IN SEARCH OF THE AMBER ROOM

     Frederick William I, the King of Prussia, could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history.【1.插入语；2.that引导的宾从；3.such (a/an)与so的区别】

This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it.【1.which引导的非限制性定从；2.被动语态；3.because引导原因状从】

The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey. 【which定从】

The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days.

It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels, which took the country's best artists about ten years to make.【1.过去分词作后置定语，有被动含义；2.with介短作后置定；3.which非限制性定从，指代前面的整句话；4.take花费(take sb about+时间+to do花费某人大约多长时间去...)】

     In fact, the room was not made to be a gift.

It was designed for the palace of Frederick I.

However, the next King of Prussia, Frederick William I, to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it.【介词+引导词引导定从；belong to属于】

In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great.

In return, the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers.【in return作为回报；a troop of一群；send送(send sb sth送给某人某物)】

So the Amber Room became part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg.【疑问：为什么part之间不加冠词a？】

About four meters long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors.【as作为；for为了】

     Later, Catherine II had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers.【1.疑问：不知道moved是应该作为后置定语使用，还是应该看出过去完成时had done；2.where引导定从；3.spend花费（几种花费的表达）】

She told her artists to add more details to it.【第一个to是不定式，第二个to是介词】

In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted.【省略引导词that的定从】

Almost six hundred candles lit the room, and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold.【light-lit-lit点亮；shine-shone-shone发光，反光】

Sadly, although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world, it is now missing.【consider v.考虑，认为；wonder v.想知道 n.奇迹，能人 adj.极好的，神奇的】

     In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg.

This was a time when the two countries were at war.

Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace, the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room.【before时间状从】

However, some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself.

In less than two days 100,000 pieces (amber) were put inside twenty-seven wooden boxes.【in less than two days在至少两天内】

There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea.【there be句型的高级应用；that引导宾从；which引导非限制性定从】

After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery.【what引导的主从】

     Recently, the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace.

By studying old photos of the former Amber Room, they have made the new one look like the old one.【by通过（其它用法）；疑问：look like...这句话是否是省略了引导词的定从？】

In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city.【for对...而言；when引导时间状从】

A FACT OR AN OPINION?

What is a fact? Is it something that people believe?【that引导定从】

No. A fact is anything that can be proved.【that引导定从；形容词修饰不定代词时至于其之后】

For example, it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world. This is a fact.【情态动词的被动；that引导主从，it为形主】

Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved.【what引导表从；现在完成时的被动】

So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial.【try + -al = trial试验的，审讯的】

For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs”.【if引导条件状从】

It may be true, but it is difficult to prove.【to do为真主，it为形主】

Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right.

【that引导宾从】

In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewitnesses to believe and which not to believe.

【which引导宾从（引导词+to do）】

The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works.【what和where引导宾从（高考阅读中有类似的结构）】

He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions.【whether引导宾从；which引导定从；rather than而不是，宁可...也不愿...】

This kind of information is called evidence.

寻找琥珀

普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世从未想过他送个普鲁士人民伟大的礼物会有一点如此惊奇的历史。这个礼物是因为由几吨琥珀制成而命名的琥珀屋。这些被挑选的琥珀都有着像蜂蜜一样漂亮的黄棕色。这间屋的设计是当时最流行的奇特的风格。这同样是一件花了当时最好的艺术家大约十年用黄金和珠宝修饰制成的宝物。

事实上，这间屋不是制来当礼物的。这是为腓特烈一世的领土而设计的。然而，普鲁士下一任国王同样是琥珀屋的拥有者，腓特烈威廉一世决定不保留琥珀屋。在1716年他把琥珀屋送给了彼得大帝。作为报答，沙皇给了腓特烈一队他最好的士兵。因此琥珀屋成为了沙皇避寒圣地圣彼得堡的一部分。琥珀屋作为一个大概四米长的只为重要访客的小接待处。

后来，叶卡捷琳娜二世把琥珀屋在圣彼得堡之外的一个她避暑的地方。她让她的艺术家加了跟多的细节在里面。在1770年琥珀屋完全成了她想要的样子。接近600只蜡烛在屋内燃烧着，把镜子和图画都照得像金子一样。令人伤心的，虽然被誉为是世界奇迹之一的琥珀屋现在丢失了。

在1941年9月，纳粹军队在圣彼得堡附近。这正是两个国家在交战的时候。在纳粹去到避暑地方之前，俄国人民能够从琥珀屋里搬走一些家具和小的艺术品。然而，一些纳粹神秘的偷走了琥珀屋。至少两天内100000多片琥珀被放进27个木箱里。这些箱子无疑会被放进一艘去往当时德军驻扎的菠萝的海的哥尼斯堡的船上。之后，琥珀屋发生了神马仍然是个迷。

最近，俄国和德国人民在避暑的地方制造了一座新的琥珀屋。通过研究之前的琥珀屋的照片，他们制造了一座新的琥珀屋像旧的那座一样。在2003年它被圣彼得堡的人民用来庆祝这座城市的300岁生日。

一个事实还是一个观点

神马是事实？是一些人们相信的东西吗？不！事实是可以被证明的任何事。例如，可以证明中国人口比世界上任何其他国家的人口都要多。这是一个事实。

那么神马是一个观点？一个观点是人们相信那是真的但还没有被证明的。所以一个观点在一个审判中不是一个好的证据。例如，如果你说“猫是比狗好的宠物”这会是一个观点。这可能是真的，不过很难去证明。一些人可能不同意这个观点不过他们也不能去证明他们是对的。

在一场审批中，一个审判官一定要去决定相信哪个目击者哪个目击者不应该相信。这个审判官不会去考虑每个目击者的长相或人们在哪里居住或工作。他/她只关心目击者是否会提供真是的信息，信息一定是事实而不是观点。这类的信息被称为证据。
