The Olympic Games will be held in our country in four years' time. As a great many people will be visiting the country, the government will be building new hotels, an immense stadium, and a new Olympic-standard swimming pool. They will also be building new roads and a special railway line. The Games will be held just outside the capital and the whole area will be called 'Olympic City'. Workers will have completed the new roads by the end of this year. By the end of next year, they will have finished work on the new stadium. The fantastic modern buildings have been designed by Kurt Gunter. Everybody will be watching anxiously as the new buildings go up. We are all very excited and are looking forward to the Olympic Games because they have never been held before in this country.

参考译文
4年以后, 奥林匹克运动会将在我们国家举行. 由于将有大批的人到我们国家来, 所以政府准备建造一些新的饭店、一个大型体育场和一个新的奥运会标准游泳池. 他们还将修筑一些新的道路和一条铁路专线. 奥运会就在首都市郊举办, 整个地区将被称作 “奥林匹克城” . 工人们将在今年年底前把新路铺好; 到明年年底, 他们将把新体育场建成. 这些巨大的现代化建筑是由库尔特•冈特设计的. 大家都将急切地注视着新建筑的建成. 我们都非常激动, 盼望着奥运会的到来, 因为在这个国家里还从未举办过奥运会.

as/because原因,as是连词,引出原因状语从句,as用于表示原因时通常位于句首,它所表明的原因对于讲话对象可能是已知的,因此没必要再予以强调。because任何时候都可代替as,来说明一种或几种原因,但as则不一定总能代替because。because一般跟在主句后面,强调讲话的对象可能不知道的原因。
  As you can’t type the letter yourself, you’ll have to ask Susan to do it for you.
  Jim’s trying to save more money because he wants to buy a car.

be built强调建造;go up (建筑物)被兴建起来,拔地而起
  Many new houses are going up in this district.

现在完成式 : 到现在某一点时间为止

【Text】 
My old friend, Harrison, had lived in the Mediterranean for many years before he returned to England. He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country. He had no sooner returned than he bought a house and went to live there. Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather, for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold. After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock. He acted as if he had never lived in England before. In the end, it was more than he could bear. He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country. The dream he had had for so many years ended there. Harrison had thought of everything except the weather.

参考译文
我的老朋友哈里森在回到英国以前曾多年居住在地中海地区。过去他常幻想退休后到英国,并计划在乡间安顿下来。他刚一回到英国便买下了一幢房子住了进去。但紧接着他就开始抱怨那里的天气了。因为即使那时仍为夏季,但雨总是下个不停,而且常常冷得厉害。在阳光下生活了那么多年的哈里森对此感到惊奇。他的举动就好像他从未在英国生活过一样。最后,他再也忍受不住,还没等安顿下来就卖掉了房子,离开了这个国家。他多年来的幻想从此破灭。哈里森把每件事情都考虑到了,唯独没想到天气。

【课文讲解】
1、He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country.
dream of…     想, 梦见(梦想),幻想,向往
  Frank used to dream of having a car of his own.
think of…      想(思维的活动), 考虑
settle down      定居,安身,安顿
  After two years of traveling, I want to settle down now.

2、He had no sooner returned than he bought a house and went to live there.
no sooner…than…      一……就……(关联词,引导时间状语从句,主句里常用过去完成时,than后面的从句用一般过去时),相同用法的还有as soon as,the moment,on doing
had no sooner done…than +一般过去时, 固定用法 (时态结构 : 完成时态 + than + 一般过去时)
He had no sooner arrived than he called me up.
no sooner放在句首就要倒装 
No sooner had he arrived than he called me up.  (倒装)

3、Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather, for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold.
almost immediately      几乎马上, 很快地 (时间上的快, 常用于写作)
for(连词)表示因为(解释说明, 附加的)=because因为(一定要说的原因),for与because不同,不能用于句首,并且在for后面必须重复主语:
  I don’t have a car, for I can’t afford it.
even though =even if     即使,虽然(引导让步状语从句)
Even though I came here, my mind was absent.   尽管我人来了, 但我还是心不在焉

