Yardsale庭院旧货出售这是国外的一种风俗,也是一种独特的售货方式。人们利用周末,将家中搁置不用的物件,放在自家庭院中廉价出售,因而被称作yardsale,也可译作“家庭拍卖会”。庭院售卖的物品种类繁多,大到家具,电器,小到玩具,衣物和鞋帽。这些物品虽多数为二手家什,但也有全新的物品,且价格合理公道,甚至还可讨价还价。正是这种低廉,公道的价格及买家淘宝和碰大运的心理,使得yardsale广受欢迎,逐渐演变成一种独特的文化现象。toybear玩具熊breadmaker面包机scarfn.围巾复数为:scarvessofttoys毛绒玩具boardgames棋类游戏1aLookatthethingsattheyardsale.Doyouhaveanyofthesethingsathome?Howlonghaveyouhadthem?toytigertoyliontoybearDoyouhavethemathome?Howlonghaveyouhadthe…?Ihavehad…for…years./since…yearsago.for+时间段;since+过去的时间点,是现在完成时的标志词。lampoldbookscupHowlonghaveyouhadthe…?Ihavehad…for…years./since…yearsago.magazinecapvaseHowlonghaveyouhadthe…?Ihavehad…for…years./since…yearsago.sweaterdressscarfHowlonghaveyouhadthe…?Ihavehad…for…years./since…yearsago.1bListenandcheck(√)thefactsyouhear._____Jeff’sfamilyishavingayardsale._____Amythinksit’shardtosellheroldthings._____Jeffhashadhisbikeformorethan10years._____Amywantstokeepheroldthingsbecausetheybringbacksweetmemories._____Youcanalsogiveoldthingsawaytopeopleinneed.√√√1cPracticetheconversation.Thenmakeconversationsaboutotherthingsinthepictureonpage73.A:Thisisareallyoldbook.B:Yes,I’vehaditforsevenyears.I’vereaditthreetimes.A:Whyareyousellingit?B:BecauseIdon’treaditanymore.A:Howmuchisit?B:Youcanhaveitfor75cents.anymore也可写作anymore,常用于否定句末尾,表示“再也(不);(不)再”。相当于not…anylonger。e.g.Youcanhaveit,forIdon’tneeditanymore.Thedoctortoldmenottoplaycomputergamesanymore.2aListenandcheck()thethingsAmy’sfamilyaregivingawayandcirclethethingstheyarekeeping.bookmagazinetoybeartoyliontoytigerbreadmakersweaterdresshatscarf2bListenagainandfillintheblanks.1.Amyhashadherfavorite______forthreeyears.2.Amyhashadtheboy_____sinceshewasa______.3.Amy’smomhashadtheoldbreadformorethan_____years.4.Amycangiveawaythe_______and______becausetheydonotfitheranymore.bookbearbaby10sweaterdressListenagainandchoosethecorrectanswers.1.Amywantstogiveawaythe_____.A.bookB.magazineC.bearD.hat2.WhydoesthebearhasspecialmeaningtoAmy?A.Becauseherfatherboughtitforher.B.BecauseherGrandpaboughtforher.C.BecauseherGrandmaboughtforher.BC3.WherecanAmytakethesethings?A.thechildren’shomeB.theoldpeople’shomeC.theteachers’homeA2cStudentsAisAmy’smom.StudentBisAmy.Makeconversations.A:Amy,canwegiveawaythesesofttoys?B:Mom,Iwanttokeepthebear.A:Why?It’ssoold.B:BecauseI’vehaditsinceIwasababy.Linda:WelcometoSunshineHomeforChildren.I’mLinda.Amy:Hi,I’mAmy.Ihavesomethingsforthekids.I’vehadthismagazineforacoupeofmonths.Thestoriesinsidemaybeabitold,butthey’restillinteresting.Linda:Great!Manychildrenherelovereading.Amy:Andcheckoutthesesofttoysandboardgamesforyoungerkids.I’vehadthemsinceIwasachild.There’salsoasweaterandadress.2dRole-playtheconversation.Linda:Perfect!Wealwaysneedtoysandclothes.Amy:Onelastthingisabreadmaker.Mymom’shaditforalongtimebutitstillworks.Linda:Thankssomuch!howlong,howsoon,howoften,howfarHowlong多久,多长(时间)。