You can look up her telephone number in the book.

你可以在电话簿里查找她的电话号码。

Will you look up a train for me in the timetable?

你可不可以帮我在行车时刻表中查找一个列车车次?

11. As you go to your home by the ocean may you never forget those sweet hours that we spent in the Red River Valley and the love we exchanged mid the flowers.当你通过海洋到你家时，祝你永远不会忘记我们一起在红河谷度过的那些甜蜜时光以及我们一起在花丛中交换的爱情。

这是一个含有时间状语从句的主从复合句，主句中又含有两个定语从句。hours和love既在主句中作forget的并列宾语，又分别是其后定语从句所修饰的先行词。在前一个定语从句中，关系代词that既引导定语从句，又在从句中作spent的宾语;在第二个定语从句的主语we前，省略了既引导定语从句，又在从句中作exchanged宾语的关系代词that或which。主句中may用倒装语序表示祝愿。例如：

May you succeed!　　　　祝你成功!

May you be happy!　　　　　祝你幸福!

May God bless you!　　　　　愿上帝保佑你!

as用作连接词表示时间关系，用来引导时间状语从句，意思也是“当……的时候”，往往可与when或while通用，但它着重指主句和从句中的动作或事情相并发生。例如：

I saw him as he was getting off the bus.　　　　当他下公共汽车时，我看见了他。

As he walked on，he felt himself getting more and more tired.　他继续往前走的时候，感到越来越疲乏。

As the day went on，the weather got worse.　随着时间的推移，天气变得更糟。

I was coming in as he was going out.　　　　我进来时他正出去。

My pen trembles as I write it.　　　　我一边写，笔一边颤抖。

Helen heard the story as she washed.　　　　海伦洗衣服的时候听到这个故事。

As I left the house I remembered the key.　　当我们离开房间的时候，我想起了钥匙。

【词语辨析】

1. spend，cost，take，pay表“花费”

(1)spend的主语必须是“人”，宾语可以是钱、精力、时间等。

如：

He spends much money on books.　　　 他平时将很多钱用在买书上。

He spent a lot of money(in)buying a new car.　　　 他花很多钱买了一辆新车。

(2)cost的主语必须是“物”或“事”，表示“费用”、“耗费”，后接life，money，health，time等，侧重于“花费”的代价。

如：

The book cost him one dollar.　　　 这本书用了他一美元。

It costs you 12 pounds to go to London by ship.　　　 乘船到伦敦要用12英镑。

(3)take表示“花费”时，其主语一般是“一件事”，有时主语也可以是人，它说明事情完成“花费了……”。

如：

It takes a lot of money to buy a house as big as that. 买一座像那样的房子要花很多钱。

(4)pay的基本意思是“支付”，作为及物动词，宾语可以是“人”、“钱”，

They had to pay two hundred francs.　 他得付一百法郎。

(5)pay for的宾语为“物”、“事”，for表示支付的原因。

Don't worry about money;I'll pay for you.别担心钱，我会替你付的。

2. other与else两者都有“别的，其他的”的含义，但用法有区别：

(1)other是形容词，用于名词的前面;else作副词或形容词用时，常修饰不定代词或疑问代词，并置于其后。

Some are playing football. Other students (或用代词Others) are watching.

一些学生在踢足球，其他的学生在观看。

What else can you see in the classroom?　　在教室里你还能看见其他的什么东西?

(2)other与else有时可相互转换。

= He is taller than anybody else in his class.　他比班里的其他学生都要高。

What else can you see?

=What other things can you see?　你还能看见其他东西吗?

3.receive与accept两者都做“收到”讲，但具体含义有所不同。

We received a warm welcome there.　　 我们在那里受到了热烈的欢迎。

(2)accept的意思是“接受”“领受”“承认”“接纳”。指经过考虑，同意或愿意接受强调“收到”的结果是“接受”了。

For many of us，the idea of a family is a lot narrower than it used to be. Today children go away to college，and take up jobs wherever chances seem greatest. So instead of growing up in a family with grandparents，aunts，uncles and cousins，many of us are truly connected only to our parents and brothers.

Many kids today know little of the lives of their relatives and don't care deeply about them.

Whether we realize it or not，this feeling of being disconnected makes people feel a kind of lonely. “People need to feel connected，”says Joy Browne，a doctor in the U.S. “And they will do it in the easiest ways.”When family members aren't connected，what could be easier than forming(形成) a connection to famous people?

This isn't something unusual，of course. People cried when Mei Yanfang died in 2003. It's natural and in most ways harmless to feel that way. But that's unhealthy，because these relationships(关系) aren't two-way.

For that，we need to stay connected to our own families. Parents can help by telling their children stories about their grandparents，aunts and cousins，and by telling them the children's latest activities and interests.

We can use technology to keep connected with each other. It's easy to send e-mails to granddad Better yet，take a vacation with members of your relatives--not with any other person. A week or so of relaxing vacation can be a great way to tie up family ties. And when a bad thing happens，no one can be as helpful as your relatives. Because no matter how much we cry for the famous people，they can't be there to cry for us.

5. Which of the following does the writer seem to tell us?

A. People should love famous people better than they love their relatives.

B. We should always take vacations with our own family members.

C. The idea of a family should stay the same.

D. The feeling of love should be two-way.

6. The writer talks about technology here to _______.

A. tell us the way to improve family relationship

B. encourage us to tell others what is happening

C. let us know something new about science

D. teach us how to send an e-mail

7. The reason why people feel lonely is that ___________.

A. the famous people don't cry for them

B. people want better jobs and good schooling

C. people aren't as closely connected as before

D. kids today know little about their relatives

8. What does the writer write this passage for?

A. To keep families from breaking.

B. To tell us to care more about each other.

C. To be as helpful as we can.

D. To advise families to keep closely connected.
