Step 2. Language points
1.spend…(in/on) doing sth.
花费时间（金钱）做某事
（1） cost 表示“花费（多少钱）” “需要（多少钱）”，主语一般是表示所买东西的名词，不能是表示人的名词
sth. costs money/ cost one’s life
at the cost of 以…为代价
（2）spend money on 和 pay money for 都可用来表示花钱买东西
（3）take和spend在表示“花费（时间）”时所用的句型不同
take常用于:
It takes (sb.)+time+to do sth.
It是形式主语，不定式是真正的主语。
spend 常用于: spend time (in) doing sth./spend time on sth.
主语是人，注意介词in后面是v.-ing的形式，in可省去，on后面通常是名词
2. something后面的句子“he had noticed again and again”为定语从句，省去了“that”.
3. in a short time 立刻，很快 ahead of time 提前
at any time 随时 at one time 从前
at times 偶尔，有时 many a time 多次，屡次
in no time 立刻，马上 at a time 一次

7. the +比较级，
the +比较级…
(1)”(从句)the+adj./adv.的比较级…,(主句)the+adj./adv.的比较级…”这种句型表示前者和后者在程度上同样增加或同样减少，
要注意这一句型中的“the”并不是冠词，前面的“the”是关系副词，有“by how much”之意；后面的“the”是指示副词，有“by so much”之意，前面是状语从句，后面是主句，前后呼应，
表示“越…就越…””愈是…,则愈是…”
[注]此结构中的比较级可以是形容词，也可以是副词，主句如用一般将来时，前面的状语从句通常用一般现在时代替一般将来时 。
The sooner you begin your work, the sooner you will finish it.
你越早开始工作，就越早完成它。
The more he thought of it,the happier he felt.
这件事他越想越高兴。
(2)此外，该句型可省略的成分较多，不仅后面出现的与前面相同的成分可以省略，当主语、谓语等在一定的情景或场合中意思明了时，也可以省略不用, 这种情况在口语中尤其常见。
