1.句式提炼:As引导的非限制性定语从句
(教材P14)As Morrie says...
正如莫里所说……
[句式分析] 本句中,“As Morrie says”为As引导的非限制性定语从句,As指代后面整个主句的内容。

[知识积累]
as/which引导定语从句
关系代词as与 which引导的非限制性定语从句,其先行词都可以是整个主句,指代整个主句的意思,但as和which具有不同的词义和用法。
(1)as 引导的从句表示说话人的看法、态度、解释或评论。引导定语从句时,as仍具有“正如,正像”等意思,翻译时可以不译。所以,as引导的定语从句中常含有 see,know,hear,imagine,watch,remember,say,tell,show,expect,guess 等动词,这类动词与as 连用几乎成了一种固定搭配。as引导的定语从句可以置于句首、句中或句尾。
(2)which引导的定语从句对主句所叙述的事情进行补充说明,表明事物的状态或结果。which 指前面主句所提到的这件事,常译为“这一点,这件事”等。这时它所引导的定语从句与主句之间常含有并列、因果关系。它引导的从句只能位于主句后。
[名师点津] ①as常与 such,the same连用,as在从句中做主语、宾语或表语。
②在“such...as”与“such...that”结构中,as引导定语从句,而 that 引导状语从句。当从句中缺少主语、宾语或表语时,用 as引导定语从句,若不缺少这三种成分,则用 that 引导状语从句。

我认为对于年轻人来说,重要的是明白赚很多钱并不总能带来快乐,看上去与众不同并不代表不正常。

显然,我们应该花点时间简要回顾一下唐朝的历史。

Ⅰ.完形填空
How to help your kids find a purpose? You don't have to start with the really big questions.Quick, what's the meaning of life? Many of us may not be able to answer that, but that doesn't ___1___ our kids don't have questions or need answers.
“The sense that your personal life is ___2___ to you is a basis of psychological wellbeing,” says Michael F.Steger,director of the laboratory for Meaning and Quality of Life at Colorado State University.Not only that,it is tightly tied to being happier, more positive, more ___3___, more caring, more helpful, more resilient (坚韧), and more satisfied in your life, relationships, and work.
But helping your kids find meaning doesn't mean parents have to ___4___ all life's ancient mysteries, Steger says.The ___5___ is to understand the difference between the meaning of life and the meaning in life.
“We do not have to start with the biggest and most troubling questions about our lives,” Steger says.“We can start with trying to ___6___ how, today, right now, we are going to do one thing that makes the story of our lives more positive, or makes a positive difference to someone else.”
With kids in ___7___ school, Steger says, “At the most basic level, our best hopes for our children are that they feel their lives matter and that they ___8___.” To start conversations along those lines, says Steger, “You can ask questions about what they think their best ___9___ or strengths are, whether they have good relationships with other people, whether they care about others.You can ask them about times when they have made a difference, made someone feel better, felt ___10___ for doing something, or helped someone out.All of these kinds of questions can start a conversation about your kid's ___11___ way of being in and contributing to the world.”
In middle school, says Steger, “Kids are being exposed to ideas, behaviors, assumptions, and priorities that might be ___12___ different from the ones they have always assumed were true.” So for kids this age, parents can start conversations focusing on how your children's sense of who they are, how they related to others and what life is has been ___13___.
By high school, according to Steger, “We hope our children see how much their lives matter, see that they are at the beginning of an exciting and strengthening life story, and have some slight ideas about ___14___.”But the question of what you want to do with your life is too big for a single conversation, says Steger.Instead, he encourages parents to have ___15___, smaller conversations with their kids about how they view themselves and their lives, and what kind of impact they would like to make.
