(I am not you.)If he knew it now, he could help me. (He doesnt know it now.)2. 与过去事实相反的虚拟：If + had done + ., . would (might) have done .If I had known your telephone number yesterday, I would have phoned you. (I didnt know your telephone number.)If you had come here a little earlier just now, you might have met her. (You didnt come here earlier.)3. 与将来事实相反的虚拟：(1) If + should + v., . would + v. （可能性很小）（译作“万一”）If it should rain tomorrow, you could stay at home.If I should fail, what should Ido?(2) If + did / were to + v ., would + v. （完全不可能）If the sun were to rise in the west, I would lend you the money.If you finished it in 3 minutes, I would give you my car.4. 金牌特殊重点简单联想记忆： 下列动词后的“宾语从句”中需要用虚拟形式，即should + 动词原形，shoud在美国英语中要省略（TOEFL语法考点）。此类常见的动词有：order, ask, decide, demand, require, recommend, suggest（建议）, insist（坚决要求）, advise, etc.He suggested that we (should) help them with English.The teacher ordered that the homework (should) be finished within half an hour. 下列名词后的同位语从句中要用“should + 动词原形”（should可省去）的虚拟。此类常见的名词有：suggestion, order, request, demand, importance, proposal.He made a suggestion that we (should) have a fancy dress party.I think it is a thing of importance that it (should) be done soon. It is / was important / necessary / natural / essential / advisable / strange / surprising, ect. + that +主语+ should + v.It is strange that you should say such a thing.It was important that you should tell me all the information. wish后的宾语从句中，as if 后的状语从句中，须用下列的虚拟形式：主 + wish+ (that) + 主 + did / were（指现在） had done（指过去） would+ v.（指将来）I wish that I met my uncle now.I wish I had met my uncle yesterday.I wish I could meet my uncle tomorrow. It is (high) time that . + did / were .It is time that you went to bed. would rather that . + did / were .I would rather that you were not here now. would sooner that . + did / were .I would sooner that you got up earlier.I would sooner that you were not my brother.Thank you very much indeed. If it had not exactly for your advice I really _ what I should have done.A. dont know B. didnt know C. hadnt known D. wouldnt have known【分析】此题容易误选C或D，认为此句既然为虚拟语气语境，当然应选择与虚拟语气有关的答案。此句的句意是“真的是太感谢你了。要不是因为你给我建议，我就不知道该怎么做了。”句中 if it had not been for your advice 和 what I should have done 用了虚拟语气，表示与过去事实相反的假设，但是句中的“我不知道”也要用虚拟语气吗？换句话说，“我不知道”是与事实相反的假设吗？显然不是。所以它不能用虚拟语气，应用陈述语气(I dont know)，表明这是事实（表达自己对对方的感谢之意）。请再看几个类似的例子：(1) “Its a long time since we last heard from her.” “Yes, how I wish I knew how she is getting along.” “我们很久没收到她的来信了。”“是啊，我多希望知道她现在过得怎么样。”按照英语语法，I wish 后接宾语从句时，从句谓语要用虚拟语气，所以其后的 I knew 也的确用的是虚拟语气，但是I knew 后的宾语从句用不用虚拟语气呢？不用。句中“我多么希望知道”，说明现在并不知道，即现在“知道”并不是事实，只是一种想法，故用了虚拟语气；但是“她现在过得怎么样呢？”则是她现在的实际情况，是事实，故用陈述语气。(2) I wish I knew what is happening. 但愿我知道现在正在发生什么事。此句I knew 用虚拟语气，说明现在想知道，但实际并不知道；其后的 what is happening 没用虚拟语气，是因说话者想知道现在实实在在发生的情况，即想知道“现在正在发生什么情况”这一事实。比较下例：(3) I wish I knew what was happening. 要是我当时知道正在发生什么事就好了。此句用 what was happening 也非虚拟语气，而是陈述语气的过去进行时态，指过去正在发生的事情。 How to Introduce Yourself in an InterviewTell me about yourself: How to answer this difficult question面试时最令人哑口无言的问题 - 请你自我介绍一下The basic answer about where to start is with preparation. Youll have a better chance of impressing the interviewer if you think about this question before the interview.其实要懂得应对此问题，就要先做好准备，认真考虑问题的涵意。这是一个最好的机会，让你在雇主面前留下好印象。WHAT TO TALK ABOUT如何介绍？With that in mind, make a list of the three most important things you want the interviewer to know about you. Avoid focusing on simple references to things that are already on your resume, although this information should form the skeleton of your answer. Around this skeleton should be the meat of your answer; your less obvious, but important skills. Here are some of the skills that you might want to mention:你可以选择三个重点来介绍自己，但避免重复履历中曾提及的资料。应尽量把你不大明显但重要的技能推而广之。以下为你提供一些参考。你可以介绍自己是.Problem solver解决问题能手Creative thinker充满创意Accurate小心谨慎People person与人相处融洽Team player合群Organised组织力高This doesnt mean that you just say, Im a great problem solver. Instead, explain how you used your problem-solving skills at your previous job.当然你不可能单单说自己是一个解决问题的能手就罢了，你必须加以解释和说明，增强说服力。例如：你可以列举一些曾为以前公司解决重要问题的事例。Keep your answer short V about one to three minutes is generally considered good. That may not seem like much at first, but youll probably discover that you dont have enough time once you start covering three things you want to highlight.自我介绍的时间不要过长，最好是一至三分钟。最初你可能会觉得时间太长，但当你真正要介绍自己三项特质时，你就会发现时间不够用了。WHAT TO SAY应说什么？What you actually say, in terms of the words you use, is something that you have to decide. You need to create an answer that sounds natural and, at the same time, interesting.在自我介绍时，应该说甚么？应该如何构思呢？你的答案最好是自然，不要过分自夸，也不用过分谦虚，但必须令人感兴趣。The way to determine whether your answer is natural is simply by writing a first draft of the answer and then read it out loud. When you do this, youll probably spot things that you have to change.你最好先写下一个自我介绍的初稿，然后大声地朗读。当你这样做时，你就会发现须要修正的地方。Dont worry too much about making the written answer perfect. Youre not going to recite it from paper. Instead, this is just a chance for you to determine the length of your answer.练习时，你无须介怀自己所写的答案不够完美，因为当你面试时，你不会原文照读的。这只是一个机会，让你更容易掌握答案的内容和长度。As you prepare your response, think about how you would talk. Youll want to sound interesting, not boring, so avoid writing just a list of your strengths.当你构思答案时，你要想想应如何说出，内容要令人感兴趣，不沉闷，避免滔滔不绝地只说自己的强项。Here are some final things to think about when answering the question Tell me about yourself.最后，为你提供一些对答自我介绍的意见：Mention major awards or accomplishments that relate to your career;阐述工作上的重要成就或奖项Promote your strengths, but do not mention any of your weaknesses;推销自己的长处，但不要提及自己的弱点Try to be funny if you can, but dont force it;可以的话，尽量说得幽默有趣Summarize your career and education, but dont recite a list;概括说出你的工作经验和学历，但切勿背诵Dont start with your date of birth;不用提及你的出生日期Avoid information that is not career-related. the fact that you own a dog wont get you a job避免说一些与职业无关的事，例如：你有一只狗，这并不能为你争取到工作Always answer this question经常思考和解答这条问题Try to sound natural对答要自然英语写作加分30句经典谚语 1.