4、After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock.
so many years   这么多年
after it rained for days = after so many days of rain   在这么多天雨之后
After seven years of hard work, he was successful.
After ten years of staying in abroad, he decided to return and settle down.
got a shock   吓了一跳, 吃了一惊

5、He acted as if he had never lived in England before.
as if+句子     似乎, 好像(引导表示方式的状语从句,如果从句为过去完成时则是虚拟语气,描述与事实相反, 后面的条件是假的)
He acted as if he was poor. (as if 后是真是假, 应根据上下文来看)
My leg hurts as if it was broken.
连词as if/though引导方式状语从句,通常跟在描述行为举止的动词之后,如act,appear,feel,look,smell,sound等后面:
  She acted as if she were mad.  (虚拟语气)
  It feels as if/though it’s going to rain.

6、In the end, it was more than he could bear.
more than在这里表示“超过……的范围”
  This piece of news is more than I can believe.
It was more than I could understand.
I can't affard it. = It was more than I can affard.
这种用法与它通常表示“比……更多”的用法稍有不同:
  There were more than ten people in the room.

7、He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country.
hardly…when…     还没来得及……就……,用法同no sooner…than
hardly had sb. done when…  (hardly在句首, 要倒装)
He had hardly opened his eyes when he was knocked out.(knock out : 打晕, 击倒)
have time to do sth.     有时间做某事
I have no time to talk with you.       我没时间和你说话
I have time enough to have coffee.     我有足够的时间喝咖啡

【Composition】
1  He bought an old car. It was in a very bad state.(but)
2  The engine was worn out. The gearbox was full of sawdust. (The engine…not only…but…as well)
3  He could not drive it. He could no sell it. He could not even give it away. (neither…nor…nor)
 
1. in a bad state     状态不太好 
though 虽然, even though=even if 即使,这些词出现在两句之间, 就不再加but,
2. The engine was not only worn out but the gearbox was full of sawdust.
worn out    破旧不堪的  
engine []       n. 发动机, 机车, 火车头
gearbox []    n. 变速箱 
sawdust []    n. 锯屑, 木头屑子  (saw []   n. 锯;v. 锯)
not only出现在句首要倒装,一般不会放在句首
3. He could neither drive it nor sell it nor even give it away. 
He could neither drive it nor sell it even nor give it away. (这样写更好)
neither do sth. nor do sth. nor do sth.   既不能也不能更不能

【Letter writing】 
日期:每年下列月份写出全称:3月,4月,5月,6月和7月,剩余的月份写成:Jan. (1月);Feb. (2月);Aug. (8月);Sept. (9月);Oct. (10月);Nov. (11月)和Dec. (12月)。 

【Key structures】 
过去完成时
过去完成时经常与一般过去时连用,表示过去某个动作发生前完成的动作。与过去完成时连用的表示时间的词或词组有when,after,as soon as,(not) until,by that time,(never) before,already,for,since,just,no sooner…than,hardly…when等。过去完成时不能与副词ago连用(ago只能与一般过去时连用)。
He hadn’t finished it by yesterday evening.     到昨天晚上他还没做完。
  I’d never flown a plane at all until I flew this one!
  在驾驶这架飞机之前我从来没有驾驶过飞机!

【Special Difficulties】
No sooner…than and Hardly…when
no sooner…than (一……就……);hardly…when (几乎未来得及……就……)这两组连词意义都和as soon as相近,但比as soon as正式。它们通常都与过去完成时连用。当no sooner和hardly位于句首时,后面的主谓结构都要颠倒顺序,即句子变为no sooner/hardly +助动词 +主语 +动词形式的语序。
  No sooner had he begun speaking than he was interrupted.  他刚一开始讲话就被打断了。
  Hardly had he got into the bus when it began moving.

Country and Countryside

【Text】
While John Gilbert was in hospital, he asked his doctor to tell him whether his operation had been successful, but the doctor refused to do so. The following day, the patient asked for a bedside telephone. When he was alone, he telephoned the hospital exchange and asked for Doctor Millington. When the doctor answered the phone, Mr. Gilbert said he was inquiring about a certain patient, a Mr. John Gilbert. He asked if Mr. Gilbert's operation had been successful and the doctor told him that it had been. He then asked when Mr. Gilbert would be allowed to go home and the doctor told him that he would have to stay in hosptial for another two weeks. Then Dr. Millington asked the caller if he was a relative of the patient. 'No,' the patient answered, 'I am Mr. John Gilbert.'

