Text I:

My Friend, Albert Einstein

Banesh Hoffmann

I)Pre-reading Brainstorming:

What do you know about Einstein? What was he like? How do you think Hoffmann describes Einstein as his friend?

* Hoffmann takes a different perspective.He tries to reveal some of the less well-known aspects of Einstein’s personality, traits that characterize him more as a man than as a scientific genius.Note: * Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:

1756-1791, Austrian composer, one of the world’s greatest musical geniuses.? Ludwig van Beethoven:

1770-1827, German composer, was one of music’s greatest geniuses.? The Nobel Prize:

Alfred Bernhard Nobel(1838-1896), a distinguished Swedish chemist and industrialist, provided for the award of Nobel

Prize in the field of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace, regardless of nationality.? The Nazis:

Nazism is a political doctrine of racial supremacy, nationalism, and dictatorship.Nazi is an abbreviation of German word for National Socialism.I)Comprehension:

1)Main Idea:

This profile(short, vivid biography, briefly outlining a person’s most outstanding characteristics: his ability, personality, or career)is mainly about Einstein’s personality and his incomparable contributions to science.2)Purpose of writing and Tone:

The purpose is to illustrate with anecdotes some characteristic features of Einstein both as a man and as a scientist.3)Organization and Development: Introduction(P1):

Using the word “simplicity” to begin the illustration of Einstein’s essence

Body(P2-19):

P2-4: About his modesty;P5-7: Einstein’s brief life history and his two great theories;

P8-11: About his concentration on work;P12-13: About his love of natural simplicity;P14-16: About his academic courage;P17-18: About his sense of justice;P19: About his youthful innocence;Conclusion:(P20)

Summing up what it means to have known Einstein and his work.4)Comprehension Questions:

1.Which phrase in the first paragraph explains the abstract notion of “simplicity”?---“going instinctively to the heart of a matter” 2.From the two anecdotes related in para.2-4, what impression of Einstein have you got?---He was a very modest person, never thinking himself any superior to or more authoritative than others because of his fame and achievements as a great scientist of the time.3.What, according to the author, is Einstein’s most outstanding trait as a scientist?---Concentration.Refer to the first sentence of para.9.4.Why did Einstein insist on working hard when he was so badly shaken by his wife’s death?---Working hard requires concentration, which would help him to dispel the feeling of sorrow.5.How do you interpret the sentence in para.11: “To help him, I steered the discussion away from routine matters into more difficult theoretical problems”?---Tackling more difficult theoretical problems requires greater concentration and absorption.This would help him temporarily forget the sadness caused by his wife's death.6.What revelation is made through Einstein’ comment on Beethoven and Mozart’ works?---As a simple man, Einstein takes it that beauty exists in the Universe.Such beauty is natural, pure, and simple.Beauty found is even greater and more admirable than beauty created.7.How did Einstein feel about the destructive effect produced as a result of the application of his E=mc2 formula?---This is something he had not expected.He was greatly dismayed by the devastating effect his formula produced once it was put into application.8.Do you think the anecdote related in para.19 aims to illustrate Einstein’s “whimsicality”? If not, what personality trait other than being whimsicality is revealed here?---He was not really a whimsical man.If he could be called a whimsical man, then his whimsicality came from the young heart and childlike innocence which he had managed to retain.5)Difficult Sentences for Paraphrasing:

1.This knack for going instinctively to the heart of a matter was the secret of his major scientific discoveries---this and his extraordinary feeling for beauty.(Para.1)---This natural ability of intuitively getting to the essence of a subject was the key to the great discoveries made by him in science.This natural gift and his unusual awareness of beauty.2.The intensity and depth of his concentration were fantastic.When battling a recalcitrant problem, he worried it as an animal worries its prey.(P-9)---His engrossment in ideas was incredibly intense and deep.When attacking a problem difficult to solve, he kept attempting to deal with it with great effort, just as an animal chases and bites a weaker animal it preys upon until the latter gives in.3.A dreamy, faraway and yet inward look would come over his face.There was no appearance of concentration, no furrowing of the blow---only a placid inner communion.(P-10)---He would look lost in thought, thinking about something distant, and yet meditating within himself.He did not seem to be in deep thought, nor did he knit his browsnot harmed by;not adversely affected by.Example: He got lost in the street for quite a while, but was none the worse for it.3.knack---a special skill or ability, usually the result of practice.Example: She has a knack of doing sums in her head, however complicated they may be.4.plead with---ask(someone)very strongly in a begging way.Example: The girl pleaded with her parents to let her go to school by herself.5.awe n.cause a feeling of amazement or fear.Example:

The magician's performance awed us all.awed adj..with voice qualities that showed amazement as well as respect and fear 6.the staggering-and altogether endearing request---the surprising and shocking, almost unbelievable, and yet very pleasant and affectionate request stagger v.---cause shocked disbelief.Example: His excessive conceit and self-confidence staggered all his colleagues.endearing adj.do something by oneself.Example: Tim solved the mathematical problem all on his own.be on one's owndistant in time and space, and in relationship.Examples: She is interested in the life of the people in this area living in the remote past.They used to live in a remote village hardly known to outsiders.Xiao Ling is a remote cousin of his.turmoil-state of confusion, chaos, disorder.Example: She liked to live in a remote village cut off from the turmoil of the bustling city.23.alert v.---make someone fully aware of(a situation);warn someone of danger or trouble.Example: It is necessary to intensify the campaign to alert people to the dangers of smoking.24.endeavor(British spelling: endeavour)---effort, attempt.Example: His honest endeavour brought him success.25.ineffable sadness---sadness that is too intense to be described Ineffable meaning “indescribable” is usually used to describe something positive that is too wonderful to be described, e.g., ineffable joy/happiness/beauty/delight.9)Translation Exercise for Practice of Language Points(C-E):

1.他按了按汽車喇叭以引起路上行人的警覺。(alert)

He honked his car to alert the pedestrians.2.信息工程的迅速發(fā)展是人類嘗試的一個突出實例。(endeavor)

Talk in a small group about a person you respect and esteem most, and later following the example of the text learned, write a short passage about him / her.

Text I

Preparing for College Lincoln Steffens

I)Pre-reading Brainstorming:

1.How did you prepare yourself for admission to college or university? Were you opposed to such examination-oriented preparation? 2.How did the author of the text, Lincoln Steffen, prepare for college? II)Main Idea of the passage:

In the passage, basically a narrative, the author intends to tell his readers what happens in the year 1884-1885: his failure in examinations and his discovery of the right way to prepare himself for college, which he thought was a period of great adventure for him.III)Structure of the passage:

1.P.1-4---His failure and the cause of it;2.P.5-12---His private tutor’s influence on him(to think and discover all by himself)3.P.13-18---He found the best preparation for college in the stimulating Saturday night conversations among all those Oxford and Cambridge men(P16-17: what he gained from the conversations).IV)Comprehension Questions:

i.From Steffens’s description of “the elect” in para.2, what has been revealed about himself?---He must be very different from those boys.To him study did not mean performing all the tasks assigned by the teacher without thinking and reasoning.He must be unhappy to be told to memorize what he was supposed to learn without a thorough understanding.He was motivated by a strong quest for knowledge, not by the desire to distinguish himself in terms of marks.ii.Where can you find Steffens’s critical comments on the school education he received? Was it at least in part responsible for his failure to get into university?---Mainly in para.3&4.He was not interested in those subjects which seemed to him irrelevant to his life, and the teachers failed to interest him in those subjects.As a result, he did not do well in them.This partly accounted for his failure.iii.What is the antecedent of the pronoun “it” in the first sentence of para.6? Apart from referring to its antecedent, what cohesive function does it perform?---“It” refers to the change that had come over him.“It” links the paragraph with the preceding one.iv.How does the man Evelyn Nixon impress you? Support your answer with information from the text.---A well-informed Oxford scholar, a good teacher, who knew how to interest his student in what he had to learn, a creative and original man, who was not satisfied with what was known, but was more interested in the exploration and discovery of the unknown.For supporting information, refer to paras.6 to 13.v.Despite their similar background, the Englishmen who met at the Saturday night gatherings had “no common opinion on anything apparently”(para.13).By which sentence in the same paragraph is this fact restated? Why does the author seem to emphasize this point?---“They could not among them agree on anything but a fact.” To emphasize the originality of these searching minds and the infinite nature of the pursuit of knowledge.vi.why does Steffens say that those wonderful Saturday nights in San Francisco were his preparations for college?---The conversations he heard were brilliant, scholarly, and stimulating, thus greatly broadening his scope of knowledge.And the way in which the conversations were carried on was inspiring, too.(Refer to paras.14 and 15)They were much more beneficial to him than the kind of school education he had received.vii.What did Steffens gain from the conversations at the Oxford and Cambridge men?---“Cultivated ignorance and objectivity” as explained in para.16&17.V)Key Words and Expressions:

1.driving motive(L.12)---the incentive / encouragement that urges them on;2.the rudiments(L.32)---the basics, the fundamentals(The word rudiments is always in the plural form when used in this sense.)