对时间段提问,如:for+时间段;since+过去的时间点。e.g.--HowlonghaveyouworkedinBeijing?--Forfiveyears.1.--Howlonghaveyouhadthatbikethere?--Ihavehaditforthreeyears.Howsoon多久以后。对“in+时间段提问,常用于一般将来时”,其答语常用“in+时间段”。e.g.--HowsoonwillMr.Libeback?--Inaweek.Howoften多久一次,对频率提问,其答语为:once(twice/…)+时间段,always,usually等。e.g.--Howoftendoyouexercise?--Onceaday.Howfar多远,对距离提问,其答语是表距离的内容。e.g.--Howfarisitfromheretoyourschool?--Threekilometers.for其后只能接表示“一段时间”的名词性短语,可用于多种时态,表示动作或状态持续时间段长短。e.g.Ihavelivedinthiscityforfiveyears.我在这座城市居住了5年了。Heusuallysleepsfortwelvehourseveryday.他通常每天睡12个小时。since其后接表示“时间点”的短语或从句(过去时),也可以接“一段时间+ago”,常用于完成时态;还用于句型:“Itis+时间段+since+一般过去时的句子”,表示过去某个时间发生并持续到说话时的动作或状态。e.g.ItistwoyearssinceIcametoChina.自从我到中国以来已经两年了。Shehasworkedhereforfiveyears.=Shehasworkedheresincefiveyearsago.她在这儿工作5年了。sale用作名词,意为“出售,销售”。onsale意为“出售,上市”;forsale意为“待售,供出售”,尤指从主人手里出售。e.g.Chickensareonsaleinthemarket.小鸡在市场上出售。I’msorry,it’snotforsale.抱歉,它不出售。2.Jeff’sfamilyishavingayardsale.It’s+adj.(+forsb.)todosth.意为“(对某人来说)做某事是……的”,it是形式主语,真正主语是后面的动词不定式。e.g.It’simportantforustolearnEnglishwell.学好英语对于我们来说是很重要的。3.Amythinksit’shardtosellheroldthings.艾米认为卖掉她的旧东西很难。4.Amywantstokeepheroldthingsbecausetheybringbacksweetmemories.艾米想保留她的旧东西,因为它们勾起她的甜蜜回忆。memory作名词意为“记忆;回忆”,复数形式为memories,动词为memorize,意为“记忆,背诵”。e.g.Shehasagoodmemory.她记忆力好。5.I’vehadthismagazineforacoupleofmonths.这本杂志我买了几个月了。acoupleof表示具体的数量“两个”,指两个相同的人或物体;表示数量不定的“少数几个”,作这种虚指的用法时,具体意思往往视上下文和具体的语境而决定。e.g.Youhavetowaitforacoupleofhoursfortheclothestodrycompletely.你得等上一两个小时让这些衣服完全晾干。abit意为“一点儿,稍微”,修饰形容词或副词,相当于alittle;abitof+不可数名词,alittle直接加不可数名词。e.g.Thereisabitof/alittlewaterinthebottle.瓶子里有点儿水。6.Thestoriesinsidemaybeabitold,butthey’restillinteresting.notabit=notatall意为“一点也不”notalittle=very意为“非常”e.g.Sheisnotabithappy.她一点儿也不快乐。Heisnotalittletired.=Heisverytired.他非常累。check用作及物动词,意为“检查,审查”;checkout意为“察看,观察”。e.g.Ifyoufinishit,checkitbyyourselffirst.如果你完成了,就自己先检查一下。Checkoutallthebooksforchildren.察看一下所有的儿童书籍。check还可用作名词,意为“支票,账单”。7.Andcheckoutthesesofttoysandboardgamesforyoungerkids.1.--__haveyoubeenmarried?--Fortwentyyears.A.HowfarB.HowoftenC.HowlongD.Howsoon2.Ifyousitinachair____alongtime,yourbackmaybegintohurt.A.atB.inC.onD.forCD3.--Ioftenhavehamburgersforlunch.--You’db