参考译文
当约翰•吉尔伯特住院的时候, 他问医生他的手术是否成功, 但医生拒绝告诉他. 第二天, 这位病人要了一部床头电话. 当房里只剩他一个人时, 他挂通了医院的交换台, 要求与米灵顿医生讲话. 当这位医生接过电话时, 吉尔伯特先生说他想询问一个病人的情况, 是一位名叫约翰•吉尔伯特的先生. 他问吉尔伯特先生的手术是否成功, 医生告诉他手术很成功. 然后他又问吉尔伯特先生什么时候可以回家, 医生说他在医院还必须再住上两个星期. 之后, 米灵顿医生问打电话的人是否是病人的亲属. “不是, “病人回答说, “我就是约翰•吉尔伯特先生. “

【课文讲解】
1、Am I all right?   
all right当指人的健康状况时,可表示“安然无恙的,良好的”
  I was not very well last week, but I feel all right now.

2、While John Gilbert was in hospital, he asked his doctor to tell him whether his operation had been successful, but the doctor refused to do so.
So在这里是代词,代替前面的动词不定式(to tell him whether…)。它一般出现believe,do,expect,hope,say,tell,think,appear等之后:
  Is it true that John has had an operation?
  I am afraid so. /I believe so. / I think so. / It seems so.

3、The following day, the patient asked for a bedside telephone.
the following day = the next day,这里following表示“紧接着的,其次的”。
ask for   请求,索要,要求(得到某个东西)。在下一句(…asked for Doctor Millington)中它表示“要求(某人)来(接电话)”。
bedside telephone   床头电话

4、When the doctor answered the phone, Mr. Gilbert said he was inquiring about a certain patient, a Mr. John Gilbert.
Certain在这里没有“肯定的,确实的”等含义,而表示“某一,某位”,暗指说话者或说话对象可能对这人/这事不大清楚/熟悉,或所指的这个人身份不大清楚:
  Mary years ago a certain doctor arrived in London.
a Mr. John Gilbert   一位名叫约翰.吉尔伯特的先生
a+人名前面, 表示某一个拥有这个特征的人或我不认识的某某人,这种情况下a通常与表示“某一”的certain连用:
He is a Leifeng.    表示具有雷锋的特征
A certain Mrs. Hart is waiting to see you.   
有位哈特夫人正等着见您。

5、He then asked when Mr. Gilbert would be allowed to go home and the doctor told him that he would have to stay in hosptial for another two weeks.
for another two weeks     又两个星期
another作为限定词表示“另一个,再一个”的时候,通常与可数的单数名词连用,不和复数形式连用;但是后面可以跟基数词/few+复数名词(它们被当成一个整体):
  I need another three driving lessons before my test.  
考试前我还需上3节驾驶课。
  I need another few hours before I can finish my homework.
  我还需几个小时才能做完作业。


【Key structures】 
直接引语和间接引语
直接引语的疑问句变为间接引语的疑问句时引号和问号不再使用,且直接疑问句中的倒装语序在转述疑问句里要还原为陈述句语序(主语+动词),有必要还要改变时态。
转述一般疑问句时必须使用if或whether,不可省略,助动词do/does和did在转述疑问句里消失了。
  She asked if/whether you were tired.    她问你是否感到疲劳. 
ask,want to know,wonder等后面的if和whether通常可以互换,但是whether表示的怀疑程度比if稍大。
  I wonder if/whether he’s phoned the doctor.
在表示两者挑一时更常用whether:
  She asked me whether I wanted tea or coffee.
转述疑问句中带有or not时,通常用whether引导,不用if引导:
  He wants to know whether or not we want dinner.
  Did the children say they’d eaten?     他们没告诉我他们吃了没有。
在转述特殊疑问句时,通常用原来的疑问词。在针对主语提问的间接疑问句中,时态和情态助动词照常有变化,但语序保持不变。
Tom asked if / whether Jack would arrive the next day.   汤姆问杰克第二天是否能到. 
Jane asked why I hadn't written to her.   简问为什么我不给她写信. 
如果直接引语是问句,变为间接引语时,主句不说He said,而用He asked;told可以后跟问句,还可以跟陈述句:
直接引语是表示命令、请求、建议的祈使句通常可用适当的动词后跟不定式来转述,常用的这类动词有advise,ask,tell,order,command,warm,invite等,这些动词后往往有间接宾语,在转述这类祈使句的否定形式时,必须将not放在带to的不定式之前:
She reminded/told me to turn off all the lights.
The teacher was telling/ordering/commanding her students to close their books.
tell sb. to do sth.
The teacher told me (not) to open the door.
ask sb. to do sth.
动词suggest和insist用于转述建议、要求时,其结构为suggest/insist +that从句(用should):
  He suggests that they should sell the flat. I hope they won’t sell the flat.
  He still insisted that we should help him.

