不定式在句中作目的状语时，常译成“为了”。不定式一般放在被修饰词之后，但为了强调目的也可以放在句首。为了加强语气，不定式前还可以加上in order或so as，即构成词组。例如：

We should do whatever we can （in order/so as） to help them.

2﹒目的和结果状语从句

状语从句在句中起状语作用，修饰主句的谓语动词、形容词、副词或整个句子。状语从句按用途可分为时间状语从句、地点状语从句、原因状语从句、条件状语从句、目的状语从句、结果状语从句、让步状语从句、比较状语从句和方式状语从句。本册书中主要出现了结果状语从句、时间状语从句和原因状语从句。本模块学习的是目的和结果状语从句。

结果状语从句通常由以下从属连词引导：so... that...，such... that...等。例如：

Something in chocolate could be used to stop coughs and lead to more effective medicines， say UK researchers.

Their study found that theobromine （可可堿）， found in cocoa， was nearly a third more effective in stopping coughs than codeine， which was considered the best cough medicine at present.

The researchers who published their results online said the discovery could lead to more effective cough treatment. “While coughing is not necessarily harmful， it can have a major effect on the quality of life， and this discovery could be a huge step forward in treating this problem，” said Professor Peter Barnes.

Ten healthy volunteers were given theobromine， codeine or placebo， a pill that contains no medicine， during the experiment. Neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew who received which pill. The researchers then measured levels of capsaicin （辣椒素）， which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign of how well the medicine are stopping coughs.

The team found that， when the volunteers were given theobromine， the capsaicin need to produce a cough was around a third higher than in the placebo group. When they were given codeine they need only slightly higher levers of capsaicin to cause a cough compared with the placebo.

The researchers said that theobromine worked by keeping down a nerve activity， which caused coughing. They also found that unlike some standard cough treatments， theobromine caused no side effects such as sleepiness.

5. What can we learn about theobromine？

A. Its harmful to peoples health.

B. Its the best headache medicine.

C. It may cause people to feel tired.

D. It can be a more effective cure for coughs.

6. What was used in the experiment to cause coughing？

A. Theobromine. B. Codeine.

C. Capsaicin. D. Placebo.

7. What can we learn about the volunteers in the experiment？

A. They were divided into three groups

B. They were patients with bad coughs

C. They received standard treatments

D. They suffered little side effects

8. What is the best title for the text？

A

It turns out that happy cows produce better milk. The finding is not new. The California Milk Advisory Board has been saying it for years. But now a team of researchers is helping farmers have happier herds.

The researchers are visiting milk farms and showing farmers how to make their cows live better. Their advice and information is available around the world on their website.

One important area for discussion is how to prevent leg pain， a condition also called lameness. Lameness impacts everything a cow gets to do in her day. It impacts the way she rests， the way she milks， the way she eats， her ability to reproduce and finally her ability to stay on the farm. A bed of sand can provide a good place for cows to lie down during the day. The deep， soft bedding of sand creates an environment where cows can rest half the day， and that is extremely important to cows.

The researchers advise farmers to provide bigger stalls， the areas where cows are kept in a barn. They also say farmers should use more fans to keep the animals cool， and feed all their cows at the same time.

And researchers say it is a good idea to keep cows with their usual group of friends when it comes time for them to give birth. This helps reduce the stress for the cows.

Mitch Breunig owns the Mystic Valley Dairy in the US state of Wisconsin. He says he used the advice to improve the conditions for his 400 cows. Since he made the changes， Breunig says the dairys production has increased. His cows have gone from producing 49 liters of milk a day to almost 57 liters.

Also， his cows have fewer injuries and live about a year longer than before. That is good for the animals—and for people， too.

1. Why are the researchers visiting milk farms？

A. To help improve cows living conditions.

B. To gather information from cow farmers.

C. To create new cow farms for better milk.

D. To help cow farmers prevent cow diseases.

2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？

A. The harm of leg pain and how to solve it.

B. How to make a bed of sand for cows.

C. The proper atmosphere cows need.

D. What cows need most in their life.

3. What should farmers do when cows give birth？

A. Feed them at the same time.

B. Leave them near their friends.

C. Provide bigger room for them.

D. Use more fans to keep them cool.

4. What can be the best title for the text？

A. Advice on How to Keep Cows More Comfortable

B. Cow Farmers Welcome Researchers to Their Farms

C. Ways to Make Cows Produce More Milk

D. Better Conditions Make for Happier Cows

One thing that really gets up my nose is breathing other peoples cigarette smoke against my will. Its about time that smoking in public places was stamped out once and for all.

There is nothing worse than coming home from a bar or club after an evening out and finding that your clothes smell disgusting， because they have been saturated （浸透著） with cigarette smoke.

