考点1不定冠词用法
英语中冠词有不定冠词和定冠词两种,常放在名词的前面,用来限定名词的意义,起泛指或特指的作用。

2.代表一类人或物。
注意：(1)不定冠词a/an与数词one 同源,表示“一个”的意思。a用于发音以辅音音素开头的单词前,an则
用于发音以元音音素开头的单词前。注意此处不是指辅音字母和元音字母。

As I walked 105 the city streets, I passed a young man searching through a small block of land thatcontained a mix of leaves and rubbish. I was somewhat puzzled why someone 106 him would be searching
through rubbish. Finding this a little odd, I asked him, “What are you searching 107 ?” He replied very
simply that he was looking for money.
After talking 108 him for a little longer, I found out that he had become homeless after getting laid
109 from his job. Since then, he had been working 110 part-time jobs in a doctor’s office and in a
food bank to earn some money. But he made so little that he lost heart. The man seemed fairly talented, although
he was a little dirty.
I told him that our thoughts create our reality, and I suggested that he not give 111 and think 112
a positive way. During the whole talk, what I stressed was that he was young and that everything was possible.
Although he didn’t respond 113 the spot, my sense told me that what I said seemed to have an effect
114 him.
