【课文讲解】
1.At first, he was very happy with it.
(1) at first 起初
辨析：at first与first of all
at first 起初；当初 相当于at the beginning，与后来发生的事相对照，其反义词组为at last
first of all 首先，第一 相当于first，表示顺序，是时间上或一系列行动的开始，后面往往接next，then等
Eg: At first, I didn't want to go, but I soon changed my mind.
First of all, I want to express my gratitude.
(2) be happy with sb./sth. =be pleased/satisfied with sb./sth. 对某人或事物满意的
Eg: His teacher is happy with him.
She is pleased with what I've done.
2.Later, however, he began to doubt that it was a real golden crown.
(1) however 然而
辨析：however与but，二者都有“然而，但是”的意思，其区别如下:
however 然而，不过 比较正式，可以放在分句之首、之中或之尾；其前面或后面要用逗号隔开，如在句中，其前后都要加逗号。
but 但是 表示很明显的对比，转折的意味比however要强，从语序上看，but 总是置于引出的分句之首。
Eg: It's raining hard, however, they're still working in the field.
I'd like to go swimming with you, but I have to tidy the garden now.
(2) begin to do sth. 开始做某事，同义词组为begin doing sth.
Eg: When can I begin to work?
When I got there, the singer had already begun singing.
(3) doubt此处用作及物动词，意为“不能肯定，对……无把握”。
Eg: He doubts the truth of the news.
I don't doubt that she'll come.
【拓展】①doubt用作不及物动词，意为“怀疑”，其后常接of, about。
Eg: She doubts about everything.
He doubts of his success.
②doubt后接宾语从句时，名词从句用if/whether引导，名词从句也可用that引导。
Eg: I doubt if/whether she will keep her word.
I don't doubt that we will win.
(4) real形容词，意为“真的，正宗的”，其副词形式为really。
Eg：This is a real dog, not a toy.
辨析：real与true
real 强调客观存在，并非想象的或虚构的，即某物外表与实质之间有一致性 Christmas Father isn't a real person. 圣诞老人不是真实的人物。
true 强调事实与实际情况相符，并非杜撰、捏造的，符合一定标准、一定模式 Is it true that he is dead? 他死了，是真的吗？
3.“Is it made completely of gold?” he wondered.
be made of 由……制成
辨析：be made of与 be made from
be made of 看得出原材料 The table is made of wood. 这张桌子是由木头做成的
be made from 看不出原材料 The wine is made from grain. 这酒是用粮食酿造的。
【中考﹒链接】
( )Books are made paper while paper is mainly made wood.
A. of; of B. from; from C. of; from D. from; of
4.“This problem seems difficult to solve. What should I do?” thought Archimedes.
seem用作连系动词，意为“似乎，好像”，本句中后接形容词作表语，这种用法较常见，可以和seem to be相互转换。
Eg: He seems very angry. = He seems to be very angry.
用作实意动词，可接to do sth.
Eg: He seems to sing.
Archimedes was still thinking about this problem as he filled his bath with water.
fill…with…? 用……把……装满 其被动语态形式为be filled with=be full of
…so I'm certain that it's not completely made of gold.
certain用作形容词，意为“确定的，肯定的”。
常用结构：
①be certain+从句 一定……
Eg: I'm not certain where he lives.
②be certain to do sth. 肯定要做某事
Eg: He is certain to finish the task on time.
③be certain of/about sth. 对……确信，有把握
Eg: We're certain of success.
④be certain of doing sth. 有把握做某事
Eg: He is certain of winning the match.
What's wrong with it?
What's wrong (with sb. /sth.)?是用来询问“某人发生了什么事情或某物出了什么毛病/故障”等最常用的句型之一。=What's the matte/trouble with...?
What's wrong with you?
8.That's why I'm angry.
That's why... 那就是……的原因，why引导的是表语从句，用陈述语序。
表语从句是在句中作表语的从句，常位于连系动词be,look等的后面。
Eg: The alarm clock didn't go off. That's why he was late for school.
9.How did Archimedes discover the truth?
辨析：discover与invent
这两个词都用作及物动词，都指人们首先见到新鲜事物，但含义不同。
discover 发现 指发现或偶然发现原本存在的，但一直未被认识或不为人知的东西
invent 发明 指创造发明出新的、原来并不存在的东西
Eg: Recently they discovered gold.
Edison invented the electric light bulb.
10.However, Helen, a brave woman, wanted to watch her son run.
watch sb. do sth. 意为“看某人做了某事或经常做某事”，表示看见动作发生、进行的全过程。其中do为省略to的不定式，作宾语补足语。
Eg: I watched her go out of the room just now.
注意：watch sb. doing sth. 意为“看某人正在做某事”，表示看见动作正在进行。其中doing为现在分词，作宾语补足语。 Eg: He stopped to watch us working. 他停下来看我们干活。
【拓展】和watch用法相同的动词（组）还有see, hear, make, feel, notice, look at
Eg: Did you hear Jack call you? 你听见杰克叫你了吗？（动作结束）
We often hear the girl sing English songs.
我们经常挺大了那个女孩唱英文歌曲。（动作经常发生）
I heard the song wind blowing when it was raining heavily.
下大雨的时候我听见狂风呼啸。（动作正在进行）
11. When you have written something, you should check your work to make sure the
spelling, grammar and punctuation are all correct.
(1) make sure意为“确保，设法保证”，后可接宾语从句或of短语。
Eg: Make sure that they know nothing about our plan.
They scored another goal and make sure of victory.
(2) correct adj.正确的=right correctly adv. 正确地
correct v. 改正；纠正 correct the mistakes 改正错误
12. …write what kind of mistake it is…
mistake 用作可数名词，意为“错误”，
常用短语：make a mistake /mistakes 犯错
by mistake 错误地
Eg: You've made several grammatical mistakes in the composition.
I got on the wrong bus by mistake.
【拓展】mistake还可用作动词，意为“弄错，搞错”。
mistake … for … 把…误认为…
Eg: She didn't speak very clearly, so I mistook what she said.
He is often mistaken for a famous actor.
13. However, no one could find a scale large enough.
①enough adv. 足够地 修饰形容词或副词时，要放在其后。
Eg：He runs quickly enough.
It's warm enough in the room.
②enough后常接（for+名词/代词+）to do sth. …足够…做某事
Eg: The box is light enough for the boy to carry.
14.He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out the truth.
send sth. to sb=send sb sth. 把某物寄/送给某人某物
15. First, he weighed the crown and asked the king of some gold of the same weight.
ask sb for sth. 向某人要某物；要求某人某事
ask for sb/sth. 请某人/某物；寻找某人/某物
16.He put the gold into one pot, and some water ran into the bowl. Then he put the crown into the other pot.
one…the other…指两者中的“一个……，另外一个……”有特定的数量范围。
Eg: He has two apples. One is red, and the other is green.
17. You must run as…as you can
as…as one can 意为“尽可能……”,相当于as…as possible, as…as 中间用副词或形容
词原级。
Eg: I hope you will write as soon as you can.
You must try to remember as many words as you can.
18. The men try to get these animals to run as…as they can.
get sb/sth. to do sth. 意为“使/让某人做某事
Can you get him to work hard?
19.What is the crown made of, gold or something else?
else与other都可以表示“别的，其他的“，但用法完全不同：
else 用于不定代词（anything，something，everything等）疑问词（what，who，where等）以及all，little和much等词的后面
other 用于修饰名词，放在名词前，如果前面没有定冠词，则不能单独使用。
Eg: Who else will go with us？
Where are the other students?

