Last week at a dinner party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold. Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. I tried to make conversation. ?A new play is coming to “The Globe” soon,? I said. ?Will you be seeing it?? ?No,? she answered. ?Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year?? I asked. ?No,? she answered. ?Will you be staying in England?? I asked. “No,? she answered. In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.

Part 3 Grammar
在第16课的语法中，我们学习了第1类条件句，它谈论将有可能发生的事情，并且考虑其将来的真实结果。它的一般形式如下所示：
You'll miss the train if you don't hurry.你如果不抓紧时间会误了火车的。（主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时或其他形式的现在时）
第2类条件句的形式与第一类不同，if从句中用一般过去时，谈论想像的情况，主句用would +动词原形，推测想像的结果：
If it rained tomorrow, we'd stay at home. 如果明天下雨，我们将呆在家里。
尽管第2类条件句使用过去时，却并非指过去的时间，所以if之后的过去时用法常被称为“非真实的过去”。 第2类条件句有时可以代替第1类条件句来描述颇有可能发生的事情，但比第1类条件句较为“无把握”。 If you went by train, you would get there earlier.如果你坐火车去，你或许会早些到那儿。 If you go by train, you will get there earlier.如果你坐火车去，你就会到得早些。
不过第2类条件句经常用来描写完全不可能的事情：
If I had longer legs, I'd be able to run faster. 如果我的腿再长一点儿，我就能跑得更快了。
在第2类条件句中，were比was更为正式，与真实情况的差别也更大 If he were/was ready, I would go. 如果他准备好了，我就去。
if I were you这种说法经常用于提出建议：
If I were you, I'd accept their offer. 如果我是你，我就接受他们的建议。
Exercise 1 用正确的动词时态填空 :
1 He would enjoy this if he______(be) present. 2 She can do better if she______(try).
3 If you play with matches, you______(burn) your fingers. 4 If you broke this window, you______(have to) pay for it.
5 If you______(lose) your way, you would have to ask a policeman. 6 It you______(not apologize), he will never speak to you again. 7 If he______(be) clever, he would not have any difficulty. 8 What would you do if you______(win) a lot of money? 9 If I were you, I______(not be) so confident. 10 If you______(can) help me, I would be grateful.
