☆教材解读☆
1.Grandpa, did people go fishing a long time ago??
◆go fishing意为“去钓鱼”,类似的短语还有:go hunting去打猎;go swimming去游泳;go skiing去滑雪;go skating去滑冰,go climbing去爬山。

◆a long time ago意为“很久以前”。“一段时间+ago”用于一般过去时。

at that time意为“在那时”,常用于一般过去时。
At that time, people didn’t have enough food to eat.在那时,人们没有足够的食物吃。
3.Our people always went fishing and hunting for food.?
hunt作动词,意为“打猎,搜索”,常构成短语go hunting, 表示“去打猎”, hunt for sth.意为“搜索某物”,和look for同义。

【拓展】　(1)take表示“花费”时,后面常跟双宾语,It takes sb.+时间+to do sth.“某人做某事花了多少时间”,只指“花费时间”,it为形式主语,后面的动词不定式是真正的主语。
It takes me half an hour to finish the work.我花费了半个小时完成工作。
