Lesson 40 Food and talk
一阅读课文
课文内容：
Last week at a dinner party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold. Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. I tried to make conversation.
‘A new play is coming to “The Globe” soon,’ I said. ‘Will you be seeing it?’
‘No,’ she answered.
‘Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year?’ I asked.
‘No,’ she answered.
‘Will you be staying in England?’ I asked.
‘No,’ she answered.
In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.
‘Young man,’ she answered, ‘if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!’二单词解析
1. Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress.
（1）large adj. 修饰人时，指身材高大，并且往往丰满或肥胖。
He’s a very large child for his age.
就其年龄来说，这孩子个头很大。
Who’s the rather large lady in the hat?
那位戴帽子的丰满女士是谁？
（2）unsmiling不苟言笑的；表情冷漠的, 不友好的
He was unsmiling and silent.
他十分严肃，一言不发。
2. I tried to make conversation.
conversation（非正式）交谈，谈话
make conversation找话题闲聊。一般指出于礼貌和你不熟悉的人找话题闲谈，而不是你真的想和他们聊。这类交谈在英语中也称为small talk。
Nice party, isn’t it? I said, trying to make conversation.
聚会不错，是吗？我说，试着找个话题聊聊。
3. In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.
(1) despair n. 绝望，常与in搭配构成短语in despair在句中做状语。
He gave up the struggle in despair.
他绝望地放弃了斗争。
也构成习语be the despair of sb. 令某人担心或绝望
My handwriting was the despair of my teachers.
我的字写得很差，使老师们感到十分失望。
（2）despair v. 绝望；失去希望；丧失信心，常与of搭配，构成despair of sth/sb./doing sth. He wished to earn a living through writing but despaired of doing so.
他原想通过写作谋生，但却对此绝望了。
三语法解析
1. 重点句型
（1）Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress.
in +表示服装或颜色的词，表示“穿着”、“戴着”
She was all in black. 她穿着一身黑。
He was a big man, dressed in a suit and tie.
他是个高大的男人，穿着西服、打着领带。
（2）Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating.
fix on sb./sth. 集中（目光、注意力、思想等）于
I kept my eyes fixed on the horizon.
我凝视着地平线。
be busy doing sth. 忙于做某事
James is busy practicing for the school concert.
詹姆斯正忙着为学校音乐会排练。
2. 重点语法
（1）将来进行时态（will/shall + be + doing）
a. 表示委婉客气
‘Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year?’ I asked.
“您今年去国外度假吗？”我问。
b. 表示将来某时刻或某时段正在进行的动作
I will be having an English class at 8 tomorrow.
我明天八点正在上英语课。
c. 在口语中表示按计划或安排即将发生的动作
This time tomorrow I shall be flying to New York.
明天这个时候我将飞往纽约。
（2）虚拟语气（与现在事实相反或不符的条件从句）
在与现在事实相反的条件从句中，if从句假设一种与现在事实相反的情况，主句则表达在这种假设的情况下会出现的结果。if从句的谓语动词用过去时态，be动词用were，主句的谓语动词则为would + 动词原形。
‘Young man,’ she answered, ‘if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!’“年轻人，”她回答说，“如果你多吃点，少说点，我们两个都会吃得好的！”
If you went to see him, he would be delighted.
倘若你去看望他，他会高兴的。

Students specialize in a particular type of practical joke： the hoax. Inviting the fire brigade to put out a nonexistent fire is a crude form of deception which no self-respecting student would ever indulge in. Students often create amusing situations which are funny to everyone except the victims. When a student recently saw two workmen using a pneumatic drill outside his university, he immediately telephoned the police and informed them that two students dressed up as workmen were tearing up the road with a pneumatic drill. As soon as he had hung up, he went over to the workmen and told them that if a policeman ordered them to go away, they were not to take him seriously. He added that a student had dressed up as a policeman and was playing all sorts of silly jokes on people. Both the police and the workmen were grateful to the student for this piece of advance information. The student hid in an archway nearby where he could watch and hear everything that went on. Sure enough, a policeman arrived on the scene and politely asked the workmen to go away. When he received a very rude reply from one of the workmen, he threatened to remove them by force.

Lesson 1 A private conversation 私人谈话 Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. 'I can't hear a word!' I said angrily. ' It's none of your business,' the young man said rudely. 'This is a private conversation!'.

Lesson 41 Illusions of pastoral peace Key to Composition Special Note: Pram this point in the course, while the Students' Book suggests a choice of two compositions, only one is chosen as a model. A possible answer Plan and ideas for composition Title: Give the country Introduction: Never understood city-lovers — city a place to visit, to go shopping, to see special exhibitions, etc. — not live in Development: Advantages — living in country — quiet — more healthy — less traffic — fresh air — fresh food from farms or village shops — people polite and friendly. . . Disadvantages —living in city —noisy —dirty —stressful —people always in rush —rude, unfriendly Conclusion: Always a mystery why some country people say — like to live in city Composition I have never understood city-lovers. For me a city is a place to visit for a few hours, to go shopping, to see special exhibitions, shows, plays and films. But it's not a place to live in, even though thousands do. Usually they are tied to the city by their jobs or perhaps even by family. There are so many advantages to living in the country. It is quiet and more healthy. There is far less traffic on the roads and the air is so much fresher. Instead of buying everything in packets from a supermarket, in the country we can always buy fresh food from farms or village shops every day — milk, fruit, fresh eggs, vegetables and meat. And we don't have to look at "Use by. . . " labels to see when we must use something by: we know that everything is fresh. And the people in the country are always so polite and friendly too — as long as you obey the unwritten rules of the countryside, that is. On the other hand, there are so many disadvantages to living in a town or city. The first thing most country people notice is the noise and dirt. It must be the traffic, but many country people find it difficult to breathe in the city. And it is stressful, too: people always seem to be in a rush, and they are so often rude and unfriendly. There are so many advantages to living in the country that it is a mystery to me why some country people say they would like to live the city. In fact, I just cannot understand how anyone can even consider living in the city.
