Grammar focus
1. One of the +最高级
Jennifer Doyle is a chef in one of the world’s remotest places.
Eg. ·长江是世界最长河流之一。
·友谊是我们可以享受的最大乐趣之一。

————————————————————————————————————————

·一个克服困难的最好办法就是去直面它。

————————————————————————————————————————

2. 现在分词做状语
Three years ago, Jennifer worked as Head Chef for a multinational company, preparing business
lunches and party food.
【1】区分现在分词和过去分词
·现在分词：主动的，正在发生的动作
Eg. Falling leaves:
A barking dog:
The rising sun:
A sleeping child:

·过去分词：被动完成的动作
Eg.The exploited class:
The oppressed nations:
A respected writer:
Trained employees:

·对于文中正在下沉(sink)的泰坦尼克号应该用下面哪个分词来表达呢？
The sinking Titanic
The sunken Titanic

 最后我们看一个含有超多分词的例句,试着来翻译一下。
Police hunting the killer of a part-time police officer stabbed outside her home in northwest London are
seeking a man wearing a hooded top seen running away from the scene.

【2】现在分词做状语
·首先我们先明确 2 个概念：逻辑主语和句子主语
我们先来看个句子：
Waiting for a bus, a glove fell on my head.
从上面的介绍中看出分次的逻辑主语必须与句子主语保持一致。我们来看下下面的小故事：

2
There was a mutual attraction between my sister and a trainee working at her office. However, both
being shy, they could barely even speak to each other. During an office party, my sister went into the
kitchen to get a drink and the trainee followed. Opening the freezer, he took out some ice, placed it on
the work surface and began smashing it with a tin of coffee. Smiling, she explained, “I just want to break
the ice between us.”
判断下面句子是否正确：
(1) After doing my homework, the method was gripped.
(2) Arriving factory , the door was found locked.
(3) Being a pop fan, Jay Chou is her favorite.
(4) Looking out of the global window, there are lots of people in the street.
