新概念英语青少版第三册第45课：A bank robbery

新概念英语45课讲义

Lesson45 The boss’s letter讲义重点一、本课单词can能够；can是情态动词后面跟动词原形，can经常与be able to互换，例：I can move the box. 我能够移动这个箱子；同义句为：I am able to move the box. 我能够移动这个箱子。

boss 老板；关于boss需要掌握的知识点是它的所有格为boss’s，例：老板的计划，the boss’s plan. 老板的朋友：the boss’s friend.minute分;常见短语：the minute:一会；例，wait a minute:等一会；ask请求、要求;关于ask，掌握一个固定搭配：ask sb to do sth:要求某人去做某事，例：Can you ask him to read this newspaper?你能让他去读一下报纸吗？Don’t ask me to type this letter.别让我打这封信。

handwriting书写;terrible糟糕的、可怕的;例：We had a terrible time.我们玩得一点也不好。

二、本课重要知识点1. What is the matter?怎么了？这是新概念英语中非常重要的一个知识点，经常用来询问人和事物的状况，常作“怎么了”“是否有问题”“是否有麻烦讲”，可单独使用也可跟with一起联合使用，掌握以下三点即可：①单独使用时相当于汉语的“怎么了”例：What is the matter?怎么了？I lost my keys. 我钥匙丢了。

②What is the matter with:、、、、怎么了？What is the matter with the machine?这台机器怎么了？③What is wrong with:、、、怎么了？What is wrong with you?你怎么了？What is the matter? 与what is wrong?这两个句型所要表达的意思基本相同，可以互换，多见于同义句转换，例：What is the matter with you?(同义句转换)What is wrong with you?你怎么了？2. Can you come here a minute please?请你来一下好吗？在本句中我们继续上节课的情态动词的用法总结。

Insuring public or private property is a standard practice in most countries in the world. If, however, you were holding an open air garden party or a fete it would be equally possible to insure yourself in the event of bad weather. Needless to say, the bigger the risk an insurance company takes, the higher the premium you will have to pay. It is not uncommon to hear that a ship ping company has made a claim for the cost of salvaging a sunken ship. But the claim made by a local authority to recover the cost of salvaging a sunken pie dish must surely be unique. Admittedly it was an unusual pie dish, for it was eighteen feet long and six feet wide. It had been purchased by a local authority so that an enormous pie could be baked for an annual fair. The pie committee decided that the best way to transport the dish would be by canal, so they insured it for the trip. Shortly after it was launched, the pie committee went to a local inn to celebrate. At the same time, a number of teenagers climbed on to the dish and held a little party of their own. Dancing proved to be more than the dish could bear, for during the party it capsized and sank in seven feet of water. The pie committee telephoned a local garage owner who arrived in a recovery truck to salvage the pie dish. Shivering in their wet clothes, the teenagers looked on while three men dived repeatedly into the water to locate the dish. They had little difficulty in finding it, but hauling it out of the water proved to be a serious problem. The sides of the dish were so smooth that it was almost impossible to attach hawsers and chains to the rim without damaging it. Eventually chains were fixed to one end of the dish and a powerful winch was put into operation. The dish rose to the surface and was gently drawn towards the canal bank. For one agonizing moment, the dish was perched precariously on the bank of the canal, but it suddenly overbalanced and slid back into the water. The men were now obliged to try once more. This time they fixed heavy metal clamps to both sides of the dish so that they could fasten the chains. The dish now had to be lifted vertically because one edge was resting against the side of the canal. The winch was again put into operation and one of the men started up the truck. Several minutes later, the dish was successfully hauled above the surface of the water. Water streamed in torrents over its sides with such force that it set up a huge wave in the canal. There was danger that the wave would rebound off the other side of the bank and send the dish plunging into the water again. By working at tremendous speed, the men managed to get the dish on to dry land before the wave returned. 【课⽂翻译】保险公司⼀般说来愿意承保⼀切东西。

2023-2024学年新概念第三册Lesson45Thepowerofpress讲义

Lesson 45The power of pressPart 1: TextIn democratic countries any efforts to restrict the freedom of the press are rightly condemned. However, this freedom can easily be abused. Stories about people often attract far more public attention than political events. Though we may enjoy reading about the lives of others, it is extremely doubtful whether we would equally enjoy reading about ourselves. Acting on the contention that facts are sacred, reporters can cause untold suffering to individuals by publishing details about their private lives. Newspapers exert such tremendous influence that they can not only bring about major changes to the lives of ordinary people but can even overthrow a government.The story of a poor family that acquired fame and fortune overnight, dramatically illustrates the power of the press. The family lived in Aberdeen, a small town of 23,000 inhabitants in South Dakota. As the parents had five children, life was a perpetual struggle against poverty. They were expecting their sixth child and faced with even more pressing economic problems. If they had only had one more child, the fact would have passed unnoticed. They would have continued to struggle against economic odds and would have lived in obscurity. But they suddenly became the parents of quintuplets, four girls and a boy, an event which radically changed their lives. The day after the birth of the five children, an aeroplane arrived in Aberdeen bringing sixty reporters and photographers. The news was of national importance, for the poor couple had bee the parents of the only quintuplets in America.The rise to fame was swift. Television cameras and newspapers carried the news to everyone in the country. Newspapers and magazines offered the family huge sums for the exclusive rights to publish stories and photographs. Gifts poured in not only from unknown people, but from baby food and soap manufacturers who wished to advertise their products. The old farmhouse the family lived in was to be replaced by a new $100,000 home. Reporters kept pressing for interviews so lawyers had to be employed to act as spokesmen for the family at press conferences. The event brought serious changes to the town itself. Plans were announced to build a huge new highway, as Aberdeen was now likely to attract thousands of tourists. Signposts erected on the outskirts of the town directed tourists not to Aberdeen, but to'QuintCity U.S.A.' The local authorities discussed the possibility of erecting a 'quint museum' to satisfy the curiosity of the public and to protect the family from inquisitive tourists. While the five babies were still quietly sleeping in oxygen tents in a hospital nursery, their parents were paying the price for fame. It would never again be possible for them to lead normal lives. They had bee the victims of mercialization,for their names had acquired a market value. The town itself received so much attention that almost every one of the inhabitants was affected to a greater or less degree.Part 2: New words and expressions1.democratic ['demә'kræ3.abuse [ә'bju:z, ә'bju:s] n.辱骂，责骂4.contention [kәn'tenʃә6.obscurity [әb'skjuә7.radically ['rædikәli] ad.彻底地，完全地8.exclusive [iks'klu:siv] a.独占的，的9.untold ['ʌn'tould] a.数不尽地，无限的10.South [sauθ] 南达科他州(美国)11.perpetual [pә'petʃuә12.nursery ['nә:sәri] n.育婴室，保育室13 mercialization [kә'mә:ʃәlai'zeiʃdemocratic leadership 民主领导democratic reforms 民主改革★restrict oneself/sth to sthbe restricted to 限于,局限于He restricted himself to five cigarettes a day. 他约束自己每天只抽五支烟。