Text I:

Why Nothings Works

Marvin Harris

I)Pre-reading Brainstorming:

Have you ever got anything which fails to work? What are the possible causes?---Some possible causes of an object's failure to work: mishandling, overuse, faulty parts, faulty workmanship, fake product, inferior quality Notes: Library Work

1.The Porno Indians belong to a North American Indian tribe that forms the second largest tribal group in California, U.S.A.The name “Porno” comes from a suffix that the Porno people add to many words in their language.The Pomo women's fine basketry is the artistic triumph of the people.Pomo basketry includes small masterpieces as well as large, colourfully decorated containers, and is considered among the world's finest.2.In the summer, Eskimos used two kinds of boats for hunting and travel.1)The kayak Pkaiaek/ was decked over except for a manhole that accommodated one person.Such craft had frames made of pieces of driftwood bound together.The frames were covered with dehaired sealskins sewn with waterproof stitching.2)The umiak /'u:nugek/ was a large, open boat made by covering a driftwood frame with split walrus hides or sealskins.II)Comprehension: 1)Main Idea:

No matter how advanced the technology, quality demands intelligent, motivated human thought and action(l.13-15)and the cleads to a constant quality problem.2)Purpose of writing and Tone:

To trace the cause of the shoddy goods problem.3)Organization and Development:

(P1)Theme: No matter how advanced the technology, quality demands intelligent, motivated human thought and action;(P2-4)Some reflection about primitive cultures to help illustrate the theme;

(P5)In our era of industrial mass production and marketing, quality is a constant problem due to withering away of intimate sentimental and personal bonds.Key to Exercise of filling out the table(page 117): 1.Quality-control instruments need maintenance;gauges go out of order;X rays and laser beams need adjustment.2.Quality is not dependent on technology alone.3.Men made their own spears, bows and arrows.and projectile points;women wove their own baskets and...or fiber.And the whole of para.4.4.craft specialties adopted by different members of the band or village 5.management, the worker on the factory floor, the office help, the salespeople

Thread of Harris's causal analysis:

He first of all makes it clear that the cause is basically human rather than technological.Then instead of plunging immediately into such likely causes as unskilled labor and lack of responsibility, he turns to look at what made the artifacts of primitive cultures so reliable in quality, the very lack of which is the cause of shoddy products in modern industrialized society.Process: In para.3 Harris employs process to help explain the formation of social relationship between producer and consumer.The step-by-step explanation makes it easy for the reader to follow the author's flow of thoughts.Contrast: In the last two paragraphs, Harris employs contrast.The purpose is to reveal the wide difference in the quality of products made by the producer for himself or his kin, and of those made for unknown users.This contrast occurring towards the end of the essay naturally adds emphasis to the thesis.4)Comprehension Questions:

1.What role does Murphy’s Law play in Harris’s writing?

---Murphy's Law, which seems to be an answer to the question posed by the title “Why Nothing Works?” , is in fact no answer at all.But it calls the reader's attention to a phenomenon so common that it is often taken for granted.Thus it helps lead to what Harris intends to discuss in this passage: What causes things to go wrong so quickly? Can we do anything to prevent it? 2.Which sentence in para.1 tells us that Harris thinks Murphy’s Law irresistible?---The sentence “While Murphy's Law can never be wholly defeated, its effects can usually be postponed.” tells us that Harris thinks the law is irresistible.3.What is the meaning of the word “inputs” in “If these human inputs are assisted by...”---“Inputs”, as the compounding indicates, means “what is put in.” In this context, the word refers to the efforts made and responsibility taken by human beings, to the “intelligence, skill, and commitment” they contribute to production.4.For what reason(s)does the writer think that people nowadays honor the lable “handmade”?---People have a high regard for handmade products because of their reliability and their association with a more personal relationship between the producer and the consumer.5.What are the two developmental stages of “prehistory” in para.3? What remained unchanged in these two stages?---1)People made things for themselves and for their close kin.2)People obtained many items through barter and trade.The connection between the producer and the consumer remained intimate, permanent, and caring.6.Is there a topic sentence of para.4? What function does this para.perform in the passage?---No.Not within the paragraph.The whole paragraph is an illustration of the sort of intimate relationship between the producer and the consumer mentioned in the previous paragraph.7.What is the cause of shoddy goods?---He has stated it explicitly in para.5---“...because the intimate sentimental and personal bonds which once made us responsible to each other and to our products have withered away.” 8.Where is the thesis statement?---Last sentence of the first paragraph.9.What is your personal view of the cause of shoddy goods?---Open to discussion.5)Difficult Sentences for paraphrasing

