Step 2. Language points
1.spend…(in/on) doing sth.
花費(fèi)時間（金錢）做某事
（1） cost 表示“花費(fèi)（多少錢）” “需要（多少錢）”，主語一般是表示所買東西的名詞，不能是表示人的名詞
sth. costs money/ cost one’s life
at the cost of 以…為代價
（2）spend money on 和 pay money for 都可用來表示花錢買東西
（3）take和spend在表示“花費(fèi)（時間）”時所用的句型不同
take常用于:
It takes (sb.)+time+to do sth.
It是形式主語，不定式是真正的主語。
spend 常用于: spend time (in) doing sth./spend time on sth.
主語是人，注意介詞in后面是v.-ing的形式，in可省去，on后面通常是名詞
2. something后面的句子“he had noticed again and again”為定語從句，省去了“that”.
3. in a short time 立刻，很快 ahead of time 提前
at any time 隨時 at one time 從前
at times 偶爾，有時 many a time 多次，屢次
in no time 立刻，馬上 at a time 一次

6. far away用作表語或狀語
far-away用作定語
far away from只表示距離
far from除了表示距離的“遠(yuǎn)離”之外，還有“遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不，完全不，決非”之意，后接名詞、動名詞或形容詞。Far from perfect/satisfactory/the truth
They don’t live far (away).
They live at a far-away place.
The school is far (away) from my house.
I’m far from (being) happy in my present job.
7. the +比較級，
the +比較級…
(1)”(從句)the+adj./adv.的比較級…,(主句)the+adj./adv.的比較級…”這種句型表示前者和后者在程度上同樣增加或同樣減少，
要注意這一句型中的“the”并不是冠詞，前面的“the”是關(guān)系副詞，有“by how much”之意；后面的“the”是指示副詞，有“by so much”之意，前面是狀語從句，后面是主句，前后呼應(yīng)，
表示“越…就越…””愈是…,則愈是…”
[注]此結(jié)構(gòu)中的比較級可以是形容詞，也可以是副詞，主句如用一般將來時，前面的狀語從句通常用一般現(xiàn)在時代替一般將來時 。
The sooner you begin your work, the sooner you will finish it.
你越早開始工作，就越早完成它。
The more he thought of it,the happier he felt.
這件事他越想越高興。
(2)此外，該句型可省略的成分較多，不僅后面出現(xiàn)的與前面相同的成分可以省略，當(dāng)主語、謂語等在一定的情景或場合中意思明了時，也可以省略不用, 這種情況在口語中尤其常見。
The more, the better.多多益善。
The sooner, the better.越早越好。
8. come to light vi.顯露，為人所知
His past came to light.
=His past was brought to light.

辨析remain 與 stay
當(dāng)remain和stay作“保持，(人)留下“講時，可以互換。
當(dāng)表示“剩下、還有”時,通常只有remain,不用stay
當(dāng)表示“暫住”時，用stay,不用remain.
I stay in a hotel when I was in Beijing.
在北京時我住旅館。
