【知识点讲解】 1. 今天还是继续熟悉一般过去式。我们看到在课文一开始就用Last week 来点明事件发生的 时间，把整个语境都摆到了过去的状态里。有同学可能会问：那第二句也用到 She does not know London very well... 这里也是一般现在时态啊!我们要注意的是，这里说“米尔斯夫人不熟悉伦敦”是一个持续的状态，不是说米尔斯夫人在上周才不熟悉伦敦，而是她一直以来都不熟悉，所以这里前半句用的是一般现在时态，紧跟着的一句“she lost her way ” 又回到一般过去式了。 2. 还是第二句中“...and she lost her way.” 这里我们看到中文的翻译是“所以她迷路了”。这并不是说and 的意思可以是“所以”，and 还是“以及、和”的意思，这里只是用中文惯式的连词“所以”来翻译了这个意思而已。 3. 今天又学到了两个不规则的动词过去变化，大家要特别记忆一下：speak - spoke;understand - understood 。另外再顺便记一个：stand - stood ，站立。 Lesson73 Last week Mrs. Mills went to London. She does not know London very well, and she lost her way. Suddenly, she saw a man near a bus stop. 'I can ask him the way.' She said to herself. 'Excuse me,' she said. 'Can you tell me the way to King Street, please?' The man smiled pleasantly. He did not understand English! He spoke German. He was a tourist. Then he put his hand into his pocket, and took out a phrasebook. He opened the book and found a phrase. He read the phrase slowly. 'I am sorry,' he said. 'I do not speak English.' 上星期米尔斯夫人去了伦敦。她对伦敦不很熟悉，因此迷了路。 突然，她在公共汽车站附近看到一个男人。“我可以向他问路，”她想。 “对不起，您能告诉我到国王街怎么走吗?”她说。 这人友好地笑了笑。他不懂英语!他讲德语。他是个旅游者。 然后他把手伸进了衣袋，掏出了一本常用语手册。 他翻开书找到了一条短语。他缓慢地读着短语。 “很抱歉，” 他说，“我不会讲英语。”

Lesson 1 A private conversation 私人谈话 Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it.

I visited museums/博物馆/ and sat in public gardens. A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian. 'Then he lent me a book. I read a few lines, but I did not understand a word. Every day I thought about postcards. My holidays passed quickly, but I did not send any cards to my friends. On the last day I made a big decision. I got up early and bought thirty-seven cards. I spent the whole day in my room, but I did not write a single card ! 明信片总会消耗着我的度假时间。去年夏天，我去了意大利，参观完毕博物馆后我坐在公共公园里，一个友善的作家教会我一些意大利语，然后他借给我一本书，我看了几行，但是我一个字都不认识，每天我想着关于明信片的事情，我的假期渡过

Lesson 84 On strike 罢工 【Text】 Busmen have decided to go on strike next week. The strike is due to begin on Tuesday. No one knows how long it will last. The busmen have stated that the strike will continue until general agreement is reached about pay and working conditions. Most people believe that the strike will last for at least a week. Many owners of private cars are going to offer 'free rides' to people on their way to work. This will relieve pressure on the trains to some extent. Meanwhile, a number of university students have volunteered to drive buses while the strike lasts.All the students are expert drivers, but before they drive any of the buses, they will have to pass a special test. The students are going to take the test in two days' time. Even so, people are going to find it difficult to get to work. But so far, the public has expressed its gratitude to the students in letters to the Press. Only one or two people have objected that the students will drive too fast! 【课文翻译】 公共汽车司机决定下星期罢工。罢工定于星期二开始，谁也不知道会持续多久。司机们声称此次罢工将一直持续到就工资和工作条件问题达成全面协议的时候为止。多数人认为此次罢工至少会持续一个星期。很多私人汽车的车主正准备为乘车上班的人们提供“免费乘车”的服务，这将在某种程度上减轻对火车的压力。与此同时，有一部分大学生自愿在罢工期间驾驶公共汽车。所有的学生都是开车的能手，但在驾驶公共汽车之前，他们必须通过一项专门测验。学生们准备在两天后就接受测验。即使这样，人们仍会感到上班有困难。但到目前为止，公众已经向新闻界写信表达他们对学生们的感激之情了。只有一两个人提出反对意见，说学生们会把车开得太快！ New words and expressions 生词和短语
