课文部分

I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures. Many people pretend that they understand modern art. They always tell you what a picture is ‘about’. Of course, many pictures are not ‘about’ anything. They are just pretty patterns. We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material. I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. They notice more. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not. She came into my room yesterday. ‘What are you doing?’ she asked. ‘I’m hanging this picture on the wall,’ I answered. ‘It’s a new one. Do you like it?’ She looked at it critically for a moment. ‘It’s all right,’ she said, ‘but isn’t it upside down?’ I looked at it again. She was right! It was!

语言点

They always tell you what a picture is ‘about’.

　　　In my company, there are about forty car spots.
　　　我看他要走了。
　　　I think he’s about to leave.
　　　“我为Vincent感到难过，”她说。
　　　‘I’m sorry about Vincent,’ she said.

We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material.
我们喜欢他们和我们喜欢漂亮的窗帘是一个道理。
in the same way 和…一样
例句：我们用与他同样的方法修理机器。
　　　We repaired the machine in the same way as he.
in the way 阻碍，妨碍
例句：虽然他认为在帮我们准备饭,但他只是碍手碍脚。

‘but isn’t it upside down?’
难道不是贴反了么?
否定疑问句
写法：把not放在一般疑问句主语之后，构成一般疑问句的否定结构。如用not的简略式n’t，则须將n’t和一般疑问句首的be,助动词或情态动词写在一起。
否定疑问句举例
Is she not a student?
Isn’t she a student? 她不是学生吗?
Will they not come?
Won’t they come? 他们不来吗?
Can she not do it?
Can’t she do it? 她做不了吗?

否定疑问句的答语：
般疑问句否定结构的答语是肯定还是否定,
由答语的肯定或否定来决定。
答语是肯定的，用 yes+肯定结构
答语是否定的，用 no+否定结构
例如：Can’tshe come with us?
　　　Yes, she can. [她回来]
　　　No, she can’t. [她不来]
Is she not a worker? 她不是工人吗?
Yes, she is. 不，她是工人。[肯定回答]
No, she is not. 是的，她不是工人。[否定回答]
不用计较是肯定句还是否定句，只要按事实情况回答，符合实际的就是yes，不符合就用no。
绝不可以 No, l do.或 Yes, I don’t.
