear ( obvious, true, possible, certain …) that ...
该句型中it 是形式主语,真正的主语是that 引导的主语从句,常译为“清楚(显然, 真的……)” 是主语从句最常见的一种结构。例如:
It is very clear that he’s round and tall like a tree.
②It +be +v-ed +that…=sb./sth.+be+ to do
It is said (reported/ learned/believed/thought/known/told/hoped.....) that ...
该句型中的it 仍是形式主语,真正主语是that 引导的主语从句;该结构常译为“据说(据报道,据悉. . . )”。
It is reported that another earth satellite has been put into orbit.
③ It +be + noun +从句
It is a pity /a shame + that ...
该句型中,that后的从句一般用虚拟语气(should + 动词原形),should可省去. 表示出乎意料,常译为“竟然”。没有这种意义时,则不用虚拟语气。
It is a pity that such a thing (should) happen in your class.
这种事竟然发生在你们班上,真是遗憾!
It is a pity that he is ill. 他生病了,真遗憾!
四、it作形式宾语
当复合宾语中的宾语是不定式、动名词宾语从句时,往往把宾语放在它的补足语后面,而用it 作形式宾语,放在宾语补足语之前。
该句型中的it 作形式宾语,常用的动词有think, believe, make, find, consider, feel等。
I think it no use arguing with him. 我认为和他争吵没有用。
I found it very interesting to study English. 我发现学英语非常有趣。
He made it clear that he was not interested in this subject.
他非常清楚地表示他对那门学科不感兴趣。
五、用于强调句型中
It is/was? + 被强调部分 + that/who ...
It is not until + 被强调部分 + that ...
It was five o’clock _________I got home.
It was at five o’clock_______ I got home.
强调句用以强调主语,宾语,介词宾语以及状语。强调人时用that和who /whom皆可
It was she who /that had been wrong.
It was the girl whom /that I met just now.
It was Tom to whom the teacher had talked.
It was on Monday night that all this happened.
It is not until + 被强调部分 + that ...
该句型也是强调句型。主要用于强凋时间状语,译成汉语 “直到……才……”,可以说是not ... until ... 的强调形式。例如:
It was not until she took off her dark glasses that I realized she was a famous film star.
= Not until she took off her dark glasses did I realize she was a famous film star.
= I didn’t realize she was a famous film star until she took off her dark glasses.
六、It 常用的固定搭配
1. make it
(1)在口语当中相当于succeed,表示:成功、做到、说定、赶上、及时到达
It's hard to make it to the top in show business.
(2)在口语中相当于fix the date for,表示“约定好时间”例?
—Shall we meet next week?
—OK. We just make it next Saturday.
2. take it/things easy
相当于Don‘t worry or don’t hurry. 用来劝告别人,表示“不要慌,别担心,沉住气”
Take it easy! He will do it well.
3. It all depends/that all depends 在口语中,相当于it hasn‘t been decided yet,表示“那得看情况,还没有定下来”
—Are you going to the countryside for holiday?
—It/That all depends.
4. It's up to sb.
在口语中,相当于it's decided by sb. 表示“由……决定,由……负责,取决于……”

三、阅读理解
“Family” is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting one’s own life. The man’s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife’s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility. Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.
Readers of novels like Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former time’s marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl’s parents, that is, it was the parents’ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry their daughter. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents’ home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.
1. What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word”?
A. Different families have different ways of life.
B. Different definitions could be given to the word.
C. Different nations have different families.
D. Different times produce different families.
2. For an English family, the husband’s duty is________.
A. running the family while the wife is financial support
B. defending the family while the wife is running the home
C. financial support while the wife is running the home
D. dependent while the wife is independent
3. Everything is decided in a family________.
A. by the couple
B. with the help of their parents
C. by brothers and sisters
D. with the help of aunts and uncles
4. What is TRUE concerning the book Pride and Prejudice?
A. It is the best book on marriage.
B. It is a handbook of marriage.
C. It gives some idea of English social life in the past.
D. It provides a lot of information of former time’s wealthy families.
答案:1. B 2. C 3. A 4. C
At the recent O & P Extremity Games, I had the opportunity to observe a new generation of athletes with disabilities who were skateboarding and rock climbing. These young people really showed the promise of how rewarding physical activities are! We disabled can—and should be—as active as anyone else. When we get and stay active, we will feel better, be able to do more, have healthier bodies, and look better. It is a fact that exercise actually produces energy and builds on itself. The more we exercise, the fitter our bodies are, and thus the more energy we have to enjoy recreation and the pleasure of life.
Not everyone is cut out to be a competitive athlete, but there are things that we can do to strengthen our physical well-being. Experts recommend that spending as little as 30 minutes each day on physical activities provides benefits including lower risk of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes (糖尿病) and other serious diseases. Taking steps to become physically fit does not have to mean acquiring expensive training equipment or a gym membership. Exercise can include simple walking and running, gardening, cleaning the house, swimming, tennis, bicycling (stationary or on the road) and so on. The key is to do it on a regular basis.
Healthy lifestyles also require good nutritional habits. When choosing foods, nutritionists advise whole grains, flesh fruits and vegetables, fish, and lean (瘦的) cuts of poultry and meat. The benefits of drinking eight full glasses of water a day are also documented. Water provides the means for nutrients to travel to all our organs, improves skin tone (柔韧), regulates body temperature and contributes to muscle strength and control, which is confirmed by scientists.
Fitness results in completing the tasks of daily living, working a full day, and still having energy to participate in recreational activities. By being fit, you’ll find that you enjoy recreational activities even more because you won’t be tired or suffer from gore muscles.
It is time, folks, to get moving. So let’s all get out there and do some exercise!
1. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. He wants to ask people to respect the disabled.
B. He intends to call on people to do some exercise.
C. He wants people to know the importance of exercise for the disabled.
D. He wants to explain what healthy lifestyles are.
2. According to the passage, physical activities bring benefits to humans EXCEPT________.
A. lower risk of heart disease
B. better muscle control
C. less chance of getting diabetes
D. less chance of having high blood pressure
3. The author is most probably a(n)________.
A. disabled man B. doctor
C. coach D. athlete
4. What do we learn from the passage?
A. Water can provide nutrients for us to improve skin tone.
B. Extreme sports have little to do with normal people.
C. One can enjoy recreation and the pleasure of life by doing extreme games.
D. We can have more energy to do things in our everyday life if we strengthen our physical well-being.
答案:1. B 2. B 3. A 4. D

Boys and girls,
I find many of you have got into the habit of smoking. In fact, smoking is a bad habit. It is said that about half of the people in China are smoking and the smokers are becoming younger and younger.
Nowadays more and more people have realized smoking can do harm to people’s health. However, some of them still enjoy smoking. Why?Because some think it is a kind of fashion, some think it is of great fun and others think that they can refresh themselves with cigarettes.
It can cause a lot of diseases. Meanwhile smoking is a waste of money. Besides, careless smokers may cause dangerous fires.
Smoking is harmful and it is not only bad for smokers themselves, but also bad for non-smokers around them.
Therefore, I hope you can give up smoking for yourselves and also for the people around you.
Yours,
Li Hua
