Why Nothings Works
Marvin Harris
I)Pre-reading Brainstorming:
Have you ever got anything which fails to work? What are the possible causes?---Some possible causes of an object's failure to work: mishandling, overuse, faulty parts, faulty workmanship, fake product, inferior quality Notes: Library Work
1.The Porno Indians belong to a North American Indian tribe that forms the second largest tribal group in California, U.S.A.The name “Porno” comes from a suffix that the Porno people add to many words in their language.The Pomo women's fine basketry is the artistic triumph of the people.Pomo basketry includes small masterpieces as well as large, colourfully decorated containers, and is considered among the world's finest.2.In the summer, Eskimos used two kinds of boats for hunting and travel.1)The kayak Pkaiaek/ was decked over except for a manhole that accommodated one person.Such craft had frames made of pieces of driftwood bound together.The frames were covered with dehaired sealskins sewn with waterproof stitching.2)The umiak /'u:nugek/ was a large, open boat made by covering a driftwood frame with split walrus hides or sealskins.II)Comprehension: 1)Main Idea:
No matter how advanced the technology, quality demands intelligent, motivated human thought and action(l.13-15)and the cleads to a constant quality problem.2)Purpose of writing and Tone:
To trace the cause of the shoddy goods problem.3)Organization and Development:
(P1)Theme: No matter how advanced the technology, quality demands intelligent, motivated human thought and action;(P2-4)Some reflection about primitive cultures to help illustrate the theme;
(P5)In our era of industrial mass production and marketing, quality is a constant problem due to withering away of intimate sentimental and personal bonds.Key to Exercise of filling out the table(page 117): 1.Quality-control instruments need maintenance;gauges go out of order;X rays and laser beams need adjustment.2.Quality is not dependent on technology alone.3.Men made their own spears, bows and arrows.and projectile points;women wove their own baskets and...or fiber.And the whole of para.4.4.craft specialties adopted by different members of the band or village 5.management, the worker on the factory floor, the office help, the salespeople
Thread of Harris's causal analysis:
He first of all makes it clear that the cause is basically human rather than technological.Then instead of plunging immediately into such likely causes as unskilled labor and lack of responsibility, he turns to look at what made the artifacts of primitive cultures so reliable in quality, the very lack of which is the cause of shoddy products in modern industrialized society.Process: In para.3 Harris employs process to help explain the formation of social relationship between producer and consumer.The step-by-step explanation makes it easy for the reader to follow the author's flow of thoughts.Contrast: In the last two paragraphs, Harris employs contrast.The purpose is to reveal the wide difference in the quality of products made by the producer for himself or his kin, and of those made for unknown users.This contrast occurring towards the end of the essay naturally adds emphasis to the thesis.4)Comprehension Questions:
1.What role does Murphy’s Law play in Harris’s writing?
---Murphy's Law, which seems to be an answer to the question posed by the title “Why Nothing Works?” , is in fact no answer at all.But it calls the reader's attention to a phenomenon so common that it is often taken for granted.Thus it helps lead to what Harris intends to discuss in this passage: What causes things to go wrong so quickly? Can we do anything to prevent it? 2.Which sentence in para.1 tells us that Harris thinks Murphy’s Law irresistible?---The sentence “While Murphy's Law can never be wholly defeated, its effects can usually be postponed.” tells us that Harris thinks the law is irresistible.3.What is the meaning of the word “inputs” in “If these human inputs are assisted by...”---“Inputs”, as the compounding indicates, means “what is put in.” In this context, the word refers to the efforts made and responsibility taken by human beings, to the “intelligence, skill, and commitment” they contribute to production.4.For what reason(s)does the writer think that people nowadays honor the lable “handmade”?---People have a high regard for handmade products because of their reliability and their association with a more personal relationship between the producer and the consumer.5.What are the two developmental stages of “prehistory” in para.3? What remained unchanged in these two stages?