This story reminds us that you can never know whats possible unless you try to make it happen. remind v. 提醒；使想起 remind sb. of/about sth. 提醒某人想起某事e.g. The picture reminds him ofhis beautiful hometown.这幅画让他想起了美丽的故乡。remind sb. to do sth. 提醒某人去做某事e.g. Please remind me to come back early.请提醒我早点回来。【运用】根据汉语意思补全下列英语句子，每空一词。 这个故事让我想起了我的童年。This story _ _ _ my childhood. 今天晚上你能提醒我给汤姆打电话吗？Could you please _ _ _ _ Tom up tonight?(2) I think its a little bit silly. bit n. 有点；稍微a little bit (= a little) + 形容词或副词或比较级时，表示“一点儿”e.g. Im a little bit tired. Lets take a short rest.我有点累了，让我们休息一会。 She is a little bit shy. 她有点害羞。 辨析： a bit of + 不可数名词 “一点”e.g. She poured a bit of salt water in her mouth.她往嘴里倒了一些盐水。silly adj. 愚蠢的通常指由于缺乏常识、判断力或稳健而作出令人可笑的行为和举止, 在句中可用作定语或表语。e.g. I was silly to get out with a coat in a cold day.在这样冷的天气里没有穿外套就出门，我真傻。(3) But what could Yu Gong do instead of moving the mountains?instead of 是复合介词，后接名词、代词、动词的-ing形式或介词短语等，意为“代替，作为的替换”。e.g. If you cant go, hell go instead of you.Jack went swimming yesterday instead of playing basketball.The doctors went to Shanghai by train instead of by car.I gave her some advice instead of money.Will you go to the meeting instead of me?instead与instead of 只有一词之差，但在用法上区别很大。instead是副词，意为“代替”，在句中只能用作状语。e.g. We have no coffee. Would you like some water instead?Donna never studies. Instead, she plays table tennis all day.Exercise: If time is enough, do some more exercise.1. Yu Gong found a good way _ (solve) the problem.2.
