I’ve been away for the past few years.(P77) 【解析】be away 离开 终止性动词表示的动作极其短暂,不能持续,所以,在现在完成时中一般不能和以since,for等引导的表示一段时间的状语连用。leave 在这种情况下用be away 代替。 e.g.: His mother left three years ago.

Even though it’s old, it’s full of interesting places to see and things to do.(P77) 【解析1】even though 即使,纵然;虽然 用法辨析: 1) even though 和 even if 两者均可用于引导让步状语从句,其细微区别是: even if 引导的从句是往往是假设性的,相当于汉语的“即使”“纵然”“就算”“哪怕”。 even though引导的从句内容往往是真实的,主要用于引出不利于主句情况的信息,相当于汉语的“尽管”“虽然”。不过,在实际语言运用中,even if与even though有时也可不加区别地混用。 e.g.: Even if it rains tomorrow, we won’t change our plan. He’s the best teacher even though he has the least experience. Even if / Even though she laughs at him, he likes her. 2) although和(even) though均可用于句首或从句之首。though多用于非正式文体中,较为通俗。 e.g.: Although/Though/Even though we all tried our best, we lost the game.

He really wanted to have them for his birthday. He sadly walked away and thought how to tell his mother about it. He knew very well she had little money. He decided not to go home at once, as he looked sad and his mother would notice it. So he went to the park and sat on the grass. There he saw a boy moving a wheelchair with his hands. Tom looked at him and was surprised to see that he has no feet. He looked at his own feet. “It’s much better to be without shoes than without feet.” he thought.

A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year. Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year. Chinese people are well known for being hospitable(好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table. Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired because she took some leftover food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and criticized(批评) the waste of food. What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food? Here are some tips: 1)Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home. 2)Don’t be too picky(挑剔的) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. 3)Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit. 1.

On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, my heart sank when I arrived there. It was out of what I had expected(预料). It didn't look like a school at all! The school had only three rooms, one was for Grades 1, 2 and 3, one was for Grades 4, 5 and 6, and the third one was for me. The children welcomed me warmly(热情地) on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level(水平). To my surprise, though the test was very easy, over half of the students failed, yet they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me. I was busy preparing lessons and reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hard-working children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better, and we are now good friends. I have worked in Longzhou for a year now. I’m very happy and the experience has been very useful to me. I love the small village and the children. In fact, I would like to go on working here. 1.The writer is a volunteer teacher who comes from _.

F Most of us have hobbies. Some like collecting stamps. Some like collecting coins. And some people enjoy collecting seashells. However, there are some people who have more unusual hobbies. Alfred, an old man who lives in Chicago, USA, has a hobby that is a bit different from most others. Alfred loves traveling, so wherever he visits, he collects a small amount of dirt or sand and puts it in a little glass bottle. He now has hundreds of small glass bottles on a bookshelf in his living room. There is sand from the Gobi Desert in China and sand from the beach in Miami, Florida in the USA. There is dirt from a farm in Australia, and another bottle with dirt from Yellowstone National Park in the US Rocky Mountains. Side by side, the hundreds of kinds of dirt and sand create an interesting contrast of colors and textures(质地). For example, the sand from Florida is white and fine, but the Gobi Desert sand is yellow. Alfred’s family and friends love his hobby. They think it is more interesting than just looking at photos of place.