【重点语法】
★ 反义疑问句
概念：反意疑问句又叫附加疑问句，是在陈述句后，对陈述句所叙述的事实提出的疑问。
2.要点注意：
①反义疑问句前后两部分谓语应是：“肯定陈述＋否定疑问”或“否定陈述＋肯定疑问”，即“前肯后否”或“前否后肯”。
②前后两句主语保持一致。
③前后两句时态保持一致，问句部分的助动词要由陈述句部分的谓语动词决定
Eg: They will go to town soon, won't they? 不能用don't they?或 aren't they?
He works very hard, doesn't he? 不能用didn't he?或won't he?
④简略问句如果是否定式：not应与be，do，will等系动词、助动词、情态动词缩写。
⑤简略问句的主语不用名词，应用人称代词。
⑥陈述部分含“too...to”时，是否定句。
⑦反意疑问句的答语：回答遵循一个原则，那就是不管怎么提问，只要事实是肯定的，就用“Yes，肯定回答”；只要事实是否定的，就用“No，否定回答”。但在前否后肯的反意疑问句中，其答语与汉语翻译不同，Yes要翻译成“不”，No要翻译成“是”。
Eg: —You will never forget him, will you? 你永远不会忘记他，是吗?
—Yes，I will. 不，我会忘记。
—No，I won't. 是的，我不会忘记。
3.用法：
(1)陈述部分I am时，疑问部分要用 aren't I.
Eg: I'm as tall as your sister，aren't I? 我和你姐姐一样高，对吗？
陈述部分用 no, nothing, nobody, never, few, little, seldom, hardly等否定含义的词时，疑
问部分用肯定含义。
Eg: The old man made no answer, did he?
Jim is never late for school, is he?
(3) 陈述部分有情态动词
have to +v. (had to + v.)，疑问部分常用don't +主语（didn't +主语）。
Eg: We have to get there at eight tomorrow, don't we?
used to，疑问部分用didn't +主语或 usedn't +主语。
Eg: He used to take pictures there, didn't he? / usedn't he?
had better + v. 疑问句部分用hadn't you?
Eg: You'd better read it by yourself, hadn't you?
(4) 陈述部分有would rather（宁可、宁愿） +v.，疑问部分多wouldn't +主语。
Eg: He would rather read it ten times than recite it, wouldn't he?
(5) 陈述部分有You'd like to +v. 疑问部分用wouldn't +主语。
Eg: You'd like to go with me, wouldn't you?
(6) 陈述部分主语是指示代词或不定代词everything, that, nothing, this, 疑问部分主语用it。
Eg: Everything is ready, isn't it?
陈述部分主语是不定代词everybody, anyone, somebody, nobody, no one等，疑问部分常用复数they，有时也用单数he.
Eg: Everyone knows the answer, don't they? (doesn’t he?)
Nobody knows about it, do they? (does he?)
(7) think引导的宾语从句：
A.主语是第一人称
Eg: I don't think he is bright, is he?
We believe she can do it better, can't she?
B.如果主语不是第一人称则疑问部分与主句相对应构成反意疑问句
Eg: He thought they were wrong, didn't he? （不能说weren't they?）
(8) 省去主语的祈使句的反意疑问句，疑问部分用will you。
Eg: Don't do that again, will you?
Go with me, will you / won't you?
Let's 开头的祈使句，后用shall we ?
而Let us 开头的祈使句，后用will you?
Eg: Let's go and listen to the music, shall we?
Let us wait for you in the reading-room, will you?
(9) 陈述部分是"there be"结构的，疑问部分用there。
Eg: There is something wrong with your watch, isn't there?
There will not be any trouble, will there?
(10) 否定前缀不能视为否定词，其反意疑问句仍用否定形式。
Eg: It is impossible, isn't it?
He is not unkind to his classmates, is he?

Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school? No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other, and paining too. In India, most of us would look at the reduction（减少）of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America, there are always more choices. A company called go-Reader has created a "school bag" which is the size of a laptop computer, weighing about 2.5 kg. The go-Reader has a color screen and can "hold" all the textbooks that a student may need, says a report in 'The Asian Age' newspaper.
The company plans to work closely with the publishers（出版商） of textbooks so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is to download their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.
At present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicago's DePaul University, where he studied. Does that mean it is goodbye to the new paper, and the smell of the black ink?

We recycle rubbish, so why not language? Recycling language means using vocabulary that you have learnt before again and again. However, unlike rubbish that piles up(堆起) in our environment, if we do not recycle language, we simply forget it. So how do you recycle language?
Generally there are three ways to do it. The first is through reading. Go back to your favorite articles and read them once more. Just reread them and do not worry about each vocabulary item. If there are some that you are not sure about, make a guess and you will probably guess right. The second way to recycle is through writing. Look at some of your favorite articles and write either a short passage or a few sentences in your own words. After you have done this a few times, go back and read through what you have written, checking the usage of vocabulary. Don’t worry if you have made mistakes. That’s how you learn. The third way to recycle language is by having an imaginary chat with yourself about your favorite articles at home. You can imagine there is someone with you who speaks English, telling him what you are thinking about or how you feel.?
( )1. According to the passage, recycling language means “__________”.
A. repeating vocabulary at times.

Ding-Dong！Mom′s footsteps approached the front door.

We′ll make some everything else gets done before you play any more.”
Jason nodded slowly. He knew better than to argue with his father, and when he thought about it, he had been playing quite a bit. It was fun, but he was letting down his friends, his family, and himself by paying too much.

