3 What can you learn from Franklin’s story
Franklin had only two years of education in his childhood. But his love of learning was already strong. This early interest led him to teach himself a lot later.
Franklin taught himself by reading a lot of books he borrowed. He also learned by doing his own experiments, like when he studied storms. His way of learning is really inspiring. It shows his self-motivation and determination.
From his story, we can learn that we should always have a thirst for knowledge. We should be curious about the world and not be afraid to explore and learn on our own. Also, we should use our knowledge to help others, just like Franklin did by letting people use his inventions for free.

3. As one of 17 children in a big family, Franklin had only two
years of education before he had to start working.
(1) 分析结构：这是一个复合句。As one of 17 children in a
big family 是介词短语，作状语；Franklin 作句子的主语，
是动作的执行者；had 作谓语，表示过去的状态或动作；
only two years of education 是宾语，表示富兰克林所接受
教育的时长。before he had to start work是时间状语从句，
说明富兰克林接受教育的时间段。
(2) have to 必须；不得不
(3) start doing sth.=start to do sth. 开始做某事
e.g. I have to leave now.
我现在必须走了。
e.g. She starts reading books every morning.

4. While working in his brother’s print shop, Franklin taught
himself by reading a lot.
(1)长难句分析：这是一个主从复合句。从句是由While 引导的时间状语从句，省略了主语he 和be 动词was。主句主语是Franklin，taught himself 表示“自学”，by reading a lot 是方式状语，说明“自学”的方式。
(2) teach oneself by doing sth 通过做某事自学
e.g. I teach myself how to play the piano by watching videos.
我通过观看视频自学弹钢琴。

昨天我从学校图书馆借了一本小说。
(2) stay up (late) 熬夜
e.g. I used to stay up late watching movies with my mom.
我以前常和妈妈熬夜看电影。
(3) in order to 意为“为了”，表目的，后接动词原形，可放在句首或
句中，其否定形式是in order not to。in order to 相当于so as to，但so as
to 不能置于句首。so as to 的否定形式为so as not to。in order that 意为
“目的是，为了”，后接从句，可以与in order to 进行同义转换。
e.g. I go to bed early in order to wake up on time in the morning.
为了早上能按时醒来，我早早上床睡觉。
I got up early in order not to/so as not to miss the train.
为了不错过火车, 我早早就起床了。
He studied hard in order that he could pass the exam.
= He studied hard in order to pass the exam.
为了能通过考试，他努力学习。
(4) return 作及物动词，意为“归还”，相当于give back，常见用法：return sth. to sb. 把某物还给某人。
e.g. I borrowed this car from my brother, so I have to return it to
him tomorrow.
我从我哥那里借了这辆小汽车，所以我明天就得还给他。
动词return 作“回来；返回”讲时的用法：
① return to+ 地点名词，意为“返回某地”。
② return from+ 地点名词，意为“从某地返回”。
e.g. Tom will return to Beijing tonight.
今晚汤姆将返回北京。

6. Curious about the world around him, Franklin once became interested

他没有在晚会上出现，这很奇怪。

7. Then he found out that storms moved from one place to another.
(1) 分析结构：这是一个复合句，包含一个由that 引导的宾语
从句。主句中he 是主语，found out 是谓语；that storms moved
from one place to another 是宾语从句，在从句中，that 是引导
词，storms 是主语，moved 是谓语动词，from one place to
another 是状语。
(2) find out 找出，查明
e.g. We shall find out the truth early or late.
我们迟早会查明事实真相。
(3) from ... to ... 从……到……
e.g. We go to school from Monday to Friday.

10. As a lifelong learner, he saw learning as an exciting and endless journey, full of wonder and success.
长难句分析：这是一个简单句。As a lifelong learner是状语，说明主语he 的身份或角色，谓语是 saw，宾语是learning，as an exciting and endless journey是宾语补足语，full of wonder and success作后置定语修饰journey。
