• What do you know about spring?
• Which season is your favourite?
Dear Jenny,
Today is March 1. Spring has arrived in Shijiazhuang.
The temperature was 10°C this morning. This
afternoon, it reached 15°C. It was quite warm and the
air was fresh. I need neither my heavy winter coat nor my boots now!
On my way to school this morning, I saw some winter jasmine blossoming.
Here, people believe the blossom of this flower always tells the coming of
spring, so we call winter jasmine “the welcoming-spring flower”.
The days are getting longer and the sun rises earlier in the morning. The warm
sunshine feels good after the cold winter days. Every morning, I see lots of
people exercising in the park. Some practice Tai Chi. Others sing and dance.
Children run around or play on the swings.
We will have a school basketball game next week. My class is also planning
a field trip to the countryside. We will plant trees, enjoy the beautiful flowers
and play games. Wow! I can’t wait.
What’s the weather like in Canada? What do you like to do in spring?

• Would you like to live in a place where there are no winters?
• What do you enjoy most about spring?
When we think of spring, we think of
a season of fine, warm weather and clear,
fresh air. We think of new life, green
plants and budding trees all around us.
Everyone longs for spring. Spring is a
short season in many places around the
world. But in my hometown, it feels like
spring nearly all year round.
The weather here is neither too hot nor
too cold. The average winter temperature
I love my
hometown.
is 15°C. In summer it never gets too hot.
The average temperature is 24°C. The city gets about 1 000 millimetres of rain
every year. There’s plenty of sunshine too, with about 2 250 hours of sunshine
every year. Because of the spring-like weather, you can find hundreds of
beautiful flowers and trees anytime of the year.
Can you guess my hometown? Yes, it’s Kunming — “the Spring City”.

Dear Diary,
( 1 ) I woke up before the sun rose this morning. Today I would be a
babysitter! I thought about it all day at school.
( ) Next, I pushed her on the swing. Brian wanted to give her a push, but
Debbie said no. She loves her big cousin!
( ) When the sun set, I took Debbie home. I helped her brush her teeth and
climb into bed. I read her a story. At 9:30 p.m., my aunt and uncle came
home.
( 2 ) After school, Brian came with me. We went to the playground. I thought
that it would be easy to babysit there. I was wrong!
( ) I wanted to lie on the grass, but Debbie wanted to play games. We ran,
we climbed, we played catch and we played soccer. Finally, we had
supper. Debbie ate hers in about one minute! Then
she was running again! So was I!
( ) First, Debbie climbed up very high. I was scared
that she would hurt herself, but she held on well.
( ) I can’t write any more tonight. I’m too tired.
Anyway, it was a good day.

HI T
IT
• What clothes do you wear in spring?
• What interesting things do you see in spring?
Dear Wang Mei,
It isn’t snowing today, but there is still snow on the grass. In Edmonton,
the weather in March can be cold and snowy or warm and sunny. It’s a
little wild. The temperature can be as low as -15°C, but it can also reach
15°C. Still, sometimes it snows in April and May! The temperature drops
below zero on those snowy days. We probably won’t see any flowers until
May or June!
After school today, we played outside. We played “snow” soccer. We had
to wear our jackets and boots, but it was fun. Danny fell into the snow!
Maybe next month we will play in our shorts and T-shirts!
I like the Chinese name for winter jasmine. It’s interesting. Here, we have
Groundhog Day on February 2 for the coming of spring. In spring, many
families drive to the countryside on weekends. A popular place to go is a
sugar bush. It’s so much fun to make syrup.
I love spring because of all the fun activities. Also, summer follows it!
Talk to you soon!
Jenny
Culture Tip
Groundhog Day is on February 2. On that day, a small animal called a
groundhog comes out of a hole in the ground. If it sees its shadow, then
spring won’t come for another 6 weeks. But if the groundhog does not see
its shadow, then spring is very close. How does a groundhog know? It
doesn’t! It’s just a very old tradition in North America.

• When is Tree Planting Day in China?
• What are the basic steps for planting a tree?
It’s March 12. Li Ming and his classmates are on a hillside. They are planting
trees as a school project. A worker is there helping them.
Li Ming: Excuse me, sir. We are digging a hole. Is it big enough?
Worker: Maybe you should make the hole a little bigger. It must be large enough
to hold the roots of the seedling.
Li Ming: I see. Thank you.
Worker: Now, put the seedling inside, cover the roots and fill the hole with dirt.
Then pack the dirt around the new tree with your feet.
Wang Mei: OK. By the way, there is another group of people down the hill. Are
they also coming to plant trees?
Worker: Yes. Many people are worried because the environment is changing, and
they want to do something to help.
Li Ming: These changes are serious. When there is a dust storm in spring, it gets
windy and dirty everywhere.
Wang Mei: Ms. Liu told us the wind blows the dirt and the sand here from the
north. Nothing can stop the wind because there are not many trees left.
Worker: Exactly. A lot of rich lands
in the northern area have turned
into desert.
Li Ming: I suppose tree planting is
very important work.
Wang Mei: For sure. I really like
this project. It’s also a great way
to learn about nature.

to plant plants. Oh, and please

Danny, Jenny and Brian are walking
in a forest.
Jenny: I love this forest. There are so
many trees and plants. The air is
always clean and fresh.
Brian: Yes. Trees and other plants help
clean the air.
Jenny: That’s true. It’s pleasant to walk
in the forest. When the weather is
sunny and hot, you can sit in the shade
under a tree. It’s nice and cool.
Danny: I’m hungry! Maybe I can eat a plant!
Brian: Sure, Danny! Look, there is an apple
tree over there!
Danny: Is there a donut tree?
Brian: Donuts don’t grow on trees!
Jenny: Trees and other plants are important
to people. They help us fulfill our basic
needs.
Brian: That’s for sure. People use trees and other plants in many ways. The
trees and plants take energy from the sun and turn it into food. Medicine and
clothing are also made from trees and plants.
Jenny: The forest is important to animals, too. Many animals live in the forest
and eat the fruit from the trees. They eat other plants, too.
Brian: And plants cover the soil. That way, the wind and water don’t carry the
soil away. Plants also make everything look beautiful.
Danny: In a word, we can’t live without plants!