【重点语法】
★ 动词不定式
1.动词不定式的基本含义是表示目的或是未来要发生的动作。基本结构为“to+动词原形”(to有时可以省略)。在句中除不能充当谓语外，其他成分都可充当。如：主语、表语、宾语、状语、宾语补足语、定语等
2.用法：
1)不定式结构作主语：句子的谓语动词常用单数；常改为it作形式主语的句子
To get there by bike will take us 30 minutes.
It will take us 30 minutes to get there by bike.
用it作形式主语的句型：
*It is + 名词 + to do
It is our duty to take good care of the old.
*It takes sb. some time to do
It takes us half an hour to finish the work.
*It is + adj. + (of/for sb. +) to do
It is very kind of you to help me.

区别：of与for
It is quite important us to read good books during a general review．
It is not difficult those talented students to pass the exam.
It is very kind you to tell me the truth．
It is stupid him to do such a silly thing
2)不定式作宾语
及物动词+带to的不定式结构:
只能跟动词不定式的动词，常见的有: afford， agree， aim， appear， ask， believe， care，claim，decide demand， desire， determine， expect， fail， happen， hesitate， hope， intend， learn， long， manage， offer， pretend， promise， prepare， refuse， seek， swear， undertake，want， wish等。

You can decide whether to continue or to stop.
I will show you how to deal with it.
3)不定式做表语

His aim is to study abroad in the near future．
The most important thing is to negotiate with them about the price．
What I want to say is to forget all the unhappy experience．
4)不定式作定语
第一种，被修饰的名词词组是不定式的逻辑宾语。例如：

Feeling left out?
A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn’t around．Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes．
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new friends．but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends．But remember, there’s always room for more friends．

If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends．Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends．The best way to make friends is to be a friend．Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help—and pretty soon，you’ll have one，or two，or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend．But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends!

It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son．Everybody expects you to be special or perfect．I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me．I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does．Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team．

My parents and l went to school Thursday night．There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me，and I shrugged(耸肩)．
The third prize was announced and it was not me．1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time．The second prize was announced．It was me．
1 went up to the stage and read what I had written，“My father’s son”．When I finished，the people stood up and cheered．I saw my father blowing his nose．Tears were running down my mother's face．Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder．“So，this is the proudest moment of my life．’’
It was the proudest moment of my life，too．Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize，but it was enough just to be my father’s son．

A
There was once a man who couldn’t sleep well because he was afraid that there was a stranger under his bed. He thought that as soon as he went to sleep, the stranger would come out from under the bed and rob him. He was worried that the stranger might even kill him!
Every night, after he got into bed, the man had to get up again and looked under the bed. There was never anyone there, but as soon as he got back into bed, he had to get up and looked under the bed again. This went on for hours until at last he fell asleep from exhaustion.

Almost every day, we discuss the topic of health, especially for kids. But what is health? "Health" means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let's read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy.
1) Eat a variety of foods, especially fruits and vegetables. We all know that eating fruits and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite foods. Remember that we can only get the nutrition(营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruits and vegetables.

★ 句子成分
一、句子成分
句子是由词按照一定的语法结构组成的。构成句子的各个部分叫做句子成分。根据英语词汇在英语句子中的地位和作用，英语句子的成分可分为主语、谓语、宾语、补足语、状语等。
（一）主语
主语是全句所述说的主体，谓语讲述的对象，一般位于句首。表示所说的“是什么”或“是谁”。一般由名词、代词、数词、不定式、动名词、名词化的形容词和主语从句等充当。如：
（1）The braces hurt my teeth. （名词作主语）
（2）He reads newspapers every day. （代词作主语）
（3）One-third of the students in this class are girls. （数词作主语）
（4）To swim in Kunming Lake is a great pleasure. （不定式作主语）

（6）The rich should help the poor. （名词化的形容词作主语）

（二）谓语
谓语说明主语所做的动作或具有的特征和状态，它在主语后面，说明主语“做什么”“是什么”或“怎么样”。谓语（谓语部分里主要的词）必须是动词。谓语和主语在人称和数两方面必须一致。谓语的构成如下：
1、简单谓语：由一个动词或动词短语构成。如：He practices running every morning.
2、复合谓语：
（1）由情态动词或其他助动词加动词原形构成。如：
He can speak English. （情态动词和行为动词一起作谓语）
We don’t finish reading the book. （助动词和行为动词一起作谓语）

