Step 5 : Post-Reading
Think and share
I think that it’s very important to simulate people’s interest in exploring science. As we all know, the Interest is the best teacher. Also, one’s strong observation and imitation skill can make it possible for teenagers to create a reproduction of excellent quality.
Think about what else inspires people to invent things.
1. It (the title of the book) suggests that the present day is a new age for inventions.
[句式分析]本句中“suggest”意为“表明”引导的宾语从句“that the present day is a new age for inventions.”,从句用“陈述语气”。区别于suggest作“建议”时引导的从句用“虚拟语气”,从句谓语用“should+ verb”。
它(本书的标题)表明当今是发明创造的新时代。

Step 6 : Language points
2. So what is it that inspires us to invent things?
[句式分析]本句为“强调句”,其基本结构为“It’s+ 被强调部分+ that+ ...”。注意强调句中的连接词一般只用who(指人)或that(可指物,也可指人)。若被强调的是状语,也只能用that,而不能用when或者where,而且连接词不能省略。
本句中特殊疑问词what代替了被强调部分,故形成“What is it that +...?”。
那么,是什么激励我们去发明东西呢?
