To help students learn about verbs with the direct object and indirect object ■

To help students use some words Procedures 1. Warming up by writing, by imitation, a passage of your own based on the text PLANT EXPLORATION IN THE 18TH AND 19TH CENTURIES A possible version for reference The stamps in my collection look so familiar that often I do not realize that many of them actually come from countries far away．Collecting “exotic” stamps，as they are called，dates back to my primary school days．My father saw the value of bringing back stamps from distant countries．The first stamp collecting activity recorded in my diary then was around 1988 when the company sent my father away to Japan to study gardening However，it was not until 2000 that the collection of exotic stamps began on a large scale．My mother had become interested in stamp collecting and my classmates took great interest in collecting foreign stamps．This attraction to exotic stamps grew as my classmates，like the older students in my school，moved into other classes or other schools．They took the opportunity of going on stamp expeditions，often facing many difficulties including money shortage, time pressure，parents’

complaints and heavy workload．

An important group of collectors were Class Three girls who，by the middle of

2001，were beginning to study in the US．One such girl，Guo Aixing，was enrolled into New York College in 2002．She collected stamps of trees and bushes including those of the Tree of Heaven．Just before she left college，she sent some Tree of Heaven stamps to China. They arrived on 10, April, 2003 and these stamps from New York were put on exhibition throughout my city and 1ater，in 2004, the stamps were sold to a rich man.

Li Qing was a very famous British stamp collector，who accompanied his mother, a doctor, on her first voyage from China to Britain．The purpose of the trip for her mother was to take photos of sea life she came across．Li Qing and his mother collected foreign stamps whenever they met a foreigner on the ship．During the voyage, they collected vast quantities of stamps on the ship known as Red Flag．None of these stamps had been recorded by Chinese before．Li Qing called the bay where Red Flag had anchored Stam Bay．

Keeping stamps neat and safe at home is an enormous challenge. Large numbers of stamps need much space at home and much care by the owner The idea of stamp collection was completely changed with the invention of Internet．This invention allowed exotic stamps to be seen easily．In 2006，I found 312 very valuable exotic stamps online. I chatted with the owner and bought them for only 5,000 yuan! 2. Discovering useful words and expressions Do plants grow better if you talk to them? I don’t know. Now let’s go to page 34 to skim the two exercises text to get an overview of what are being talked about. Go to page 32 to scan the text for words and expressions to complete the two exercises on page 34. 3. Learning about verbs with the direct object and indirect object 当及物动词有两个宾语时，两个之间有些无须介词，有些则需要。 两个宾路都无须介词的动词包括下列这些：

① Please show me the letter. ② Can you buy me a meal? ③ I will give you the latest newsletter. ④ John has sent Betty

a cheque of $1000. 在①-④这样的句子里，有个直接宾语，也有个间接宾语。前者一定是“物”、后者一定是“人”。它们之间不需要介词作桥梁。另一些双宾语的动词，就需要介词的帮助了。关于这点，可以分四方面来谈。 ⑴两个宾语可通过不同介词对换位置，如： ①a. The boss entrusted him with the job.

b. The boss entrusted the job to him. ②a. He tried to impress the new idea on us.

b. He tried to impress us with the new idea. ③a. A general should inspire his soldiers with great courage.

b. A general should inspire great courage in his soldiers. ⑵不同介词，不同意思，如： ④a. Who introduced John to you?

b. Who introduced John into the new office? ⑤a. We warned him of the hazard.

b. We warned him against the hazard. （a. 指存在的危险；b. 指可能的危险） ⑥a. When compared with each other, there are differences between the twins.

b. We may compare the heart to a pump. （a. 指同类人或物对比；b.指两样不同东西互相比拟） ⑦a.

Helen was disappointed of the prize.

b. Helen was disappointed in the prize. （a. 指没得奖而失望；b. 指对所得的奖不满而失望） ⑧a. The cake is allied to the flour.

b. Is Taiwan allied with America? （a.指两样东西有关联；b. 指两个国家有联盟关系） ⑶两个宾语与介词各就各位，固定不变，如： ⑨ The police cautioned the tourists of the danger ahead.（警惕）

⑩ Can a doctor cure June of her chronic illness?（医治） ● The company has to compensate its staff for their losses.（弥补） ● No one can deprive a citizen of his human right.（剥夺）

⑷以返身代词为宾语的惯用语，如： ● I hope you will avail yourself of the golden opportunity. （利用） ● My friends often pride themselves on their rare achievements.（以……自豪） ● Jill knows how to insinuate herself into her boss's favour.（向……献媚取宠） ● We look down on those ingratiating themselves with their superiors.（讨好……） 4. Revising useful structures You are going to do the three structure exercises on page 35 in pairs. For exercise 1, you are asked to rewrite the six sentences using to or for with the indirect object. For exercise 2, complete the sentences using the –ing form or the infinitive of the verb as the object. For exercise 3, find the one mistake in each of the six sentences and correct it. 高考单选题中的“间接宾语（从句）”

33. Please remind me _____ he said he was going. I may be in time to see him off. A. where B. when C. how D. what (2006全国I) 答案是B。… when he said he was going. I may be in time to see him off. 是（直接）宾语从句。

5. Closing down by taking a quiz Take the following sentences in direct speech and put them into indirect (or reported) speech. Tom said, "I want to visit my friends this weekend." Tom said he wanted to visit his friends that weekend. Jerry said, "I'm studying English a lot at the moment." Jerry said he was studying English a lot at that moment. They said, "We've lived here for a long time." They said they had lived there for a long time. He asked me, "Have you finished reading the newspaper?" He asked me if I had finished reading the newspaper.

"I get up every morning at seven o'clock.", Peter said. Peter said he got up every morning at seven o'clock. Susan reassured me, "I can come tonight." Susan told me she could come that night. She said, "I really wish I had bought that new car." She told me she really wished she had bought that new car. Jack said, "He must be guilty!"

Jack said he must have been guilty. Cheryl asked her, "How long have you lived here?" Cheryl asked her how long she had lived there. He said, "I must get going. Otherwise, I'm going to be late." He told me he had to get going. Otherwise he was going to be late.