• Do you like gardening?
• What is fun about growing a garden?
There are many ways to grow a garden. You must consider many things when
you decide to begin gardening.
Does your garden get enough sun? That’s important. Most plants need a lot of
sunlight to grow well.
Does your garden have good soil? You can test it to make sure. To make the
soil rich enough, you can put compost in your garden. It is the best food for plants.
Is it easy to water your garden? Plants need water to grow strong and stay
healthy. Usually, rain waters plants, but sometimes there is not enough rain, and
the garden gets dry. You need to keep water nearby.
What else do you need to consider for your
garden? Think about animals. Rabbits, squirrels
and many other animals will try to get into your
garden and eat your plants. You need to make a
fence. It can help keep these small animals away
from your garden.
Finally, don’t forget to have fun. That is the
whole purpose of growing a garden. You have
fun planting it. You have fun taking care of it.
And best of all, you have fun eating all the great
food from it.
Hands-on Activity
Plant your own seed in a pot. Just follow these steps:
• Dig a small hole. Put the seed in it.
• Cover your seed with soil.
• Water your seed every day. It can’t water itself!
• Put it in the sun. Plants need sunshine!
Soon, your seed will grow roots and a stem. Then it will grow a leaf and
then another leaf. Your seed will grow into a plant.

PROJECT
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO PLANT?
Suppose you have a garden, what do you want to plant? Write a
passage and present it to your classmates.
Example:
I want to plant vegetables in my
garden. I’d like to plant tomatoes
and eggplants. I will water them on

• How many plants can you name?
• Have you ever heard about any special plants?
A flying flower?
Look at this plant. Its flowers look like egrets. What
are egrets? They are a kind of bird. Because this plant’s
flowers look like flying egrets, people call it the egret
flower. It grows in eastern Asia. Isn’t it beautiful?
Can plants be shy?
We all know that people can be shy. But how can a
plant be shy? When something touches this plant’s leaves,
they close up tightly. After a few minutes, the leaves open
up again. This plant is fun for small children to play with.
What makes a tree laugh?
When it comes to laughing, this tree is really funny.
This is because the fruit of this tree has a hole in it.
If the wind blows, this amazing tree “laughs”. When
people first hear it laughing, they are usually quite
surprised and begin to laugh along with the tree. It
grows in the middle of Africa.
Can a fossil be alive?
Look at this plant. It grows in the southwest of
Africa. Like most plants, it has roots. But it has only
two leaves and a stem. Its two leaves continue to grow
for its whole life. Does it look old? This plant can live
as long as 1 500 years, so people call it a living fossil.

Date: March 28
Weather: Sunny and warm
Dear Diary,
I have a lot to write about this week!
I want to write a report about agriculture.
Agriculture is all about growing plants and
raising animals for food.
To learn more about plants, we planted some seeds. I planted
one in a small pot. I gave it plenty of water, and it sprouted a
few days later. Soon, it grew a stem and a leaf.
Now, something new is growing at the top of the stem. It’s a
flower bud. It will open up and turn into a flower. Later, the
flower will become a head, and the head will turn into seeds.
I’m going to look after my plant carefully. I’ll put the pot in
the yard. There, it can get some sunshine. I’ll cover it when the
weather is cold. I’ll send some seeds to Li Ming. I think he will
love them.
Now I’m going to draw a beautiful picture of my plant.

Putting It All Together
I. Read the passage and answer the questions.
Are Plants Important to All Animals?
Plants and animals are living things. All living things need food for energy.
Without a way to get energy, they would die. Plants and animals get their
food in different ways. A plant uses the energy in sunlight to make food for
itself. Without sun or oxygen, small plants would not be able to grow into
bigger plants. If you put a seed in the ground and give it water and energy
from the sun, it will grow. It will grow into good food for other living things,
mainly animals. Some animals, such as cows and pandas, eat plants. Some
animals eat other animals. We call these animals carnivores. Still, plants feed
all animals! How? Think of a tiger. The tiger eats animals that eat plants.
Without plants, the tiger would have nothing to eat.
311. What are living things?
2. Do plants and animals get their food in the same way?
3. How does a plant make food for itself?

II. How do you plant a plant? Write down your answer and discuss it with your

April Fools’ Day is the first day of April. In most Western countries,
people like to play jokes on each other. When you play a joke on somebody,
you laugh and they laugh, too. But don’t play jokes that make other people
sad or mad. April Fools’ Day is meant to be fun for everyone.

they were playing a ________ on him.
2 Listen to this introduction about bears. Then correct the following
passage.
Bears are gentle animals. A bear usually has a large body with long, strong
legs, a long nose and a short tail. While polar bears eat meat and giant pandas
feed on grass, other bears eat both meat and fruit. Bears can run faster than
tigers and lions. They are good swimmers. They are also good at climbing
trees. The number of bears is getting bigger and bigger.
There are only seven kinds of bears in the world
now. We should protect them and stop them from
disappearing.
3 Search for more information about April Fools’ Day on the Internet
or in books, then do the following things.
1. Write down the information on a piece of paper.
2. Exchange it with a partner or a group member.

• Where can you usually see a tiger?
• Do you think tigers need our help? Why or why not?
“Save the tigers” is a group of
volunteers. These volunteers hope
to save the tigers of the world. At
the beginning of the 20th century,
the number of tigers in the wild
was around 100 000. But today
that number has dropped to a few
thousand. Save the Tigers group works to protect the tigers.
Tigers live in the forests of Asia.
They usually have orange fur and dark stripes. Tigers are symbols of strength and
courage. In many stories, they are brave. The tiger is at the top of the food chain.
It helps keep the number of other wild animals in balance. For this reason, tigers
are important to the environment.
In recent years, tigers have been in
danger of disappearing. Some people
hunt and kill tigers for money. People
have cut down a lot of trees as well.
As forests disappear, tigers lose their
homes. The number of tigers in the wild
is quickly decreasing and we must do
something about it.
These tigers live in a zoo.
Learning Tip
There are currently six types of tigers: the
Bengal tiger, the Siberian tiger, the Sumatran
tiger, the Malayan tiger, the Indochinese tiger
and the South China tiger.

• Do you think there is friendship between animals?
• What different animals have you seen living well together?
Dear Li Ming,
This week we learned about some interesting animals.
I used to think only the same animals live together. But yesterday I learned that
sometimes different animals live together. Do you know about the rhino? It is
big and strong. But it always lets a small bird, an egret, sit on its back.
Are they having fun together? Maybe, but mainly they are helping each other.
The egret helps the rhino stay healthy by cleaning its skin. It also makes noise to
warn the rhino about coming danger. The rhino helps the
egret get food easily. How? It scares small insects hiding
in the grass, and the egret eats them.
Isn’t that interesting?
Danny
Dear Danny,
What a beautiful relationship they have! Sometimes different animals get together
not just to survive, but also for friendship. Have you heard the story of Owen and
Mzee? Last week we read that story in class.
It’s a very sad story, but it has a very happy ending. Owen, a baby hippo, lost his
parents in a big storm. Mzee is a 130-year-old tortoise. The two found each other
and became good friends. They ate, slept and swam together.
That’s a true story of friendship! It touched many people’s hearts.
“How do they understand each other?” I asked
Ms. Liu. She said, “Good friends can show
they care without words.”
She’s right. Friendship truly has no boundaries.

