Language points
1. The most interesting museum I’ve been to is the American Computer Museum.
多音節詞和部分雙音節形容詞最高級加most構成，前面加the。如: the most beautiful girl
2. The old computers were much bigger.
much可修飾形容詞比較級，表示“ ……得多”。
如: much richer
a little, even, a bit也可以修飾形容詞比較級。
3. It’s unbelievable that technology has progressed in such a rapid way.
句中rapid意為“快速的；飛快的”，表達“發生或做得極快，用時短暫”，與fast,
quick同為近義詞，但更加正式。
安全氣囊急速膨起的力量可挽救成人的生命。
The force of the rapid inflation of airbags saves adult lives.
這種疾病的迅猛傳播給社會大眾帶來了恐慌。
The rapid spread of the disease has threatened the public.
經常與rapid搭配使用的名詞包括：change,
growth, increase, rise, decline, progress, development, improvement等。
注意： 在rapid一詞的使用中，最常見的是用于描述事物及環境變化的短時和快速。
4. I wonder how much more computers will be able to do in the future.
不知道將來電腦還能夠做些什么事情呢。
1)wonder 表示“ (對某事)感到疑惑；想要知道；想弄明白；琢磨”，后面常接由what, how, who 或者if/whether引導的賓語從句。
e.g. I wonder how they’re getting on.
我想知道他們現在過得怎樣。
I just wonder if they’ve arrived safely.
我就想知道他們是否安全抵達了。
2) 此句從句部分的原始結構是: How much more will computers be able to do in the future? 是對陳述句Computers will be able to do (much) more in the future.(電腦將來能夠做更多的事情。)的提問。由于充當了賓語從句，疑問結構改成了陳述結構。
how much more computers will be able to do in the future, 即: 將助動詞還原到陳述句的位置。
e.g. I don’t know when he will come.
我不知道他什么時候來。
I don’t know where he lives.
我不知道他住在哪里。
5. It also encourages governments and social groups to think about ways to…encourage sb. to do sth. 鼓勵某人做某事
e.g. My father encouraged me to take part in the sports meeting.
父親鼓勵我參加運動會。
6. The tea art performances show how to make a perfect cup of tea with beautiful tea sets.
a perfect cup of tea意為“一杯好茶；一杯完美的茶水”。在英語中，當表示“量”的結構遇有描述性修飾，大多數情況下，人們習慣于將形容詞置于表量名詞(unit word)之前。
例如：
an easy piece of homework
a good cup of coffee
7. Watching the tea preparation is just as enjoyable as drinking the tea itself.
看沏茶的過程和飲茶本身一樣令人愉快。
-able是一個典型的形容詞后綴，可加在動詞之后，表示“可……的；能夠……的”。此處enjoyable
(能使人快樂的；令人愉快的) 便是一例，如:
drinkable (可飲用的), washable(可洗的), readable
(可讀的), usable(可用的; 可使用的)等等。

Read 3a again and try to retell the three museums.
