　　2. Revise the comparison of adjectives and adverbs.

　　Step 2 Leading-in

　　There are some famous people in the world, or in a country, or in a city, or only in a school. These people are known by most of us and we talk about them very often. There also have famous people in different fields, eg. famous singers, famous politicians, or maybe they are famous for a book, etc. (write “be famous for” on the blackboard) Who is a famous person that you like? Why?

　　Get the students to guess the meaning of the word person and talk about famous people.

　　Play the tape for the students to listen and read the dialogue (Or play the video). Ask the students to answer the question: Why does Jim like Bill Gates? (Because he is a clever man)

　　Explain some difficult words and useful expressions.

　　1. be interested in. ..

　　Many young girls are interested in popular songs.

　　interest, interesting和interested三者的含义均与“兴趣”有关，它们的用法：

　　1）interest用作名词（不可数）时意为“兴趣”、“趣味”；用作动词时意为“使（人）发生兴趣”，其主语多为事物。如：

　　The work is of great interest. 这工作很有趣。

　　They’re all places of great interest in China. 它们都是中国的名胜。

　　Your story interests me.  你的经历引起了我的兴趣。

　　2）interesting是形容词，意为“有趣味的”、“引起兴趣的”，着重于主动意味，可作表语或定语。能修饰人，也能修饰物。如：

　　This new TV play is very interesting．这部新电视剧很有趣。

　　He’s a most interesting man．他是个很有趣的人。

　　3）interested也是形容词，意为“感兴趣的”“对……有兴趣的”，着重于被动意味，其主语一般为人，且多在系动词be，get，become等后作表语。如：

　　At the age of eight, the girl became interested in boating.八岁时，这女孩就对划船感兴趣。

　　2. I’m sure. . .

　　I’m quite sure she’ll like the gift.

　　3. It’s written by Bill Gates.

　　此句是被动语态，由be动词+动词的过去分词构成。表示主语是动作的承受者，介词by后跟动作的执行者。如：

　　（1）These planes are made by the students. It’s very good.

　　（2）Desks are made by workers.

　　4. It seems to be an interesting book.

　　seem在此表示“看上去”，暗示有一定依据，这种判断往往接近事实。而look着重于由视觉得出的印象，在搭配上两者都可接形容词、名词（前面常有形容词修饰）、动词不定式to be、介词短语。如：

　　He looks／seems a nice man．他看上去是个好人。

　　You look/seem tired. Let's have a rest. 看来你很累了，我们休息一会吧。

　　The boy looked/seemed to be very ill. 那个男孩看上去病得很重。

　　但以下几种情况，只能用seem，不能用look：

　　 l）后面接动词不定式to do时。The new teacher seemed to know all his students．新来的老师好象认识他所有的学生。

　　2）用于It seems the that…结构时。It seemed that he lost something．看来他丢了什么东西。

　　3）用于There seemed +不定式结构时。There seemed to be hundreds of people on the playground. 运动场上好象有好几百人。

　　5.It was one of the best-sellers of the New York Times list. (L90)

　　best—seller意为“畅销品”，在这里的意思是指“畅销书”。

　　New York Times 是专有名词《纽约时报》。

　　《纽约时报》是美国有声望的报纸，该报重视国内、国际重要事件的新闻报道，现在该报纸作为美国图书馆的主要参考资料，外交官、学者和政府官员的权威读物。
