　　语法 ：with access to the Internet …是一 个完全倒装结构，起强调作用，正常的语序是:
　　some truly life-changing advantages come with access to the Internet
　　完全倒装是把句子的谓语全部置于主语之前。在下列几种情况下多用完全倒装：
地点状语位于句首，且主语为名词而谓语为不及物动词的陈述句。
e.g. On the top of the hill stands a big pine tree.
山顶上树立着一棵松树。
b. 在“there + be / live / lie / stand / ...” 结构中。
e.g. Once there lived an old fisherman in a village
by the sea.
以前海边的村庄里住着一位老渔夫 。
c. here, there, now, then, out, in, up, down, off, away等副词位于句首，主语为名词，谓语动词通常是be, come, go, run, rush, fly, follow, fall等词，时态为一般时。
e.g. Here are some advertisements about cars.
这是有关车的一些广告。
There come the rest of the students.
剩下的学生来了。
Down came the rain and up went the umbrellas.
雨下了，伞被打起来了。
注意：当主语是代词时，主语和谓语的语序不变。
e.g. Away he went.
他离开了。
Down it came.
它下来了。
d. 有时为了强调或者为了使句子平衡，常把句子的表语置于句首，构成完全倒装。
e.g. Present at the meeting were Professor Smith,
Professor Brown and many other celebrities.
出席会议的有史密斯教授、布朗教授和其他知
名人士。
Gone are the days when they had nothing to eat.
他们没有东西可吃的日子一去不复返了。
e. such作表语提前时。
e.g. Such is the influence of TV that it can
make a person famous overnight.
电视的影响如此之大，以至于它能使
一个人一夜成名。
f. 有时为了强调，可将谓语部分的动词-ing形式、动词-ed形式或不定式置于句首。
e.g. Standing beside the table was his wife.
站在桌子旁边的是他的妻子。
Buried in the sands was an ancient village.

（No matter where we are,） we are able to keep in contact
No matter where引导让步状语从句 主句with loved ones, find long-lost friends and discover whole new communities (who share our hobbies）.
who引导定语从句
无论我们在哪里，我们都能与所爱之人保持联系，找到久违的朋友，并发现与我们有共同爱好的全新群体。
“no matter +疑问词”引导的让步状语从句意为“不管/无论……”,可与“疑问词+-ever”互换。
No matter who/Whoever gives us beneficial advice,we will be appreciative.
不管谁给我们有益的建议，我们都会感激。
No matter what/Whatever happens,I will carry this joy with me always.
不管发生什么，我都会让这份快乐一直伴随着自己。
No matter which/Whichever option we choose,there'll be disadvantages. 无论我们选择哪个，都会有不利之处。

特别注意“no matter+ 疑问词”引导让步状语从句；“疑问词+-ever”既可以引导让步状语从句，又可以引导名词性从句。引导名词性从句的whoever相当于anyone who,anybody who;whatever相 当 于 anything that。 在这种情况下， whoeverwhatever相当于定语从句中的“先行词+关系代词”。。I would like to see whoever(=anyone who)is not busy now谁现在不忙，我想见他。
