5、les Life may give you a negative, but don't despair - it may justdevelop into abeautiful picture one day. This year, I realized my theory that I have on life. Lifeis like a 300m hurdle race. Since I run the 300m hurdles, I would know what the raceis like. The first thing to any race is worrying

6、about whether you are going to win or not.This relates to worrying about the petty things in life. Does it really matter if youwin? Is it really going to bethe end of the world? Or will you be upset if you loseand then forget about it? （1）In life we worry too much and live in the moment too little.

7、（承上總結(jié)句）（2） Next is the lining up in our own individual lanes. We each start at different spots, but the race is still the same distance for everyone（承上啟下句）（3） This relates to our lives taking us to differentplaces and putting us in different situations, but hopefully we will end up in the same place

8、, but maybe at different times. Now comes the beginning of the race. We all try to keep up with everyone andpaceourselves with other people . （4） This symbolizes that at times in everyone's lives we worry, about fitting in or being the same as other people, instead of worrying about being unique

9、. If everyone were the same, the world would beincredibly boring.本部分重點(diǎn)及難點(diǎn)：1. In life we worry too much and live in the moment too little.生活中，我們擔(dān)心得太多，而活在當(dāng)下太少。2. Next is the lining up in our own individual lanes.接下來的一步就是在我們自己的跑道站好，也就是各就各位。3. This relates to our lives taking us to different places and

11、debts end up beggingend up as a beggar / prisoner4.

T

12、his hurdle is the easiest toget over because youare not worn out from running. We all make it over this hurdle with ease . This symbolizes those obstacles in life that we struggle to get over, but we always manage to do so. You can look at that hurdle in two ways: "I can't make it over, I&#

13、39;m too tired" or "I am one more hurdle closer to finishing this race".This is an example of taking a negative situation andseeing something positive in it.(承上句) The next part of the race is every hurdle between the first and last one.(主題句)These hurdlesget tougher and tougher and you

14、 may feel as though you can't go on.This happens a lot inlife too.(承上啟下句)There may be a situation that arises where you feel as though youcan't make it and all you can think about is giving up. You mayfall over that"hurdle" or struggle getting over it, but somehow you find it in yo

15、urself to jump over it and move on with the race. Next is that last 100m of the race. You feel as though you just want to say, "No Ican't do this." (5) Again, you must find it in yourself that you can do it, and you must finish the race stronger than when you had started it.本部分重點(diǎn)及難點(diǎn)：5.

16、 Again, you must find it in yourself that you can do it, and you must finish the race stronger than when you had started it.(1) find it in yourself that you can do it, it 是形式賓語，真正的賓語是that 從句。(2) you must finish the race stronger than，stronger 是主語的補(bǔ)語，說明主語的狀態(tài)。例如：He died young / poor.名詞也可以作主語的補(bǔ)語，說明主語的狀

17、態(tài)。例如：He died a beggar.She came from her marriage a stronger person. Now lastly is the last hurdle. This hurdle is the toughest out of all of them. (6) In life we find ourselves falling and falling, and maybe getting too lost in our problems that we feel likewe have been through enough and there'

18、s no hope. That last hurdle symbolizes these situations.(承上 句)It's one step close to the end of the race. Once you finish, you look back on it and you realize that you made it not by leaping, but step by step. "Yard by yard, life is very hard. But inch by inch, life can be a cinch." 本部

19、分重點(diǎn)及難點(diǎn)：6. In life we find ourselves falling and falling, and maybe getting too lost in our problems that we feel like we have been through enough and there's no hope.生活中，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己不斷跌倒，為種種問題所困擾， 感覺自己歷經(jīng)重重磨難，仍然看不到希望。(1) find oneself falling and falling,現(xiàn)在分詞作賓補(bǔ)。(可參考Unit 7, Text A )再如：When he came to, h
