知識(shí)點(diǎn)撥
一、學(xué)習(xí)目標(biāo)：
1. 學(xué)習(xí)談?wù)摫容^不同的東西或事情；
2. 學(xué)習(xí)用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)表達(dá)曾經(jīng)做過(guò)的事；
3. 學(xué)習(xí)如何給別人提出建議或意見(jiàn)。
二、學(xué)習(xí)重點(diǎn)難點(diǎn)：
1. How about … ?
What about … ?
這兩種句式都可以用來(lái)向他人提出建議，表示“……怎么樣？” “你認(rèn)為……如何？”，后面連接名詞或者動(dòng)名詞（動(dòng)詞ing形式）。
例如：
How about going to the movies? 去看電影怎么樣？
What about a lovely dog? 一個(gè)可愛(ài)的小狗你認(rèn)為如何？
2. Why don’t you …?
Why not …?
這兩種句式都是反問(wèn)語(yǔ)氣，表示“為什么不……”，也可以用來(lái)向別人提出建議，后面連接動(dòng)詞原形。
例如：
Why don’t you go with us? = Why not go with us?
為何不跟我們一塊呢？
3. What’s the best gift he/she has ever received? “他/她曾經(jīng)收到的最好的禮物是什么？”
這里“he/she has ever received”是一個(gè)現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的句子，充當(dāng)gift的定語(yǔ)從句，省略從句引導(dǎo)詞that。
4. compare v. 比較；相比
compare + 名 + with / to + 名
用于比較的情形時(shí)，通常用with, 用于比喻時(shí)常用to。
例如：
Compared with (to) her twin sister Jenny, Fanny is tall.
與她的孿生妹妹Jenny相比，F(xiàn)anny高。
5. comment n. 評(píng)論；解釋；說(shuō)明
例如：
He made few comments on that movie. 對(duì)于那部電影他沒(méi)說(shuō)什么。
No comment! （對(duì)于詢問(wèn)）無(wú)可奉告！
6. personal adj. 私人的，個(gè)人的，親自的，針對(duì)個(gè)人的
例如：
a personal letter 私人信件
personal opinions 個(gè)人意見(jiàn)
a personal interview 親自會(huì)見(jiàn)
7. graduation n. 畢業(yè)；畢業(yè)典禮
graduate v. 畢業(yè)
例如：
After the graduation from college, he worked in a small company.
大學(xué)畢業(yè)后，他在一家小公司工作。
8. name v. 叫做；稱作；取名
例如：
What are the parents going to name the baby?
那對(duì)父母打算給孩子取什么名字？
Emily was named after her grandmother.
Emily是以她奶奶的名字命名的。
9. too…to… 太……而不能……
例如：
George is too young to go to school.
喬治還太小，不能上學(xué)。
Grandpa is too old to read by himself.
爺爺太老了，不能自己讀書看報(bào)了。
這一句型可用so…that…代替，而that后的從句多用否定句。
上面兩個(gè)句子可換成：
George is so young that he can’t go to school.
Grandpa is so old that he can’t read by himself.
10. pro n 贊成；贊成的理由
con n. 反對(duì)，反對(duì)的理由
例如：
pro-American 親美派
the pros and cons 正反兩面的意見(jiàn)
11. much too “太，過(guò)于……”，修飾形容詞副詞
too much “太多……”，修飾不可數(shù)名詞
too many “太多……”，修飾可數(shù)名詞
例如：
The street is much too crowded. 大街上太擠了。
Don’t spend too much money on clothing. 不要花太多的錢在衣著上。
There are too many monkeys for me to count. 猴子太多，我數(shù)不過(guò)來(lái)。
12. present n.禮物
present指禮物的一般性用語(yǔ)，gift是稍正式的用法。另外，present還可以作為形容詞，表示“現(xiàn)在的；出席的”。
這里有一首小詩(shī)介紹給大家：
Yesterday is a history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
Only today is a gift,
That’s why it is called present.

Ⅲ．閱讀理解。( A )In almost every big university in the United States football is a favorite sport. American football is not like soccer.
Players sometimes kick the ball, but they also throw the ball and run with it. They try to take it to the other end of the field. They have four chances to move the ball ten yards. They can carry it or throw it. If they move it to the end of the field, they receive six points. This is called a touch-down. It is difficult to move the ball. Eleven men on the team try to stop the man who has the ball. If the man does not move the ball ten yards, his team kicks the ball to the other team.
Each university wants its team to win. Thousands of people come to watch. They all yell for their favorite team. Young men and women called cheerleaders come on the field to help the people yell more. They dance and jump while they yell.
Each team plays ten or eleven games each season. The season begins in September and ends in November. If a team is very good, it may play another game after the season ends. The best teams play again on January 1st, the first day of the New Year. Many people go to see these games and many others watch them on television.

( B )Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures from their parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students feel that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any longer. They became dropouts.
It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers’ work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends-they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.
Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and things in the school bags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.
