be sure of的意思是“对……确信无疑”，例如：

─ Is he going to call us at 9：00？（他会在九点给我们打电话吗？）

翻译下面的句子，掌握sure的用法：

2）You are sure of a warm welcome.（你肯定会受到热烈的欢迎。）

3）I don't know for sure whether he will come or not.（我不很确切地知道他是否会来。）4）Make sure that you turn off the light when you leave.（确保在你离开时把灯关掉。）5）Be sure not to forget what your parents said to you.（千万别忘了父母对你说的话。）

have a corner的意思是“垄断”，例如：have a corner on the cotton market （垄断棉花市场）；have a corner on the black vote（垄断黑人选票）。有时也会见到以in 代替on的用法：have a corner in banking

请翻译下面的句子：

2）He led the broad jump with a leap of 26 feet.（他以26 英尺的成绩在跳远中领先。）

3）Pollution still leads the list of major problems in that country.（污染仍然是那个国家的头号严重问题。）

3. Taxes consist of money which people pay to support their government.

2）He put the money that his mother gave him in a safe place.（他把妈妈给他的钱放在一个安全的地方。）

3）I don't remember where I put the CD that I bought yesterday. （我记不得把昨天买的CD放在哪儿了。）

2）The medical team is made up of three doctors and a nurse.

4. Salaried people who earn more than a few thousand dollars must pay a certain percentage of their salaries to the federal government.
