现在完成时（Ⅲ）

某些动词的现在完成时可表示从过去某一时间开始并一直持续到现在的动作或状态。

3. 现在完成时和一般过去时的区别

（1）侧重点不同

现在完成时侧重于过去发生的某一动作对现在的影响;而一般过去时侧重于某一动作发生在过去某个时间或某段时间。即现在完成时强调的是现在的情况，而一般过去时强调动作发生在过去。

I have seen the film.

我看过这部电影。（我了解这部电影的内容）

I saw the film three days ago.

三天前我看了这部电影。（只说明三天前看了这部电影，不涉及现在的情况）

（2）时间状语不同

现在完成时可以和already， yet， just， ever， never， before等副词连用，还可以和“for+时间段”“since+过去的时间点”“since+一段时间+ago”“since+一般过去时的句子”等时间状语连用;而一般过去时则常与three weeks ago， just now， yesterday， last night等表示过去时间的状语连用。

The children grow vegetables and take care of animals， but they are not playing “Farmville （开心农场）” online. Students at Gateway International School have started farming a small piece of land in the school. The students in the school are from different countries， such as Malaysia and the Philippines.

“To make the children self-reliant （独立自主） and develop friendship between children from different countries， we asked them to grow vegetables. They were excited about the idea，” said Grace Alwyn， the head teacher of the school. “They give part of the harvest （收成） to us and we cook it for them. We are planning to ask the parents to buy the vegetables planted by the children. This will also teach them the importance of money.”

The students are also encouraged to keep pets. They feed the animals in the morning and check on them through the day. Its a good way for them to learn to be responsible （有責任心）.

Pritesh， a student in Grade 8， said， “I understand how farmers work. As we grow the vegetables ourselves， we dont feel like wasting them. It is a very interesting hobby.”

A parent said happily， “Through farming， they are learning to love the environment. They will learn a lot from these activities.”

阅读选择填空

根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项。

Teenage Life—Better Now， or in the Past？

Does this situation sound familiar （熟悉）？

You are complaining （抱怨） to your parents about something. Maybe your computer isnt quick enough to play the latest games.  Then you hear...

“When I was your age， there werent any computers or video games. And I didnt get a bike until I was sixteen. And it was not a new one.  ”

So， is it really true that life is better for teenagers now？ It is certainly true that many teenagers have got more things nowadays.  So parents have got more money to spend on each child. And many things are cheaper than they were when our parents were children.

Forty years ago， no one could imagine a world with small computers and amazing smartphones. And now these things are necessary—we cant imagine living without them！ However， technology often means we spend more time at home. And often its just us， with our computer or television. Teenagers dont do enough exercise.  And， although young people still get on well with their friends， some people think teenagers today dont have so many social activities as they did in the past.

What do you think？ How is teenage life better these days？

A. And it was too big for me.

B. A typical family is smaller now.

C. Or your friends bikes are better than yours.

D. So they arent as healthy as they were in the past.

E. Technology is probably the greatest change in our life.
