Clever Monkey

閱讀提示

小猴原本是森林中最聰明的，大家都要向他請教。可是，別人都在努力的時候，他卻無所事事，直到有一天……想了解這個故事嗎?快來讀一讀吧:

Monkey is the cleverest in the forest， but his brother isvery“stupid”(1).When other animals have difficulties(2)，they like to ask Monkey to help them.

For example， Little Pig wants to build a house; Oriole(3) wants to learn staff(4); Panda wants to learn drawing. Monkey says to them，“they are very easy.” Then he teaches them how to build house， how to learn staff and how to paint colors.

After that， Little Pig， Oriole and Panda begin to work hard every day. Even(5) Monkey’s brother leaves home and doesn’t say “Good-bye” to him. Nobody knows what he is doing.

But Monkey still stays at home and does nothing.

One day，

Monkey reads the news from the newspaper. It says， Little Pig is an architect(6); Oriole is

a singer and Panda is a painter. And his “stupid” brother is a doctor. Now

Monkey knows why he doesn’t see them for a long time.

(1)stupid笨的，與clever 是反義詞。這兒加引號表示“被認(rèn)為是笨的，天資不高的”

(2)difficulties困難，這兒是復(fù)數(shù)。單數(shù)形式是difficulty，形容詞是

difficult， 與

easy， simple

是反義詞

(3)oriole黃鸝

(4)staff五線譜

(5)even甚至

(6)architect建筑師

1.在童話故事中，為了簡便、一目了然，可以直接把動物名作為名字(首字母大寫)，如文中的Monkey，Panda;也可以加上一個形容詞作為名字，如Little Pig， Small Bird， Big Lion，等等。

2.在這個故事中你找到了幾個職業(yè)名詞? 結(jié)合你已在課本中學(xué)到并掌握的，積累在這里:

3.再學(xué)一招。請看文中兩個句子:(1)Nobody knows what he is doing.(沒人知道他在干什么。)(2)Now Monkey knows why he doesn’t see them for a long time.( 現(xiàn)在小猴明白為什么很久沒見著他們了。)這樣的句子叫“賓語從句”，實(shí)際上是由兩個簡單句“復(fù)合”起來的。例如(1)是由 What is he doing?和Nobody knows.變化而來。(2)是由 Why doesn’t he see them for a long time? 和Now Monkey knows.復(fù)合而來。變化的時候，要注意從句用陳述句形式。像這樣用在動詞后面的賓語從句很常見，也很實(shí)用，再如:

I wonder when he did it.(我不知道他什么時候干了此事。)

I want to know whether/if he broke the window.(我想知道他是否打碎了玻璃。)

現(xiàn)在你也能造幾個這樣的句子嗎?
