　　Turning a Bad Mood into a Good One

　　One day, on my way to school by bus, I stepped on a young man's foot accidentally/quite by accident/chance. I said sorry to him politely immediately, but he called my names rudely. I am in a bad mood the rest of the day.

　　Realizing my bad mood, my headteacher talked with me patiently about it. He said that in fact it is an attitude toward life. It is known to us all that there is a famous saying

　　“Everything depends on one's attitude”. Life is like a mirror, if you smile at it, it will smile back to you.

　　Through this matter, I realize that a good mood is actually an attitude toward life in essence, and that an active attitude toward everything is very important. I'll face everything unpleasant tolerantly from now on and let my soul full of sunshine.

　　1．As Victor Hugo once said, “Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face”， and up_to_now_nobody has been able to do this better_than Charlie Chaplin. 維克多·雨果曾經說過，“笑容如陽光，驅走人們臉上的冬天”。關于這一點，直到今天也沒有人能比查理·卓別林做得更好。

　　(1)as在此引導定語從句，修飾后面整個句子，此時，定語從句的位置比較靈活，可放在句首、句中或句末，譯為“正如，正像”。

　�、貯s all his friends agree, he was unusually warm－h(huán)earted, loving and generous.

　　正如他所有的朋友都認為的那樣，他非常熱心、可親、慷慨。

　�、贗 am as you can imagine short enough of money.

　�、跦e was a teacher, as was clear from his manner.

　　(2)up to now 意為“迄今；到現(xiàn)在為止”，是多用于現(xiàn)在完成時的時間狀語，�？膳c until now, by now, so far 互換。

　　①Up to now, about 30 foreign companies have set up branches in this developing zone.

　　到現(xiàn)在為止，已有大約30家外國公司在這個開發(fā)區(qū)設立了分公司。

　�、赥hey have raised more than $1 000 000 for this project up to now/until now/so far.

　　到目前為止，他們已經為這個項目籌集到一百多萬美元了。

　　(3)．..nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin.

　　當形容詞或副詞的比較級出現(xiàn)在否定句中時，往往不表示否定的意義而是表示充分的肯定。

　　—I think students should have more of their own time. Don‘t you think so?

　　我認為學生應該有更多的屬于他們自己的時間。你不這么認為嗎？

　　—I can’t agree more. (＝I completely agree.)

　　2．“Well, it certainly will be this morning，” the man said, “because I happen_to_be flying it！”“啊，那今天上午肯定要晚點了，”那人說，“因為碰巧我要駕駛那班飛機！”

　　happen to do/be 碰巧

　　句型 Sb. happens to do sth.可以轉換成 It happens that sb. does sth.，但使用時要注意復合句中從句謂語的時態(tài)要與簡單句中的動詞不定式的形式相呼應。

　�、賅hen I went to see him, he happened to be away on holiday.

　　(＝When I went to see him, it happened that he was away on holiday.)

　　我去看他時，他碰巧在外度假。

　�、贘oseph came to borrow my skiing boards yesterday, but I happened to have lent them to my cousin last week.(＝...but it happened that I lent them to my cousin last week.)

　　A．to run                         B．running

　　C．to be running                    D．that they were running

　　答案：C

　　解析：句意：那座橋坍塌時，正巧有好幾輛汽車正在上面行駛。happen to do 中不定式根據語境可選擇不同的形式。

　　3．The tramp, a poor and homeless man with a moustache, wore large trousers, worn－out shoes and a_small_round_black_hat. 這個流浪漢，一個留著小胡子的窮苦的無家可歸的人，穿著大褲子、破鞋子，頭頂著黑色的小圓帽。

　　a small round black hat 中的 hat前有三個形容詞做定語，在英語中多個形容詞修飾名詞時的順序是：限制詞(冠詞、物主代詞、指示代詞、不定代詞)＋數詞(序數詞、基數詞)＋描繪性形容詞(nice, good, interesting, beautiful...)＋特征形容詞(大小、長短、高低、形狀、年齡、新舊)＋顏色形容詞＋國籍、出處＋物質、材料＋用途、類別＋中心名詞。我們可以用下面的一段順口溜來幫助記憶：

　　限定描繪大長高，形狀年齡和新老。

　　顏色國籍出材料，作用類別緊跟著。

　�、賏ll these last few years

　　所有這些逝去的歲月

　�、趕ome beautiful little red flowers

　　一些美麗的小紅花

　　Vienna—In spite of Iraq's decision to stop oil deliveries, the 11?nation Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries(OPEC)will not increase production to make up the shortfall, ministers decided Tuesday in Vienna.

　　The 11 oil ministers decided to meet again on July 3 to discuss the effects of the Iraq temporary stop. The organization's president, Charkid Kheria of Algeria, said after the meeting that stocks were high and prices were stable, so quota increases were not necessary.

　　The E．U. Commission has expressed concern about Iraq's output stop. A speaker said OPEC had to take all possible measures to keep or lower the oil price.

　　Saudi Arabia's Oil Minister Ali Al?Nuaimi had earlier said there would not be any shortfall of oil in the market. The organization had already taken steps to fill the gap, he said.

　　OPEC Secretary General Ali Rodriguez added that the period of Iraq's output stop was not known, so other exporters were not going to lift quotas yet. If the market was destabilized (使……動搖), a suitable response could be made.         Iraq on Monday stopped shipments of crude oil to protest against the U．N. Security Council's decision to extend the oil?for?food programme by only a month, instead of the normal six?month renewal. Just before the Vienna meeting, oil prices had gone up, with a barrel of OPEC crude oil selling for 27.05 dollars, up from 26.81

　　dollars last Friday. North Sea oil was at 29.26 dollars Monday evening.
