Well, I still don’t agree with you. I think we should try to find other ways to solve a problem.
But what could Yu Gong do instead of moving the mountains?
Well, there are many other ways. For example, he could build a road. That’s better and faster than moving a mountain!

Practice
Fill in the blanks with unless, as soon as or so… that.
点拨：分析句子结构可知，后一句“继姐让她做所有的家务”是主句，上一句“她的父亲死后”应是句子的时间状语。因此，应用as soon as来引导时间状语从句。 as soon as 意为“一……就”，时态遵循“主将从现；主过从过”的原则。
1. ___________ her father died, the
stepsisters made her do all the chores.
As soon as

2. She was ____ busy _____ she had no time

so that
3. The mice knew that _______ they helped
her make a dress, she would not be able
to go to the party.
点拨：句意“公主知道，除非他们帮她做一件礼服，否则她就不能去参加那个晚会。”可知前一句是后一句的条件。
unless意为“除非；如果不”，引导条件状语从句，相当于if条件状语从句的否定句；时态遵循“主将从现；主过从过”的原则。
unless
点拨：句意“王子一看到她，就爱上了她”，可知上一句应为一时间状语从句，故应用as soon as来引导， 表示“一……就”之意。
4. ___________ the prince saw her, he fell in
love with her.
As soon as
点拨：句意“王子知道，除非女孩的脚与鞋子合适，否则就不是他要的女孩”，可知上下句之间存在条件关系, 故应用unless一词。
5. The prince knew ______ the girl’s foot
could fit the shoe, it was not the right girl.
unless
6. The new couple were _____ happy ______
they couldn’t stop smiling when they got
married.

1. Why does the wife tell her husband to
leave the children in the moonlight?
Read the play again and answer the questions.
The weather was so dry that no food would grow. If they didn’t leave the children to die in the forest the whole family would die.
2d
2. What does Hansel go out to get?
He gets some white stones.
3. Why does he do it in the moonlight?
Because they’ll be able to see the stones in the bright moon.
4. How do Hansel and Gretel find their way home?
Because Hansel is dropping white stones along the way. When the moon is shining bright, they’ll be able to see the stones and find their way home.
5. Why do Hansel and Gretel get lost the
second time?
Because they can’t see any bread on the ground. Maybe the birds ate them.
so… that…是一个常见的句式结构，表示“如此……以至于……”, 副词so之后接形容词或副词，that引导一个完整的句子，有时that还可省略。例如本单元的这个句子：That bird’s song is so beautiful that
we would follow it.
1. One year, the weather was so dry that no food would grow. 有一年，天气太干旱了，以至于粮食颗粒不长。
We thought…表示人们对过去的某种想法，判断等，可以译作“我们原想……; 我们本以为……”。如：
I thought he would come, but he didn’t.
2. We thought you were never coming back.
我以为你们再也回不来了。
此句中made of bread, cake and sugar作定语，修饰名词house, 形容词wonderful也是house的定语。在英语中，大部分形容词作定语修饰名词时应前置，短语或句子作定语修饰名词时则后置。如：the young people in the room 屋子里的年轻人
3. It’s leading us to that wonderful house
made of bread, cake and sugar.
它在把我们引向那座由面包，蛋糕和糖
果做成的美妙小屋。
4. The wife told her husband that unless
he left the children to die in the
forest, the whole family would die.
妻子告诉丈夫，如果他不把孩子们
扔到森林里让他们自生自灭，整个
家庭就会灭亡。
unless的意思是“如果不，若非，除非”，它引导的是一个条件状语从句，相当于if…not。因此，上面的句子改写为: …if he didn’t leave the children to die in the forest, the whole family would die.
as soon as 表示 “一……就……”，再如本单元的这个句子：As soon as you wake up, you must go to the forest with your father.你们一醒来就必须和爸爸去森林里。
5. As soon as the moon rises, we can follow
them instead.
月亮一升起来, 我们就可以顺着它们走
了。

Did you hear our stepmother planning to kill us?
Don’t worry! I have a plan to save us.

Be quiet! I’m going outside to get something in the moonlight. Now, go to sleep.
Get up, lazy children!
Yes, dears. You must come with me to the forest to get wood.
Here’s some bread. Don’t eat it until you get to the forest.
Hansel, what are you doing?
I’m dropping white stones along the way. Unless I do, we’ll be lost. Tonight, when the moon is shining bright, we’ll be able to see the stones.
You bad children! What a long time you slept in the forest!
We thought you were never coming back.
Now, go to bed. As soon as you wake up, you must go to the forest with your father.
What, again? I want to go out to look at the moon.
No, you can’t go out now.
What can we do? You have no more stones.
I’ll drop pieces of bread. As soon as the moon rises, we can follow them instead.
I can’t see any bread on the ground. Maybe it was the birds.
Never mind! Just keep walking. Unless we do, we won’t find our way out.
Hansel! We’re really lost!
Listen! That bird’s song is so beautiful that we should follow it.
Look! It’s leading us to that wonderful house made of bread, cake and candy.
Let’s eat part of the house.
( Then they hear an old woman's voice from inside the house.)
Voice: Who is that? Who is brave enough to eat my house?
