Unit 6《An old man tried to move the mountains.》（Section B 1a-2e）
Review
Tell something about the Monkey King.
The Monkey King is the main character in Journey to the West.
His name's Sun Wukong. He is not just any normal monkey. In fact, he sometimes does not even look like a monkey!
Yeah. This is because he can make 72 changes to his shape and size, turning himself into different animals and objects.
But unless he can hide his tail, he can't turn himself into a person.
To fight bad people, he uses a magic stick. Sometimes he can make the stick so small that he can keep it in his ear. At other times, he is able to make it big and long.

Hansel: Don't worry! I have a plan to save us.
Gretel: How can you save us?
Hansel: Be quiet! I'm going outside to get something in the moonlight. Now, go to sleep.
SCENE TWO: B. The children wake up.
Wife: Get up, lazy children!
Husband: Yes, dears. You must come with me to the forest to get wood.
Wife: Here's some bread. Don't eat it until you get to the forest.
SCENE THREE: D. Gretel learns about Hansel's plan.

SCENE FOUR: E. The children surprise the parents.
Wife: You bad children! What a long time you slept in the forest!

Hansel: What, again? I want to go out to look at the moon.
Wife: No. You can't go out now.
SCENE FIVE: F. Hansel has to change his plan.
Gretel: What can we do? You have no more stones.

SCENE SIX: C. The children cannot find the pieces of bread.

Gretel: Hansel, we're really lost!
Hansel: Listen! That bird's song is so beautiful that we should follow it.

Language Points
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。
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.
2. We thought you were never coming back.
我以为你们再也回不来了。
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 though he would come, but he didn't.
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。
此句中made of bread, cake and sugar作定语，修饰名词house，形容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