---1)People made things for themselves and for their close kin.2)People obtained many items through barter and trade.The connection between the producer and the consumer remained intimate, permanent, and caring.6.Is there a topic sentence of para.4? What function does this para.perform in the passage?---No.Not within the paragraph.The whole paragraph is an illustration of the sort of intimate relationship between the producer and the consumer mentioned in the previous paragraph.7.What is the cause of shoddy goods?---He has stated it explicitly in para.5---“...because the intimate sentimental and personal bonds which once made us responsible to each other and to our products have withered away.” 8.Where is the thesis statement?---Last sentence of the first paragraph.9.What is your personal view of the cause of shoddy goods?---Open to discussion.5)Difficult Sentences for paraphrasing
1.Much of human existence consists of efforts aimed at making sure that things don’t go wrong, fall apart, break down, or stop running until a decent interval has elapsed after their manufacture.---People spend much of their lifetime trying hard to keep things in good shape.They think a product, after leaving its factory, should last at least for a reasonably long period before ceasing to work.2.But gadgets and sampling alone will never do the trick since these items are also subject to Murphy’s Law.---Quality-control instruments and testing devices are also governed by Murphy's Law, so they are not reliable.3.A single visit to a museum which displays artifacts史前古器物 used by simple preindustrial societies is sufficient to dispel the notion that quality is dependent on technology.---Look at the artifacts of the pre-industrial era exhibited in a museum and you will see that technology is not the factor that decides the quality of these items.4.In unskilled or uncaring hands a handmade basket or boat can fall apart quickly as basket or boats made by machines.---If a handmade basket or boat is made by an inexperienced or irresponsible worker, it may break down as easily as machine-made baskets or boats.5.I rather think that the reason we honor the label “handmade” is because it evokes not a technological relationship between producer and product but a social relationship between producer and consumer.---My opinion is that it is the social relationship between producer and consumer rather than the technological relationship between producer and product that makes “handmade” items so highly regarded.6)Difficult Sentences for Translation(E-C):
7)Key Words and Expressions:a
1.savant(l.1)---/s'vant/ a man of learning, especially a person with detailed knowledge in some specialized field 2.corollary(l.2)---an immediate inference from a proved proposition 3.forestall(l.7)---defeat, prevent by prior measures 4.commitment(l.8)---a pledge to follow certain beliefs or a certain course of action;devotion(to duty etc.)5.artifact(l.16)---a usually small object(as a tool or an ornament)showing human workmanship that has special historical interest 6.evoke(l.28)---bring to mind 7.projectile point(l.32)---the tip of a weapon that is thrust forward;spear or arrowhead 8.band(l.35)---a group of people formed for some common purpose and often with a leader 9.barter(l.36)---trade by exchanging one commodity for another 10.alienation(l.58)---a withdrawing or separation of a person from an object or position of former attachment;a feeling of not belonging to or being part of one's surroundings 8)Key Language Points:
1.corollary---an idea, an argument, or a fact that naturally follows something else Corollaries to Murphy's Law suggest themselves as clues to the shoddy goods problem.the act of pledging or devoting(oneself)to a course of action.Example The teacher's commitment(responsibility)is more than imparting knowledge.A person is committed if he devotes himself to a certain cause, e.g., a committed educationist.5.maintenance---the act of keeping something in good order/condition by regularly checking it.Example: You may be able to afford a second-hand automobile, but its maintenance may cost you a lot.6.artifact---an object that is made by man, such as a tool or a decoration, especially one that is of historical interest.Example: Various artifacts of prehistoric times were discovered during the excavation.7.dispel---remove(false belief, doubt, fear)by proving them wrong.Example: His encouraging words dispelled all my doubts about my own inability.8.we honor the label “handmade”---we show respect for/think much of the tag which says that the article is made by hand 9.evoke---bring forth, call up, cause something to be remembered or expressed.Example The songs evoked memories of my school days.10.the intimate sentimental and personal bonds---the close/familiar emotional and person-to-person relationship/connection 11.wither---become weaker or shrink.Plants, trees, flowers may all wither away, and so may one's hopes, when one becomes hopeless.12.the women and men involved in...