二、语法：
在第26课的语法中，我们讲到有些表示状态和感觉的动词通常用于一般现在时而不用于进行时，如：appear, appreciate, believe, feel, forget, hear, know, like, look, notice, remember, resemble, see, think, understand。除了这些动词之外，另外有些表示所属关系以及喜好、憎恶、需要等感情的动词通常也只用于一般现在时而不用于进行时。这些动词包括belong to, consist of, contain, desire, detest, dislike, hate, hope, love, matter, mean, mind, need, want, wish等。它们往往表示通常的状态而不是具体动作。
The car belongs to Dan.那辆车是丹的。（不可用进行时）
I need a new hat.我需要一顶新帽子。（表示状态）
三、词汇：
1．lose, loose与mi
（1）lose通常为及物动词，可以表示\"失去\"、\"丧失\"、\"遗失\"、\"丢失\"等含义：
Roy has lost his job again.罗伊又失业了。
Try not to lose your ticket.别丢了你的票。
A large sum of money has been lost.有一大笔钱丢失了。
She lost her parents when she was sixteen.她16岁时便失去了双亲。 （2）loose虽然词形与lose比较相似，意义与用法却有很大区别。它主要作形容词，表示\"松的\"、\"松动的\"、\"松开的\"：
The handle of this suitcase is very/ has come loose.这个手提箱的把手非常松／松了。 （3）mi通常作及物动词，可以表示\"错过\"、\"未能……\"、\"缺（课等）\"、\"惦念\"、\"想念\"等多种含义：
Hurry or you\'ll mi the train.动作快点，否则你要赶不上火车了。
I mied my English leon.我英语课缺课了。
The Turners left the district last year and we really mi them.特纳一家去年离开了这个地区，我们真的很想念他们。 2．expect与wait for （1）expect可以表示\"预计……可能发生（或来到）\"、\"等待\"、\"期盼\"等。它表示等待时往往侧重人的心理而不是具体在某个地方等：
I expect/ I\'m expecting to hear from you.我等着你的来信。
I\'m expecting the bus to arrive in the next ten minutes.我想10分钟之内公共汽车就会到。
（2）wait for主要指\"等待\"这个动作本身：
I\'m waiting for the next bus.我在等下一班公共汽车。
I\'ll wait for you outside the post office.我将在邮局外面等你。
