Text LearningLife Without Limits① Imagine being born without arms. No arms to wrap around someone, no hands to experience touch, or to hold another hand with. Or what about being born without legs? Having no ability to dance, walk, run, or even stand on two feet. Now put both of those scenarios（设想） together: no arms and no legs. What would you do? How would that effect your everyday life?② Born in 1982 in Melbourne, Australia, without any medical explanation or warning, Nicholas Vujicic came into the world with neither arms nor legs. (1)Having had an uneventful pregnancy and no family history to expect this condition, imagine the shock his parents felt when they saw their first born, brand new baby boy, only to find he was what the world would consider imperfect andabnormal. How would their son live a normal happy life? What could he ever do or become when living with what the world would see as such a massive disability（严重残疾）? (2)Little did they or anyone know that this beautiful limbless baby would one day be someone who would inspire and motivate people from all walks of life, touching lives all over the world.本部分重点及难点：1. Having had an uneventful（平凡的）pregnancy and no family history to expect this condition, imagine the shock his parents felt when they saw their first born, brand new baby boy, only to find he was what the world would consider imperfect and abnormal.(1) 悬垂分词。

自考汉语言本科：00015英语二...II. Text LearningThe Language of Confidence1 The language we use programs our brains. Mastering our language gives us agreat degree of mastery over our lives and our destinies. It is important to usethe language in the best way possible in order to dramatically improve ourquality of life.2 Even the smallest of words can have the deepest effect on our subconsciousmind, which is like a child, and it doesn't really understand the differencebetween what really happens and what you imagine. (1)It is eager to please andwilling to carry out any commands that you give it - whether you do thisknowingly or not is entirely up to you."Try"3 It is a small word yet it has an amazing impact upon us. If someone says,"I'll try to do that" you know that they are not going to be putting their wholeheart into it, and may not even do it at all. (2)How often do you use the wordtry when talking about the things that matter to you? Do you say "I'll try to bemore confident" or "I'll try to do that" or "I'll try to call"?4 Think about something that you would like to achieve, and say it to yourselfin two different ways. Firstly say, "I'll try to …" and notice how you feel.Next say, "I will do …" and see how you feel.5 (3)The latter makes you feel better than the first one, doesn't it? It givesyou a sense of determination, a feeling that it will be done. Listen to thepeople around you and when they say they will try notice if it gets done or not.Eliminate the word try from your dictionary and see how your life improves.（承上句）本部分重点及难点：显示重难点解析1. It is eager to please and willing to carry out any commandsthat you give it- whether you do this knowingly or not is entirely up to you.它渴望取悦，乐意听从你给它的任何命令，而你是有意还是无意地做这些完全取决于你。

II. Text LearningLife Without Limits①Imagine being born without arms. No arms to wrap around someone, no hands toexperience touch, or to hold another hand with. Or what about being born withoutlegs? Having no ability to dance, walk, run, or even stand on two feet. Now putboth of those scenarios（设想）together: no arms and no legs. What would you do?How would that effect your everyday life?②Born in 1982 in Melbourne, Australia, without any medical explanation orwarning, Nicholas Vujicic came into the world with neither arms nor legs.(1)Having had an uneventful pregnancy and no family history to expect thiscondition, imagine the shock his parents felt when they saw their first born,brand new baby boy, only to find he was what the world would consider imperfectand abnormal. How would their son live a normal happy life?What could he everdo or become when living with what the world would see as such a massivedisability（严重残疾）? (2)Little did they or anyone know that this beautiful limblessbaby would one day be someone who would inspire and motivate people from allwalks of life, touching lives all over the world.本部分重点及难点：显示重难点解析1. Having had an uneventful（平凡的）pregnancy and no family history to expect thiscondition, imagine the shock his parents felt when they saw their first born,brand new baby boy, only to find he was what the world would consider imperfectand abnormal. (1) 悬垂分词。
