Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury. The bird covered the distance in three minutes. Up to now, Mr.Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other. In this way, he has begun his own private 'telephone' service.
三、课文和语法
1. 现在完成时
1） 形式： has/have + done(动词的现在分词)
第三人称单数: he, it, she, 可数名词单数，不可数名词后面用has
2)用法：
①现在全部完成
②现在部分完成
现在的之前（立足现在）往之前看，不管有没有完成，都可以用现在完成时，汇报完成的状态。
He has left/gone.
3) 变否定 has/have+ not
He hasn’t left.
4) 变一般疑问句：has/have 提到句首
Has he left?
5)现在完成时和一般过去时的区别
①现在全部完成，可以换成一般过去时
He has left -> He left.
区别在于看待事物的角度，
现在完成时-立足现在
一般过去- 立足过去（现在不这样了），明确有发生在过去的时间。
②部分完成，不能换成一般过去时
6) 特殊句型
① This/It is the first time + 句子后面只能用现在完成时
This is the first time I have traveled by air.
②It is/has been a long time since+句子用一般过去时
It has been a long time since we parted.
③ It/This is + 最高级形容词+名词+从句，从句用现在完成时
He is the most interesting person I’ve ever seen.
2. He has just bought another garage.
has just bought 现在完成时
has/have just done 现在的之前，间隔的时间不长
has/have +already/ever/never + done
3. Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury, … so he has just bought twelve pigeons
现在完成时
介词from在这里表示距离相隔，作“距……”、“离……”讲，常与away连用
It is far (away) from here.
How far (away) … ？ 对距离提问
How far(away) is the bus stop?
4. Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury
from … to … 可接地点和时间
Yesterday, 表明立足的角度是过去，用一般过去时
carry v. 带着, 携带（其强调所携带的东西不会着地）
I carried my son. （背或抱着）
I carry the bag.
take v. 带着
I take my sister to the cinema.
5. Up to now, Mr. Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other.
up to now = up till now =so far
one… the other 一个… 另一个 后接单数
some … others … 一些… 另一些… 后接复数
a great many + 名词复数 这里是做形容词，它也可做代词短语
