They want to know what to study, or whether it’s OK to drop out of college since that’s what I did.:They want to know what they should study or whether it is fine for them to leave college without completing the education since I did it myself.what to study:This is a “wh-word + infinitive”structure used as the object, which can be changed into an object clause. “Wh-wo rd + infinitive”structure can be used as a subject, an object, or an appositive, etc., functioning as a subject clause (主语从句), an object clause (宾语从句) or an appositive clause (同位语从句).21. it’s OK to drop out of college: Here “it”is used as a formal subject, and the actual subject is the infinitive structure “to drop out of college”. The structure is “It is + adj. + (for / of + sb.) to do sth.”More example:1. It was very thoughtful of her to come to see me when I was ill.2. It is careless of you to make such a mistake.3. It is easy for me to see through his trick.22. That’s what I did: “what I did”here is a predicative clause (表语从句) introduced by “what”. The structure is “subject + be / look / remain / seem + predicative clause”and the predicative clause can be introduced by such words as“that”(often omitted), and other wh-words.For example:1. It seems (that) it is going to rain.2. The question remains whether we can win the game.3. This is why I refused to attend the meeting.23. As I’ve said before, nobody should drop out of college unless they believe they face the chance of a lifetime. And even then they should consider carefully.:Para: Everyone should complete their college education unless they are sure they have met the best chance in their lifetime. Even in that situation they should give it their serious consideration As I’ve said before: This is a non-restrictive relative clause (a “relative clause”is also referred to as an “attributive clause”) introduced by “as”(正如……的那样), which can be placed at the beginning or at the end of the sentence.More examples:1. As people expected, she was admitted to Beijing University.unless: “unless” is a conjunction for an adverbial clause of condition (条件状语从句), which means “if… not … (除非)”.More examples:1. I won’t leave unless the rain stops.2. Unless you have a good command of both English and Chinese, you cannot be a good translator.24. In my company’s early years, we had a bright part-time programmer who planned to drop out of high school to work.: During the early years after my company was started, we had an intelligent programmer who worked part-time for us. He intended to quit high school and work. plan to: intend to do sth. 计划、打算做某事1. I plan to make a trip to Beijing during the summer vacation.2. I will always be with you no matter what you plan to do.25. who planned to …work: a restrictive relative clause (限制性关系从句) introduced by “who”since its antecedent is a person and serves as the subject in the clause. The relative pronoun “that”can be use d here too.26. Quite a few of our people didn’t finish college, but we discourage dropping out. Having a diploma certainly helps somebody who is looking to us for a job.: A large number of people in our company didn’t complete their college education, but we don’t encourage others to drop out of school. It is helpful for those who want to work in our company to have a diploma.look to sb. / sth. for sth.: to depend on sb. or sth. for help or advice 指望,依赖1. They are looking to the teacher to suggest a place for their spring outing.27. High school and college offer you the best chance to learn many things and to do projects with others that teach you about team spirit.: High school and college are the best places where you can learn many things and do projects with others, which helps to cultivate your sense of cooperation with others.that teach you about team spirit: This is a restrictive relative clause introduced by “that”, whose antecedent acts as the subject of the clause. Actually the relative clause introduced by “that”can be used to modify both the person(s) and the thing(s), and the role of “that” can be either the subject or the object.More examples:1.He was the only one that I knew there.2. I haven’t been to the place that you have mentioned.3. The bicycle that was stolen last week was brand new.28. In high school there was a time when I was highly focused on writing software, but for most of my high school years I had many interests: I was deeply absorbed in writing software for a period of time in high school, but for most of the time at high school I took interest in many things.when …software: This is a relative clause introduced by the relative adverb “when”, which acts as the adverbial of