Unit 1　School life

话题导入 School doesn’t have to be a prison.If you find school life difficult，you can learn to make it easier.Here are some tips(提示) to help you. ·Try a team sport. Some schools offer team sports that allow you to make friends with your fellow students.Soccer，basketball and football can all make school have a little more fun.So you can choose one of them to take up.

·Stay organized. One of the most stressful parts of school can be making sure you have everything you’re supposed to have.Where’s your English homework? Is your pencil sharp? The less you have to worry about these little things，the more you’ll be able to focus and enjoy school. ·Take it easy on your teachers. Teachers are like students: some are great，some are less than great. But teachers are in charge of the classroom.So even if you’re feeling frustrated(沮丧的)or bored in class，you should be nice to your teachers.

·Try to find kids you can talk to and play with. Ask for help if you are having trouble with your homework.As a result，they will possibly be friendly back to you.Ask for help at school by joining an after­class study group，if your school has one.Ask your teacher if you can stay 10－15 minutes after school to ask a few questions about your homework if you’re embarrassed(尴尬的) to ask during class.It’s always better to ask.

经典句式 1 Going to a British high school for one year was a very enjoyable and exciting experience for me. 在英国上了一年的高中对我来说是一段非常令人愉快和兴奋的经历。

句中Going to a British high school for one year为动名词短语作主语。动名词具有动词与名词的性质，在句中可充当主语、宾语或表语。动名词作主语时，有时用it作形式主语，而把动名词(短语)后置，常见结构有： It is no use doing sth. 做某事没用。 It is no good doing sth. 做某事没有好处。 It is a waste of time doing sth. 做某事是浪费时间。

(1)Walking on the moon is not as easy as walking on the earth. 在月球上行走不如在地球上容易。 (2)Dad didn’t come home he used to. 爸爸回家的次数不如过去多了。 as much as

√ [单项填空] (3)Good news！We didn’t spend we had expected. A.as half much money as B.much money as half as C.as much money as half D.half as much money as √ 解析　此处是“倍数＋as＋adj.＋n.(不可数)＋as...”句式，half就是倍数。句意为：好消息，我们没有花到预想的一半的钱。故选D。 解析 答案

what I used to get在此句中是宾语从句，引导词what在从句中作get的宾语。what引导宾语从句时在从句中可作主语、宾语或表语。 (4)Please tell me what made him so angry. 请告诉我是什么让他如此气愤。 (5)Before I go shopping，I usually make a list of what I really need. 在去购物前，我通常会先列一张必需品的清单。