• What do you know about Easter?
• Do you often search for information on the Internet? How?
I just got a new laptop. It is very helpful. When Ms. Liu asked
us to write a report about Easter, I decided to do all of my research
on the Internet. I entered some key words into a search engine to
find information on this topic. Here is what I found.
What is Easter?
Easter is an important festival in Western culture.
It’s one of the biggest holidays in many countries.
When is Easter?
Easter does not fall on the same day each year. The
date depends on the moon, but it is always in March or
April.
How do people celebrate Easter?
People celebrate Easter with their family and
friends. They eat delicious food together. In this way, it
is like the Chinese Spring Festival. On Easter Day, many children have egg hunts
and eat chocolate rabbits. Rabbits and eggs are symbols of new life. Children
believe that the Easter Bunny comes and hides chocolate eggs for them to find.
Culture Tip
The celebration of Easter is all about new life.
Christians celebrate new life at Easter. Though the
meaning of Easter has changed over time, the rabbits
and eggs remain. Children use baskets to collect
coloured eggs when they go hunting for Easter eggs.

The history of books is very interesting. In ancient times, there were no books,
and people passed on their knowledge by telling stories. Later, people learned how
to write and make paper. With paper, people began to write down their stories.
They wrote each word by hand. It took a long time to write just one book!
Then, the printing press appeared
and changed the world. With modern
technology, it was possible to print
books quickly. It was also possible for
common people to read books.

Jane’s grandma once had a dream of
travelling around the world. Jane wanted

maybe there was another way.
The next day, Jane went online to tell people her grandma’s story. She posted
pictures of her grandma on a blog. She asked people if they could help her
grandma see the world through pictures. After a few days, many people began
to follow Jane’s blog. They began posting pictures of Grandma visiting places
all over the world. They also sent their blessings and warm wishes with every
picture.
Grandma was very surprised when Jane showed her the pictures. In one of
them, Grandma was visiting the Pyramids in Egypt. In another, Grandma was
standing by the Statue of Liberty in New York. In a third picture, Grandma was on
the Great Wall of China. She was even
at the Sydney Opera House in Australia.
In the last one, she was standing in front
of Big Ben in England.

Computers Are Useful Tools
Computers are fast and seldom make mistakes. They can do many
everyday jobs quickly and easily. They are widely used in factories, hospitals
and banks.
People, such as scientists, writers, teachers and students, use computers
to do all kinds of work. But years ago, computers couldn’t do what they do
today. They were very big and expensive. Very few people were interested in
them or knew how to use them. Today’s computers are smaller, cheaper and
much easier to use. People use them at home, at work and even when they
travel.
Computers and the Internet have changed the way we communicate and
allow us to connect in ways we didn’t think were possible in the past.
631. Computers can’t do everyday jobs. ( )

English?
English is the language of international business. Do you know that
business English can be different from everyday English? In business,
people sometimes speak English in interesting ways. You might not
always know what they mean. Can you guess the meanings of the
sentences below?
Look at this one: Buy low, sell high. It’s a short and simple sentence.
Buy something at a low price, and then sell it at a high price. It makes
sense, right?
What does We’re in the red this month mean? Does it mean
everyone is wearing red clothes? No! It means the business is losing
money. Business people usually write red numbers below zero and black
numbers above zero. Pretty simple, right?
I am moving up the ladder may be difficult to understand. It means
a person gets a better job or a better position at work. If someone tells you
he or she is moving up the ladder, you should congratulate this person.
How about I have to beef up my report? We know that beef is
meat from cows. If you “beef something up”, you make it big and strong
— like a cow! This sentence means “I have to make my report stronger”.
There are many more interesting business terms including: He’s a fat
cat (He’s a rich person); and They cook the books (They steal money
by making changes to the company’s accounts).
Have you heard of any other business terms or sayings?

• Would it be difficult to open a shop without a salesperson? Why or
why not?
One day, Ms. Liu received an e-mail from Rose, her
English friend. Rose just took a weekend trip with her
husband to the countryside. She said they had a wonderful
shopping experience.
…
Along a small road, we saw a sign on a
gate: “Fresh Eggs for Sale”. We parked
the car and walked into the shop. No one
was around. Then I saw another sign:
“Help Yourself!” On the table, there
was a note: “Please take eggs from the
baskets and leave your money in the box.
We appreciate your honesty!” We were
surprised to find that the farmer was so trusting. I took my eggs and put
some money in the box. On our way home, I wondered if everyone would
be honest.
…
When Ms. Liu read this story, she smiled. She had an idea. She would help her
students open this kind of shop at her school. Students could take things from the
shop and leave money in a box. The shop would raise money for school activities.
It was a great idea! Ms. Liu believed that most people want to be honest. This
shop would be a good way for students to learn the value of honesty. The perfect
motto for this shop would be, “Take what you need. Give what you can. We trust
you!”

73Lesson 29: How to Push a Product
N K ABO U
T
HI T
IT
• What is important for pushing a product?
• If you had your own product to sell, how would you push it?
After a lot of hard work, you finally have your product. But that’s only half the
battle. Now you have to get people to buy it.
Is your product easy to use? How can your product improve people’s lives?
Why should people buy YOUR product? Remember, you need to make your
product stand out. So tell people what is special about it. How can you do that?
Here are a few suggestions.
Create an ad. First, study your customers’ ages, interests and other
information. Second, choose a type of ad — TV, bus, magazine, newspaper or
Internet. Third, decide what your ad will tell people about your product. Find
ways to catch their eye.
Go to trade shows and present your product. People coming to trade shows
already have an interest in similar products. They can experience your product,
enjoy it and even come to love it.
Push your product using samples and good
deals. People get to know the advantages of your
product after they experience using it. Offering
samples and deals will get you more customers.
These suggestions can make your product
really shine. However, good quality is the most
important thing. With a good quality product and
excellent advertising, you will surely succeed.
May I help you? What would you
like to buy?
Learning Tip
If you “push” a product, what are you doing? Well,
if it’s a push-pin, you may be really pushing it. But if
you’re “pushing” a product, you are trying to sell it.
74Let’s Do It!
1 Read the lesson and write true (T) or false (F).
1. Making your product is just half the battle. ( )
2. There are only three ways to push a product. ( )

