5．布置作业 1）预习第11单元；2）完成练习册中安排的练习。
四、难句分析
1．I’m not that foolish．我还不至于愚蠢到那种地步。
“that”为副词，意为“那样（so），达到那样地步（to such a degree）”。例如：
Do you think the problem of pollution is that serious？你认为污染问题有那么严重吗？
After that she never came back that late．打那以后，她再也不回来得那样晚了。
Can hard work change a person that much？难道劳累能使人变化那么大吗？
另外，“this”也有同样的用法。如：
Why did you ask for this much？你为什么要得这么多？
2．It looks as if it hasn’t been washed following the instructions．看来好像没按说明来洗涤。
It looks as if…意为：看来似乎……，看来好像……。例如：

It looks as if she is not so healthy as she used to be．看来她好像没有以前那么健康。
It looks as if they haven’t finished the work yet．看来他们似乎还没完成工作。
following the instructions在句中作方式状语，相当于according to the instructions的意思。例如：
You should do things following the rules．你应当依照规章办事。
3．I insist that you give me my money back．我坚持你把钱退还给我。
insist后跟that从句，从句中谓语动词用should+动词原形，是虚拟语气的一种用法。其中，should可以省略，意为：“坚决要求”。例如：
I insist that we（should）write to her immediately．我坚持认为我们该立刻给她写信。
They insisted that Miss Li（should）report this to the manager himself．他们坚持要李小姐把这事报告给经理本人。
insist还可跟on/upon，接名词或-ing形式。意为“坚持要求某事或做某事”。例如：
They insisted on visiting the hospital the next day．他们一定要第二天参观医院。
Why did you insist upon a reply from them？为什么你一定要他们答复？
4．I just didn’t want to put you to the trouble of changing a large note．只不过我不想麻烦你破开一张大票子罢了。
put sb．to the trouble意为：给某人添麻烦。例如：
I hope we haven’t put you to any trouble．希望我们没有给你添麻烦。
I’m sorry for putting you to so much trouble．给你添了许多麻烦，真是过意不去。
He didn’t want to put me to the trouble of meeting him at the station．他不想麻烦我去车站接他。
5．To sell such a suit as that to a millionaire！竟然把这样一套衣服卖给一位百万富翁！
这是不定式的一种特殊用法，相当于一个感叹句，常常用来表示惊异、气愤、祝愿等情绪。例如：
To think he knew about it all the time！没想到他一直知道这件事！
Oh！To be youny again．啊，要能再年轻就好了。（本句可以理解为：How wonderful it is to be young again！）
To ask such silly questions！竟然提出了这样的傻问题！（本句可以理解为：How silly you are to ask such questions！）
6．She did up the buttons in such a way that one at the bottom was not done up．她这样扣钮扣，最底下的那个不扣上。
do up意为：扣、系、包等。例如：
Do up your shoes，please．把鞋带系好。
Why didn’t you do all the bottons up？你为什么不把扣子都扣上？
You’ve done up your bottons the wrong way．你把钮扣扣错了。
do up还可解释为：收拾、整理、修理、打扮。
She did herself up before going to the party．去晚会前她打扮了一下。
Why is he always doing up his hair？他干吗总是整理头发？
