Section B & Self Check
Section B 2b Jeff Green
My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror.I'm quieter and more serious than most kids.That's why I like reading books and studying harder in class.My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too，so we enjoy studying together.I'm shy so it's not easy for me to make friends.①But I think friends are like books—you don't need a lot of them as long as they're good. Huang Lei
It's not necessary to be the same.My best friend Larry is quite different from me.He is taller and more outgoing than me.We both like sports，but he plays tennis better，so he always wins.②I'm getting better，though.As Larry often says，③“My best friend helps to bring out the best in me.” However，Larry is much less hard-working，so I always get better grades.④Maybe I should help him more.

I don't really care if my friends are the same as me or different.My favorite saying is，⑤“A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.” My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny.⑥In fact，she's funnier than anyone I know.I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better.⑦We can talk about and share everything.I know she cares about me because she's always there to listen.,

我妈妈告诉我好朋友就像一面镜子。我比大多数孩子安静、稳重。那就是为什么在课堂上我喜欢读书、学习更努力的原因。我最好的朋友袁立也安静，所以我们喜欢一块儿学习。我腼腆，所以对我来说交朋友不容易。但是我认为朋友就像书籍——只要是好的，你不需要许多。

没有必要彼此一样。我最好的朋友拉里和我非常不同。他比我高，比我外向。我们两个都喜欢运动，但是他打网球更好，所以他总是赢。尽管如此，我打得比以前更好了。正如拉里常说的：“我最好的朋友帮助我展示最好的自我。”然而，拉里不够勤奋，所以我总是取得更好的成绩。也许我应该更多地帮助他。
玛丽·史密斯
我真的不关心我的朋友和我相同还是不同。我最喜欢的谚语是：“一个真正的朋友会向你伸出手，触动你的心灵。”我最好的朋友卡罗尔很友好并非常幽默。事实上，她比我认识的任何一个人都幽默。去年我摔伤了我的胳膊，但是她逗我发笑，使我感到好多了。我们可以谈论并分享任何事情。我知道她关心我，因为她总是在那儿聆听。

答案：A
【例2】My father ______what I do.
A．care B．careful C．carefully D．cares 主语是my father，后缺谓语动词，故排除B项，形容词；答案 解析 C项为副词也排除；又由于主语是第三人称单数，故动词D 用第三人称单数形式。 句意 我父亲很关心我所做的事情。 【例3】 用care的适当形式填空

本句是含有宾语从句的复合句，在宾语从句中，as long as引导了条件状语
从句。
as long as 只要；既然

(1)作副词时，放在句末或其他位置。
He said he would come，he didn't，though. 他说他要来，结果却没来。
(2)作连词，引导让步状语从句，相当于although。
在英语里如用了although 或though，就不能再用but，但可以用yet或still。 Though he is young，yet he knows a lot. 虽然他年龄小，但是他知道很多。
though，although
二者都可引导让步状语从句，放在主句前后均可，还可放在句中。但有时不可互换。 (1)though引导的从句，可用倒装语序，although不能这样用。 Young though she is，yet she is fit for the job. 尽管她很年轻，可她胜任这项工作。
(2)though可与别的词结合，如even though，而although 没有这种功能。 Even though you come，I have no time. 即使你来，我也没有时间。

A．although B．though C．if D．for 这里是由though引导的倒装结构的让步状语从句，此时不能与although 答案 解析 互换。结构为“形容词/副词/名词(单数)＋though＋主语＋谓语”。 B 句意 尽管他富有，但却不快乐。 ③7．My best friend helps to bring out the best in me.我最好的朋友帮助我展示最好的自我。