【Text】
Last week at a dinner party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold. Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. I tried to make conversation.
'A new play is coming to "The Globe" soon,' I said. 'Will you be seeing it?'
'No,' she answered.
'Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year?' I asked.
'No,' she answered.
'Will you be staying in England?' I asked.
'No,' she answered.
In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.
'Young man,' she answered, 'if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!’
 
参考译文
在上星期的一次宴会上, 女主人安排我坐在兰伯尔德夫人的身旁. 兰伯尔德夫人是一位身材高大、表情严肃的女人, 穿一件紧身的黑衣服. 当我在她身旁坐下来的时候, 她甚至连头都没有抬一下. 她的眼睛盯着自己的盘子, 不一会儿就忙着吃起来了. 我试图找个话题和她聊聊. 
“一出新剧要来‘环球剧场’上演了, “我说, “您去看吗?” 
“不, “她回答. “您今年去国外度假吗?” 我又问. 
“不, “她回答. 
“您就呆在英国吗?” 我问. 
“不, “她回答. 
失望之中我问她饭是否吃得满意. 
“年轻人, “她回答说, “如果你多吃点, 少说点, 我们两个都会吃得好的!” 

【课文讲解】
1、Last week at a dinner party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold.
dinner为不可数名词,“at a dinner party”中的“a”并不修饰“dinner”而是 “party”,have dinner不加“a”
ask sb. to do sth.   叫某人做某事
next to     与……相邻,挨着(既可表示座位挨着也可以表示地理位置上挨着)  
sit next to me      坐我旁边
There’s a field/shop next to our house.

2、Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress.
unsmiling表示bad mix,很难与人融合。unsmiling的反义词为smiling(微笑的,喜气洋洋的)。有些形容词前面可以加上前缀un-来表示相反的意义:comfortable(舒服的)/ uncomfortable(不舒服的),true(真实的)/untrue(不真实的),interesting(有趣的)/ uninteresting(无趣味的,乏味的)。
in在这里表示“穿着、戴着”:
  A young man in a blue dress is inquiring for you.
(inquiring for sb.    要找(某人),求见某人)

3、She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her.
take a seat      坐下,比sit要正式
  Please take a seat.
take one’s seat     表示位置事先已安排好
  After everyone had taken his seat, the meeting/dinner/party began.

4、Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating.
busy +doing sth.      忙着做某事(doing前可以加in,也可以不加)
  We’re all busy (in) getting ready for the performance.

5、'A new play is coming to "The Globe" soon,' I said. 'Will you be seeing it?'
The new film is coming to the cinema. / A new play will be on at ‘The Globe’. 
即将上映
The film will be on.   那部电影即将要上映

6、'if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!’
在并列句中,相同的句子成分(如主语、谓语、状语等)通常由同一词性的单词/词组表示,并且它们的长度也差不多,以保持句子的平衡性。
  You can either go out or stay here.
  He wants to buy a lot of things, but he has little money.
  他想买的东西很多,但他的钱很少。


【Composition】
1  She refused to answer any questions. She did not ask any questions. (not only…but…either)
2  She was not interested in the theatre. She was not interested in travel. (neither…nor) 

