1. In today’s world of computerized working and developing technology, continued education is often essential for people to meet the changing requirements of their profession. 在工作電腦化和科技不斷發(fā)展的今天，為了滿足人們職業(yè)的不斷變化的需求，繼續(xù)教育是非常必要的。
(1) 此句中應(yīng)注意幾個(gè)非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞computerized, continued , developing和changing，在句中作定語(yǔ), 分別限定其后面的名詞。過(guò)去分詞表被動(dòng)，現(xiàn)在分詞表示正在進(jìn)行。

e.g. The accounts section has been completely computerized. 會(huì)計(jì)科已完全計(jì)算機(jī)化了。
computerize 的后綴- ize或 –ise表示“使…,…化”。類(lèi)似結(jié)構(gòu)的詞有modernize(現(xiàn)代化), realize(意識(shí)到)，apologize(道歉)，popularize(使…受歡迎)等。
(3) 此句中continued為形容詞，作定語(yǔ)。 意為：“繼續(xù)不停的(going without stopping)”。
e.g. We have accumulated rich experience for the continued education of government employees and professionals.我們?cè)诮M織和實(shí)施公務(wù)員和專(zhuān)業(yè)技術(shù)人員繼續(xù)教育方面積累了相當(dāng)豐富的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。
(4) meet/satisfy/ fulfill the requirements “滿足…的需求”。

① be of benefit to “對(duì)…有好處”。benefit前可用“real, great, much, immense”等形容詞修飾。
e.g. Doing morning exercises will be of benefit to your health. 做早操對(duì)你的健康有利。
② "(be)+of+名詞"結(jié)構(gòu)中的名詞是抽象名詞時(shí),相當(dāng)于其中名詞所對(duì)應(yīng)的形容詞
的意思,說(shuō)明被修飾詞具有某種特征或?qū)傩浴３Ｓ玫拿~有:
use/importance/help/value/interest/quality/service/benefit/necessity等。

(1) 此句中應(yīng)注意句型It is clear that …,it 是形式主語(yǔ)，真正的主語(yǔ)是that引導(dǎo)的從句。從句的主語(yǔ)是動(dòng)名詞短語(yǔ)educating girls, improved health and levels of income作lead to 的賓語(yǔ)。
類(lèi)似的句型有：
It is clear ( obvious, true, possible, certain....) that .....
常譯為“清楚（顯然，真的，肯定．．．）”， 是主語(yǔ)從句最常見(jiàn)的一種結(jié)構(gòu)。

= That he’s round and tall like a tree is very clear.

(3) improved health 其中的“improved” 是過(guò)去分詞作定語(yǔ)，限定health。
e.g. School health programs lead to increased student wellness and improved ability to learn.
學(xué)校的健康活動(dòng)改善了學(xué)生的身體狀況，并且也提高了學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)能力。

● Integrating skills，
1. Learning style theory suggests that different people have different ways of obtaining information and use various methods to demonstrate their intelligence and ability.
學(xué)習(xí)風(fēng)格理論表明不同的人有不同的獲得信息的方式，并且用不同的方法表現(xiàn)出他們的智力和能力。
(1) suggest
①本句中suggest表示“暗示、表明”時(shí)，后接名詞或that從句（從句謂語(yǔ)用陳述語(yǔ)氣）。
e.g. Are you suggesting that I’m too old for the job? 你的意思是說(shuō)我太老而不能勝任這個(gè)工作了？
His failure in the exam suggested that he had not worked hard enough．
他考試沒(méi)及格表明他學(xué)習(xí)還不夠努力。
②suggest表示“建議、提議”時(shí)，后接名詞、代詞、-ing形式或that從句（從句謂語(yǔ)用“should+動(dòng)詞原形”，should可以省略）。
e.g. I suggest we go shopping together and look for a nice tank．我建議我們一起去商店買(mǎi)一個(gè)精致的魚(yú)缸。
I suggested that he（should）leave early．我建議他早點(diǎn)動(dòng)身。
(2) obtain 取得某物，經(jīng)（買(mǎi)、借、拿等）獲得
e.g. There are people who gamble or cheat to obtain money. Those people try to get money by dishonest means. 有一些通過(guò)欺騙和賭博獲得錢(qián)的人，他們總想通過(guò)不誠(chéng)實(shí)的手段來(lái)得到錢(qián)。
I obtained this record for you with difficulty. 我好不容易為你弄到了這張唱片。
(2) demonstrate
① demonstrate在本句中指“表明，表示（show）”.
e.g. His sudden departure demonstrates that he is unreliable. 他的突然離去表明他的不可靠。
② demonstrate 在高二教材中出現(xiàn)時(shí)，表示“示威集會(huì)或游行 ”。
可構(gòu)成詞組，demonstrate (against/in favor of sb /sth) 示威游行反對(duì)或贊成某人或某事。
它的名詞形式有demonstrator游行者,示威者，demonstration 示威或游行。
e.g. Thousands demonstrated against the price increases. 數(shù)以千計(jì)的人舉行示威，抗議物價(jià)上漲。
The police arrested more than 100 demonstrators. 警察逮捕了100多名示威游行者。
2. Although experts have many ideas and categories of learning, it is evident that people learn in three basic styles: learning through seeing, learning through listening and learning through doing. 盡管專(zhuān)家對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)有很多的想法和分類(lèi)，但顯然，人們通過(guò)三種基本的方式來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)：視覺(jué)型學(xué)習(xí)，聽(tīng)覺(jué)型學(xué)習(xí)和動(dòng)覺(jué)型學(xué)習(xí)。
(1) It is evident that …主語(yǔ)從句。相當(dāng)于 “It is clear/obvious that …”.詳見(jiàn)Language Study 的第3句解析。
(2) evident 形容詞，表示“明顯的，清楚的（obvious, clear）”。
e.g. He looked at his children with evident pride. 他以明顯的得意態(tài)度望著他的孩子。
The applause made it evident the play was a hit. 掌聲表明這個(gè)戲劇很成功。
3. Learning through doing means being active in exploring the environment and finding out about things by moving and touching. 在實(shí)踐中學(xué)習(xí)意味著積極地探索環(huán)境，通過(guò)觸摸去了解事物。
(1) 此句中注意…by doing sth 這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)，用來(lái)表示通過(guò)某種方式或手段。本文中
出現(xiàn)的還有：
e.g. Students who find it easiest to learn a new concept by hearing a teacher explain it are learning through listening. 有一些學(xué)生，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)學(xué)會(huì)一個(gè)新概念的最簡(jiǎn)單的方法是聽(tīng)老師解釋?zhuān)@些學(xué)生是通過(guò)聽(tīng)來(lái)學(xué)的。
4. Students who have this learning style take a hand