1.Much of human existence consists of efforts aimed at making sure that things don’t go wrong, fall apart, break down, or stop running until a decent interval has elapsed after their manufacture.---People spend much of their lifetime trying hard to keep things in good shape.They think a product, after leaving its factory, should last at least for a reasonably long period before ceasing to work.2.But gadgets and sampling alone will never do the trick since these items are also subject to Murphy’s Law.---Quality-control instruments and testing devices are also governed by Murphy's Law, so they are not reliable.3.A single visit to a museum which displays artifacts史前古器物 used by simple preindustrial societies is sufficient to dispel the notion that quality is dependent on technology.---Look at the artifacts of the pre-industrial era exhibited in a museum and you will see that technology is not the factor that decides the quality of these items.4.In unskilled or uncaring hands a handmade basket or boat can fall apart quickly as basket or boats made by machines.---If a handmade basket or boat is made by an inexperienced or irresponsible worker, it may break down as easily as machine-made baskets or boats.5.I rather think that the reason we honor the label “handmade” is because it evokes not a technological relationship between producer and product but a social relationship between producer and consumer.---My opinion is that it is the social relationship between producer and consumer rather than the technological relationship between producer and product that makes “handmade” items so highly regarded.6)Difficult Sentences for Translation(E-C):

7)Key Words and Expressions:a

1.savant(l.1)---/s'vant/ a man of learning, especially a person with detailed knowledge in some specialized field 2.corollary(l.2)---an immediate inference from a proved proposition 3.forestall(l.7)---defeat, prevent by prior measures 4.commitment(l.8)---a pledge to follow certain beliefs or a certain course of action;devotion(to duty etc.)5.artifact(l.16)---a usually small object(as a tool or an ornament)showing human workmanship that has special historical interest 6.evoke(l.28)---bring to mind 7.projectile point(l.32)---the tip of a weapon that is thrust forward;spear or arrowhead 8.band(l.35)---a group of people formed for some common purpose and often with a leader 9.barter(l.36)---trade by exchanging one commodity for another 10.alienation(l.58)---a withdrawing or separation of a person from an object or position of former attachment;a feeling of not belonging to or being part of one's surroundings 8)Key Language Points:

1.corollary---an idea, an argument, or a fact that naturally follows something else Corollaries to Murphy's Law suggest themselves as clues to the shoddy goods problem.the act of pledging or devoting(oneself)to a course of action.Example The teacher's commitment(responsibility)is more than imparting knowledge.A person is committed if he devotes himself to a certain cause, e.g., a committed educationist.5.maintenance---the act of keeping something in good order/condition by regularly checking it.Example: You may be able to afford a second-hand automobile, but its maintenance may cost you a lot.6.artifact---an object that is made by man, such as a tool or a decoration, especially one that is of historical interest.Example: Various artifacts of prehistoric times were discovered during the excavation.7.dispel---remove(false belief, doubt, fear)by proving them wrong.Example: His encouraging words dispelled all my doubts about my own inability.8.we honor the label “handmade”---we show respect for/think much of the tag which says that the article is made by hand 9.evoke---bring forth, call up, cause something to be remembered or expressed.Example The songs evoked memories of my school days.10.the intimate sentimental and personal bonds---the close/familiar emotional and person-to-person relationship/connection 11.wither---become weaker or shrink.Plants, trees, flowers may all wither away, and so may one's hopes, when one becomes hopeless.12.the women and men involved in...---the women and men taking part in...be involved in---be as a necessary part in.Example: Are you involved in your class's new project? 13.alienation---a feeling of not belonging to or not being a part of one's s surroundings.Example The foreman's haughtiness caused alienation from work among the workers.14.sabotage---intentional damage to machines, buildings, etc.carried out secretly to weaken a government, an enemy, or as a protest.Example: All attempts at sabotage must be mercilessly crushed

