重要句型或語法
1、情態(tài)動詞的用法
本課側重的是情態(tài)動詞must和need以及與實義動詞短語have to的用法。如：
I must leave now.
You needn't be so rude about it.
We mustn't buy things we don't need.
You don't have to wait for me.
課文主要語言點
Do you call that a hat?' I said to my wife. 'You needn't be so rude about it,' my wife answered as she looked at herself in the mirror. 1)call sth. what，把什么叫做什么。注意朗讀時要讀出I的諷刺語氣。 2)needn't是need作為情態(tài)動詞的用法，后面直接跟動詞原形。 3)be rude about it，不講理、不客氣。 4)look at oneself in the mirror，照鏡子。
I sat on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited. 1)sit on，坐在...之上。如果是坐在沙發(fā)上，因為人的身體會陷進去，可以用sit in the sofa。 2)注意作者在本句中對所座的椅子進行了細節(jié)描述，凸顯了作者等待時的無聊。 3)注意整句話and后面就以一個單詞waited結束，凸顯了作者的無奈與無聊。
We had been in the hat shop for half an hour and my wife was still in front of the mirror. 1)可提問學生為什么此處的be要采用過去完成時had been的用法(因為作者要描述的是自從他們進了店里到看到她妻子還站在鏡子面前照鏡子，已經(jīng)過去半小時了，是要描述過去發(fā)生的動作持續(xù)到過去的某個時間)。 2)注意句中的“my wife was still in front of the mirror”意在表達我妻子還在照鏡子試帽子。
We mustn't buy things we don't need,' I remarked suddenly. I regretted saying it almost at once. 1)注意mustn't(禁止;不能)與needn't(不必)的區(qū)別。當要把must所在的肯定句改為否定句時，其否定形式為needn't。 2)注意we don't need是things的定語從句，中間省略了that。need在句中用作實義動詞，表示“需要”。 3)remark，評論、注意到。 4)注意regret的兩種用法：regret to do，遺憾地做...;regret doing，后悔做...。 5)almost at once，馬上。almost在此起強調(diào)作用。
You needn't have said that,' my wife answered. 'I needn't remind you of the terrible tie you bought yesterday.' 1)needn't have done，沒必要做...。這是對過去發(fā)生的事情的虛擬。注意與后面的needn't do(對現(xiàn)在情況的描述)的區(qū)別。 2)remind sb. of sth.，提醒某人某事。 3)注意you bought yesterday是tie的定語從句，中間省略了that或which。
I find it beautiful,' I said. 'A man can never have too many ties.' 'And a woman can't have too many hats,' she answered. 1)find sth. how，發(fā)現(xiàn)什么東西怎么樣。此時的find表示“覺得，認為”。 2)A man can never have too many ties. 男人有再多領帶也不過分。 3)A woman can't have too many hats. 女人有再多帽子也不過分。
Ten minutes later we walked out of the shop together. My wife was wearing a hat that looked like a lighthouse. 1)時間+later，多長時間之后。 2)together，一起。 3)可提問學生此處的wear為什么采用過去進行時(作者是為了形象地描述他妻子走出店里時的樣子，試圖引起讀者的注意)。注意wear(側重穿好的狀態(tài))與put on(側重穿的動作)的區(qū)別。 4)that looked like a lighthouse用作hat的定語從句。
讀寫重點
注意課文中出現(xiàn)的“A man can never have too many ties.”和“A woman can't have too many hats.”。否定副詞+too，表示“再...也不為過”，如：
One can never be too careful when driving a car.