1 She not only refused to answer question but she did not ask any question either.    =She not only refused to answer question but ask no question either.
but…as well 可以加肯定也可以加否定 ; but…either只能加否定
as well, either 在此句中可省略
2 She was interested in neither the theatre nor travel.
=She was interested neither in the theatre nor in travel.(更好, 介词短语的并列)

【Key structures】 
第2类条件句(虚拟条件句)
第1类条件句,谈论将有可能发生的事情,并且考虑其将来的真实结果。主句用一般将来时,从句用一般现在时或其他形式的现在时。
If you help me,I will be gratefull.      如果你帮我, 我会感激你 (正常语气)
If it rains, I will not go.     正常语气(不一定会去)
第2类条件句,if从句谈论想象的情况(假设与现在事实相反),主句则推测想象的结果。 从句使用一般过去时, 主句使用would+动词原形。尽管第2类条件句使用过去时,却并非指过去的时间,所以,if之后的过去时用法常被称为“非真实的过去”,整个条件句也被称作非真实条件句。
If you helped me,I would be grateful.
如果你帮了我, 我会感激你(可惜你没有帮我, 我不会感激你)
If it rained,it would not be hot.      如果下雨, 就不会这么热
If you could make him change his mind, you would save him a lot of trouble. 
假如你能使他改变主意, 你会使他免了许多麻烦. 
如果if从句中的动词是be, 那么应该在第一和第三人称单数名词之后用were。If I were you这种说法经常用于提出建议。
  If I were you, I’d accept their offer.
If I were in your position, I would act differently. 
假如我处于你的位置, 我会采取不同的作法. 
第2类条件句有时也可代替第1类条件句来描述颇有可能发生的事情,但比第1类条件句较为“无把握”。
  If you went by train, you would get there earlier.
  If you go by train, you will get there earlier.
第2类条件句经常用来描写完全不可能的事情。
  If I had longer legs, I’d be able to run faster.

【Special Difficulties】

Do的用法
完全动词do也有一些固定短语:
do one's best(尽最大努力);do one's homework(做作业);do sb. a favour(帮忙);do a job(干家务);do work(做家务);do exercise(做练习);do business(做生意) 
do还可以与动名词连用:do some shopping(买东西,购物);do swimming(游泳);do some reading (读书)

【Text】
'Do you call that a hat?' I said to my wife.
'You needn't be so rude about it,' my wife answered as she looked at herself in the mirror.
I sat down on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited. We had been in the hat shop for half an hour and my wife was still in front of the mirror.
'We mustn't buy things we don't need,' I remarked suddenly. I regretted saying it almost at once.
'You needn't have said that,' my wife answered. 'I needn't remind you of that terrible tie you bought yesterday.'
'I find it beautiful,' I said. 'A man can never have too many ties.'
'And a woman can't have too many hats,' she answered.
Ten minutes later we walked out of the shop together. My wife was wearing a hat that looked like a lighthouse!
 
参考译文
“你把那个叫帽子吗?” 我对妻子说. 
“你说话没必要这样不客气, “我的妻子边回答边照着镜子. 
我坐在一个新式的满是网眼儿的椅子上, 等待着. 我们在这家帽店已经呆了半个小时了, 而我的妻子仍在镜子面前. 
“我们不应该买我们不需要的东西, “我突然发表意见说, 但马上又后悔说了这话. 
“你没必要这么说, “我妻子回答说, “我也不必提醒你昨天买的那条糟糕透了的领带. “
“我觉得它好看, “我说, “男人有多少领带也不会嫌多. “
“女人有多少帽子也不嫌多. “她回答. 
10分钟以后, 我们一道走出了商店. 我妻子戴着一顶像灯塔一样的帽子. 

【课文讲解】
1、Do you call that a hat?
“Do you call that +(冠词)+名词”这个结构可以表达一种轻蔑的含义:
  Do you call that a house/a dog?      你把那个叫房子/狗吗?

2、You needn't be so rude about it.
be rude about sth.       对事很粗鲁 
be rude to sb.       对人很粗鲁
Don't be rude to me.   别对我这么粗鲁

3、I sat down on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited.
on the chair 在椅子上
with holes in it 作定语
Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle.