---the women and men taking part in...be involved in---be as a necessary part in.Example: Are you involved in your class's new project? 13.alienation---a feeling of not belonging to or not being a part of one's s surroundings.Example The foreman's haughtiness caused alienation from work among the workers.14.sabotage---intentional damage to machines, buildings, etc.carried out secretly to weaken a government, an enemy, or as a protest.Example: All attempts at sabotage must be mercilessly crushed

I)Pre-reading Brainstorming:
1.How did you prepare yourself for admission to college or university? Were you opposed to such examination-oriented preparation? 2.How did the author of the text, Lincoln Steffen, prepare for college? II)Main Idea of the passage:
In the passage, basically a narrative, the author intends to tell his readers what happens in the year 1884-1885: his failure in examinations and his discovery of the right way to prepare himself for college, which he thought was a period of great adventure for him.III)Structure of the passage:
1.P.1-4---His failure and the cause of it;2.P.5-12---His private tutor’s influence on him(to think and discover all by himself)3.P.13-18---He found the best preparation for college in the stimulating Saturday night conversations among all those Oxford and Cambridge men(P16-17: what he gained from the conversations).IV)Comprehension Questions:
i.From Steffens’s description of “the elect” in para.2, what has been revealed about himself?---He must be very different from those boys.To him study did not mean performing all the tasks assigned by the teacher without thinking and reasoning.He must be unhappy to be told to memorize what he was supposed to learn without a thorough understanding.He was motivated by a strong quest for knowledge, not by the desire to distinguish himself in terms of marks.ii.Where can you find Steffens’s critical comments on the school education he received? Was it at least in part responsible for his failure to get into university?---Mainly in para.3&4.He was not interested in those subjects which seemed to him irrelevant to his life, and the teachers failed to interest him in those subjects.As a result, he did not do well in them.This partly accounted for his failure.iii.What is the antecedent of the pronoun “it” in the first sentence of para.6? Apart from referring to its antecedent, what cohesive function does it perform?---“It” refers to the change that had come over him.“It” links the paragraph with the preceding one.iv.How does the man Evelyn Nixon impress you? Support your answer with information from the text.---A well-informed Oxford scholar, a good teacher, who knew how to interest his student in what he had to learn, a creative and original man, who was not satisfied with what was known, but was more interested in the exploration and discovery of the unknown.For supporting information, refer to paras.6 to 13.v.Despite their similar background, the Englishmen who met at the Saturday night gatherings had “no common opinion on anything apparently”(para.13).By which sentence in the same paragraph is this fact restated? Why does the author seem to emphasize this point?---“They could not among them agree on anything but a fact.” To emphasize the originality of these searching minds and the infinite nature of the pursuit of knowledge.vi.why does Steffens say that those wonderful Saturday nights in San Francisco were his preparations for college?---The conversations he heard were brilliant, scholarly, and stimulating, thus greatly broadening his scope of knowledge.And the way in which the conversations were carried on was inspiring, too.(Refer to paras.14 and 15)They were much more beneficial to him than the kind of school education he had received.vii.What did Steffens gain from the conversations at the Oxford and Cambridge men?---“Cultivated ignorance and objectivity” as explained in para.16&17.V)Key Words and Expressions:
1.driving motive(L.12)---the incentive / encouragement that urges them on;2.the rudiments(L.32)---the basics, the fundamentals(The word rudiments is always in the plural form when used in this sense.)
3.metaphysics(L.36)---the branch of philosophy that deals with abstract concepts, etc.形而上学,玄学,纯粹哲学

My Friend, Albert Einstein
Banesh Hoffmann
I)Pre-reading Brainstorming:
What do you know about Einstein? What was he like? How do you think Hoffmann describes Einstein as his friend?