Dear Li Ming,
How are you doing? Things are OK here, but school life is very busy!
Recently Jenny, Danny and I raised some money for our school basketball
team. I baked cookies and sold them all! I’m happy that so many people liked
my cookies. Jenny did a good job, too. She made a poster for our cookie sale.
Everyone knew about it. I sold out of my cookies in less than an hour! Can
you believe it?!
Danny is always crazy! He invented a new product — the
Danny Desk-Cycle. Everyone thinks it’s too dangerous to do
homework on a bicycle, so nobody bought it. He really needs to
improve his invention!
Brian
Dear Brian,
Good for you!
Selling cookies is a great idea to help others! Every year our school sends books
to another school in a village. One day, Ms. Liu had a great idea. She wanted
to help us open a shop to raise money for school activities. Maybe we can sell
cookies in the store. We can make them ourselves and use the money to buy
more books.
I’ll talk with Ms. Liu and some of my classmates. I think that
they will support the idea. Are we good bakers? I’m not sure,
but we know we must work hard!

My friend Sandra won the record for the largest book. How large
was it? It was 60 cm long, 40 cm wide and almost 21 cm thick! It
was full of her family’s photographs.
Brian has a book about world records. Some records are hard to

• Have you ever watched the Olympics on TV? What did you watch?
• Do you think the Olympics are important? Why or why not?
Ms. Liu: Yesterday I asked you to do some research on the history of the
Olympics. Did anyone find out when the Olympics began?
Wang Mei: Yes, I searched it on the Internet. The year was 776 BC. That was
about 2 800 years ago.
Ms. Liu: Excellent! Did anyone find out where the ancient Olympics began?
Li Ming: I know that! They started in Greece.
Ms. Liu: That’s right. The ancient Greeks wanted to have the best athletes
compete against each other. They held the event every four years in Olympia.
Wang Mei: But those first Olympics were very different from today’s. Women
couldn’t take part in the games.
Ms. Liu: Good point, Wang Mei. Married women couldn’t even watch the games!
Li Ming: Now both men and women can take part in the Olympics! I also found
out that the modern Olympics began in 1896 and took place every four years.
In 2008, China hosted the 29th Olympic Games. It was so exciting!
Wang Mei: The ancient Greeks would be amazed at how the Olympic Games
have grown to become a world event!

• Which mascot do you like best?
• What do you think is the same in every Olympics?
In the modern Olympics, some things are the same
no matter which country is hosting, and some things
change.
For example, the Olympic symbol is always the
same. The five rings stand for the five continents united
together. The blue ring stands for Europe, the red ring for America, the yellow
ring for Asia, the green ring for Australia and the black ring for Africa.
The Olympic motto, “Faster, Higher, Stronger”, stays the same for every
Olympics. And of course, the torch — a symbol of peace, light and friendship —
is always there.
However, some things are different. The Olympic slogan, for example, is
created by the host city, and it reflects the spirit of those Olympics. Do you
remember the slogan for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games? It was “One world,
one dream”.
Each host country creates its own mascot and
song. The Olympic mascot is often an animal with
a national feature. The Olympic songs are always
popular around the world. Do you remember the song
“You and Me”? It touched many people’s hearts.
Some things have stayed the same, and some
things have changed over the years. But one thing
has always been the same — to do the best and to
compete fairly.
Dig In
There are also the Paralympic Games, which have been held alongside
every Olympics since 1988. It grew from a small gathering of British World
War II veterans in 1948 to one of the largest sporting events of the 21st
century. Did you know there are also Winter Olympics and Special Olympics?

• Which sports team do you like best? Why?
• What is the most important part of a team?
At the 1992 Olympics, the U.S. basketball team defeated all the other teams
and won the gold medal. People called them the Dream Team. They had a great
influence on people everywhere — not just in the Olympic Games. A dream team
is considered to be the greatest team in its field. There are many dream teams in
the world of sports. Canada’s dream team plays on ice — it’s the country’s ice
hockey team. For Brazil, it might be the men’s volleyball or soccer team.
What is China’s dream team? Many people would say that it’s the diving team.
The team won the most gold medals for China in the most recent Olympics. China
also has dream teams in ping-pong and badminton. Time after time, these teams have
won gold medals for China.
However, there is more to a dream team than winning gold medals. A dream
team has not only the best players and the best coach, but also the best team spirit.
All of the players must work hard and do their best for the team. By working
together, they perform better, and they never give up. That’s what makes a dream
team!

Dear Li Ming,
This week in school, we had our own
classroom Olympics! Our class had
five different events — jump rope, long sit-ups push-ups
jump, sit-ups, push-ups and “Jump over the Dinosaur”. Everyone competed in
each event, one by one.
The events were fun! Sandra won first place in the jump rope event. She jumped
180 times in one minute without stopping. Lisa won second place in the long
jump. She jumped very far, but Kim jumped farther.
But my favourite event was Danny’s. He called it “Jump over the Dinosaur”.
It was a race. Each person walked on some paper pizzas, climbed through a
cardboard donut and then jumped over a toy dinosaur. We used a watch to see
who was the fastest.
What was the result? Danny won the race! None of us could catch him! But I
was close. I was only two seconds slower than Danny.
Brian was sad because he lost. He came in twentieth. He did his best, but he kept
falling off the pizzas!

Putting It All Together
I. Read the passage and answer the questions.
China Rising at the Winter Olympics
Fewer countries take part in the Winter Olympics than in the Summer
Olympics. It’s easy to understand why. In many countries, the weather is too
hot for sports such as skiing and skating.
China is a newcomer to the winter games. In 1980, China sent athletes
to the Winter Olympic Games for the first time. At the 1992 Winter Games,
Chinese speed skater Ye Qiaobo won China’s first Olympic medals — silver
in the 500-metre and in the 1 000-metre speed-skating events.
China is now a world power in speed skating. Yang Yang won China’s
first gold medal in the 2002 Winter Olympics. China is also strong in figure
skating. At the 2010 Games in Vancouver, Canada, China finally won gold and
silver medals in pair skating. This made China the undisputed champion of the
event.
951. Why do fewer countries take part in the Winter Olympics?
2. When did China first send athletes to the Winter Olympics?
3. Who won the first gold medal for China in the Winter Olympics?
II. Write, Draw and Guess.
Divide the class into two teams.
• Each team needs ten blank cards. On each card, the teams write a sentence using
comparative or superlative adjectives or adverbs. (For example: This tree is
bigger than the other one. This pencil is the longest.)
• The two teams trade their cards. One by one, the team members draw pictures
on the blackboard to represent their sentences. The teammates try to guess what
the sentence says.
• The team that gets the most correct answers wins!