建议换成：Having had an uneventful pregnancy and no familyhistory to expect this condition, his parents felt great shock when they saw ….Can you imagine the shock?以下是可以接受的悬垂分词形式：Strictly speaking, nobody is allowed inhere. Judging from his accent, he must be from the South.经常这样用的分词(分词词组)有：frankly (broadly, generally, strictly…) speaking, judging from /by…,talking about…,speakingof…等。
某些句子中作状语的分词的逻辑主语虽然不是句子的主语，但可能是句中的另外某一成分，对这样的句子也可以不认为是"悬垂分词"。
课文中的这个句子属于这种情况。
再如：Seeingher health sinking rapidly, alarm clutched the father's heart.她父亲看到她健康迅速恶化，很是惊慌。
切记：该结构应慎用。
(2) only tofind…不定式表示结果。
不定式表结果时通常前面需要加only,表示出乎意料的不希望看到的结果。
例如：They rushed to the cinema,only to find the tickets left at home.They hurried back home, only to find thedoor locked.They went to the hospital without any delay, only to be told theirbeloved grandpa had already passed away.(3) what the world would consider作插入语(4)译文：在经历了一段平静无事的孕期，而且没有任何家族病史预示的情况下，我们可以想象得到当时他的父母看到这个刚出生的小男孩时会是多么地震惊，只知道他就是世人所说的缺陷和不正常。
2.Little did they or anyone know that this beautiful limbless baby would one daybe someone who would inspire and motivate people from all walks of life,touching lives all over the world. (1) 否定词放在句首句子倒装，如rarely, seldom, in no case,by no means, little, hardly等。
(2) who would inspire and motivate people from allwalks of life定语从句，先行词是someone。
(3) touching lives all over the world现在分词作状语，修饰inspire and motivate people。
(4)译文：当时他们不知道而且也没有任何一个人知道，这个漂亮的无手足的小男孩有一天会启发激励社会各阶层的人，并且感动全世界的人们。
请认真答题，答题结果将记入知识点测评的成绩！【单选题】16. He returned to work after recovery from hisillness, _______ another employee had taken his place.A．only to tellB．onlyto be toldC．only to be tellingD．to betold【答案】B【解析】本题考查不定式表示结果。
不定式表结果时通常前面需要加only，表示出乎意料的不希望看到的结果。
本句的意思是"他生病痊愈返回了工作岗位，结果却被告知另一个雇员接替了他的岗位"，故选B。
【知识点】不定式表示结果③As Nick grew up he learned to deal with his disability and started to be ableto do more and more things on his own. He adapted to his situation and foundways to accomplish tasks that most people could only do by using their limbs,such as cleaning teeth, brushing hair, typing on a computer, swimming, playingsports, and much more. As time went by, Nick began to embrace his situation andachieve greater things.（承上启下句）In grade seven Nick was elected captain of hisschool and worked with the student council（学生会）on various fund-raising eventsfor local charities and disability campaigns.④After school Nick went on with further study and obtained a double bachelordegree majoring in accounting and financial planning. By theage of 19, Nickstarted to fulfill his dream of encouraging others by sharing his story throughmotivational speaking（励志演讲）. He found the purpose of his existence, and also thepurpose of his circumstance. Nick wholeheartedly believes that there is apurpose in each of the struggles we encounter in our lives and that our attitudetowards those struggles can be the single most effective factor in overcomingthem.⑤Now at 27 years old, this limbless young man has accomplished more than mostpeople even twice his age. Nick recently made the massive move from Brisbane,Australia to California, USA, where he is the president of an internationalnon-profit organization（非盈利组织）, and also has his own motivational speakingcompany, Attitude Is Altitude. Since his first motivational speakingengagement（演讲）back when he was 19, Nick has traveled around the world, sharinghis story with millions of people, speaking to a range of different groups suchas students, teachers, youth, business men and women, entrepreneurs, and churchcongregations of all sizes. People ask Nick, "How can you smile?" (3)Then theyrealize there's got to be something more to life than meets the eye if a guywithout arms and legs is living a fuller life.本部分重点及难点：显示重难点解析3. Then they realize there's got to be something more to life than meets the eyeif a guy without arms and legs is living a fuller life.(1) There is something to/ in sth. ……有意义，有道理(2) live a full life 生活充实(3) 译文：接着他们意识到，如果一个没有四肢的人过得比普通人更充实，那么人生的含义必定超出了我们目光所及的范畴。
