选词填空。

here,　　there,　　bring,　　take

1．－Where is my notebook?

－It's over ________.

2．Come ________, I need your help.

3．Please ________ these things to your brother. He left them at home.

4．Can you ________ some things to school? I need my ID card, my notebook and my pencils.

细心的同学会发现英语中很多单词是两两出现的，如father和mother，sister和brother。此类的词称对应词，以上几个均为名词对应词。take和bring为动词对应词，take是把某人或某物带走，离开说话者所在的地方。而bring恰恰相反，它指把某人或某物带来，带到说话者所在的地方。here(这里)和there(那里)是一对地点对应词。

小博士：细心的同学们肯定发现了有些名词有单数(singular)和复数(plural)两种形式，而有些名词只有单数形式，这是怎么回事呢？让我来告诉你吧。英语中，名词按其所表示的事物的性质，可分为可数名词(countable noun)和不可数名词(uncountable noun)，可数名词有复数形式，不可数名词一般没有复数形式。名词单数变复数的变化规则见下表。

比一比，看谁写的单词多！

1　　直接加-s的单词有：________________________________.

2　　加-es的单词有：___________________________________.

3　　变y为i再加-es的单词有：__________________________.

4　　不规则变化的单词有：_______________________________.

　　本篇大意是：木匠约翰给主人公的妻子做了一个小饭桌，结账时的账单上把成本费17.00、油漆料钱1.50、工价8.00和日期10一起相加，多计价10元，结果被主人发现了，但他并没有直接批评多要钱的木匠，只是诙谐地说：“月底30日做比月初10日做，还要贵些，是不是？”而且只付了木匠应得到的26.50元钱．很明显，本篇比上篇更难些，因上篇中主人公怀特和厂家双方处理的问题是直接的，直言不讳，而本篇中的主人公却是明人做暗事，肚内藏机关，木匠虽然诡谲，主人却更机灵，一眼看穿了木匠的把戏，但他处理问题颇有技巧，既解决问题，不多花钱，又不搞得很僵，双方不快，体现了现代生意场中的交往策略和洽谈风格．我国正在建设社会主义市场经济，这是法制化、规范化的市场经济，反对不正当的竞争．此文有一定的现实意义，文中的内容联系着当代的社会生活，通过英语试卷，同样可以检验学生：的审视能力．

　　Our village carpenter(木匠), John Hill, came one day and made a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows. When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill(账单) for the job.

　　My wife said to me, quietly, “That's his ninth cup of tea today.” But she said, in a loud voice, “It's a beautiful table, dear, isn't it?”

　　“I'll decide about that when I see the bill,” I said.

　　John laughed and gave me his bill for the work. I read:

　　When I was looking at the bill, John said, “It's been a fine day, hasn't it? Quite sunny.”

　　“Yes,” I said. “I'm glad it's only the 10th of November.”

　　“Me, too,” said John. “You wait-it'll be a lot colder by the end of the month.”

　　“Yes. Colder-and more expensive! Dining tables will be ￡20 more expensive on November 30th, won't they, John?”

　　John looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes? I gave his bill back to him.

　　“If it isn't too much trouble, John,” I said, “please add it up again. You can forget the date.”

　　I paid him ￡26.50 and he was happy to get it.
