Sometimes Ithink this house will be knocked down by apassing plane. I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I amdetermined to stay here.

精讲笔记：
7.Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane.
有时候我觉得我的房子会被一架飞过的飞机撞倒，
语言点1 此句的核心语法点是将来时的被动语态，结构为：will be done (+by...)
语言点2 比较学习home和house:
home家(具有感情色彩)：East or west, home is the best.金窝银窝不如自己的狗窝。. house房子(仅仅是居住的地方)
语言点3 knock down =knock over 撞倒
knock out撞昏，knock off下班。
8.I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stayhere.
他们提出要给我一笔可现的补偿让我搬走，但我决定留下来。
语言点 (1) offer作动词意为“提供;给予;贡献;愿意;出价”：
offer a few ideas提出几点意见;offer to help sb.表示愿意帮助某人
(2) offer作名词指在求职、留学申请等情况的录取通知
He is expecting tiie ofifer of Harvard University day and night 他日夜都在期待着哈佛大学的录取通知书。
9.Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right.
大家都说我肯定是疯了，也许他们说的是对的。
语言点1 再次强调，everybody作主语时必须视为单数形式，对应的谓语动词用单数。
语言点2 probably (adv.很可能地)修饰right (adj.对的)，相当于must be right。
