本课中的食物可分为三类：a．Vegetable(蔬菜)：tomatoes，broccoli，carrot。b．Fruits(水果)：bananas，oranges，apples，strawberries。c．The others(其他)：hamburgers，French fries，ice cream，salad，eggs，chicken同学们记忆时可按类别总结记忆，这样才能记得更快更准呀！还要注意：不可数名词没有复数形式；可数名词复数形式可用来表示一类事物。同时还要注意一些名词的复数形式：(1)一般名词在词尾加-s。如：orange-oranges。(2)以-o，-s，-sh，-ch及-x结尾的名词，在词尾加-es构成复数形式。如：tomato-tomatoes。(3)有些以o结尾，是外来语或缩写名词，则加-s。如；photo-photes。(4)以辅音字母加-y结尾的名词，则把-y去掉，加-ies。如：family-families，strawberry-strawberries。

归类：试试看把小词典中提到的食物名称归类。

(A)不可数名词：

(B)可数名词复数：

小博士：细心的同学们肯定发现了有些名词有单数(singular)和复数(plural)两种形式，而有些名词只有单数形式，这是怎么回事呢？让我来告诉你吧。英语中，名词按其所表示的事物的性质，可分为可数名词(countable noun)和不可数名词(uncountable noun)，可数名词有复数形式，不可数名词一般没有复数形式。名词单数变复数的变化规则见下表。

比一比，看谁写的单词多！

1　　直接加-s的单词有：________________________________.

2　　加-es的单词有：___________________________________.

3　　变y为i再加-es的单词有：__________________________.

4　　不规则变化的单词有：_______________________________.

你知道你亲爱的爸爸妈妈的生日吗？那么你每年可以吃三次生日蛋糕；你知道你爷爷奶奶的生日吗？那么你每年可以吃五次生日蛋糕；你知道你的好朋友们的生日吗？那么……如果你还不知道，还等什么？赶快去打听一下吧！

My father's birthday is ________.

My mother's birthday is ________.

My grandfather's birthday is ________.

My grandmother's birthday is ________.

My birthday is ________.

My best friend's birthday is ________.

小词典：大家一定记得以前我们学了one，two，three，four这样一组表示数目的数词，这类词叫基数词。这一单元我们学到了表示顺序的数词，如：first，second，third等，这类词叫序数词。每个基数词有一个对应的序数词。除了一些特殊的变化外，一般是在相应的基数词后加-th构成序数词。序数词前一般要加定冠词，如the first name(第一个名字，名)，the second day(第二天)，CharlesV 查理五世读作Charles the fifth.

What do you do if you're in trouble on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.
Body signals (信号)
Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training, When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means, "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend (弯曲) your knees. If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.
Smoke signals
The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it’s a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn’t hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a tire unless you're sure that it can’t spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.
Ground-to-air signals
It's a good idea lo build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols (标记). If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:
F "I need food and water"
II "I need medicine."
I "I am badly hurt."
X "I am unable lo move from here."
Pilots' replies
If the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means: "message received and understood" (At night, the pilot flashes the plane's green lights.) If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received hut not understood" (At night, the: pilot flashes the plants red lights.)
However, there is no signal which means "message not received. Why not'?
【小题1】How many signals can we use to draw the attention of the passing plane if you're in trouble?