* Hoffmann takes a different perspective.He tries to reveal some of the less well-known aspects of Einstein’s personality, traits that characterize him more as a man than as a scientific genius.Note: * Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:
1756-1791, Austrian composer, one of the world’s greatest musical geniuses. Ludwig van Beethoven:
1770-1827, German composer, was one of music’s greatest geniuses. The Nobel Prize:
Alfred Bernhard Nobel(1838-1896), a distinguished Swedish chemist and industrialist, provided for the award of Nobel
Prize in the field of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace, regardless of nationality. The Nazis:
Nazism is a political doctrine of racial supremacy, nationalism, and dictatorship.Nazi is an abbreviation of German word for National Socialism.I)Comprehension:
1)Main Idea:
This profile(short, vivid biography, briefly outlining a person’s most outstanding characteristics: his ability, personality, or career)is mainly about Einstein’s personality and his incomparable contributions to science.2)Purpose of writing and Tone:
The purpose is to illustrate with anecdotes some characteristic features of Einstein both as a man and as a scientist.3)Organization and Development: Introduction(P1):
Using the word “simplicity” to begin the illustration of Einstein’s essence
Body(P2-19):
P2-4: About his modesty;P5-7: Einstein’s brief life history and his two great theories;
P8-11: About his concentration on work;P12-13: About his love of natural simplicity;P14-16: About his academic courage;P17-18: About his sense of justice;P19: About his youthful innocence;Conclusion:(P20)
Summing up what it means to have known Einstein and his work.4)Comprehension Questions:
1.Which phrase in the first paragraph explains the abstract notion of “simplicity”?---“going instinctively to the heart of a matter” 2.From the two anecdotes related in para.2-4, what impression of Einstein have you got?---He was a very modest person, never thinking himself any superior to or more authoritative than others because of his fame and achievements as a great scientist of the time.3.What, according to the author, is Einstein’s most outstanding trait as a scientist?---Concentration.Refer to the first sentence of para.9.4.Why did Einstein insist on working hard when he was so badly shaken by his wife’s death?---Working hard requires concentration, which would help him to dispel the feeling of sorrow.5.How do you interpret the sentence in para.11: “To help him, I steered the discussion away from routine matters into more difficult theoretical problems”?---Tackling more difficult theoretical problems requires greater concentration and absorption.This would help him temporarily forget the sadness caused by his wife's death.6.What revelation is made through Einstein’ comment on Beethoven and Mozart’ works?---As a simple man, Einstein takes it that beauty exists in the Universe.Such beauty is natural, pure, and simple.Beauty found is even greater and more admirable than beauty created.7.How did Einstein feel about the destructive effect produced as a result of the application of his E=mc2 formula?---This is something he had not expected.He was greatly dismayed by the devastating effect his formula produced once it was put into application.8.Do you think the anecdote related in para.19 aims to illustrate Einstein’s “whimsicality”? If not, what personality trait other than being whimsicality is revealed here?---He was not really a whimsical man.If he could be called a whimsical man, then his whimsicality came from the young heart and childlike innocence which he had managed to retain.5)Difficult Sentences for Paraphrasing:
1.This knack for going instinctively to the heart of a matter was the secret of his major scientific discoveries---this and his extraordinary feeling for beauty.(Para.1)---This natural ability of intuitively getting to the essence of a subject was the key to the great discoveries made by him in science.This natural gift and his unusual awareness of beauty.2.The intensity and depth of his concentration were fantastic.When battling a recalcitrant problem, he worried it as an animal worries its prey.(P-9)---His engrossment in ideas was incredibly intense and deep.When attacking a problem difficult to solve, he kept attempting to deal with it with great effort, just as an animal chases and bites a weaker animal it preys upon until the latter gives in.3.A dreamy, faraway and yet inward look would come over his face.There was no appearance of concentration, no furrowing of the blow---only a placid inner communion.(P-10)---He would look lost in thought, thinking about something distant, and yet meditating within himself.He did not seem to be in deep thought, nor did he knit his browsnot harmed by;not adversely affected by.Example: He got lost in the street for quite a while, but was none the worse for it.3.knack---a special skill or ability, usually the result of practice.Example: She has a knack of doing sums in her head, however complicated they may be.4.plead with---ask(someone)very strongly in a begging way.Example: The girl pleaded with her parents to let her go to school by herself.5.awe n.cause a feeling of amazement or fear.Example:
The magician's performance awed us all.awed adj..with voice qualities that showed amazement as well as respect and fear 6.the staggering-and altogether endearing request---the surprising and shocking, almost unbelievable, and yet very pleasant and affectionate request stagger v.---cause shocked disbelief.Example: His excessive conceit and self-confidence staggered all his colleagues.endearing adj.do something by oneself.Example: Tim solved the mathematical problem all on his own.be on one's owndistant in time and space, and in relationship.Examples: She is interested in the life of the people in this area living in the remote past.They used to live in a remote village hardly known to outsiders.Xiao Ling is a remote cousin of his.turmoil-state of confusion, chaos, disorder.Example: She liked to live in a remote village cut off from the turmoil of the bustling city.23.alert v.---make someone fully aware of(a situation);warn someone of danger or trouble.Example: It is necessary to intensify the campaign to alert people to the dangers of smoking.24.endeavor(British spelling: endeavour)---effort, attempt.Example: His honest endeavour brought him success.25.ineffable sadness---sadness that is too intense to be described Ineffable meaning “indescribable” is usually used to describe something positive that is too wonderful to be described, e.g., ineffable joy/happiness/beauty/delight.9)Translation Exercise for Practice of Language Points(C-E):
1.他按了按汽车喇叭以引起路上行人的警觉。(alert)
He honked his car to alert the pedestrians.2.信息工程的迅速发展是人类尝试的一个突出实例。(endeavor)

1. Revise the language points in Unit 7.
Ask some questions like this: Where would you like to go on vacation? Why?(Because…)
2. Revise the contents in Unit 7.
3. Check homework by asking some students to read their sentences they’ve made with the verbs. Let them hand in their homework.
