观察以下课文原句并思考黑体部分的语法功能
1.I walk through the doors into the waiting area, where there's a familiar atmosphere of boredom and tension.
2.People sit uncomfortably on plastic chairs,looking through old magazines, all of which have been read hundreds of times previously.
3.I speak with the on-duty nurse, who tells me that Lara's parents rushed her to the hospital after she fell off her bicycle.
4.Scientific studies show that laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better,which means clown doctors can be helpful.

2.句1中where引导非限制性定语从句,修饰主句的the waiting area;
3.句2中用了“不定代词+of+which”引导非限制性定语从句;
4.句3中who引导非限制性定语从句,修饰主句的nurse;
5.句4中which引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面整个主句。
