三 New Word and expressions & 生词和短语
famous adj. 著名的；actress n.女演员；at least至少；actor n.男演员；read (read, read) v.通过阅读得知；
四 Notes on the text & 课文注释
[1]I thought so.我也这样想。
so 是代词，意为“这样”、“如此”。 I think so的否定式为I don think so（我不这样认为）。类似用so的短句如：
eg: I hope so. 我希望如此。
eg: I expect so. 我期待如此。
eg: I told you so. 我这么告诉过你的。
[2]have another look,再（仔细）看一眼。
[3]look old,看上去老。这里look是系动词，后跟表语。
[4]at least,至少。
[5]Im sure she is.我肯定她有40岁了。 其后省略了 at least forty。
[6]not more than twenty-nine myself,我自己还没29岁。
其中not more than是“不超过”、“不到”的意思。这里反身代词myself是I的同位语，用来加强语气。
eg: She did it herself. 这事是她自己做的。
[7] her fourth or fifth. 后面省略了husband。
五 Grammar in use & 语法
表示猜测和推断的情态助动词must和can (1)
[1]表示最有力的推论的最常用的形式是must和can 。这时，它们一般与系动词be连用。肯定的推断用 must be来表示，否定的推断用 can be来表示，而不用mustn 。请看例句：
eg: He can be a doctor. He must be a dentist.
他不会是个医生。他一定是位牙医。
eg: She can be Danish. She must be Norwegian.
她不会是丹麦人。她一定是挪威人。
eg: He can be shaving. He must be having a bath.
他不可能在剃胡子。他一定是在洗澡。
eg: It can be cheap. It must be expensive.
它不会便宜。一定价格昂贵。
eg: He can be ill. He must be tired.
他不可能生病了。他肯定是累了。