4. Dictate ten words in Unit 7.
Step Ⅱ la
In this unit we learn to offer to help.We’ll use some phrasal verbs. Each phrasal verbs has two or three words, such as clean up, cheer up, give out. Here is an example on how to use clean up. Look at the title of Unit 8. I’ll help clean up the city parks. Repeat it twice, please.
Ask the students to read the title twice.Then go on saying, “clean up means make a place clean and tidy, put things there in order”. Let’s see another example, We should always clean up after a picnic.Who can explain this sentence in your own, words?Ask one student to explain the sentence.
He or she may say like this. This sentences means we should burn wastepaper, collect litter and empty bottles, etc.Then ask the class. Who can make more sentences
with clean up?Ask several students to share their sentences to the class.Do the same with the other phrasal verbs.
Read the instructions to the students.
Please look at the picture now. We can see a bulletin board and two children in it. What is the bulletin board about? Help students to answer: Volunteer Today!Then continue saying, “Who can tell me the meaning of volunteer?”
Ask one student to try to explain it. Then tell them the meaning of it. Volunteer means a person who offers to do something unpleasant or dangerous. It means a person who offers to help the others sometimes. Volunteer is used as a verb in this lesson.
Draw the students’ attention to the three posters on the board.We can see one sentence in each poster.And we can see some people in each poster, too. What are the volunteers doing in each poster? Please work in pairs and talk about the posters.
Give the students a few minutes to talk about what they will say. Let them talk about all the three items. Move around and help the pairs as needed.Then read the sentences in the posters to the class. Ask the pairs of students to explain what the sentence means in their own words. Or tell what the volunteers are doing in the posters.For example, for the first poster, a pair might say:
It means there is trash in the park. There are papers on the ground. We can help clean up the park by picking up papers and trash. We can make the park clean.
After the students have finished all the items, ask the students to add some other ways they can help people. Get them to write the ways down in the box below the picture.
At last, ask some students to share their ideas with the class. Write any new words or phrases on the board and explain these words to the class, if necessary. Step Ⅲ 1b
Call the students’ attention to the two lists in the box in Activity lb. Ask some students to read the eight sentences on the lists to the class. Explain any new words and phrases in it.
Make sure that all the students can understand the meanings of the eight items.Then get the children to read the instructions together.
Say, we will hear four conversations.
Your task is to match the items in the two lists. We can see the blanks in fro
nt of the first line of each conversation. Listen to the conversations and write the letter in front of the first line of each conversation. Put the letters of the second line of conversations in right places. Point out the sample answer to the class.
Play the recording the first time. Tell the students to only listen. Then play the recording a second time.
Tell them to write a letter in front of each numbered sentence this time.Check the answers.
Step Ⅳ 1c
Read the instructions with the class.Call their attention to the example in the speech bubbles in Activity la. Ask a pair of students to read this conversation to a class. Then let them practice in pairs.
Note their pronunciation of “like to” in phrases such as, I’d like to help hungry people. Tell them English speakers usually pronounce the words “like to” as if they were spelled like-tuh.
Play the I’d like to statements on the recording to demonstrate this
pronunciation.After they’ve finished practicing the sample conversation, ask them
to make up similar conversations based on the other two posters. Get two pairs to demonstrate two conversations first.
Then let the whole class practice in pairs.After that, play the recording of activity 1b and let the children read after it twice.Then ask them to practice similar conversations using the information in Activity 1b.