1)pardon用作動詞，后面既可以跟賓語，也可以跟雙賓語；pardon sb.for doing sth.意為―原諒/寬恕某人做某事‖

e.g.Can you pardon me for not passing the exam, Mom? 2)在沒有聽懂對方的話，請對方重復一 下時也可說 pardon。e.g.Pardon? I’m sorry I can’t follow you.(3)I’m excited to try the rides!

excited和 exciting的區(qū)別: 1)excited意為―激動的；興奮的‖，作表語時，主語通常是人；作定語時，常用來修飾人，說明激動的表情。

e.g.All of us were excited when we heard the good news.The excited child opened his present quickly.2)exciting意為―激動人心的‖，作表語時，主語通常是物；作定語時，常用來修飾物。e.g.The movie is very exciting.My father told me an exciting story.(4)I mean … you know, a washroom or bathroom.mean作動詞有以下含義：

② 打擾了，你知道我在哪能買到一些郵票嗎？ ③ 我想知道公園今天什么時候關(guān)門。④ 銀行和超市之間有一個餐館。2)Role-play the conversation in 2d.Step 2 Presentation 1)Show a picture of fun park.Ask students: Are you excited to try these in the fun park? 2)Show a ride to them and say: How do you think the ride? Is it fun or scary? Do you want to have a try? Step 3 Reading 1)Read the conversation in 3a quickly and true or false the sentences.① Alice and He Wei are in Water World.② The new ride looks scary.③ Alice was scary at first.④ Alice thinks the new ride is actually fun.⑤ He Wei thinks Fun Times Park restaurant severs delicious food.⑥ A rock band plays in Water World Restaurant every evening.⑦ Alice and He Wei can go later to the restaurant.2)Read the conversation again and answer the questions in 3a.1.Why did Alice not want to go on the new ride? How did she feel after the ride? 2.What is special about Uncle Bob’s restaurant?

3.Should Alice and He Wei get there early for dinner? Why? Step 4 Practice Rewrite them in a different way.e.g.I wonder where we should go next.Could you tell me where we could go next? Check the answers with the whole class.Step 6 Language points 1.I was scared at first, but shouting did help.此句相當于I was scared at first, but shouting really helped.原句是一種表現(xiàn)強調(diào)的句式，英語中，可用助動詞do對謂語動詞進行強調(diào)，構(gòu)成強調(diào)句。e.g.Please do be careful.請一定小心。I do agree with you.我完全同意你的意見。

He did warn you other day, remember? 他前兩天就告誡過你，還記得嗎？ 2.You never know until you try something.try的用法

1)做名詞 have a try 試一試

e.g.Why not have a try? 為什么不試一試？ 2)做動詞

(1)try to do sth.努力做某事 e.g.Well, we’ll try to finish the homework in time.那好。我們爭取及時完成作業(yè)。

(2)try doing sth.表示嘗試著去做某事

e.g.--I usually go there by train.我通常乘火車去那兒。

--Why not try going by boat for a change? 為什么不換乘船呢?(3)try one’s best 盡某人最大的努力 e.g.Thank you.I will try my best.謝謝你。我會盡力而為的。

3.I suggest Water City Restaurant in Water World.suggest作動詞，可意為―顯示；間接表明‖，后可接賓語從句。e.g.His behavior suggested(that)he was a kind man.他的行為顯示他是個好人。

suggest作―建議‖講時，應注意以下兩點： 1)suggest doing sth.建議做某事 e.g.I suggested going home.我建議回家。

2)suggest后接從句時，從句常用虛擬語氣，謂語由―should +動詞原形‖構(gòu)成，should可以省略。

e.g.I suggested that we should go home.我建議我們回家。另外，suggestion是suggest的名詞形式，作―建議‖講時，是可數(shù)名詞。e.g.Do you have any suggestions? 你有什么建議嗎？

4.The restaurant is always busy, at that time so come a little earlier to get a table.用于―就餐‖的語境時，形容詞busy相當于―吃飯人多；餐廳擁擠‖的意思；動詞短語to get a table類似于漢語―定餐桌；占位子‖等意思。Step 7 Homework 1.背誦3a。

2.用―Could you tell me … ?‖寫三個問路的句子。

第三課時Section A 3(Grammar focus-4c)Step 1 Revision 1.How did Alice and He Wei think of the new ride？Students say the sentences together?