The earth is a very special planet, and it faces a big problem. In the year 2010,
the world’s population was over 7 billion in total. It is increasing very quickly.
By 2025, the world may have about 8 billion people. And by 2050, the world’s
population may reach 9 billion.
There is another problem. People can’t live everywhere on the earth. We can’t
live in water, and only about one third of our planet is land. But parts of this
land are very dry. These dry places are called deserts. Some areas have very high
mountains. Others have a lot of snow and ice. It is not easy to live in those places.
There are seven continents: Asia, Africa, Australia, Antarctica, Europe, North
America and South America. Antarctica is covered with snow and ice all year
round. Luckily, people can live on the other six continents. On these continents,
there are green forests, fresh water and rich lands.
Oceans cover two thirds of the earth’s surface. The earth has only one big ocean,
but we use these names for its different parts: the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean,
the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean. The Pacific Ocean is the largest one.

David: Ring up? What do you mean? Phones don’t go up when

Brian: “To ring up someone” is the British way of saying to call
someone on the phone.
David: That’s different. There are quite a few differences between
your English and my English.
Brian: That’s true. Sometimes we describe the same thing in
different ways or use different words. We say “in a team”, while
you say “on a team”. And you use “washroom” or “bathroom”
instead of “toilet”.
David: You have “autumn” instead of “fall”, and you spell color
“c-o-l-o-u-r”.
Brian: There are also some differences in pronunciation and even
in grammar. I remember asking my cousin to translate things
for me when I first came to Canada. “Are we speaking the same
language?” I asked myself.
David: Ha ha! Did you know that there is American English,
British English, Australian English and even African English?
They are different, but they are all English. By the way, some
Canadians use the word “eh” at the end of their sentences. It’s
pronounced like the letter “A”. What does it mean?

In India, when people nod their heads, they mean “no”. And when people shake
their heads, they mean “yes”. But in most other countries, these things mean the
opposite.
A thumbs-up means “okay” or “well done” in most cultures. In Australia,
however, it is not polite. In Japan, it means “five”, and in Germany, it means “one”.
In most places, people point to things with their fingers. But in some places,
people point with their lips. They think it’s rude to point with a finger.
When Italians wave goodbye, it may look
like “Come here!” to Americans. But the
American goodbye wave looks like “no” in

• What do you know about North America?
• What do you know about other places around the world?
Li Ming wrote a report about North America.
North America is a large continent, but it has only three main countries.
Canada is the farthest north. To the south of Canada is the United States. The U.S.
is north of Mexico. Together, these three countries cover about 24 million square
kilometres.
About 550 million people live in North America. That is a large population,
but smaller than that of China. The Great Lakes are the largest bodies of fresh
water in the world. The Rocky Mountains are the biggest mountains in North
America.
Canada is the biggest of the three countries in area, but it has the smallest
population — about 35 million. People speak many languages in Canada. Most
speak English or French, but the third most common language is Chinese!
The U.S. is also a very large country, and its population is much larger than
any other country in North America. It has a population of more than 315 million.
The U.S. is often called America. People in the U.S. are called Americans. Most
Americans speak English, and many speak Spanish. Of course, there are a lot of
Chinese speakers in the U.S., too — more than 2 million!
Mexico is smaller than both Canada and the U.S. Most of the people there
speak Spanish. It has a population of more than 110 million. Mexican people
love their country, but many leave to live and work in the U.S. The capital city of
Mexico is Mexico City. It is a very big city.
This is a map of
North America.

Jenny: Today’s June 5. It’s World Environment Day!
Brian: It’s a special day to draw people’s attention to the environment. What shall
we do today? Look at all of this rubbish!
Danny: What does “rubbish” mean? I don’t know that word.
Brian: It means “garbage” in American English.
Danny: Oh, I see. There’s a lot of rubbish in the schoolyard. We should pick up
the garbage!
Jenny: Let’s do it now.
Danny: It would take too long. There are only three of us!
Jenny: We’re studying pollution in class this week. Garbage is a type of pollution.
This could be a class project! We can ask our classmates to help us.
Brian: Good idea. Each student could clean up a bit of the schoolyard. We would
finish cleaning in an hour!
(Jenny explains the plan to the class. All the
students agree to help. They wear gloves and
carry brown bags. They begin to pick up the
garbage.)
Jenny: Danny, you lost your homework, right?
I think I found it! Look at this piece of paper!
Danny: Oh no!

ground?
• Does your school have an environment club?
In North America, many students join
environment clubs. In an environment
club, students work together to reduce
pollution and protect the environment.
The following is a list of their activities
and advice.
• No-garbage lunches: How much
I’m a member of an environment club. garbage do you throw away after lunch?
Environment clubs encourage students to bring their lunches in reusable bags and
dishes. The class with the least garbage gets a prize.
• No-car days: On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car — neither the
students nor the teachers! Cars pollute our air, so remember:
Walk, skip, bike or run.
Use your legs! It’s lots of fun!
• Bring your own shopping bag! Bring your own bag when you go shopping.
It’s a good way to reduce packaging.
• Save water! Did you know that a leaky toilet can waste 20 to 40 litres of water
an hour? In a year, that would fill a large swimming pool! In environment clubs,
students fix leaky toilets and sinks.
• Save electricity! Turn off the
lights when you leave a room.
Turn off the television and shut
down the computer when you are
not using them.
Let’s work together to make our environment clean.
Could your school do some of these things?
116Lesson 44: Environment Clubs
Let’s Do It!
1 Read the lesson and answer the questions.
1. Why do many students join environment clubs in North America?
2. Why do the students take their own bags when they go shopping?

2. Students should not ________ paper.
3. ________ knows when life on the earth started.
4. He who talks the most knows the ________.
5. I couldn’t ________ the window because it was stuck.
3 Read the passage and fill in the blanks.
In some countries of the world, people have started to reduce the amount
of garbage they make. How? First, they buy ________ things. They try to buy
only what they really need. When you buy fewer things, you ________ away
fewer things. Second, they reuse things. They use things, and then they use
them again! Third, they recycle things. They make old things into new things.
People call these the “three Rs”: reduce, ________ and ________. The three
Rs help us remember that ________ is a problem.
4 Suppose your school’s environment club wants to make a poster
about littering and recycling. Can you make one? Here’s an example.
Stop Pollution!
We have a nice, clean schoolyard. Let’s keep it this way.
Don’t litter!
Always put your garbage in a garbage can.
Never throw it on the ground.
Recycle!
Stop and think before you throw something out:
Can I use this again?
Can this be recycled?
Together, we can help keep our world clean!

