Wang Ming:
Hi, Anna. In my Chinese class today, we read a famous story called Yu Gong Moves the Mountains.
Oh, how does the story begin
Well, once upon a time, there was a very old man. There were two mountains near his house. They were so high and big
①
that it took a long time to walk to the other side.
So what happened next
Well, the old man told his family that they should all help him to move the mountains.
Hmm, but they probably couldn’t even move a small hill.
Yes, that’s what I thought, too.
Wang Ming:
Anna:
Wang Ming:

Anna:
And where would they put all the earth and stone from the mountains
Yu Gong said they could put it into the sea because it’s big enough to hold everything. So they all started digging the next day.
Anna:
Wang Ming:
Pre-listening: Look at the pictures and predict.
What may the order of the pictures be

1. A man saw Yu Gong and his (children / family) when they were working on moving the mountains.
2. He told Yu Gong he could never do it because he was old and (poor / weak).
2b
Listen again and circle the words you hear.
忙于；从事
weak形容词，在此句中意为“虚弱的；无力的”。其名词形式是weakness，意为“虚弱；弱点；懦弱”。其反义词是strong。
【拓展】
(1) weak作形容词时，还可意为“不擅长；（能力）弱的”。 be weak in意为“在某方面弱；不擅长”，反义词组是be good at/do well in。
(2) the weak意为“弱者”，相当于the weak people。在英语中“the+形容词”结构，可以表示“某一类人”。
3. As soon as the man finished (talking / speaking), Yu Gong said that his family would continue to move the mountains after he died.
4. Finally, a god was so moved by Yu Gong that he sent another (two / three) gods to help take the mountains away.
5. This story reminds us that you can never (know / see) what’s possible unless you try to make it happen.
take away意为“带走；拿走”，是“动词+副词”型短语。人称代词作宾语时，只能放在take和away之间。
remind及物动词，意为“提醒；使想起”。remind sb.+that从句，意为“提醒某人…… ” 。【拓展：remind 的其他常见用法如下】
remind sb. to do sth. 提醒某人做某事
remind sb. of sb./sth. 使某人想起某人/某物

Let me tell you the rest of the story about Yu Gong. Yu Gong and his family began to move some of the earth and stone to the sea. One day, a man saw Yu Gong and his children when they were working on moving the mountains. He told Yu Gong that he could never do it because he was old and weak.
Wang Ming：
①
②
As soon as the man finished talking, Yu Gong said that his family would continue to move the mountains after he died. His family would live and grow, but the mountains could not grow any bigger. So Yu Gong and his family kept on digging day after day and year after year. Finally, a god was so moved by Yu Gong that he sent another two gods to help
take the mountains away. This story reminds us that you can never know what’s possible unless you try to make it happen.

Teacher: So what do you think about the story of
Yu Gong
Wang Ming: I think it’s really interesting. Yu Gong
found a good way to solve his problem.
Claudia: Really I think it’s a little bit silly.
It doesn’t seem very possible to move a
mountain.
a little bit意为“有点儿；稍微”，常用于修饰形容词或副词，相当于a little，a bit或kind of。
【拓展】a (little) bit of意为“少量；一些”，用来修饰不可数名词，相当于a little。
silly形容词，意为“愚蠢的；不明事理的”，常作表语或定语，其比较级和最高级分别是sillier和silliest。
seem在此句中作连系动词，意为“似乎；好像”，后接形容词作表语，不能用于进行时。
【拓展：seem的其他常见用法如下】
seem +形容词 似乎……

2d
Role-play the conversation.
Wang Ming: But the story is trying to show us that
anything is possible if you work hard! Yu
Gong kept trying and didn’t give up.
Claudia: Well, I still don’t agree with you. I think we
should try to find other ways to solve a
problem.
Wang Ming: But what could Yu Gong do instead of moving
the mountains
【辨析：instead of与instead】
两者均可意为“代替；反而”，其区别如下：
instead of 介词短语，位于句首或句中，其后可接名词、代词或动词-ing形式。instead副词，位于句首或句末，修饰整个句子。
Claudia: Well, there are many other ways. For example,
he could build a road. That’s better and faster
than moving a mountain!
Teacher: You have different opinions about the story,
and neither of you are wrong. There are many
sides to a story and many ways to understand it.
两者都不
(1) 副词：也不。neither＋be动词/助动词/情态动词＋主语（……也不）这是一个倒装结构，表示前面否定的情况也适用于后者。
(2)代词：两者都不。其反义词为both，意为“两者都”。“neither of＋复数名词/代词”作主语时，谓语动词用单复数形式均可。
(3)形容词：两者都不（的）。其后接可数名词单数，作主语时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
1. Finally, a god was so moved by Yu Gong that he sent (two/three) gods to take the mountains away.
① was moved 是被动语态结构，意为“被感动”。
② so … that …引导结果状语从句，意为“如此……以至于……” 。
