Period Two Language Points
1.But even though he had won everything it was possible to win in his sport, Li Ning retired with the feeling that he had failed.
It is +adj +for sb. + to do… 这个结构的形容词常常是easy, difficult, hard, important, necessary等,常与事物的特征有关
解出这道题对这个男孩来说是困难的。. 学好英语对我们来说很重要。
拓展:It is + adj. + of sb. + to do…这个结构的形容词常常是good, kind, nice, wrong, clever, silly, (im)polite等,常与人的性格特点有关

3
同位语从句跟在一个名词(idea, news, fact, promise, answer, belief, doubt, hope等）后面,对其做进一步解释、说明（有时也会被其他词把它和名词分开） e.g. We heard the news our team had won. We must face the fact we had lost the game. Word came the old man’s son died in the battle. 同位语从句和定语从句的区别：
（1）从意义上讲，前者对名词加以补充说明，后者对名词进行修饰和限定。 （2）从结构上讲，前者由连接词引导，后者由关系词引导。
（3）从内涵上讲，前者所说明的名词与从句没有逻辑关系，后者所限定的名词是从句逻辑上的主语、宾语、表语等。
（4）引导同位语从句的连词不能省略，而引导定语从句的关系词作宾语时可以省略。 （5）同位语从句说明的名词多为抽象名词，而定语从句则无此限制。 e.g. The news they had won the game arrived soon.（同位语从句） The news you told me yesterday is true.（定语从句）
2.But it was this sense of failure hat made him determined to succeed in his new life.
这是一个强调句。强调句的句型结构是 It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+句子其余部分。这个句型可以用来强调一个句子中除了谓语以外的任何成分。注意：强调句除强调人可以用who之外，其余都要用that
e.g. I met John in the street yesterday.
（强调主语） （强调宾语） (强调地点状语) (强调时间状语) 强调句型的疑问句有：
一般疑问句：Is/Was it…that … Was it you that /who met John in the street yesterday? 特殊疑问句：特殊疑问词+一般疑问句Who was it that met John in the street yesterday?
3.The number of young people with money to spend was on the increase — and sport had never been so popular.有钱消费的年轻人的数量在增加, 而体育运动也得到前所未有的普及。 the number of a number of_____________ on the increase 正在增加

在进行中 在逃跑/奔跑中 正在减少
4.Li Ning’s designs were attractive, and they had a major advantage over their better-known rivals — they were cheaper.李宁运动服不仅设计吸引人, 而且比起那些著名的商业对手, 它拥有一个主要优势, 那就是价格便宜。
