定语从句
1. 定语从句的功用和结构
在复合句中，修饰某一名词或代词的从句叫做定语从句。被定语从句修饰的词叫做先行词。定语从句必须放在先行词之后。引导定语从句的关联词有关系代词和关系副词。例如：
Look at the photos that I took on my trip.
看我在旅行时照的照片。
划线部分为定语从句，用来说明前面的photos。我们称photos 为先行词；that 为引导词，在从句中用来代替photos.
找出文中出现的定语从句。
总结：that多指物，有时也指人，在定语从句中作主语或宾语。例如：
Look at the photos that I took on my trip.
看我在旅行时照的照片。
My dad’s got a camera that takes photos under water.
我爸爸有一个能在水下照相的相机。

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor, Dr. Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never invited us to play in his yard, but he was a very kind person.
When Dr. Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees. He owned a large field and wanted to make it a forest.
The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them, and that if you watered them, each baby tree would grow weaker and weaker, so you had to make things difficult for them and pick out the weaker trees early on.
He talked about how watering trees made for shallow(浅的) roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of water under the earth by themselves. Deep roots were very important.
So he never watered his trees. He’d planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he’d beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.
Dr. Gibbs died several years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant about twenty-five years ago. They’re very big and strong now.
I planted some trees a few years back and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of caring too much, whenever a cold win blows in, they shake a lot.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. Mostly I pray (祈祷) that their lives will be easy. But lately I’ve been thinking that it’s time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to face difficulties. There’s always a cold wind blowing somewhere, so what we need to do is to pray for roots that reach deep into the brave heart, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we could face it strongly and won’t be beaten down.
（ ）1. We know from the reading the doctor ______.
A. didn’t know how to plant trees at all B. wasn’t good at his own medical job
C. had his own ways of planting trees D. had nothing to do but plant trees
（ ）2. When Dr. Gibbs said, “…pick out the weaker trees early on.” he meant that ______.
A. some weak trees would be easily found out at the beginning
B. he would choose the weak trees to water earlier
C. the weak trees would be sent to his patients later
D. he would not plant weak trees so early anymore
（ ）3. The passage tells us that the writer ______.
A. should beat his trees with a rolled-up newspaper
B. didn’t often water his trees
C. didn’t have a large field
D. took too much care of his tree
（ ）4. The writer wants to change his prayer, hoping that ______.
A. his trees will be stronger than Dr. Gibbs
B. his trees will not be beaten down
C. his sons will be better at planting trees
D. his sons will be able to face difficulties
（ ）5. Which can be the best title of the reading?
A. Watering Trees B. Growing Roots
C. Doctors and his Neighbor D. Father and His Children

【励志故事】
现代剥夺
有一出著名的西方荒诞剧，叫《椅子》，其内容发人深省。一对老年夫妇一个劲地往屋里搬椅子，说是要等待一个前来演讲的人，就这么搬呀搬呀，直到搬得满屋都是椅子。至于结果，则是满屋的椅子“剥夺”了他们最后一点生存空间，那个虚无的人没来，他们自己却被“椅子”赶了出去，失去了他们赖以生存的自由窝。这就是内涵极厚重的现代戏，它昭示的主题是：在现代，常常不是人“压迫”了椅子，而是椅子“剥夺”了人！
于是，想起了种种颇具现代文明色彩的“现代剥夺”！
比如电视是现代文明的产物，但你若只迷恋看电视而不再愿意看书，你就会在无形中被剥夺了“思索”与“再创造”的能力。再如，自打有了快速便捷的现代通讯手段，人们就动辄打手机打电话，呼BP机，不再喜欢动手写信了。当您在享受现代文明时，千万别忘了您的创造精神与主动精神，换言之，谁忘了这一点，谁就会被现代文明“甜美地”剥夺一次！
