一、Reading
Work is a very important part of life. People work in order to earn a living. A country can only make progress if its people work. It is, therefore, important for us to be hard working. When we work, there is one golden rule we should always remember:Something well begun is half done.
二、解析
■ Work is a very important part of life.
- 主：Work
- 系：is
- 状：very
- 定：a important part of
- 表：life.
■ People work in order to earn a living.
- 主：People
- 谓：work
- 目状：in order to earn a living.
- 强调：in order
- 虚词：to
- 谓：earn
- 宾：a living.
注：
不定式用作目的状语时，常常翻译成“为了”，有时即使没有直接翻译出“为了”，但也表示了类似的意思，如“目的是”。不定式用作目的状语常放在句首和句末。一般说来，用于句首属于强调性用法，即强调动词的目的。有时为了特别强调目的状语，可以在不定式之前加上 in order 或 so as，即构成 in order to do sth. 和 so as to do sth. 结构。不定式前加 so as 既可以是目的状语，也可以是结构状语。目的状语可以在谓语之后，也可以在句首，结果状语只能在谓语后。目的状语在谓语后不可以用逗号，结果状语通常有逗号。
