The first has been done for you as an example.1.He loved music and would pound spoons or forks on any surfacethat faintlyresembled a drum2.Stevie learned to play the toyharmonica so quicklythat everyone was amazed.3.Stevietaught himself toplaythepianoasquicklyas hehad once learned theharmonica.4.Withfriends,he beganplayingrock and roll music.They performed on thefrontporch ofStevie's apartment building, drawing crowds of neighbors to watch and listen and clap time to the beat.三、Language difficulties1. break into1) give sudden utterance toTheaudiencebrokeintowarmapplauseattheendoftheperformance2)begin suddenlyThe girl broke into a run at the sight ofthe school bus2.Blind andblackandpoor-whatkind of life could this new infanthave?The adjective phrase functions as an adverbial, which nomally occurs either at the beginning or theendofasentence.Eagerto meet her boyfriend early Mary went to the airport3hours earlier than the arrival of fight.Hit by a big stone, the soldier fell down dead.3. in one's wildest dreams -the expression is used to imply that a particular thing is so strange or sounlikely that one has never thought of it.None ofthe neighbors, even in their wildest dreams, could ever think of that mild-mannered MrWhite is a murderer4. wear outI) become useless or worthless as the result of useThe carpet of the Cafe soon wore out because of the firequent visit of customers.2) tire sb. greatly: cause to become exhaustedI'mwornoutafierawholeday'shardwork.5. with ease — without difficultyOnlythe well-trained horse can jump over this gap with great ease.6.hit/smash/smash hita great success ofa newplay,film, book, etcParaphrase:The newtoy is supposed tobea sure hit withkids.The new toy is supposed to be surely popular with young children.7.winning1)attractiveorpersuasiveThechildactresshadawinning smilethatwas veryimpressive2) having or bringing victoryThecrowd cheered thewinning team thatplayed sobravelyawayfiomhomeThe President is expected to settle thedispute with his winningways30

30 Since the car accident, Stevie has started to pay more attention to the world outside of music, becoming involved in a number of social and political causes. 二、Reading analysis When writing, it is often more effective to “show” the reader what you mean, by giving specific examples and concrete details, than it is to “tell” them what you mean. For example, nowhere in Text A do the authors tell you that Stevie Wonder was very musically-talented as a child. Instead, the text makes this important point by giving specific examples of how Stevie’s musical talent was expressed. Instead of “telling” you he was musically talented, they are “showing” you this. Now reread Para 3, 5, and 6 and find four or five details showing that Stevie Wonder was musically-talented as a child. The first has been done for you as an example. 1. He loved music and would pound spoons or forks on any surface that faintly resembled a drum. 2. Stevie learned to play the toy harmonica so quickly that everyone was amazed. 3. Stevie taught himself to play the piano as quickly as he had once learned the harmonica. 4. With friends, he began playing rock and roll music. They performed on the front porch of Stevie’s apartment building, drawing crowds of neighbors to watch and listen and clap time to the beat. 三、Language difficulties 1. break into 1) give sudden utterance to The audience broke into warm applause at the end of the performance. 2) begin suddenly The girl broke into a run at the sight of the school bus. 2. Blind and black and poor — what kind of life could this new infant have? The adjective phrase functions as an adverbial, which normally occurs either at the beginning or the end of a sentence. Eager to meet her boyfriend early, Mary went to the airport 3 hours earlier than the arrival of fight. Hit by a big stone, the soldier fell down dead. 3. in one’s wildest dreams —the expression is used to imply that a particular thing is so strange or so unlikely that one has never thought of it. None of the neighbors, even in their wildest dreams, could ever think of that mild-mannered Mr. White is a murderer. 4. wear out 1) become useless or worthless as the result of use The carpet of the Cafe soon wore out because of the frequent visit of customers. 2) tire sb. greatly; cause to become exhausted I’m worn out after a whole day’s hard work. 5. with ease — without difficulty Only the well-trained horse can jump over this gap with great ease. 6. hit/smash/smash hit — a great success of a new play, film, book, etc. Paraphrase : The new toy is supposed to be a sure hit with kids. The new toy is supposed to be surely popular with young children. 7. winning 1) attractive or persuasive The child actress had a winning smile that was very impressive. 2) having or bringing victory The crowd cheered the winning team that played so bravely away from home. The President is expected to settle the dispute with his winning ways
