Therefore, had better has a feeling of threat, as in you had better be there. This isn’t the same as you should do it, which means you are expected to do it but without an applied threat if you don’t. One interesting rule is that no more than one model can be used with any verb. There are no exceptions to this rule. Therefore, it’s incorrect to say “he will must be there”. To avoid breaking this rule, there are other words that have the same meaning but are not models. The case of must, for example, we use have to, as in we will have to be there. Similarly, we cannot say he may can e. Instead, we say he may be able to e. One last thing to know about models. We use the same form regardless of what the subject is. If the subject is I, it, we or they, we use the same form will. We would never say “we wills be there”. But with nonmodel form, such as have to, we must change the form to match the subject. He has to be there and I have to be there. We shall overe all obstacles express determination to make it happen. We don’t know for sure but there is still a possibility that they can leave on Friday. Unit 22 dialogue 感情和分手What’s wrong? You look awful. My boyfriend and I had just had another fight. I think I’m going to break up with him. Hey, you’ve said that before. Calm down. Is that really what you want to do?Yeah, I think so. I don’t see any future in our relationship. Is that anyone else you’re interested in?No, but there are some guys on the internet who have sent my messages. What? You’ve been online.Sure, just for fun. It’s nice to know that I can meet people if I want to. Does your boyfriend know about it?No, if he knew, he would be furious. He can be very jealous and he has a violent temper. Anyway, what was your fight about?It’s just the way he talked to me. He never shows any interested in what I’m doing or in what I’m feeling. if I had a bad headache or anything he says nothing. So who started the fight?He came over and wanted to kiss me and I turned away. I told him I didn’t feel anything for him right then. So then he got angry and we both blew up. Now we are not talking to each other.Oh is that all? That kind of thing is normal. Maybe you’re overreacting. No, it’s just that I’m beginning to realize that I don’t feel anything for him anymore. Our relationship is getting cold. We don’t feel appreciated. Well then maybe you should break up for a while and start seeing other men. But be careful. If I were you, I wouldn’t start seeing anyone else until I break up first. What do you think so?If he sees that you’re serious about breaking up, he may change. Maybe, but I doubt it. It could be that he feels the same way about you. Maybe he has lost interest. So it’s best to find out. You need to have a serious conversation with him. You’re right. Maybe it’s time to really find out. Unit 22 reading 愛情和旅游勝地馬丘比丘The love labHow we municate with our romantic partners can have a strong impact on the quality of our relationships. Psychologists John and Julie Gottman run the “Love Lab”, where thousands of couples have been studied over the last 30 years. The purpose of their research is to determine the factors that lead to happy and unhappy relationships. From their data, they have concluded that contempt(輕蔑), criticism, defensiveness, and stonewalling are the most significant factors that can hurt a marriage or relationship. Among these, contempt is the biggest predictor of divorce. People who feel contempt for their partner often convey disapproval without addressing the issue. They sometimes label their partner with insulting words such as “l(fā)azy”, “stupid” or “emotional” which is particularly damaging.Many couples try to address issues by criticizing their partner’s flaws or mistakes directly. Being too direct with criticism can hurt your partner’s selfesteem. Some people may react to criticism by stonewalling, where they refuse to acknowledge and respond to their partner for a period of time. Unfortunately, fighting back or ignoring your partner can make it difficult to determine the root of your problems. If your partner feels that they aren’t valued, it may lead to increased dissatisfaction with the relationship. The Gottmans maintain that being aware of these factors in munication is the first step to improving a relationship. It is important to acknowledge that all relationships have issues. The goal shouldn’t be to avoid these issues, but to learn to resolve them. In particular, we should avoid munication in ways that hurt our partner’s selfesteem. It is better to discuss problems in a way that is less confrontational and can better help your partner sympathize with your perspective. For example, rather than saying why are you ignoring me. It’s rude! One could say I feel hurt and undervalued when I don’t get a response from you. By being conscious of how we municate with our partner, we can begin to build a healthier relationship. Their research has given us insight into how to make our relationships better. The lost city of the IncasMachu Picchu is one of the world’s most impressive historical sites. It was built around 1450 by the Incas, who ruled most of south America at that time. They called themselves children of the Sun, the powerful god they worshipped as the source of light and life. Located in the Andes Mountains of Peru, at 8000 feet above sea level, the “City of the Incas” was mysteriously abandoned just 100 years after its construction. This was when the Spanish were beginning their conquest of the Inca Empire, in the 1530’s. there is no evidence that the Spanish invaders ever attacked or even reached the mountaintop city, so many believe that the city’s inhabitants deserted(拋棄) the site because of a small pow epidemic.The city was almost forgotten un