Danny: That’s right. Look! There is more paper than plastic. And there is less
metal than plastic. There is the least amount of glass.
Jenny: And the most amount is paper. It is a waste to use paper only on one side.
Danny: Hey! I found a toy car. One of the wheels is broken. I’ll take this car
home and clean it. Then I’ll use some glue to fix the broken wheel. When I
finish fixing this car, I will give it to my little cousin, Debbie.
Jenny: Nobody should throw away a toy like
this. It can be fixed. It’s not right to waste
things. Look at all of the glass. It can all be
recycled and made into new glass.
Danny: A lot of glass is broken. It’s dangerous
to leave broken glass on the ground. Once, I

I often check to make sure there aren’t
Do you worry about pollution? any leaks, and I never forget to turn off

Do we recycle at home? Yes! We sort our pop cans, beer bottles and waste
paper. A truck picks up our recycling every week. It is made into new things. We
reuse our plastic bags, too. We use them again and again, or we put other garbage
in them.
Cars and factories make the most pollution. I think there are too many cars in
Edmonton. More people should ride bikes or take buses. I ride my bike to school
every day. Unlike other types of transportation, a bike doesn’t make any pollution.
Buses make some pollution, but lots of
people can travel on a bus. Buses make
less pollution than cars.
In fact, if each of us makes a small
change in our life, we can make a big
difference to our environment. It’s not
too hard to protect the environment. We
just need to try.
We like to ride bikes. It’s good for the

• Do all the living things on the planet depend on one another?
• What can we do for nature?
The natural world is filled with living things. Living things start out weak
and small and slowly grow strong and big. You are a living thing. Each of your
classmates is a living thing. Flowers, grass and trees are living things, too. Bees,
ants, doves, dogs and cats — these are all living things.
All living things need food and water to grow. Think about yourself. When you
are hungry, you need to eat. You eat fruit, vegetables, meat and fish. They can help
you grow big and strong. You drink water when you are thirsty. Now think about
a tree. When a tree is hungry, it gets food from the soil. Trees drink water, too.
We are different in some ways, but all living things are connected. We all live
on the same planet, and we depend on each other. If we pollute the rivers and
oceans, fish may get sick or even die. Some birds live off fish. If the birds eat
the sick or dead fish, they may die off. Nature is a balance between all the living
things on the planet. If one species dies off, then another species may die off,
followed by another, and another…
We should respect the earth and all the living things on it.

Jenny's blog
This week we learned about pollution. I never knew that garbage was so
interesting!
On Tuesday, it was World Environment Day. Danny, Brian and I cleaned up
the schoolyard. All of our classmates helped. We took bags and picked up the
garbage. It was great to see everyone working together!
Later that day, Brian, Danny and I went for a walk around our neighbourhood.
When we saw garbage, we picked it up. Danny found a used toy car with one
broken wheel. He took it home, cleaned it and fixed it.
On Wednesday, we sorted our school’s garbage. We put on gloves and divided the
garbage into different piles: glass, metal, plastic, paper and everything else. Most
of the garbage was paper. People wasted a lot of paper! There was less plastic than
paper and more plastic than metal. There was the least amount of glass.
Today, Danny made a car out of garbage! He used a big box for the body and
pieces of wood for the seats. He used a bit of glue to put the wheels on. The
wheels were plastic lids. It was great!
We throw garbage away. But where does it go? Later this month, we will go on a
class trip to the city recycling centre. Thousands of tons of garbage are sent there.
We will see the workers sort all of our garbage for recycling.
I think it’s our duty to protect the environment. I am only one
person, but if I do my part, the earth will be a cleaner and safer
place. If each of us does something for the environment, all of
us will have a better life.

“Hazardous” means dangerous. Some hazardous waste is poison — it makes
people sick. Some products explode or burn very easily. Hazardous things
usually have these labels: “poison”, “caution”, “warning” or “danger”. What
can we do about hazardous waste? Buy less of it! And when you take out the
garbage, don’t take out your hazardous waste. Hazardous waste in your garbage
is bad for the environment. Why? Because we usually bury or burn our garbage.
This can make people and the environment sick. Many countries have laws
about hazardous waste. The laws don’t allow people to bury or burn hazardous
waste with other garbage. Many cities in North America keep their hazardous
waste in special places. Some have ways to burn it at very high temperatures:
from 900 to 1 100 degrees centigrade. Hazardous waste is buried two kilometres
under the ground in some places. That’s deep!

Putting It All Together
I. Read the passage and answer the questions.
Driving in Rubbish
Danny has been working all afternoon. First he fixed the broken car he
found. Then he washed the glue off his hands, face and legs.
Now he looks at the other garbage for recycling. “There are a lot of
interesting things here,” he says to himself. “I think I’ll make something out
of this garbage!”
Danny sees a very big cardboard box. “Somebody bought a new
television,” he says, “and they threw out this box. It’s so big that I can fit
inside it! Maybe I can make something with this.”
He looks for other things to use. He finds five big, round pieces of plastic.
They are the lids from ice cream pails. “I know,” says Danny. “I will make a
car. This cardboard box will be the car’s body. These ice cream lids will be
the wheels.”
Danny glues four wheels onto the cardboard box. “Hmm... I have one
more lid. I know! It will be the steering wheel. I can hold onto it and drive
the car.”

