五.動(dòng)詞加動(dòng)名詞

下面我們學(xué)習(xí)動(dòng)詞加上動(dòng)名詞的用法. 在上一課里, 我們學(xué)過(guò)一個(gè)英文句子里 如果有兩個(gè)動(dòng)詞都是說(shuō)明同一個(gè)主語(yǔ)的時(shí)候必須在兩個(gè)動(dòng)詞之間加上 to, 比 方 I want to study 等等. 不過(guò)有些動(dòng)詞例外, 比方 "延遲" postpone, "考慮" consider, "停止" quit, "后悔" regret,"恢復(fù)" resume 等等. 要在這些動(dòng)詞后面再 加一個(gè)動(dòng)詞的時(shí)候必須把第二個(gè)動(dòng)詞改成動(dòng)名詞, 比方 consider going, quit smoking, resume studying 等等.

現(xiàn)在我們作一組練習(xí)學(xué)學(xué)這種詞組. 練習(xí)的內(nèi)容都是跟學(xué)校有關(guān)系的, 比方學(xué) 校當(dāng)局延遲提高學(xué)費(fèi), 教師工會(huì)后悔組織罷工等等.練習(xí)的作法是老師提出一 個(gè)問(wèn)題,你就作肯定的答覆. 比方老師說(shuō): Did the professors regret organizing a strike? 你就回答說(shuō): Yes, they regretted organizing a strike. 現(xiàn)在我們開(kāi)始作練 習(xí), 每作完一句就請(qǐng)你聽(tīng)老師念正確答案.

六.聽(tīng)短文回答問(wèn)題

現(xiàn)在我請(qǐng)英文老師念一篇介紹美國(guó)研究院的文章. 這篇文章談到美國(guó)學(xué)生為 什么要念研究院.

現(xiàn)在請(qǐng)你注意聽(tīng), 等一會(huì)兒, 我們要根據(jù)文章問(wèn)你幾個(gè)問(wèn)題.

Most American university students study for four years or more to get a college degree.

During this time, they are called undergraduate students. When a student completes his courses, he earns a bachelor degree which will help him find a job. Many students postpone finding jobs. They stay at the university and work for a higher degree. Other studens take a job for a few years. Then they quit working, and they resume studying at the university. These students work to earn higher degrees; a master's or a doctorate.

They are called graduate students.

Graduate students specialize in a particular field of study. They study to become experts in this field and to learn new advances in their fields while they earn an M.A. or Ph.D.

Sometimes when they get an M. A. in one field they begin studying another field.

They hope that when they earn their graduate degrees they will succeed in finding important jobs. They hope to get jobs that are interesting and high paying.

The life of a graduate student is often difficult. They are usually too busy studying to make a good living. Often they have to pay high tuition fees for their education. Some give up studying before they get their degrees. But most keep on working at their studies until they graduate.

In today's world, most graduate students don't regret spending time with their studies.

They are finding that things are changing very fast. New developments are occurring in all fields. For many graduate study has become a necessity.

現(xiàn)在老師先把等一會(huì)兒要問(wèn)你的問(wèn)題念一遍給你聽(tīng).

第一個(gè)問(wèn)題是:

M: What degrees do graduate students work to earn?

第二個(gè)問(wèn)題是:

M: Why do people go to graduate school?

第三個(gè)問(wèn)題是:

M: Why has graduate study become necessary for many people nowadays?

現(xiàn)在我請(qǐng)英文老師再把整篇文章用慢速度念一遍給你聽(tīng).