说明2：及物动词作谓语时，后面要跟宾语。宾语分直接宾语和间接宾语。直接宾语是及物动词的直接对象，直接宾语指物，间接宾语通常是及物动词的动作所涉及的人，间接宾语指人。间接宾语一般放在直接宾语之前。
不是所有的及物动词都可以用双宾语。有的动词可以跟。如：give, show（给……看），bring，pass，buy等。如：
（1）Our teacher tells us a story.
（2）The sun gives us light.
间接宾语如果放在直接宾语之后，在表示“人”的间接宾语之前会出现介词“to”或“for”。
间接宾语前加“to”的有：give, show, send, bring, read, pass, lend, leave, hand, tell, return, write, throw, promise（答应）, refuse（拒绝）等。
间接宾语前加“for”的有：make, buy, do, get, play, order（命令）, sing，pay等

ASSE is the American Scandinavian Student Exchange. This program was set up in Sweden in 1976 to organize with the United States. Later it began to include students in Norway, Denmark and Finland.
Today ASSE organizes international exchanges for high school students in thirty-one countries. The students live with a family and attend school for a year.
Other programs also offer high school students a chance to come to other countries. These programs include AFS, Youth for Understanding and the Program of Academic Exchange, or PAE.
For college students who want to come to other countries, there are programs like the International Student Exchange Program, or ISEP. This is a group of almost three hundred colleges in thirty-one countries. ISEP is an organization that was supported by the United States government in nineteen ninety-six.
ISEP is a true exchange program. That means two students from different countries trade places for a term or a year.
Work and Travel the USA is also for college students. But this program is not for those who want to study in the United States. It provides international students with the chance to work for up to four months while exploring American life.
The State Department says they generally work in hotels, restaurants and amusement parks but may also work for other employers. It also says students must understand that the money they make from their work may not be enough to pay all of their costs.

World War II lasted from1939 to 1945. Life changed for everybody, including women and children because of the war. Millions of people lost their lives during the war. The Diary of a young girl was a record of that time. The book was written by a girl named Anne Frank.
Anne Frank was born in Germany in June 1929. Because the German Nazis(纳粹) hated the Jew(犹太人) and wanted to kill them, her family had to move to another country.

In her diary, Anne wrote down her thoughts, her feelings, her hopes and her dreams for the future, “I want the diary to be my friend, and I’m going to call this friend KITTY.” “I can’t spend all day complaining because it’s impossible to have any fun! Every day, I feel the beauty of nature and the goodness of the people around me. With all that, why should I be sad?”
The diary of a young girl has also become a symbol of the greatness of the human spirit. It is called one of the wisest and most moving records on war.

prepared是形容词，意为”准备好;有所准备"。后常接介词for表示"准备好做某事"。

A
It’s very early in the morning and I’m sitting outside. It’s also very cold and dark. With me is Jim Nightingale, and he is the reason I’m up so early. He passes me a hot cup of coffee. “Not long to wait now,” he says. I hope he’s right.
After a few minutes there is a very weak light in the east, and then I hear a bird singing. It sings very loud and very clear. “That’s the robin (知更鸟)，”says Jim. A few more birds start singing with the robin and Jim knows the names of them too. Half an hour later, there are more and more birds singing, and it’s very loud! Suddenly, all around us the air is full of the sound of birdsong. This is the dawn chorus (晨鸣)，and it’s beautiful.
“Wow, this is amazing!” I tell Jim, who is smiling. “Is there a dawn chorus every morning?”
“Birds can sing any time of the year but the best time is the end of winter and during the spring. This is when the birds sing most.”
“Really? So, why do the sing?” I ask.
“Well, there are two reasons,” explains Jim. “Most of the songbirds who sing are males. They want to find a female so they sing to show how strong they are. The females listen and choose the best singer! The birds also sing to tell other males to go away. They need their won area; they don’t like sharing with another male.”
I listen to the birds; the songs seem too much to me. “Do the birds sing a special song in the morning?”
“That’s a good question,” replied Jim. “The successful birds have many kinds of calls and songs. Sometimes they copy the songs of other birds. This makes it sound like there are many birds in that place already and other males stay away. Also the female likes songs with different notes (音符). Some birds, for example the European wren(欧洲鹪鹩), have songs that contain over 700 different notes per minute! ”
So, how does Jim know so much about bird? Well, he works as a volunteer for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. He is trying to help the birds live in the modern world. “More and more of the birds’ habitat (栖息地) disappears very year. The sparrow, for example, was a very common bird in the UK; now it’s in danger.”
By now the sun is up and the birds are quiet. It’s light so they can start looking for food; they need a big breakfast after all that singing!

