Lesson 9——A cold welcome

On Wednesday evening, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike twelve in twenty minutes' time. Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly someone shouted, ‘It's two minutes past twelve! The clock has stopped!’ I looked at my watch. It was true. The big clock refused to welcome the New Year. At that moment, everybody began to laugh and sing.

一、摘要写作：

We went to the Town Hall on New Year’s Eve. A lot of people had gathered there. (There were a lot of people there.) (A lot of people gathered by the Town Hall on New Year’s Eve.) The Town Hall clock would strike twelve in twenty minutes’ time. It stopped at 5 to 12. Someone found this at 2 past twelve. Then everyone began to laugh and sing.

二、时间状语

时间状语的位置一般在句首或者句末，有时候也可以放在句中，但一般不能放在谓语动词和宾语之间。从语气上来看，放在句首时的语气最强，放在句末次之，放在句中则不强调。

On Saturday morning, I went on a business trip to Beijing.

He left for Shanghai yesterday.

Chinese economy is now developing rapidly.

课文中没有出现将时间状语放在句中的句子。英文中有许多所谓的频度副词，表示事件发生的频率，这样的词有：always, usually, often, frequently, sometimes, occasionally, seldom, 这样的词用做状语的时候，经常放在句中。比如：

He always waits for me at the door.

They often laugh at us.

She seldom watches TV.

三、作文参考

On Saturday morning, I went on a business trip to Beijing. It was the first day of a long holiday and a lot of people had left home to travel all over China. The plane to Beijing was crowded. It took off at nine thirty, 30 minutes late. Two hours passed and then, at eleven thirty, the pilot announced that we would land at the Beijing Airport in fifteen minutes’ time. I closed my eyes, and waited and waited, but the plane was still flying. Suddenly, someone shouted, “We have landed!” I looked out of the window. It was true. The plane stopped safely by a large building. At that moment, everybody began to clap hands and shout “thank you” to the pilot.
