句中的way可以和this,that等詞連用。如：

whydoesheactthisway?

他為何這樣做？2．Someoftheclothesaresoldincharityshops,somearegiventothepoor,andothersaresenttofactoriesforrecycling.一些衣服放在慈善店出售，一些送給窮人，還有一些送到工廠循環(huán)再生。句中的some…,some…,andothers…表示“一些……,一些……,還有一些……”。如：Somestudentsarereadingquickly,somearetakingnotes,andothersaresearchingforinformationontheinternet.一些學(xué)生在安靜的看書，一些在做筆記，還有一些在上網(wǎng)查東西。3．Thesenewtypesofenergycostverylittleandwillneverrunout.

這些新型能源不僅成本低廉，而且用之不盡。短語runout意思是“用完，耗盡（供應(yīng)品）如：

Ourfoodsoonranout.

我們食物很快吃完了。4．Rememberthateveryonecandosomethingtomakeadifference!

記住每個(gè)人都可以做點(diǎn)對(duì)保護(hù)環(huán)境有益的事！短語makea/no/some/muchdifference

意思是“有/沒有/有些/有很大作用、關(guān)系、影響”。如：

Theraindidnotmakemuchdifferencetothegame.

這場(chǎng)雨對(duì)比賽沒多大影響。那年我參加瑞士巴塞爾博覽會(huì)，除了接單做貿(mào)易，還零售商品，以擴(kuò)大出口商品的影響。

一天，有位中年婦女領(lǐng)著孩子來參觀，那是個(gè)非常招人喜歡的小男孩，他趴在我們櫥窗前，不愿走開。當(dāng)時(shí)我們出售一款活動(dòng)式鬧鐘，圖案是雞啄米，隨著秒針走動(dòng)，雞群會(huì)一下一下啄米吃。看得出小男孩非常喜歡，兩眼滿是希冀的目光，他多次拖住媽媽的腿，好想媽媽能掏錢買下這款鬧鐘。我看到后拿出鬧鐘，想送給小男孩，他媽媽有禮貌但堅(jiān)決地拒絕了，她十分真誠(chéng)的對(duì)我說，雖然鬧鐘很漂亮，

但瑞士人從不買自己并不需要的東西，對(duì)孩子不能滿足他不合理的欲望。有朋友問我知不知道瑞士人煮雞蛋的故事，瑞士人習(xí)慣在平底鍋里放一粒米深的水，等水沸騰了就關(guān)掉電源，利用余熱將雞蛋煮熟，這樣可以節(jié)約一半電費(fèi)。他要我別笑話他們的生活態(tài)度。在全球首富國(guó)家對(duì)一個(gè)腰纏萬貫的富商，我怎敢？我從心底里欽佩他們富而不奢始終守住節(jié)儉的心態(tài)。

有位客商買我們好多商品，開了一輛小貨車來提貨。隨車