Starting from my second year of primary school, there was one event I hated every year: the piano recital(演奏会). I didn't want to practice a boring piece of music and was scared to perform in front of strangers. Each year I would ask my father if I could skip(跳过)the recital "just this once". And he would say something about building self-confidence and working toward a goat.
So I was very satisfied when I stood in church and watched my father play the piano during his very first recital. My father wanted to play music when he was small. But his mother couldn't afford lessons.
Three years ago, when he retired, he asked the church music director, Charles, to take him as a student. Just before the recital, Charles told me my dad was playing "the best I've ever seen him."
For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard, he simply stared(注视)down at his fingers. I wondered whether he would even begin.
But then Aram Khachaturian's Meldy began. It seemed that my father was so focused on
the music that he didn't realize we were there.
My dad made it through Melody and then through another sting. Although he didn't have much skill, he made up for it in feeling.
My 11-year-old son Jeff was there. "So what did you think about your granddad?" I asked Jeff later. "He was great," Jeff replied.
My father may not have reached his best musically, but in his grandson's eyes, he's at the top of the mountain.
1. From the first paragraph, we know the writer .
A. practiced the piano every day
B. didn't like to play the piano at all
C. was confident at piano recitals
D. was always working toward his goal

B. The music teacher was proud of him.
C. He gave a piano recital the year he retired.
D. He had learned the piano for three years.
3. Why did people like the performance of the writer's father?
A. Because he played with his feelings.
B. Because he communicated with people.
C. Because he was an old learner.
D. Because he practiced hard.
4. What does the story tell us?
A. Learning an instrument is easy for old people.
B. Skills for playing an instrument are not very important.
C. Children should respect parents' decisions.
D. Never give up on your dreams no matter your age.

I can’t decide anything at the moment.
(2) decide to do sth.
We decide to go to Paris next month.
(3) decide on…意为“由……决定；决定于……”。后面接名词、代词或动名词作宾语。

(2)由prefer构成的短语：

可以是名词、代词或者动名词，但必须两个词形式统一。
We prefer apples to oranges.

▲ prefer to do something rather than do something意为“宁愿做某事，而不愿意做某事”,此短

3. She used to cook it for me.
used to do sth.是一个固定结构，意思是“过去经常做某事”，后面用动词原形，表示过去的
某种经常性、习惯性的行为或者动作，并意味着这种动作目前已经不存在。例如：

否定句：You didn’t use to like pop songs.=You usedn’t to like pop songs.
一般疑问句：Did your sister use to be quiet? = Used your sister to be quiet?
there be句式：There used to be a lot of fishes in this river.
【拓展】
(1) be used to do something意思是“被用来做某事”，是动词短语use …to do的被动语态结构。
Knives are used to cut things.
(2)be used to doing something意思是“习惯于做某事”，to后接动词-ing形式。
My father is used to living in the village.
4. The doctor said that I need to lose a bit of weight by avoiding fat，oil and sugar.
a bit of意为“一点儿”，修饰不可数名词，与a little 可互换。但要注意not a bit与not a little
的区别，前者表示“一点也不”，而后者表示“许多，不只一点点”。例如：
He had a bit of /a little bread for his breakfast.
—Could you give me a bit of / a little water? 请你给我点水好吗？
—Of course. 当然可以。
—Are you tired？你累吗？
—No，not a bit. 一点也不累。
He gives me not a little trouble.

