LanguagePoints1.Everyoneisbornwiththeabilitytolearn.Butwhetherornotyoucandothiswelldependsonyourlearninghabits.beborn意为“天生，出生”为被动语态，be动词通常用was或were，born为bear的过去式。►Iwasborninasmallvillage.我出生在一个小山村。►Hewasborntosucceedinlife.他生来注定会成功。
ability在此处为不可数名词，意为“能力”常构成短语havetheabilitytodosth.(有能力做某事)，而不用“havetheabilityofdoingsth”结构。►Manhastheabilitytospeak.人类有说话的能力。whetherornot意为“是否”,whether引导主语从句，不能与if替换。►whethershewillcomeornotisstillaproblem.她是否会来还是个问题。
Dependon意为“视……而定，取决于；依靠；依赖”。后接名词，代词或动名词。既不能用于进行时态也不能用于被动语态。►Wedependonthenewspaperfordailynews.我们得靠报纸得知每天的消息。►Youmaydependonhiscoming.你可以相信他会来。
2.Studiesshowthatifyouareinterestedinsomething,yourbrainismoreactiveanditisalsoeasierforyoutopayattentiontoitforalongtime.activeadj,“活跃的，积极的”，可作表语或定语。常用短语：takeanactivepartin，意为“积极参加”►Althoughheisover80,heisstillveryactive.他虽然年过八十，但是仍很活跃。►Wealltakeanactivepartinthesportsmeeting.我们都积极参加运动会。
payattentionto意为“注意，关注”，其中to为介词，其后可接名词、代词或动词-ing形式。►You’dbetterpayattentiontothiswordintheEnglishexamlasttime.你最好注意一下上次英语考试中的这个单词。
3.Goodlearnersoftenconnectwhattheyneedtolearnwithsomethingtheyareinterestedin.connect…with…意为“把……和……联系起来”其中connect意为“（使）连接；与……有联系”，其名词形式为connection，意为“连接；关系”。►Pleasedon’tconnectthispersonwiththatperson.请不要把这个人和那个人联系在一起。
need在此处为及物动词，意为“需要”其后跟名词、代词、动词不定式或动词-ing形式。need作实义动词时，既可用于肯定句，也可用于否定句和疑问句，构成否定和疑问句时要借助助动词do/does/did。►Ineedalotofmoneynow.我现在很需要钱。►Youneedtotakegoodcareofyourmother.你要好好照顾你妈妈。