Cigarette smoke. Im not the only one who is born with this and Im not some born non-smoker. I just wish that I had a choice whether or not I came home smelling like a dirty ashtray （烟灰缸）.

Another thing that I really hate is walking down the street behind someone smoking a cigarette. Every time they breathe， out comes that cloud of stale smoke and you walk straight into it and aside from crossing over the other side of the street. There is very little you can do about it. It is not a pleasant experience and it is one I could live quite happily without.

I know there are a lot of people in this country that smoke. Ill be willing to bet that someone who are reading this article are fed up with people who dont smoke. They are always harping on （唠叨） about their “bad habit” and telling them what to do. The simple fact is that smokers are affecting the health of non-smokers as well as their own.

People die each year just because they have breathed other peoples smoke and that is something we really should be taking seriously. In my opinion a completely ban on smoking in public places is the only way forward.

5. The underlined phrase “gets up my nose” in the first paragraph probably means “___”.

A. cheers me up

B. makes me angry

C. smells something out

D. turns my nose towards something

6. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2？

A. He has an ashtray in his home.

B. He thinks the smell of cigarettes disgusting.

C. He often smokes a lot of cigarettes in a bar.

D. He is unwilling to come home from a bar late at night.

7. What is the author strongly against？

A. Taking in second-hand smoke.

B. Crossing over the other side of the street.

C. Walking across the street with nothing to do.

D. Smoking behind someone while walking down the streets.

8. What is the main idea of the text？

A. Smoking is bad to both smokers and non-smokers.

B. Smoking should be banned in public places.

C. Smoking should be punished heavily.

D. Smoking is a bad habit.

“Can I get a light？” This question is among the most common between smokers. What if this question was to come from an unusual source？ The National Health Promotion Foundation uploaded an anti-smoking advertisement onto YouTube. The anti-smoking ad has quickly been known as the “most powerful anti-smoking ad”.

The anti-smoking video， called the “Smoking Kid” features children walking up to adult smokers asking for a light. The children in the ad are actors but the adults smoking are unsuspecting participants in the project.

The video begins with the statement “adults know that smoking is harmful， but dont remind themselves of this fact.” Once a “smoking kid” approaches the adults， every adult asked is shocked that a child with a cigarette in hand is asking for a light. The first adult starts by saying， “Im not giving it to you，” and the video goes on to state “every adult filmed said no and reminded the children that smoking is bad.”

Before going away， the kid hands each adult a booklet after being turned down for a light. The booklet says， “You worry about me， but why not about yourself？” Each adult looks around for the child as their faces are filled with confusion and discomfort.

The video shows that a few of the smokers quickly threw away their cigarettes or put their cigarettes away， showing that this experiment was effective at that moment.

The most influential element in the ad isnt the use of children or the responses from the smoking adults. It comes down to something much simpler than that. Why is it that we worry about other people， forgetting to worry about ourselves？

1. According to the text， the anti-smoking ad is ___ .

A. discomfortable B. encouraging

C. influential D. shocking

2. What does the underlined word “unsuspecting” in Paragraph 2 mean？

A. Unwilling. B. Uninformed.

C. Unfortunate. D. Unacceptable.

3. What are the adults reactions to the children asking for a light？

A. They look around for their parents.

B. They refuse and educate them.

C. They pay no attention to their request.

D. They quickly throw their cigarettes away.

4. What can be the best title for the text？

A. Give up Smoking， for Your Own Sake

B. Keep away from Smoking， Adults

C. Reject a Child Asking for a Light

D. Tell Your Children not to Smoke

Healthy Habits for Living Longer

Many of us are set in our daily habits. We eat the same meal， wear the same clothes， take the same route to work and work the same old job. But what we sometimes fail to recognize is the huge influence that our daily habits can have on our health. It is very important for us to keep our daily habits healthy.        1

Take some exercise every day. Daily exercise does improve our health. In fact， studies show that daily exercise can add three years to our life. Opportunity for exercise is everywhere—just be creative. Whenever we can， walk to work.

2        Its really that simple.

Eat a healthy breakfast. Researchers have found that those who eat an early morning meal are less likely to be too fat and get diseases compared with those who dont.        3        All in all， eating breakfast is a great and healthy way to start our day.

Have enough sleep.        4        Failing to get at least seven hours of sleep appears to increase the risk of major illnesses including cancer， heart disease， diabetes and many more.

Get chances to communicate.        5        Any social communication can positively affect our health because we can have more time and chances to communicate with others. All of these can add years to our lives.

Great changes have been taken place in my village. Ten years ago， the small and low houses， which lie on the north of a lake， produced much waste. As the result， the lake was serious polluted. To the west was a sandy field， that was the source of dust. Better still， a brickyard on the southwest side of the lake used up a great deal good soil.