time in the clause.More examples:1. There was a time when I completely lost my self-confidence, and her support and patience helped me regain it.2. I will never forget those days when we were together.29. But somebody handing you a book doesn’t automatically start your learning. You should learn with other people, ask questions, try out ideas and have a way to test your ability.: But it doesn’t mean that you are learning spontaneously when someone gives you a book. You should find some other people to learn with, ask them questions, see if ideas work and find a way to evaluate your ability.30. In short, it’s a real mistake not to take the chance to study a wide range of subjects and to learn to work with other people because education does count.: To sum up, it is wrong not to take the chance to study various subjects and to learn to work with other people, because education is really important.it’s a real mistake not to take the chance: This is an infinitive structure of negation, where “not”is placed before the infinitive.More examples:1. We are asked not to speak loudly in class.2. It is a good idea not to go out on such a rainy day.Grammar Nouns一、名词的概念: 表示人、事物或抽象概念的词叫做名词。

Functions:Focus 1: Introduction and Greeting.Focus 2: Writing an E-mail.B Procedures and MethodsEight teaching periods are needed to cover the present unit.1. Period One and Period Two:●Step One:a. Background information:Most westerners begin dating in their early teenage years. Young people often go out in groups and meet at school dances or house parties. After dating a number of different partners, many teenagers begin “going out with” or “seeing” one special person at about 16 or 17. The three most popular first dates for those over 20 are lunch, dinner or a movie. People are staying single longer than before. First-time brides are usually around 26 and grooms are about 28.b. warm-up questionsAt what age did you start dating?How do you like your dating experiences?What is your parents’ attitude toward teenagers’ dating?(The warm-up exercise shall not take up more than 8 minutes.)and explain language points meanwhile.Questions about Para. 1(1) What kind of teenagers were the girl and the boy in this story?(2) What did they want to do while dating for six months?(3) What was it that they were too shy to do?Notes of Para 1:so:连词,意同also.So引导的子句是倒装句。
正常的语序应该是:…and my boyfriend was so(also a shy teenager.)e.g. (1) My father is a teacher, so is my mother. 我的父亲是老师,我的母亲也是老师。
(2) My father teaches English, so does my mother. 我的父亲教英语,我的母亲也教英语。
在例(2)中,谓语动词teach属于do一类的动词,而不是be类动词,所以连词so后面用的是does。
date: 当date用作动词时,意为安排社交约会。
这个非正式的用法,在美式英语中尤为多见。
在本句中date是不及物动词的用法,但是它也可用作及物动词。
e.g. She’s been dating him for months but it’s still not very serious. 她跟他约会几个月了,但他们的关系还不是很认真的。
Date也可以用作名词或动词。
作名词时,它的意思是“提前预约的,异性之间的社交约会,幽会”。
e.g. My parents would not allow me to go out on dates.我的父母不会同意我出去与异性约会的。
此外,date还有“日期,年、月、日”的意义。
in particular: especially尤其,特别e.g. What kind of books do you like in particular? 你有什么特别喜欢的书吗?particular在这里是个名词,表示详情,细目等。
particular更通常地被当作形容词使用,表示“特殊的,特别的”。
e.g. There is nothing in the letter of particular importance. 信里没有什么特别重要的事。
come close to: get near to a point where something may happen 接近,将要e.g.(1) Tom came close to falling off the high wall. 汤姆差点从高墙上掉下来。
(2) The child came close to being run over by the bus. 那个孩子差点被公共汽车碾死。
通常这个动词短语的意思是“离……只差一小段距离”。
e.g. The boat came close to the shore. 船快靠近岸了。
to在词组came close to中是介词,因此,跟在come close to后的动词应该是动名词,而不是不定式。
make the first move:to be the first to take action首先采取行动e.g. (1) At long last he made the first move and asked the girl to agree to marry him. 他最终首先采取行动,请求女孩同意嫁给他。
(2) They waited for the enemy to make the first move. 他们等待敌人首先采取行动。
Questions about Para. 2(4) Who made the first move?(5) When and where did the boy do it?(6) How come the boy kissed only the cushion instead of the girl?Notes of Para 2:go for:to attempt to have or achieve sth 试图得到或完成某事e.g. (1) He goes for the world record. 他想创世界纪录。
(2) I hear you are going to go for that job in the accounting department. 我听说你要争取财务部的那个职务。
lean vt. & vi.:to be in a sloping position, bend; rest on sth. in a sloping position for support, depend on(使)某物靠在另一物上;靠,屈身;斜,倾斜;依靠,倚。
本句lean用作不及物动词。
e.g. (1) Lean forward for a while.向前屈身,并保持一段时间。
(2) A boy is leaning against the wall. 一个男孩倚着墙壁。
当然lean 还有作及物动词的用法。
e.g. (1) The farmers leant their spades against the wall. 农民们把铁锹靠在墙上。
(2) I…leaned him back over his stool…. and kissed him with my most assertive kiss. 我把他朝凳子往下一摁,送上了我最有冲劲的一吻。
(见Note 28)forward:ad. to the front 向前,朝前方e.g. (1) When you are driving a car you must look forward. 开车时要向前看。
