This story reminds us that you can never know whats possible unless you try to make it happen. remind v. 提醒；使想起 remind sb. of/about sth. 提醒某人想起某事 e.g. The picture reminds him ofhis beautiful hometown.这幅画让他想起了美丽的故乡。remind sb. to do sth. 提醒某人去做某事e.g. Please remind me to come back early.请提醒我早点回来。【运用】根据汉语意思补全下列英语句子，每空一词。 这个故事让我想起了我的童年。This story _ _ _ my childhood. 今天晚上你能提醒我给汤姆打电话吗？Could you please _ _ _ _ Tom up tonight?(2) I think its a little bit silly. bit n. 有点；稍微 a little bit (= a little) + 形容词或副词或比较级时，表示“一点儿” e.g. Im a little bit tired. Lets take a short rest. 我有点累了，让我们休息一会。 She is a little bit shy. 她有点害羞。 辨析： a bit of + 不可数名词 “一点” e.g. She poured a bit of salt water in her mouth. 她往嘴里倒了一些盐水。silly adj. 愚蠢的通常指由于缺乏常识、判断力或稳健而作出令人可笑的行为和举止, 在句中可用作定语或表语。 e.g. I was silly to get out with a coat in a cold day. 在这样冷的天气里没有穿外套就出门，我真傻。 (3) But what could Yu Gong do instead of moving the mountains? instead of 是复合介词，后接名词、代词、动词的-ing形式或介词短语等，意为“代替，作为的替换”。e.g. If you cant go, hell go instead of you. Jack went swimming yesterday instead of playing basketball. The doctors went to Shanghai by train instead of by car. I gave her some advice instead of money. Will you go to the meeting instead of me? instead与instead of 只有一词之差，但在用法上区别很大。instead是副词，意为“代替”，在句中只能用作状语。e.g. We have no coffee. Would you like some water instead? Donna never studies. Instead, she plays table tennis all day.Exercise: If time is enough, do some more exercise. 1. Yu Gong found a good way _ (solve) the problem.2. You should kept _ (try) and never give up. 3.

It is so interesting a book that many people want to buy it. Step 4 New words Look at the big screen and learn the new words and expressions: 1. stepsister n. 继姐（妹） e.g. Jennys father remarried and shes going to have a stepsister. 珍妮的父亲再婚了，她将有一个继妹。2. prince n. 王子 e.g. The witch changed the prince into a frog. 巫婆将王子变成了一只青蛙。3. fit v. 适合；合身e.g. The new shoes dont fit, so she gave them back.新鞋子不太合适，因此她将它退回了。4. couple n. 两人；两件事物 e.g. The new couple is moving in next week. 新婚夫妇下周迁入新居。5. smile v. 笑；微笑 e.g. Ms. Smith smiles at all the children. 史密斯老师向所有孩子们微笑。6. marry v. 结婚 作及物动词时，后面必须跟宾语。常见错误表达方式：与某人结婚 marry with sb. e.g. He is going to marry Jane in May. 他将于五月与简结婚。7. 常用词组：get married (to sb.)e.g. My aunt got married to a lawyer last year. 去年我的姑姑嫁给了一位法官。 8. fall in love 爱上；喜欢上e.g. They fell in love at first sight. 他们一见钟情。Step 5 PracticeWork on 4a: 1. Tell Ss to read the sentences in 4a and try to fill in the blanks with unless, as soon as, sothat. 2. 方法指导：首先，先阅读所给的词组，明确每个词组的意思。 其次，通读全句，理解大意；然后，根据句意及句子中上下文意的提示来确定空格处的意思。3.学生们，按老师指导的方法进行阅读，并逐句推敲每空应填什么词组，在实际的运用中提高自己的阅读能力、分析能力及综合运用能力。 4. 最后，教师与同学们一起校对答案，并对学生们有疑问的地方进行解释，或做出合理的分析点拨。 示例： 1. _ her father died, the stepsisters made her do all the chores. as soon as; 点拨：分析句子结构可知，后一句“继姐让她做所有的家务”是主句，上一句“她的父亲死后”应是句子的时间状语。因此，应用as soon as 来引导时间状语从句。 as soon as 意为“一就”，时态遵循“主将从现；主过从过”的原则。 2. She was _ busy _ she had no time to make a dress for the party. so that; 点拨：分析句意可知“忙”所导致的结果是“没有时间为聚会做一件礼服”。 so that 意为“如此以至于”，常用于结果状语从句，表示上文动作所产生的结果，故空格处应用sothat。前后句时态，要保持一致。 3. The mice knew that _ they helped her make a dress, she would not be able to go to the party. unless; 点拨：句意“公主知道，除非他们帮她做一件礼服，她就会不能去参加那个晚会。”可知前一句是后一句的条件。 unless 意为“除非；如果不”，引导条件状语从句，相当于if条件状语从句的否定句；时态遵循“主将从现；主过从过”的原则。 4. _ the prince saw her, he fell in love with her.as soon as;点拨：句意“王子一看到她，就爱上了她”，可知上一句应为一时间状语从句，故应用as soon as来引导， 表示“一就”之意。 5. The prince knew _ the girls foot could fit the shoe, it was not the right girl. unless; 点拨：句意“王子知道，除非女孩的脚与鞋子合适，否则就不是他要的女孩”，可知上下句之间存在条件关系 故应用unless一词。6. The new couple were _ happy _ they couldnt stop smiling when they got married. 点拨：句意“这对新婚夫妇是如此的幸福，以至于他们不停地在笑。”，可知上下文之间存在因果关系，“高兴”的结果是“不停地在笑” ，故应用sothat句式。Work on 4b: 1. 让学生们阅读短文，了解短文的大意，为进行填词做好准备。2. 认真阅读每个句子，分析句子的时态，根据上下文确定括号中单词应该填的时态。3. 逐句进行分析推敲，确定括号中单词的恰当时态。4. 最后，通读一遍短文，进行综合理解，看短文内容是否通顺，合理。5.
