Who Is Fooled?

  Just as the teacher was coming into the classroom, one of the boys, whose name was James, said loudly, Teacher is a fool. The teacher pretended not to have heard this.He went up to the platform and said, Today we are going to have a lesson on punctuation.Punctuation in a sentence is very important.Look at this sentence. He picked up a piece of chalk and wrote the following sentence on the blackboard:James says the teacher is a fool.The class laughed.Now, continued the teacher, with two commas I can change the meaning of the sentence entirely. He then put in two commas and the sentence read:

  James, says the teacher, is a fool.

  Notes:

  1.fool V.愚弄;玩弄,标题中的be fooled是被动语态。n.愚人;傻瓜

  2.whose的先行词是one of the boys,由whose引出的从句,其前后均有逗点,是非限制性定语从句。

  3.pretend v.伪装;假装,其后接动词不定式。在句中它后面接not to have heard,表示:老师假装没听见。

  4.platform n.讲台

  5.punctuation n.标点;标点使用法,a lesson on punctuation是关于标点使用法的课,这里的on相当于介词about.

  6.comma n.逗点,entirely adv.完全地。全句可译作:我用两个逗点就能完全改变这话的意思。

  7.read在这里是过去时,它的意思是:读作:改为。

阅读下面短文,在表格内的空白处填入合适的答案(每空格限填一词)

It seems that a family just isn’t complete (完整的) without a pet. But if pets aren’t suitable to a family’s lifestyle or environment, they can quickly lead to problems such as stress or arguments (争执). To save yourself and your family such problems, treat this decision seriously.

When choosing a pet, people must consider the family’s health. Many people are allergic (过敏的) to cats and dogs. Perhaps a dog or cat with short hair will be fine. And a dog might not be the best choice for a child who is naughty (顽皮的) because the dog might bite him or her. Some people can also have problems with certain pets. It’s a good idea to spend a little time with the pet around each member of the family before making your decision.

Consider the quality of life of the pet, too. If a pet is used to having space to run around, it can quickly develop psychological (心理的) problems when it is kept in a small flat all day. If pets are allowed to run about in areas with lots of traffic, they can meet an early end. Cats shouldn’t be brought into homes that already have large dogs because they won’t be able to get along well with each other.

The decision as to what kind of pet to choose is very important. If you find the right one to suit (适合) everyone in the family and their lifestyle, then it’s time to choose one. Remember that your decision is important because it can have effects that last for many years.
