Language Points
2. How long have you been like this? 你这种情况多久了？
how long 意为“多久”，用来询问一段时间，可以对“for+一段时间” 或since引导的时间状语（从句）提问，还可以询问物体的长度。如：
1）--How long may I keep the book?
这本书我可以借多久？
--For two weeks. 两个星期。
2）--How long haven’t you seen him?
你有多久没见过他了？
-- Since January/ I left college.
自从一月份以来/ 我离开大学以后。
-- How long is Jones Street? 琼斯大街有多长？
注意：how long 用来询问时间时，句中的谓语动词必须是延续性动词。
3. I’ve been ill for about three days! 我已经病了三天了！
“for +时间段”的用法
”for+时间段” 表示一段时间，通过和现在完成时连用，动词必须是延续性动词。对此提问时，用疑问词组how long。
The film has been on for 30 minutes.
电影开演30分钟了。
We have been here for ten years.
我们在这里有10年时间了。
I have studied English for five years.
我学英语有5年时间了。
3.You spend too much time in front of the
computer. 你在电脑前花费了太多时间。
too much意为“太多的······“，作定语用来修饰
不可数名词，表示超过某种程度；也可以用来
修饰动词，作状语。
There is too much rain in the south.
南方雨水太多。
Don’t eat too much, or you’ll get fat.
不要吃得太多，否则你会发胖的。
4. Take it three times a day. 一天吃三次。
three times a day 意为”一天三次”，表示频率。类似的还有：twice a day “一天两次 ”
once every five minutes “ 每隔五分钟一次 ”
Take this medicine after meal three times a day. 这药饭后服用，一日三次。
He goes fishing twice a month.
他一个月钓两次鱼。
注意：对表示“频率”的词组进行提问
要用how often.
--How often do you to see your parents?你多长时间去看一次你的父母？
-- Once a week.一星期一次。
5. It is easy to look after your health.
照顾好你的身体很容易。
句中it 作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词
不定式 to look after your health.
It’s + adj. + to do sth. 表示“做······是······的”。
It’s important to wash our hands before
we have something.
吃东西之前洗手是很重要的。
拓展：It’s +adj. + for / of sb. to do sth.
It’s dangerous for us to play in the street.
在街上玩对我们来说是危险的。
(句中的形容词仅仅描述某事物对某人来说有何影响）
It’s very nice of you to give me a chance.
能给我这次机会，你真是太好了。
（句中的形容词描述行为者的“性格、品质”）
6. look after 为“动词+介词” 短语， 意为“照看；照顾”， 相当于take care of, 后跟名词、代词作宾格。
Who’s going to look after the house?
谁来照看房子？
The boy is very young. He can’t look after himself. 这男孩很小。 他不能照顾自己。
注意：take care of 作“保护；保管” 讲时，
不能和look after 互换。
Please take care of your belongings.
请保管好你的随身物品。
7. If you have been ill for more than one day, go to the doctor. 如果你生病一天以上了， 赶紧去看医生。
more than 意为“多于······；超过······”，常和数词连用。“more than one +单数名词”
意为“不止一个······”，作主语时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
More than one person has been killed in this war. 不止一个人在这场战争中丧生。
短语: take good care of = look after …well,
意为“照顾得好”
Teach the children how to take good care
of pets. = Teach the children how to look after pets well.
教导孩子如何照顾好小动物。
1. I've got a stomach ache and my head hurts.
我胃痛，头也痛。
注意疾病的表达方式，以“我头痛”为例，常见的表达方式有：
I have got a headache.
=My head hurts/aches.
=I have a pain in my head
Language points
ache 、sore和hurt 的区别：
ache 是一个名词后缀，如：toothache , headache ,stomachache；
sore 是一个形容词，用来修饰名词，指的是身体某一部位的酸痛。如：sore back, sore throat
hurt是一个动词，指“刺痛，使受伤痛”。如：He hurts his leg.他伤了腿。还可以说“His leg hurts.”他腿疼。
tooth+ ache = toothache （牙痛）
head+ache = headache （头痛）
back+ache=backache（背痛）
stomach +ache = stomachache（胃痛）
Ear + ache=earache （耳朵痛）
Heart + ache=heartache（心脏病）
名词后缀-ache表示部位疼痛
ache 这个单词本身就是一个单独的单词，表示“疼痛”的意思，与tooth、head等单词合在一起组成一个新的单词，这就叫做复合名词，发音为/eg/。
除此之外，我们以前还学过许多这样的单词，如：bedroom ,snowman, watermelon, eggplant, newspaper等等都是复合名词。
2. That’s the problem!
这就是问题所在！
注意冠词的使用，这里使用定冠词，表示“这就是问题所在”，the problem 指造成大明胃病的原因。如果用不定冠词a, 意思就相去甚远。
3. Do you do any exercise?
你锻炼身体吗？
本句中exercise表示“锻炼”，为不可数名词，没有复数形式。例如：
You should take more exercise.
你应该多锻炼。
Try to do twenty minutes of vigorous exercise every day.
每天要尽量做20分钟的高强度锻炼。
4. It can be very harmful to your health.
这对健康很不好。
be harmful to = do harm to 对……有害
所以本句又可表达为：
It can do a lot of harm to your health.
Smoking is harmful to your health.
吸烟有害健康。
1. chemicals can help to produce better crops but ____the environment.
A. do bad to B. do harm to
C. are bad for D. are harmful to
解析：答案B 。do harm to 对……有害。
不选are harmful to是因为can 后应为be harmful to
Exercise
一、单项选择题。
B
2. The doctor told me to ____the medicine
three times a day. A. eat B. drink
C. take D. have
解析：答案C 。“吃药，喝药”的固定表达是take medicine。不能受中文表达的影响，喝药用drink, 吃药用eat或have。
C
3. Most of us will spend more time ___ lessons.
A .study B. to study
C. studying D. studies
解析：答案C 。spend 搭配有:
sb. spend some time/money (in) doing sth
sb. spend some time/money on sth
花费时间/金钱做某事
C
4.—These farmers have been to the United States.
— Really ? When ____ there ?
A. will they go B . did they go
C. do they go D. have they gone
解析：现在完成时与一般过去时容易混淆，就是因为它们所表示的动作都发生在过去，但二者又有区 别：一般过去时表示过去某个时间发生的事、存在的状态或经常发生的动作，说话的侧重点在于陈述一 件过去的事情，与现在没有关系；现在完成时表示与现在有关系的发生在过去的动作，它不与表示过去的时间状语（如yesterday , last week , a moment ago等）连用。故正确答案为B。
B
5. — Our country ______ a lot so far .
—Yes . I hope it will be even ______ .
Ａ. has changed ; well Ｂ. changed ; good
Ｃ. has changed ; better Ｄ. changed ; better
6. Have you met Mr. Li ____?
A. just B. before
C. ago D. a moment ago
C
B
1. You should ______ this medicine three
times a day.
2. My grandpa ______________every day.
3. Linda became very well after a short _____.