a bit表示“稍微，一点儿”， 可以修饰形容词、副词及其比较级，与a little可互用。例如：

【重点语法】
★ 宾语从句
一、概念
在复合句中用作宾语的从句叫宾语从句。宾语从句是一种名词性从句，在句中作及物动词的宾语，或介词的宾语，或形容词的宾语。
二、用法：学习宾语从句要抓住三要素：连接词、语序和时态。
1、连接词
①由that引导的宾语从句。that只有语法作用，没有实在的意义，可以省略。例如：
He said (that) he wanted to stay at home.
She doesn’t know (that) she is seriously ill.
I am sure (that) he will succeed.
②由if或whether引导的宾语从句。if和whether在句中的意思是“是否”。例如：
I want to know if (whether) he lives there.
He asked me whether (if) I could help him. 他
③由连接代词who, whom, whose, what, which和连接副词when, where, why, how引导
的宾语从句。这些连接代词和连接副词在宾语从句中充当某个成分。例如：
Do you know who (whom) they are waiting for?
He asked whose handwriting was the best.
Can you tell me where the No.3 bus stop is?
I don’t know why the train is late.
2、语序—陈述语序
无论主句是陈述句还是疑问句，宾语从句都必须使用陈述句语序，即“主句+连接词+宾语从句（主语+谓语+……）”句式。例如：
(√) I don’t know which city they will fly to.
(×) I don’t know which city will they fly to.
3、时态
①如果主句的时态是一般现在时，宾语从句该用什么时态就用什么时态。如：
I don’t think (that) you are right.
Please tell us where he is.
She says (that) she will leave a message on his desk.
②如果主句的时态是一般过去时，宾语从句用过去的某个时态（一般过去时，过去
进行时，过去将来时，过去完成时）。例如：
He asked what time it was.
He told me that he was preparing for the sports meet.
③如果宾语从句所陈述的是客观事实、普遍真理、自然现象或习惯性动作等时，不
管主句用什么时态，宾语从句都用一般现在时。例如：
Our teacher said that January is the first month of the year.
Scientists have proved that the earth turns around the sun.

A small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree and it has been there for the past ten years or so.
It all began because my husband Justin hated Christmas—oh, not the true meaning of Christmas. Overspending was one thing, but compared to the difficult experience of choosing gifts—running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and a pair of gloves for Grandma…, spending money is nothing. I felt too tired to think of any special gifts.
Knowing Justin felt the same way, I decided one year not to buy the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Justin. The inspiration came in an unusual way.
Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling （摔跤）at the junior level at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team sponsored (赞助) by an inner-city church. These youngsters, dressed in such worn-out shoes that shoe strings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, while our boys were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes.
As the match began, I was shocked to see that the other team were wrestling without wearing helmets (头盔) to protect their ears. Well, our boys ended up defeating them. We took every weight class.
Justin, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot potential (潜力) , but losing like this could take the heart out of them.” Justin loved kids—all kids, and he knew them, having coached little league football and baseball. That’s when the idea for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets and shoes. I sent them to inner-city church without leaving my name.
On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Justin what I had done and that was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and since then the envelope has become the highlight of our Christmas.
1.Justin hated Christmas because _____.

D. he disliked putting gifts under the Christmas tree

3. How did Justin feel about the team’s failure?

Sometimes, on grey, rainy days, your mood level is lower than on bright, sunny days. Would you like to know more about how the weather can affect how you feel?
According to a recent study, there’s a connection between weather and moods. Going to a warm place in the middle of winter can make our moods better. Pleasant weather has been proved to improve moods and memory. However, extremely hot weather can make us feel more tired and bored, spoiling our moods.
In the study, people who spent time outdoors in warm weather were happier than those who spent all day inside. They also found better memory scores when they ran tests comparing the two groups.
The best temperature for humans is about 22.2?C. That explains why people in southern California are happy all the time. To improve moods, a person must spend at least 30 minutes outside in warm, sunny weather. Spending time indoors when the weather outside is so nice tends to lower moods. It’s most because we don’t like having to be inside when spring time arrives. It can also make inside activities seem boring.
Maybe the activities connected with being outside affect our moods. Warm weather is connected with the beach, fun outdoor sports and so on. It brings back childhood memories of playing outside all day.
Of course, we can wake up every day and decide how we’ll feel that day. If it’s rainy, that won’t necessarily make us unhappy. We’ll just have to bring our umbrellas out and cheer up those who are feeling sad!
1. Warm weather can help improve our moods and ______according to the passage.
A. sight B. memory C. hearing D. height
2. According to the study, we may feel______ in extremely hot weather.
A. more bored B. more excited C. happier D. more pleased
3. Why are people in southern California happy all the time?
A. Because the weather there is extremely hot all the year.
B. Because people there don’t like doing sports.
C. Because the weather there is always cold.
D. Because the temperature there is the best for humans.
4. Warm weather makes us happier probably because ______.
A. we like spending time inside in warm weather
B. indoor activities are rather boring
C. outdoor activities can only be done in warm weather
D. warm weather is connected with outdoor activities
5. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Rainy Days Make Us Sad
B. The Best Temperature for Humans
C. How the Weather Affects Our Moods
D. Go Outside on Sunny Days

Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from different places around the world. Tourists and travelers often get to try some unfamiliar food. That is part of the fun of traveling. Here are four people’s experiences with foreign food.
David King is a Chinese student in France. “I never had cheese or even milk before I came to France. Cows are seldom seen in my part of China. So there is no milk or milk products. I drank some milk when I first arrived in France. I hated it! I tried cheese, too, but I didn’t like it. I love ice cream, though that’s made from milk.”
Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled?to Australia on vocation. “I was in a restaurant that was special in fish. I heard some other people order flake, so I ordered some, too. It was delicious! Later, I learned that flakes is an Australian name for shark. Now, whenever I see a new food, I try it on purpose. You know why? I remember how much I enjoyed flake.”
Chandra is a dentist in Texas. She is from India. “ I’m afraid to try new foods because maybe there is beef in them. I’m a Hindu (印度教信徒) and my religion (信仰) stops me from eating meat from the cow. That’s why I can’t eat hamburgers or noodles with meatballs.”
Nathan is from the United States. He taught for a year in China. “My friend gave me some 100-year-old eggs to eat. I didn’t like their appearance at all. The eggs were green inside, but my friends said the color was normal. Chinese people put something on fresh eggs. Then they put them in the earth for three months. So the eggs weren’t really very old. Even so, I didn’t want to touch them.”

An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.
When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore (药店) with the money in her hand.
“And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He’s really; really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said the salesman.
“My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought all my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man. “$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.
“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11, the price of a miracle for little brothers.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”

Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.
At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.
1. If ten people are playing musical chairs, you must begin with _______.
A. nine chairs B. ten chairs C. eleven chairs? D. one chair
2. Which of the following is not suitable for playing musical chairs? _______.
A. A piano? B. A radio C. A tape recorder? D. A telephone
3. The chairs should be put _______.
A. with the desks B. before the winner????? C. all over the room D. in a line
4. When the music starts, the players must _______.
A. run about the room? B. get down? C. walk around the chairs D. sit on the chairs
5. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The game “Musical Chairs” is not difficult to learn.
B. The last one can sit on the last chair.
C. The winner can sit on the chair.
D. If the person plays music, he cannot be the winner.

A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ?100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ?100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said, “I am going to give this ?100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.
“Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.
“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter (无论) what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value (价值). It was still worth ? l00!”
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE.
You are special and valuable. Don’t ever forget it!
1. Even though it was dirty, the money _______.
A. still went up in value B. was worth nothing
C. didn’t go down in value D. was still ours
2. We are always valuable to the people _______.
A. who pay us B. who call us
C. who hate us D. who love us
3. Your value doesn’t come from what you do but _______.
A. who you know B. who made you
C. who you remember D. who you are
4. The sentence “Hands went back into the air” means “_______”.
A. the students put up their hands again
B. the students put down their hands
C. the students put their hands behind their backs again
D. the students put their hands in front of them
5. Why did the famous teacher use a ?100 bill at his lesson?
A. Because he wanted to make the bill into a ball.
B. Because he used to drop a bill on the floor and stepped on it.
C. Because he was going to give the bill to one of his students.

In ancient China, a woman told the best stories. She married to the emperor (皇帝). Sadly, one day, this woman became ill and died. Everyone thought the emperor would soon find another favorite among his wives, but the emperor was very sad. He spent more and more time in his garden, and less and less time caring for the needs of his people. Everyone in the kingdom was worried.
One day, a priest (牧师) passed when some children were playing with their dolls. The dolls made dancing shadows on the wall. This gave the priest an idea. He knew the stories the emperor's wife used to tell. What if he could bring those stories to life?
The priest made a puppet (木偶) out of bits of clay (黏土). He painted the puppet to look somewhat like the emperor's wife. When the puppet was finished, the priest silently walked into the emperor's garden, carrying his puppet, a candle and a curtain. He placed the curtain near the emperor's chair. He placed his candle, his puppet and himself behind the curtain. He waited for the emperor to appear.
The emperor did not even notice the curtain at first. The dancing shadow drew his eyes. As the priest moved the puppet behind the curtain, he told wonderful stories as the emperor's wife.

Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations, and I learnt lessons from his experiences during our conversations. He always told me, "You should have goals (目标) like climbing the mountain. "Without the mountain-climbing, we couldn't have enough time to spend together, because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thoughts as well as to develop my patience. Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds' singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I didn't want to climb. In fact, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, "You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can't see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top can you see all the nice things, just like in life."
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later, I got to know hope and confidence (信心). I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as the crystal (水晶).
