【Text】

I have just received a letter from my old school, informing me that my former headmaster, Mr. Stuart Page, will be retiring next week.

Pupils of the school, old and new, will be sending him a present to mark the occasion.

All those who have contributed towards the gift will sign their names in a large album which will be sent to the headmaster's home.

We shall all remember Mr.Page for his patience and understanding and for the kindly encouragement he gave us when we went so unwillingly to school.

A great many former pupils will be attending a farewell dinner in his honour next Thursday.

It is a curious coincidence that the day before his retirement, Mr. Page will have been teaching for a total of forty years.

After he has retired, he will devote himself to gardening.

For him, this will be an entirely new hobby.

But this does not matter, for, as he has often remarked, one is never too old to learn.

参考译文：

我刚刚收到母校的一封信，通知我说以前的校长斯图亚特.佩奇先生下星期就退休了。为了纪念这个日子，学校的学生——无论老同学还是新同学——将送他一件礼物。所有凑钱买此礼品的人都将自己的名字签在一本大签名簿上，签名簿将被送到校长的家里。我们不会忘记佩奇先生对我们既有耐心又充满理解，也不会忘记在我们不愿去上学时他给予我们的亲切鼓励。很多老同学都准备参加下星期四为他举行的告别宴会。佩奇先生退休的前一天正好是他执教满40年的日子，这真是奇妙的巧合。他退休后，将致力于园艺。对于他来说，这将是一种全新的爱好。但这没有关系，因为正如他常说的那样，人要活到老学到老。

【课文讲解】

1、I have just received a letter from my old school, informing me that my former headmaster, Mr. Stuart Page, will be retiring next week.

informing me … week 现在分词短语用来修饰letter

that .. week 宾语从句（作informing的宾语）

will be retiring 将来进行时，表示按计划在未来肯定会发生的动作

2、Pupils of the school, old and new, will be sending him a present to mark the occasion.

student 通指所有的学生；pupil 指中小学的学生

old and new 作pupils的同位语

will be sending将来进行时，表示按计划在未来肯定会发生的动作

【句型】

all those who … will do sth.   所有那些…的人会…

【例】

All those who will take part in the sports meeting will sign their names.

which will be sent to the headmaster's home 定语从句，修饰album

4、We shall all remember Mr. Page for his patience and understanding and for the kindly encouragement he gave us when we went so unwillingly to school.

7、After he has retired, he will devote himself to gardening.

9、But this does not matter, for, as he has often remarked, one is never too old to learn.

作为一个定语从句修饰one is never too old to learn

as +从句     正如…

【句型】

【结构】

too…to…  太…以至于不能….

课文学习熟背文章（背诵顺序：听-读-背）每一句话都包含着对应的语法点，学生需在书上记下笔记

【Special Difficulties】

Too and Enough

too      adv. 太，过分

enough    adv. 足够，十分

【区分】

1、too和enough都可作程度副词，但too通常位于它所修饰的形容词/分词之前（too hot），enough则位于它所修饰的词之后（hot enough）

2、在含有不定式的句型里，too经常具有否定的含义，enough则表示达到必要的程度

【例】

He is too heavy for me to lift.

The pear is ripe enough for me to eat.
