= The schoolbag cost me 50 yuan.
= I paid 50 yuan for the schoolbag.
2、当表示花费"时间"时,spend 句型可以和take 句型互换。

Li Ming was born in a small village in Henan. He finds great changes have taken place in his hometown.
In the past, Li Ming’s hometown was a small village. Most houses were low and small. They were made of mud and bricks. There were only a few narrow dirt roads in the village. When it rained, the roads became muddy and hard to walk on. There were no supermarkets or shopping malls, so villagers bought daily things in small local shops. Children usually played games like hide-and-seek or flew kites in the fields because there were no parks or entertainment centers. The school was also simple, with only a few classrooms and old desks.
Now, Li Ming’s hometown has turned into a lively town. Many high-rise buildings have been built, and most families live in comfortable apartments. The narrow dirt roads have been replaced by wide and clean roads. There are several large supermarkets, shopping malls and a big cinema. People can buy all kinds of things easily and watch the latest movies in their free time. A beautiful park has been built by the river, where people can walk, exercise or have picnics. The school has been rebuilt, too—it has modern classrooms, a big library and a sports field. What’s more, the internet is popular in every family. People can shop online, talk with friends far away and learn new things through the internet.
However, some problems also appear with the changes. The number of cars has increased a lot, which brings more air pollution. Some old traditions of the hometown are gradually forgotten by young people. To solve these problems, the local government has planted more trees to improve the environment and organized traditional culture activities regularly to help young people know more about hometown traditions.
Li Ming believes his hometown will solve the problems completely and have a better future.

Life in the future will be very different from life today. With the fast development of science and technology, our daily life will change greatly in many ways. People will live in smart homes that can control the temperature, lights and electrical machines automatically. You don’t need to turn on the light by yourself. The smart house will know when you come back home and turn on all the necessary equipment for you.
Transportation will also become much more convenient. Flying cars will be popular in most cities. People can drive flying cars to work or travel, and they won’t worry about heavy traffic on the road. High-speed trains will run faster than now, and traveling between cities will take only a short time. Even going to other countries will become as easy as going to a nearby town.
People’s ways of study and work will change too. Students won’t need to go to school every day. They can have online classes at home with teachers from all over the world. All textbooks will be electronic, so students don’t have to carry heavy schoolbags. Workers can finish most of their work online at home, which saves a lot of time on the way to work.
However, future life also brings some problems. If people spend too much time staying at home and using electronic products, they may lack exercise and face health problems. Also, more machines will take the place of human workers, so some people may lose their jobs. We should make good use of technology and keep a healthy lifestyle to enjoy the better future life.

C.Some people may lose jobs. D.Electronic products will disappear.
50.What is the best title for the passage?

例句:It took me 30 minutes to get to school. 我花了30分钟到学校。
The meeting took 2 hours. 会议开了2小时。
【易错辨析】spend, pay, cost, take
这四个词都有“花费”之意,但用法各异,区别这四个词的关键有三点:
一、看主语:spend, pay主语是人;cost, take主语是物。
二、看宾语:spend(有时间又有钱); pay, cost(穷得只剩下钱);take(只能花时间)。
三、句式结构,句子互换:
1、当表示花费“钱”时,spent、pay、和cost的句子可以互换。

= The schoolbag cost me 50 yuan.
= I paid 50 yuan for the schoolbag.
2、当表示花费"时间"时,spend 句型可以和take 句型互换。
例句: Jack spends two hours (in) doing his homework every day.
= It takes Jack two hours to do his homework every day.

五、阅读理解
A
Li Ming was born in a small village in Henan. He finds great changes have taken place in his hometown.
In the past, Li Ming’s hometown was a small village. Most houses were low and small. They were made of mud and bricks. There were only a few narrow dirt roads in the village. When it rained, the roads became muddy and hard to walk on. There were no supermarkets or shopping malls, so villagers bought daily things in small local shops. Children usually played games like hide-and-seek or flew kites in the fields because there were no parks or entertainment centers. The school was also simple, with only a few classrooms and old desks.
Now, Li Ming’s hometown has turned into a lively town. Many high-rise buildings have been built, and most families live in comfortable apartments. The narrow dirt roads have been replaced by wide and clean roads. There are several large supermarkets, shopping malls and a big cinema. People can buy all kinds of things easily and watch the latest movies in their free time. A beautiful park has been built by the river, where people can walk, exercise or have picnics. The school has been rebuilt, too—it has modern classrooms, a big library and a sports field. What’s more, the internet is popular in every family. People can shop online, talk with friends far away and learn new things through the internet.
However, some problems also appear with the changes. The number of cars has increased a lot, which brings more air pollution. Some old traditions of the hometown are gradually forgotten by young people. To solve these problems, the local government has planted more trees to improve the environment and organized traditional culture activities regularly to help young people know more about hometown traditions.
Li Ming believes his hometown will solve the problems completely and have a better future.

Life in the future will be very different from life today. With the fast development of science and technology, our daily life will change greatly in many ways. People will live in smart homes that can control the temperature, lights and electrical machines automatically. You don’t need to turn on the light by yourself. The smart house will know when you come back home and turn on all the necessary equipment for you.
Transportation will also become much more convenient. Flying cars will be popular in most cities. People can drive flying cars to work or travel, and they won’t worry about heavy traffic on the road. High-speed trains will run faster than now, and traveling between cities will take only a short time. Even going to other countries will become as easy as going to a nearby town.
People’s ways of study and work will change too. Students won’t need to go to school every day. They can have online classes at home with teachers from all over the world. All textbooks will be electronic, so students don’t have to carry heavy schoolbags. Workers can finish most of their work online at home, which saves a lot of time on the way to work.
However, future life also brings some problems. If people spend too much time staying at home and using electronic products, they may lack exercise and face health problems. Also, more machines will take the place of human workers, so some people may lose their jobs. We should make good use of technology and keep a healthy lifestyle to enjoy the better future life.