4、We had been in the hat shop for half an hour and my wife was still in front of the mirror.
名词修饰名词, 一般用单数:bookstore书店,drugstore药店, 

5、I regretted saying it almost at once.
regret doing sth./名词/that从句       后悔已经做了某事,表示对做过的事感到遗憾
  Did he regret his mistake?
  I now regret leaving my country/that I have left my country.
regret to do sth.   表示对现在或将来要做的事感到对不起、遗憾,比be sorry to do sth.要正式:
  We regret to tell you that you are not welcome.      我很遗憾地告诉您,您不受欢迎。



6、'You needn't have said that,' my wife answered. 'I needn't remind you of that terrible tie you bought yesterday.'
needn't have done      原本不必做, 但是做了, 强调过去的动作不必做
You needn't have bought it.      你原本不必买的
You needn’t have come.      你原本不必来的。
needn't do      现在的动作也不必做 
You needn’t come.     你不必来。
remind sb. of sth.      提醒某人想起某事

7、'I find it beautiful,' I said.
动词find经常用于“动词+宾语+宾语补足语”这种结构:
  You’ll find it difficult/easy to make conversation with her.
  I find this book very interesting.

8、A man can never have too many ties.
can never…too…=cannot…too…       无论……也不为过
A man can never have too many ties.  
再多的领带对一个男人来说也不为过(男人有多少领带也不会嫌多)。
I can never thank you too much.      感激不尽。
Drinking water can never be too clean.      饮用水越干净越好。
A wife can never complain too much.      妻子怎么罗嗦也不为过。
You can’t be too careful in doing your work.     你工作越小心越好。

【Key structures】 
Must, Have (got) to and Need
情态动词must(必须,不得不)的否定式 mustn't(不能、不准),must还可用于表示推测:
① 对现在和将来的推测:must +动词用原形
② 对正在发生的事情的推测:must be doing
③ 对过去的推测:must have done
④ 对过去正在发生的事情的推测:must have been doing
用must的一般疑问句可以用must/have to或needn’t来回答,而不用mustn’t:
  Must I set off now?
  Yes, you must / have to.  
No, you needn’t.
mustn’t表示绝对禁止,在说话人看来,根本没选择余地: 
  You mustn’t use that bicycle. It’s broken.
“不必要”可用needn’t,don’t have to来表示:
needn’t = don’t have to 
needn’t have done = didn’t have to
  You needn’t / don’t have to work such long hours.
英语中的need有两种词性,一个是普通动词(需要),一种是情态动词。need的否定形式对应也有两种: needn't 不必(情态动词need的否定); don't need 不需要(普通动词need的否定)。
need I...?(情态) / do I need...? 实义动词
在实义动词后面再加一个实义动词, 就在后面加to do
Need I go out? = Do I need to go out?      我需要出去吗?
  You needn’t have told me that. I know it is.
情态动词后面不能直接用名词做宾语,实义动词后面可以直接加名词, 故need 后面如是名词, 则这个need 为实义动词
例 : He__c__follow me .
a doesn’t need   b needn’t to   c didn’t need to   d needs
情态动词need后接动词原形,但只用于否定和疑问句,肯定句用must,have to,ought to或should。
need用于疑问句时,问者往往希望得到否定的回答:
  Need you leave so soon?       你有必要这么早就走吗?
用need的一般疑问句的肯定形式的回答可以用must/had to,否定形式的回答可以用needn’t:
  Need I type this letter again?
  Yes, you must. / No, you needn’t.
  Need you have told him about my plans?
  Yes, I had to. / No, I needn’t have.
表示必要时,must的语气比need要强:
  I must go to the dentist this moring.
这种句型可用来表示说话人让对方选择或允许对方可以不做某事的主观意图。它的完成式和过去式分别为needn’t have,didn’t have to和didn’t need to:
  I needn’t have gone to the office yesterday.
  I didn’t have to / didn’t need to go to the office yesterday.
need doing sth.     需要被做(用主动表达被动含义)
① 这里need属于实义动词, 动词ing相当于名词来理解 
② 有时态和人称变化,否定式为: don’t need doing
③ need doing 表达被动含义, 如: Your shoes need washing. 你的鞋子需(被)洗了
另外want doing也是用主动表示被动含义,它们的主语一定是物, 不是人
Your hair needs cuting.
need to be done---主语是人,也可以是物
  The child need to be …

