六. 重点、难点讲解：
1. How do you get to school?
I ride my bike. / I walk to school.
（1）“how”提问，意为“如何”、“怎样”。此处询问交通方式。表示不同交通方式可用本课出现一系列动词短语，如：ride a bike, take a bus, drive a car, fly to, take the subway, take a train, take a plane, take a boat / ship, walk to 等。也可用介词短语，如：by bus / bike / car / train / plane （air）/ ship, on foot 等，注：此用法在介词短语前需用动词作句子主语，如go / come / get to 等，且by后表交通工具的名词前无任何限定词，如冠词the , a/ an 或代词my / his / this / that 等。
例：
He takes the bus to school. = He goes / gets to school by bus.
We decided to go there on feet. = We decided to walk there.
－How will you go to England?
－By air, or maybe by train. I’m not quite sure.
（2）与“how”有关的提问总结如下：
How far （询问距离）多远；How long（问时间或长度）多久，多长；How many（问数量，后跟可数名词复数形式）多少；How much （问不可数名词数量，也可问价格）多少；How often（问频率）多久一次；How soon（指将来时间，时间长短）多久；How about …? （问同上话题，另一情景如何、怎样后跟名词、代词或动名词，等于What about …? ）征求对方意见…怎样？How do you like…? = What do you think of …? （征求对方对某事物的看法）你认为…怎样？
此外“how”可以引导感叹句，如：How delicious Chinese dishes are! How nice your new scarf is! How fast he runs!
注：引导感叹句时语序为：How + adj. / adv. +主语+谓语！
（3）get to 表“到达”，同意短语“arrive in / at ”, reach.
注：在副词home, here, there前不使用介词to / in / at 等。
到家：get （back）home, 到那儿：get there
2. It takes about 25 minutes to walk and 10 minutes by bus.
（1）固定句型：It took / takes / will take sb. some time to do sth.
表“做某事花去某人多长时间”，动词take随时态变化，it为形式主语，真正主语是句中不定式部分。“take”指“花费（时间）。”
例：It took the builders about 15 years go finish that big project.
It takes me half an hour to get to my office from home every day.
Doing homework takes us most of our spare time on schooldays.
（2）take指“带走”时与“bring”（带来）互为反义词。
take sb. to …带某人去某处
例：The early bus takes him to school.
（3）短语：take a walk / shower / seat / rest take one’s temperature, take medicine
3. Lin Fei’s home is about 10 kilometers from school.
be +距离＋（away）＋from…“距离…多远”。
4. He has a quick breakfast, then he leaves for school.
（1）“have”作“吃（饭）”、“喝（饮料）”意思。
have breakfast /lunch /supper 注：三餐饭前无限定词。
（2）leave for +目的地，指“离开去往某处”
The scientists will leave for Antarctic （南极）next Wednesday.
5. The bus ride takes about 25 minutes.
“ride”此处的名词，意为“车程”。ride用作动词短语：ride a bike / horse骑自行车（骑马），ride in a bus / ship乘公共汽车（船）
6. In other parts of the world, things are different.
other: 后常限可数名词复数，意为“其他的，其余的”
other: （形容词）“其它的”，后跟可数名词复数
others: （代词）泛指“他人（物）”
the others: （一定范围中）“其他人（物）”，相当于代词
the other: 用于固定短语“one …, the other…”“（两者中）一个…另一个…”
another: （形容词）“另一个”“另一”，后跟可数名词单数，也可能跟复数，（代词）“另一个”
7.
“虽然”，“尽管”，表让步连词，常引导让步状语从句。注，不可与but在一句话中前后同时使用。
Although / Though he is the youngest, he is the most hard-working student in his class.
8. depend on / upon “依靠，依赖”，后跟名词、代词或宾语从句，不定式。
例：In China, it depends on where you are.
It depends on how to think about it.
对于提问，不能一概回答时，可以用“It depends”来回答，意为“得因情况而论”。例：
－Do you like reading books or reading on the Internet?
－It depends. Sometimes I like reading books, sometimes I prefer reading on the Internet.
9. In places where there are rivers and lakes, like Hongshanhu and Kaishandao, students usually go to school by beat.
（1）此句中“where”引导一个定语从句，修饰表地点的名词“places”。通常“who”引导修饰人的定语从句，that或which引导指物的定语从句，whose指人物关系。
例：She is the girl who played guitar at the party.
He showed us an English story book which is bought in the United States.
Kate is talking with her art teacher whose painting is on show in the city hall.
（2）“like”此处为介词，意为“例如，像…”。注意区分like在文中的词性。sound like / be like / look, like 短语中“like”为介词。
10. That must be a lot more fun than taking a bus!
（1）“than”表比较连词，意为“比…”“较之于…”，前需用形容词或副词比较级。
（2）主语“that”指代前文整句话。
11. Don’t worry.
（1）祈使句否定形式为：Don’t + 动词原形。
（2）worry为动词，worried为形容词，worry也可用作名词，“烦恼、担忧”。
例：Don’t be late / careless next time.
Don’t be nervous. Take it easy.

Traffic is a big problem in many cities around the world. Traffic is especially bad during rush hour－the time when people go to work or school and the time when they go home. Many people take buses, subways, or trains to work, but many other people drive their cars. As a result, the streets are very busy, and traffic is very bad.
Many cities are trying to solve their traffic problems. Some cities are building more roads. Other cities are expanding their bus and subway systems.
Many cities are trying to reduce the number of cars on their roads. Some highways have carpool lanes－special lanes for cars with two, three, or more people. In some cities, people drive their cars only on certain days of the week. For example, in Athens, people with license plate numbers ending in 0 through 4 drive on some days, and people with numbers ending in 5 through 9 drive on other days.
Every day around the world, more and more people drive to and from work in more and more cars. As a result, traffic is a global problem.
根据内容，回答问题。
Please write down the solutions（解决方法）of traffic problems according to the passage.