128Pronunciation
Incomplete Explosion 不完全爆破
在朗读一些单词和句子时,如果爆破音(即/p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/)后紧跟某些辅音,这些爆
破音只作出发音状,气流在口腔中稍作停顿,马上过渡到后面的辅音,不发生或不完全发生爆
破,这种现象称为不完全爆破或者失爆。不完全爆破不仅可以发生在某一单词内部的某一音节
内,还可以发生于两个相邻的音节之间或是相邻的单词之间。不完全爆破分为五种情况:
1. 爆破音+爆破音
任意两个爆破音相遇时,第一个爆破音不发生爆破,而第二个爆破音完全爆破。例如:
basketball activity September first time a good game
2. 爆破音+摩擦音
当爆破音后面出现九个摩擦音(/f/,
/v/, /s/, /z/, /θ/, /ð/, /ʃ/, /ʒ/,
/h/)中的任意一
个时,该爆破音发生不完全爆破。例如:
best friend loud voice plant vegetables big scare
a big zoo that thing look at this at home
3. 爆破音+破擦音
当爆破音遇到破擦音(/tʃ/,
/dʒ/, /tr/,
/dr/)中的任意一个时,该爆破音发生不完全爆
破。例如:
picture great changes good job
big tree a fast train cold drink
4. 爆破音+鼻音
当爆破音遇到鼻音(/m/ 或者 /n/)时,该爆破音发生不完全爆破。例如:
good morning lightning hope not
5. 爆破音+舌侧音
当爆破音遇到舌侧音(/l/)时,该爆破音发生不完全爆破。例如:
candle at last look like
Reduction 弱读
在用英语讲话或朗读句子时,为了节奏的需要,有些单词相对要弱读。这些单词大都是单
音节的限定词、助动词、be动词、介词、关联词和人称代词等,在句子中不能独立担当句子成
分。弱读单词中的元音多数会缩短音的长度或者弱化为 音。例如:
/ə/
an /ən/ but /bət/ or /ə/ than /ðən/ to /tə/
at /ət/ for /fə/ of /əv/ are /ə/ from /frəm/
Assimilation 同化
英语辅音同化现象指的是前一音节的结尾辅音与后一音节的开头辅音相邻时,前一个辅音
的发音受到影响而发生变化,或者两者相互影响发成了这两个音以外的第三个音。辅音的同化
1 12299使得音与音之间过渡更加自然。辅音同化属于较高级的读音技巧,在初中阶段我们可以大致了
解以下几种情况:
1. 在 /m/, /p/, /b/ 前, /n/, /t/, /d/ 分别被同化为 /m/, /p/, /b/ 。例如:
good morning/'gum'mɔ:n ŋ/ eight minutes/'em'mnts/
2. 在 /t/, /p/, /d/ 等前, /z/ 浊音清化为 /s/ 。例如:
What’s this? 中is中的s发成了 /s/ ,what’s 读作 /w ts/ 。
news一词本应读作
/nju:z/
,而在newspaper一词当中,
/z/
受到了paper中清辅音/p/的影
响,也浊音清化了,因而发成了 ,读作 。
/s/ /'nju:spe pə/
在used to中的used单独存在时读作
/ju:zd/
,但在used to这一词组中,先是
/d/
受到后面
清辅音
/t/
的影响而变成了
/t/
,而它前面的浊辅音/z/又受到了影响而被同化变成了清音
/s/
,
故used to读作
/ju:st tu/
。
3. 在非重读音节中, /tj/ 和 /dj/ 分别被同化成 /tʃ/ 和 /dʒ/ 。例如:
education /
1 13300
' edʒu'keʃn/ won’t you /wəun'tʃu/ could you /ku'dʒju/
英语语音同化现象属于语音音变,多发生在口语和方言中,和说话者的背景和个人风格有
很大关系。Vocabulary ( I )

1 49Grammar
构词法 (Word Building)
了解英语单词的构成规律,对我们记忆、使用单词都有帮助。英语构词的方法主要有三
种,即合成、派生(加前缀、后缀)和转化。
1. 合成词由两个或两个以上的词合并而成,又称为复合词。常见合成方式如下表:
常用合成方式
类 别 构 成 方 法 例 词
名词 + 名词 weekend basketball
形容词 + 名词 blackboard midnight
复合名词
副词 + 名词 outdoor outside
名词 + 动词 sunrise sunset
myself yourself
代词宾格或物主代词 himself herself
+ self (selves) ourselves themselves
复合代词
some (any, no) + one something somebody someone
(body, thing) anything anybody anyone
nothing nobody
2. 派生词是指在一个单词的前面或后面加一个词缀而形成的新词。常见的词汇前缀、后缀
如下表:
常见的词汇前缀
前 缀 构 成 方 法 例 词
加在某些形容词前, happy adj. (幸福的) — unhappy adj. (不幸福的)
un-
构成其反义词 important adj. (重要的) — unimportant adj. (不重要的)
加在某些动词、形容 appear v. (出现) — disappear v. (消失)
dis- 词或名词前,构成其 honest adj. (诚实的) — dishonest adj. (不诚实的)
反义词 order n. (秩序) — disorder n. (紊乱)
courage n. (勇气) — encourage v. (鼓励)
加在某些名词或形容
en- large adj. (大的) — enlarge v. (扩大)
词前构成及物动词
rich adj. (丰富的) — enrich v. (使丰富)
1 15500常见的词汇后缀
后 缀 构 成 方 法 例 词
-ment develop v. (发展) — development n. (发展)
-ing meet v. (遇见) — meeting n. (会议)
-er teach v. (讲授) — teacher n. (教师)
加在某些动词后,构成名词
-or act v. (表演) — actor n. (男演员)
-ion discuss v. (讨论) — discussion n. (讨论)
-tion explain v. (解释) — explanation n. (解释)
-ful care n. (小心) — careful adj. (小心的)
-y 加在某些名词后,构成形容词 wind n. (风) — windy adj. (有风的)
-ly friend n. (朋友) — friendly adj. (友好的)
week n. (星期) — weekly adj. (每周的)
加在某些名词后,构成词义相 care n. (谨慎) — careless adj. (粗心的)

