问题与例题step 1. lead-in we have got much information from the text. do you still have problems on the understanding of this text? if you do, ask me right now. if you dont, try to find the sentences or short phrases that you believed to be the important part of this text.step 2. now ill give you some time to ask questions。step 3. language point 1. he made people laugh at a time when they felt depressed, so they could feel more content with their lives. 每当人们感到失望的时候他总能令人发笑，因而他们对自己的生活更满足。1) content (adj.): satisfied, happy, not wanting more 满足，满意，知足。 常见搭配：be content with sth. be content to do sth. 如： are you content with your present salary? 你对你现在的工资待遇满意吗？she is quite content to stay at home looking after her children. 她呆在家里照顾孩子感到非常知足。区别: content; contented; satisfied content与contented意思接近，指“虽然各种愿望没有实现，但人应安于现状不再多求”，content 一般作表语，而contented一般作定语; satisfied指“愿望、渴望或需求都得到了满足, 因而心满意足了”。 如：she has a contented look. 她显得满意的样子。2) content (vt.)使满意, 使满足 content sb./oneself with sth. 使满足于 i content myself with a glass of coffee everyday.3) content (n.): that which is contained in sth. 所含之物，内容i like the style of the book but i dont like the content.我喜欢这本书的文体，但我不喜欢它的内容。2.not that charlies own life was easy! 这并不是说查理本人生活得就那么容易。not that意为“我并不是说、尽管我并不”，用于句首或短语之前表达否定含义，是对上面所说的话或所做的事进行补充说明，以免引起误会。如：not that i hate the work. im not strong enough for it. 并非我讨厌这份工作，而是我不够强壮，无法胜任。mary has a new job not that i care. 玛莉有一份新工作 那我倒不关心。 拓展 not that . but (that)意为“不是因为而是因为”、“（并）不是而是”，用于肯定一个原因，否定另一个原因，或者肯定一个判断，否定另一个判断。 3. you may find it astonishing that charlie was taught to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. 令人感到震惊的是，当查理会说话和走路的时候就被教唱歌和跳舞。1) it在句中作形式宾语，动词不定式to seethe road才是真正的宾语。当动词不定式作句子的宾语，同时有一个形容词同宾语在一起时，常用it作形式宾语。如： ill make it my business to help her. 我会把帮助她作为我的责任。do you consider it wise to tell them about it? 你觉得告诉他们明智吗？ we consider it useless arguing with him on that point. 我们认为在那点上与他争论是没有用的。2) 句中的astonishing为动词的-ing形式作宾语补足语。 astonish: to surprise sb. greatly 使（某人）吃惊， 震惊。比surprise的语气要强。 如：the earthquake astonished me. 地震使我惊慌失措。be astonished 吃惊 如：be astonished+ at (by) /to do/that 被(因)惊吓she was astonished to find he was drunk. 发现他喝醉了, 她很吃惊。astonishing adj. 令人吃惊的 an astonishing remark 惊人之语 astonishment n. 惊异；惊愕；惊奇in astonishment 愕然， 吃惊地 如：she stared at me in astonishment. 她吃惊地瞪着我。to ones astonishment 令惊异的是 如：to our astonishment the little boy swam across the river令我们惊奇的是那小男孩居然游过了那条河。4. unfortunately his father died, leaving the family even worse off, 不幸的是，他父亲去世了，这令到这个家庭更加潦倒。badly off: in a poor position, esp. financially 潦倒，穷困，其反义词是well off，句中的worse off 为其比较级形式。 如：they are too badly off to have a holiday. 他们贫穷得根本谈不上度假。in fact most people are better off than they were five years ago.实际上现在大多数人都比五年前要富裕。链接: be well off 富裕的，处境好的 be worse off 情况带坏，恶化 be better off (尤指经济)境况较好leave sb/sth +n. adj. doing done prep. phrases如：his father died, leaving him much money.who left the door open?he went out, leaving his work unfinished.the teacher left him standing outside.the parents left the child in the room.5. the tramp, a poor, homeless man with a moustache, wore large trousers, worn-out shoes and a small round black hat. 那流浪者是一位穷苦的无家可归的人，留着胡子，穿着大裤子，破鞋子，头顶着黑色的小圆帽。homeless adj. 无家可归的 -less是表示否定意义的形容词后缀, 加在某些名词的后面构成否定意义的形容词。类似的 如：helpless 无力的，无计可施的；无助的，无依无靠的careless 粗心的，轻率的childless 没有儿女的harmless 无害的，无损害的; 没有恶意的，无邪的ceaseless 不断的，不停的countless 数不尽的，无数的tireless 不会疲倦的，不知疲倦的，不休止的worn-out adj.1)（衣类、机器等）磨破的；磨损的；用旧的 如： worn-out shoes 穿旧的鞋2) 精疲力尽的；憔悴的（一般不用在名词前） 如: she looks worn-out. 她看起来憔悴不堪。6. this character was a social failure but he was loved for his optimism and determination to overcome all difficulties. 这个角色是个社会生活中的失败者, 但是他战胜困难的乐观和决心使得他被所有看电影的人所喜爱。1) failure n. a. a person or a thing that fails 失败；失败者 如： she said she was a failure as a manager. 她说她是一个失败的经理。b. lack of success失败；不成功。如：all of my efforts ended in failure. 我所有的努力都以失败告终。 failure is the teacher of success. 失败是成功之母。2) overcome v. 过去式overcame; 过去分词overcome 意为“克服（困难等）；打败（敌人等）”。如：he overcame a bad habit. 他克服了一项恶习。短语：be overcome with/by 被（悲哀、恐怖等）打倒， 因为面崩溃/垮掉。如：she was overcome with/by grief. 她因为悲伤而崩溃了。 7.charlie first picks out the laces and eats them as if they were spaghetti. then he cuts off the leather top of the shoe as if it were the finest meat. 他首先吃起鞋带，就像吃意大利面条一样。然后他把鞋子上端的皮子切下来，就像切下一块最好的肉。1) pick out a.