語序：無論主句是陳述句還是疑問句，也無論主從句間是什么引導詞，賓語從句一律用陳述語序，即―引導詞+主語+謂語+其它‖。如：Could you tell me where Wei Fang lives? 時態(tài)

1.如果主句是一般現(xiàn)在時或一般將來時，賓語從句的時態(tài)不受限制，可根據(jù)實際表達的需要來確定。如：

Jenny knows the man was flying a kite at that time.You will understand why I did it one day.總有一天你會明白我為什么那樣做。

2.如果主句是一般過去時，賓語從句用過去時態(tài)的某種形式。如： I thought he had gone to town that day.我以為他那天進城去了。

3.如果賓語從句敘述的是客觀事實、自然現(xiàn)象或科學真理等，從句不受主句時態(tài)的限制，用一般現(xiàn)在時。如： He said time is money.他說時間就是金錢。3）Practice 1.He asked ________ for the computer.A.did I pay how much B.I paid how much C.how much did I pay D.how much I paid 2.―Have you seen the film?‖ he asked me.He asked me _______.A.had I seen the film B.have I seen the film C.if I have seen the film D.whether I had seen the film 3.―You’ve already got well, haven’t you?‖ she asked.She asked ______.A.if I have already got well, hadn’t you B.whether I had already got well C.have I already got well D.had I already got well.4.He asked, ―How are you getting along?‖ He asked _______.A.how am I getting along B.how are you getting along C.how I was getting along D.how was I getting along 5.He asked me _____ told me the accident.A.whom B.which C.who D.whose 6.She asked me if I knew ______.A.whose pen is it B.whose pen it was C.whose pen it is D.whose pen was it Keys: DDBCCB Step 3 Function: Ask for information politely and follow directions 1)問路時應注意

① 問路時應首先說一聲：―Excuse me.‖這樣可以引起對方的注意，又不失禮貌。

② 當你沒聽清時，你可以說一聲―Excuse me, would you please say it again?‖(對不起，請您再說一遍好嗎?)或―I beg your pardon?‖(對不起，請再說一遍好嗎?)等，禮貌地要求對方重復一遍。

③ 問完路后，千萬不要忘記向?qū)Ψ秸f句―Thank you for helping me.‖ 或―Thank you.‖

④ 問路時經(jīng)常會用到―向左(右)拐‖這樣的表達，英語對此有兩種常見的說法，即turn left(right)或turn to the left(right)。表示 ―在左(右)邊‖，英語用介詞on或at均可。2）用英語問路及其回答

① Excuse me, can you tell me where the railway station is? 打擾一下，請問火車站在哪兒? ② Excuse me, but can you tell me the way to the train station?

勞駕，請問去火車站怎么走? ③ Excuse me, could you tell me which is the way to the nearest hospital? 勞駕，請問去最近的醫(yī)院怎么走? ④ Excuse me, would you please show me the way to the post office? 請告訴我去郵局怎么走好嗎? ⑤ Excuse me, would you mind telling me the way to the police station? 勞駕，請告訴我去警察局怎么走好嗎？

2.It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly.情態(tài)動詞might 表達一種可能性及推測的不確定性，意思與表達可能性的may相當，表示―有可能，也許會‖，但語氣更加委婉，更不確定。e.g.He might come, but it’s very unlikely.他也許會來，但非?？坎蛔　?/p>

3.However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations.it作形式主語 【梳理】 在英語中，如果主語是較長的動詞不定式或一個句子，為了保持句子結(jié)構(gòu)的平衡，避免頭重腳輕，通常用it作形式主語放在句首，而把真正的主語放在句尾。常見的句型有：

1)It is + adj.(+ for + sb.)+ to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容詞有important, difficult, dangerous, necessary, useful, possible等，用來對to do sth.進行說明。如： It’s difficult for us to finish the work in an hour.2)It is + adj.+ of + sb.+ to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容詞有g(shù)ood, kind, nice, clever, wise等，用來對sb.的性格、品質(zhì)等進行說明。如：It’s kind of you to say so.Step 10 Exercises 請根據(jù)漢語意思完成下列英語句子（每空一詞）。1.對他來說，回答那個問題是十分困難的。It’s very hard ____ him ____ _______ that question.2.你這樣說真是太好了。