反的形容词 home n. (家) — homeless adj. (无家可归的)
dark adj. (黑暗的) — darkness n. (黑暗)
-ness 加在某些形容词后,构成名词
happy adj. (幸福的) — happiness n. (幸福)
加在某些形容词后,构成副词 busy adj. (忙的) — busily adv. (忙地)
-ly
clear adj. (清楚的) — clearly adv. (清楚地)
3. 转化。英语中,有的词可能具有几种词性,而词性的确定取决于该词在句子中的作用。
例如:
That way, the wind and water don’t carry the soil away. (water “水”为名词)
Please remember to water your plants. (water “浇水”为动词)
The show starts on March 21. (show “节目”为名词)
Mary will show you the best way to grow roses. (show “展示”为动词)
Let me have a try. (try “尝试”为名词)
I will try to improve myself. (try “努力”为动词)
Marco Polo wrote a famous book about his travels to China. (book “书”为名词)
I will book tickets online. (book “预定”为动词)
不定代词some, any (Indefinite Pronouns: some, any)
some与any是表示不定数量的代词,意思是“一些”,具有名词和形容词的性质。
1. some在句中可作主语、宾语和定语。作定语时,后接可数名词复数形式,也可以接不可
数名词,多用于肯定句。例如:
Some want to be policemen, and some want to be artists. (作主语)
151
151Some of the little ones are chasing each other. (作主语)
I have seen some of your paintings. (作宾语)
I’ll send some to Li Ming. (作宾语)
I heard some new animals arrived at the zoo. (作定语)
Danny would like some water. (作定语)
注意:
some也用在征询对方意见、建议的一般疑问句中,表示委婉、礼貌。例如:
Would you like some tea, please?
Do you need some help?
2. any常用于疑问句、否定句和条件从句中,在句中作定语或宾语。例如:
The grocery had many traditional foods, but I didn’t know any of them. (作宾语)
Sorry, I don’t have any crayons. (作定语)
Did you have any trouble finding your way here? (作定语)
Are there any pandas here? (作定语)
You can take any of these books. (作宾语)
We probably won’t see any flowers until May or June! (作定语)
If you have any news about that, tell me right away. (作定语)
注意:
any 用于肯定句中表示“任何”的意思。例如:
You can choose any book you like.
if引导的条件状语从句 (Adverbial Clause with “if”)
从属连词if引导的条件状语从句和时间状语从句一样,用现在时表示将来。if的意思是“如
果,假如”。从句位于句首时,从句与主句间用逗号隔开。例如:
If we have a meeting for our club, I’ll book tickets online.
If I work hard this evening, I’ll complete my research.
If all of us make a small change in our life, it will make a big difference to our environment.
I’ll go with you tomorrow if I have time.
What will happen if he comes to our neighbourhood?
常见的引导条件状语从句的连词或词组还有unless (除非),as long as (只要)等。例如:
One can’t learn a foreign language unless he studies hard.
As long as you drive carefully, you will be very safe.
152
152宾语从句 (Object Clause)
在复合句中作宾语的从句叫作宾语从句。在某些动词、形容词和介词之后都可以带有宾语
从句。
1. 及物动词后由连接代词引导的宾语从句
常用的连接代词有:that, what, who, which, whose等等。例如:
I never knew that garbage was so interesting.
Take what you need. Give what you can.
Do you know who he is?
I can’t remember whose coat it was.
常跟连接代词that引导宾语从句的动词有:agree, believe, decide, hear, hope, imagine, know,
notice, say, see, think, wish等等。在口语和非正式文体中,连接代词that可以省略。例如:
Do you know (that) our basketball team is going to play in another city?
Ms. Liu believes (that) most people want to be honest.
2. 及物动词后由连接副词引导的宾语从句
常用的连接副词有:how, when, where, why等等。例如:
Could you tell me how we can get there?
Did anyone find out when the Olympics began?
3. 某些形容词后的宾语从句
常用的形容词有:sure, glad, sorry, happy, afraid等等。例如:
I’m afraid I can’t afford it.
I’m sure you’ll like this experiment!
注意:
宾语从句中,主句的谓语动词是现在时或将来时,从句的谓语动词按句子意思可用任
何时态;主句的谓语动词是过去时,从句的谓语动词多用过去时态,若从句表示的是客观
真理或永久性情况,通常用现在时态。
副词的比较级和最高级 (Comparative and Superlative Adverbs)
八年级上册归纳总结了形容词的比较级和最高级的构成及用法。副词比较级和最高级的构
成及用法与形容词基本相同,只是在副词最高级前的定冠词the可以省略。其构成和用法举例如
下:
1. 在单音节词和少数双音节词 (如:early) 词尾,比较级加-er,最高级加-est。例如:
hard — harder — hardest;slow — slower — slowest;early — earlier — earliest
Push harder!
The days are getting longer and the sun rises earlier in the morning.
2. 在两个及两个以上音节词的前面,比较级加more,最高级加most。例如:
carefully — more carefully — most carefully;happily — more happily — most happily
153
153It lets us get things done more quickly.
3. 下列副词的比较级和最高级的变化不规则,需特殊记忆。
well — better — best;much — more — most
little — less — least;far — farther — farthest
By working together, they perform better.
Mine flew farther than Jenny’s airplane, but Brian’s flew (the) farthest.
现在完成时态 (Present Perfect Tense)
现在完成时由助动词have (has) + 过去分词构成,表示动作发生在过去,但仍然和现在有联
系。在八年级上册,我们学习了现在完成时的两种基本用法:
1. 表示到现在为止动作已经完成或刚刚完成,但结果影响到现在。例如:
They have mastered all the bakery skills.
(学习烘烤的动作已经完成,这项技能的掌握影响到现在。)
2. 表示开始于过去、并延续到现在(或将继续进行或刚停止)的动作或状态,常跟表示一
段时间的状语连用。例如:
I have been in Canada for two weeks.
We have lived here since 2000.
另外,英语中的动词按其动作发生的方式、过程的长短分为延续性动词和瞬间动词。瞬
间动词往往是不能用现在完成时表持续性的,但这些动词的否定结构则可以用在现在完成时。
例如:
I haven’t seen you for ages.
My mum hasn’t bought anything for three months.
被动语态 (Passive Voice)
语态是表示主语和动词之间关系的动词形式。英语动词分为主动和被动两种语态。主动语
态表示主语是动作的发出者,被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者。例如:
People named the first passenger train the Rocket. (主动语态)
The first passenger train was named the Rocket. (被动语态)
They called this dance the pow-wow. (主动语态)
This dance was called the pow-wow. (被动语态)
被动语态由“助动词be +及物动词的过去分词”构成(be有人称和数的变化),被动语态强
调动作的承受者,其执行者有时不必提及,如要提及,用“by+动作执行者”短语。例如:
The Olympic slogan is created by the host city.
I am not so easily cheated.
These dry places are called deserts.
A girl was hit by a car at 15 Park Road.
Were these words written last week?
The date of the All-Star Game will be announced next Thursday.
154
154it 的用法 (Using “it”)
在七年级上册,我们已学习总结了代词it的七种用法。除了指代作用外,it还可以作为引导
词,具体用法如下:
1. 在句首作形式主语,将真实主语(通常是动词不定式短语、Verb-ing 或主语从句)移到句
子后面。例如:
It is not right to waste things. (代替不定式短语作形式主语)
It is no use talking without doing. (代替Verb-ing作形式主语)
It is lucky that the boy hasn’t fallen from the tree. (代替主语从句作形式主语)
2. 作形式宾语,代替真实宾语(通常是不定式短语、Verb-ing 或宾语从句)。 例如:
My father makes it a habit to take a walk after supper. (代替不定式短语作形式宾语)
They all consider it important protecting the environment. (代替Verb-ing作形式宾语)
Our teacher thinks it a pity that he didn’t pass the exam. (代替宾语从句作形式宾语)
