Most young people are always on their phones, which may upset many people. However, a group called Girl Scouts (女童子軍) is receiving praise for setting up its first walkin clinic for elderly people, who have difficulty understanding how to unlock the secrets of their smart phones. Some do not know how to text others while some are still ambitious about the network industry.
The clinic served as a special place for the aged in an orderly fashion.Each teen spent at least an hour of one-on-one time with the old people.Based on their technological knowledge,each girl scout was assigned to teach different aspects of smart phones.
Some of the aged actually wanted to take part in e-commerce and needed help to set up a payment account on their smart phones,while others simply had trouble when learning how to send messages to their family members.“I was teaching this older woman how to text,and the first thing she did was send a message to her daughter,”one of the scouts said.“How sweet it was!It just made me feel really,really happy.”The older woman was very excited and thanked her again and again.
In addition to arranging group lessons for all of the seniors to review together at the end of the clinic, the youngsters even printed out brochures and guides for the seniors to take home in case confused seniors would encounter problems with their smart phones in the future. The brochures and guides were well-designed and well-written, which can be read with ease.The seniors found them quite convenient and helpful.
The girls earned their“Silver Award”for their job. After experiencing the success of their project,the girls hoped to organize more clinics in the near future.Besides,they would advocate that more young people join them and work as volunteers for more oldsters who are in need.“Those girls were just great,”said Nancy, a great-grandmother who once visited the clinic.“They were ready for us and had a very mature attitude to answering our questions,and they deserved the praise.”

1.which引導的非限制性定語從句
Most young people are always on their phones,which may upset many people.很多年輕人經(jīng)常沉迷于他們的手機,這讓很多人感到困擾。
【點石成金】本句中,which 引導非限制性定語從句,指代前面的Most young people are always on their phones,并在從句中充當主語。
【運用遷移】湯姆會說四門語言,這讓我們很吃驚。

2.who引導的非限制性定語從句
However, a group called Girl Scouts is receiving praise for setting up its first walk-in clinic for elderly people,who have difficulty understanding how to unlock the secrets of their smart phones.但是,一個被叫作“女童子軍”的組織因創(chuàng)立第一家不需要預約的診所,指導老年人使用智能手機而獲得贊譽,這些老年人不知道如何解開智能手機的秘密。
【點石成金】本句中,who引導非限制性定語從句,先行詞為elderly people,在從句中充當主語,從句意為“不知道如何解開智能手機秘密的老年人”,即“不會正確使用智能手機的老年人”。
【運用遷移】出生在河北的李大釗,是中國共產(chǎn)黨的主要創(chuàng)始人之一。
3.after+V-ing作狀語
After experiencing the success of their project, the girls hope to organize more clinics in the near future.經(jīng)歷了這個項目的成功后,那些女孩希望在不遠的將來組織更多診所。
【點石成金】After experiencing the success of their project 為after+V-ing作狀語,因主句的主語為the girls,所以使用V-ing形式表示主動語態(tài)。
