题目内容
He watched a football game on TV instead of________his homework last night.
- A.do
- B.did
- C.to do
- D.doing
分析:instead of(代替,而不是)是短语介词,后面的动词要用doing形式。句意是“他昨晚没有做功课,而是看电视上的足球比赛。”(延伸)without和instead of都可以指“没有做某事”,区别在于without所指的没有做的事情和做的事情并不矛盾,本来是可以两件事情都做的,“说再见”和“离开”并不是做了一件就不能做另外一件的。instead of的“没有做”,两件事情是矛盾的,做了一件肯定不能做另外一件,本句的“看电视”和“做功课”是矛盾的。(延伸)instead of后面可以跟名词或代词,如:Will you write the letter instead of me?(你可以代我写这封信吗?)(延伸)instead(代替)是副词,注意和instead of的转换:原句=He didn't do his homework last night.Instead,he watched a football game on TV.If you can't go,let him go instead.=If you can't go,let him go instead f you.
Yesterday my son, daughter and I went to the grocery store. In front of us in line was a little girl with her mother. The little girl was asking her mother for a box of Smarties. The polite way she was asking almost broke the mother’s heart, “I’m sorry, Honey, but we have no money to buy it ”
My son was watching that dialogue. By the way, he had been raking(用耙子耙)leaves our garden to raise himself some money to buy a bike. As he watched the mother and daughter leave the store, he ran to the candy counter(柜台)and bought a box of Smarties with the money .
He turned to look at me and I just nodded. He ran out after the little girl and her mother and he gave them the box. He came back and told me what he told them. “Every kid should have a pack of Smarties because they can make you smart.”
I was so excited that I bought a pack of Smarties for my son. I told him that I was proud of him, and that was for his act of generosity(慷慨)because he gave his own Smarties to others Quickly, he replied, “But you do nice things for people and you never get anything for it .”explained, “when you do something nice for someone, you shouldn’t expect to get anything, when you do get something you should be very thankful.”

One day, Tomas Jefferson, the president of the USA, was crossing a river with a group of travelers. The river was overflowing its banks. So it was very dangerous to cross it on a horse. Each man was fighting for his life! Then another traveler came and he wanted to cross it, too. But he didn’t have a horse. He watched the group and then asked Jefferson to take him. Jefferson agreed immediately. The man climbed on. After they were both safe to the other side of the river, someone asked the man, “Why did you ask present for help?