3.Complete B1 on Page 95.4.Read aloud the article and put T or F in the blanks.5.Complete B3 & 4 on page 96.Step 4 Homework
1.Read aloud the article and underline the difficult parts.2.Remember the new words in this lesson.Reading II Teaching Aims: 1.Learn the language points in this article.2.Learn to describe a fashion show.Step 1.Revision The students are having a fashion show in the school _______ in the ________.Millie wears _______ clothes.She thinks trainers are __________ to wear, so they are popular _________ young people.Simon’s shirt is _______ and his trousers are ________.He looks _______.______ Amy _______ Daniel wears blue ________.Young people also like to wear them.Sandy looks ________ because she is in red _______ blouse, a ______ wool skirt and a pair of red __________.Step 2.Explain 1.trousers, jeans本身就是复数,其数量的表达要用 a pair of 这样的短语,这样的短语作主语时要由pair 的单复数形式来决定谓语动词形式。e.g.The jeans are popular among young people.There is a pair of jeans in the bag.The two pairs of trousers are different.2.look cool 看上去很酷
当look的译为“看起来,看上去” 的意思时是连系动词,这种动词后面可以接形容词作表语,但不能接副词,e.g.You look happy today.(正)(happy是形容词)
You look happily today.(错)(happily 是副词,不能作表语)
本课短文中的look cool, look smart,look modern中look都是连系动词。3.both 两者(都)
(1)这个词只能用于两者或两部分时,三者及以上的“全,都”要用all。e.g.His parents are both teachers.There are 40 students in our class.We are all Chinese.(2)“both of + 名词复数/ 宾格代词”作主语时谓语动词要用复数形式。
Both of them work in Beijing.(3)both … and …
…和… 都;不仅…而且… She can both sing and dance.她不仅会唱歌而且会跳舞。4.Here comes Sandy.西蒙来了。
这是一个以Here 开头的倒装句,句子的真正主语是Sandy。请观察here 开头的倒装句的两种不同情况:
Here comes the bus.(主语是名词the bus)
Here it comes.(主语是代 it)
Here you are.(主语是you)5.be made of …

Sandy’s blouse is made of silk.桑迪的衬衫是由丝绸制成的。6.be popular among …

Help them to answer and tell them they are using the present continuous tense.Step 3.Grammar
一、现在进行时肯定句和否定句的构成:
肯定句:
主语+ am/ is /are + v-ing...肯定句:
主语+ am/ is / are not + v-ing...I am not eating.You/ We/ They are not eating.He/ She/ It is not eating.二、动词ing形式的构成:
Exercise 1: Complete Part A on Page 97.三、现在进行时一般疑问句的构成及回答: I am eating.→ Am I eating?
Yes, I am./ No, I am not.(或 No, I’m not.)
You/ We/ They are eating.→ Are you/ we/ they eating?
Yes, we/you/ they are.No, we/ you/ they are not(或用缩写aren’t)He/ She/ It is eating.→ Is he/ she/ it eating? Yes, he/she/it is.No, he/she/it is not.(或用缩写isn’t)规律:将be 动词移到主语前面。注意:肯定回答时主语be动词不能缩写,否定回答时be动词和not可以用完全形式也可以用缩写。
Exercise 2: Complete Part B on Page 98.四、语法补充:
(一)现在进行时可以表示说话时正在进行或发生的动作,也可表示当前一段时间内的活动或现阶段正在进行的动作。Look!He is reading in bed.(说话时正在进行)Mr Green is writing a new book.(现阶段正在做)
(二)现在进行时的判断方法:
如果句子中带有鲜明的时间状语,如:now, 或带有Look, Listen 等暗示动作正在发生,或有表示现在的上下文语境时,我们常用现在进行时。Listen!She is singing in the next room.—Where is your mother? — She is cooking dinner.(三)注意点:
(1)现在进行时的谓语动词由“be 的某种形式+ 动词ing 形式” 这两部分构成。这时be是个助动词,没有实际意思,只起构成时态的作用。同学们在使用现在进行时时千万不要忘了用be动词。
We having breakfast.(错)We are having breakfast.(正)(2)有些动词一般不用进行时,如:know, understand(理解), love, like, want, hope, hear, see等。
(3)双写末尾一个辅音字母再加ing形式的动词的条件参考书本P121。这个规律不易掌握,所以同学们可以在学习英语的过程中学到一个双写词就记住它,慢慢体会规律。以下是已经学过的一部分双写词:shop, run, get, swim, begin, stop, cut, hit,forget等。Homework Remember the new words in this lesson.Integrated skills