对比 mustn't和 needn't:
You musn’t read it bed. It’s bad for your eyes.
(be bad for…    对……有害)
Smoking is bad for your health.    抽烟有害你的健康
You mustn't make a noise. The children are asleep. 你不应吵闹, 孩子们都睡了. 
You needn't drive so quickly. We have plenty of time. 
你不必开得那么快, 我们有足够的时间. 
=You don't have to(haven't got to) drive so quickly. We have plenty of time.
You mustn't smoke in a theatre. It is forbidden. 你不应该在剧场里抽烟, 这是不允许的. 
You needn't come with us if you don't want to. 如果你不想去, 你不必和我们一道去. 
=You don't have to (haven't got to) come with us if you don't want to.

【Special Difficulties】 
Remark, Observe and Notice
remark与observe都可以表示“说,评论说”,它们比say要正式:
‘You’re looking very well!’She remarked/observed.
notice和observe都可以表示“注意到,察觉到”,但有一定区别。notice指无意中“察觉到”;observe则可以指有意观察、仔细地看,比notice更正式:
He observed me carefully. (He looked at me.)   他仔细地看着我. 
Did you notice how she was dressed?   你注意到她的穿戴了吗?
  I’ve noticed/observed that he telephones her oftener than before.
  我发现/注意到他现在给她打电话比以前次数多了。
  I didn’t notice his leaving.
make rude remark / call one's name / say F words (F 指 fuck) 讲粗话,骂人
He made a lot of rude remarks about the hat she was wearing.
fail to do sth.   没有能够  
not fail to   表示强烈地肯定 
I had changed the furniture round that you can not fail to notict it.
我已经把周围的家具都换了。

3  Do you have to buy this hat? No, I___c___. It isn't necessary.
a. mustn't     b. won't     c. needn't     d. don't need
Do you have to...?  
Yes, I do … / No, I don't … / No,I don't have to do sth.
mustn't不准 
don't have to 不必 =needn’t
must=have to必须
英文中要么助动词之后所有的东西都省略, 要么省到不定式标志, “don’t need to” 也对
Would you like to do sth?  
Yes, I'd like to. / No,I don't / No,I don't need to. (to 不能省略)
Do you want to go to school?    Yes,I do. / Yes,I want to.
Would you like to see the menu?   Yes, I'd like to.  (后接动词)
Would you like some bananas?   Yes, I’d like.  (后接名词)
Do you need the hat?   
No, I don’t need.  (不能为“I needn’t”,情态动词不能直接接名词“hat”)

7  A man can never have too many ties. It's ___b___.
a. unable     b. impossible     c. improbable     d. incapable
can never =can't   不可能

【Text】
As we had had a long walk through one of the markets of old Delhi, we stopped at a square to have a rest. After a time, we noticed a snake charmer with two large baskets at the other side of the square, so we went to have a look at him. As soon as he saw us, he picked up a long pipe which was covered with coins and opened one of the baskets. When he began to play a tune, we had our first glimpse of the snake. It rose out of the basket and began to follow the movements of the pipe. We were very much surprised when the snake charmer suddenly began to play jazz and modern pop songs. The snake, however, continued to 'dance' slowly. It obviously could not tell the difference between Indian music and jazz!

参考译文
当我们穿过旧德里的市场时走了很长一段路, 我们在一个广场上停下来休息. 过了一会儿, 我们注意到广场的那一边有一个带着两个大筐的耍蛇人, 于是就走过去看看. 他一见我们, 就拿起了一个长长的上面镶有硬币的管乐器, 并掀开了一个筐的盖子. 当他开始吹奏一支曲子时, 我们才第一次看到那条蛇. 它从筐里探出身子, 随着乐器的摆动而扭动. 当耍蛇人突然又吹奏起爵士乐和现代流行乐曲时, 我们感到非常惊奇. 然而那蛇却还是缓慢地 “舞动” 着. 显然, 它分辨不出印度音乐和爵士乐!

有些情况下也可以不跟between:
