☆教材解读☆
1....,Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays... 
on weekends 意为“在周末,每逢周末”(美式英语); 英国人则习惯使用 at weekends 或 at the weekend。on weekdays在工作日。21教育名师原创作品
Many people go shopping on/at weekends.
许多人在周末去购物。
We work on weekdays and have a rest on weekends.工作日时,我们上班;周末,我们休息。
2.The Taylors are a typical American family.Life for Cathy Taylor’s three children is very busy. 
“the+姓氏的复数形式”指该姓氏夫妇二人或全家人,是复数含义,作主语时谓语动词用
复数形式。
The Whites enjoy living in China.
怀特一家人很喜欢在中国生活。
The Zhangs are both doctors.
张家夫妇都是医生。
3.They have a quick dinner,and then it’s time for homework. 
◆have a quick dinner相当于have dinner quickly,quick是形容词,意为“快的”,修饰名词;quickly是副词,意为“快地,迅速地”,修饰动词。
◆It’s time for sth.和It’s time to do sth.都表示“该到……时候了”,to是不定式符号,故其后要接动词原形,for是介词,故其后要接名词。表示“该到某人做某事的时候了”,在不定式前面加上for sb.即可。
It’s time to have supper.
=It’s time for supper.到吃晚饭的时候了。
It’s time to go to bed.该睡觉了。
It’s time for us to have a rest.
我们该休息一下了。
4.In some families,competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older,... 
continue v.持续;继续存在。

【拓展】　continue doing sth.相当于 go on doing sth.继续做某事(原来的事情);continue to do sth.继续做某事(指做另一件事);continue with sth.继续做某事。

他晚餐后继续写作。
After reading Chinese,let’s continue to read English.读完语文后,我们继续读英语。
We’ll continue with our work.

5.Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes. 
send sb.to sp.意为“ 把某人送往某地”,to为介词。
He sent his son to a good school.
他把他儿子送到了一所好学校。
【拓展】　 (1)send sb.to do sth.意为“派某人去做某事”。
She sent me to pick up her son last week.
她上周派我去接她儿子。
(2)“send sb.+宾语补足语(形容词等)”表示“使某人处于某种状态”。
　　The bad news sent him sad.
这个坏消息让他很悲伤。
【固定搭配】　send for 派人去请;send away派遣,送出,解雇,把……送往远处; send up发射;send off寄出,给……送行。
6.And they are always comparing them with other children. 
compare...with...表示“把……与……相比较”,指对比两者的相同点/不同点,一般指两个同类事物之间的比较。
If you compare Marx’s works with Hegel’s,you’ll find many differences.如果你把马克思的著作同黑格尔的著作相比较,就会发现许多不同之处。
【拓展】　compare...to...表示“把……比作……”,通常只用来指出两者的相同点或相似点。

(1)excuse指为免受指责和推卸责任而找的“理由,原因”,也就是我们常说的“借口”。
Too much work is not the excuse for absence.工作太忙不是缺席的理由。
(2)cause意为“起因,原因”,指引起某种结果的必然原因,即主要事实方面的原因,常和effect连用,表示因果关系。
I don’t know the cause and effect.
