22 Careful reading to solve difficult points

23 本模块的 careful reading 主要是针对句型和 部分短语的解释,教师可以根据学生的预 习情况来选择性讲解。 为了引导学生进行自主学习,自己查找相 关资料学习新单词,这里不对词汇做解释。 但为了方便,在每个单元的 language points 板块中会对本单元的词汇做一个重点 讲解。

24 Well, it’s what we do in the West. (P34) what we do in the West 为名词性从句, 在句 中作表语,也可称为表语从句。连接表语 从句的连接词有: that, what, who, when, where, which, why, whether, how 等。表语 从句要用陈述语序。如: This book is just what I am looking for. The question is when he can arrive here.

25 It’s rude (not) to do sth. It’s strange (not) to do sth. It’s time (for sb) to do sth. It’s rude of you to talk to your mother like that. It’s strange not to open the door at this time. It’s funny doing sth. have trouble/difficulty (in) doing sth. It’s really funny watching the foreigners saying Chinese tongue twisters.

26 So what other things do you do in your country that are different from other countries? (P35) 句中 that 引导的是定语从句,修饰先行 词 things 。 在英语中,有时候为了句子表达更清晰 流畅,修饰语与被修饰词可以相隔很远, 这时候先行词到底是哪个词可以根据上 下文或者逻辑意思来判断。

27 Well, you know in many countries people point with their first finger. (P35) first finger = fore finger = index finger 意为 “ 食指 ” 。 大拇指 thumb 中指 middle finger/ long finger 无名指 ring finger/ the fourth finger 小指 little finger

28 But my American friends are not familiar with the particular festival. (P35) be familiar with: 通晓,熟悉 eg. Are you familiar with this type of machine? look/sound familiar to sb 看 / 听起来熟 eg. The voice on the phone sounded familiar to me. be on familiar terms with 和 …… 很熟悉 eg. He’s on familiar terms with all the teachers.

29 Some other post- reading activities for you to choose from.

30 Do you want to know more information about cultural differences? In most countries, nodding your head up and down means ‘yes’. In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean ‘no’. In South-east Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying ‘I’ve heard you.’

31 Do you want to know more information about cultural differences? In the United States, when someone puts his thumb up, it means ‘Everything is all right’. However, in Sardinia of Italy and Greece, the gesture is insulting and should not be used there.

32 Jokes caused by cultural differences Everywhere is beautiful A foreign friend didn’t know that Chinese people say “Nali, nali” to show humility ( 谦 虚 ). Once when he attended a wedding ceremony of a young Chinese couple, he praised the bride that she was beautiful, the bridegroom answered “where, where”. The foreign friend got confused, and then he answered “Everywhere is beautiful, for example: the hair, the eyes, the ears and the nose …”
