9 1. It is the parents’ job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children.
此处代词it仅为形式上的主语, 真正的主语是to provide … for their children。我们也可将It is one’s job (duty, …) to do something.视为一个固定的句型, 表示“做某事是某人的工作(职责等)”。

10 e.g.:It’s every teacher’s job to explain things clearly to the students.
把东西给学生讲明白是每一位老师应做的事情。 provide 作动词，意为“ 提供；供应”。 provide sb. with sth.或provide sth. for sb.意为“为某人提供某物”。

His school provided a house for him. 汉译英：他们提供给他钱和衣服。 They provided him with money and clothes. They provided money and clothes for him.

12 2. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult.
反正我觉得干点家务也不难。 anyway是一个副词, 若位于句首, 其后往往会有逗号将其与句子的其他内容隔开。anyway在此句中的作用是追加评论, 相当于汉语的“反正; 仍然; 依然”。

13 e.g.:Sam didn’t get the job, but he’s not unhappy because it didn’t pay well anyway.
萨姆没有得到那份工作, 但他并没有闷闷不乐, 反正薪酬也不算高。 anyway还可用来表示“不管怎样; 无论如何”之意。 e.g.:It’s just a cold. But anyway, you should still see the doctor. 这只不过是感冒, 但不管怎样, 你还是应该看看医生。

14 sick ill / sick 3. ill & sick ◆相同点 ill 与sick 都可以表示“生病的”，都可作表语。
e.g.:Alice was ill / sick yesterday.艾丽斯昨天生病了。 ◆不同点 表示“生病”时，sick 可作定语，但ill 通常不作定语。e.g.:Could you help the sick girl?你能帮那个生病的女孩吗? 【运用】根据句意，用ill或sick填空。 (1) The driver sent the _____ baby to the hospital. (2) My brother is ________. I have to look after him at home. sick ill / sick

15 4. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.
孩子们越早学会独立, 对他们的未来就 越好。 “the+比较级+……, the+比较级+……”是英语中一个常用的句型结构, 表示“越……, 就越……”。

16 e.g.:The more he explained, the better we understood.
他解释得越多, 我们就理解得越透彻。 Many people believe that the more a person reads, the wiser he will become. 很多人相信一个人书读得越多就会变得越聪明。
