We shall travel by night as well as by day.

as well与as well as的区别在于侧重点不同，用as well的句子侧重点在句子的后半部分，而as well as的句子侧重点在句子的前半部分，这从例1和例4中即可看出。 but it will make you more aware of how you spend your time.

该句结构比较复杂，其中make you more aware of…为复合宾语结构，其中的how you spend yourtime又是介词of的宾语从句。 1．make后面能接多种形式作宾语补足语

如：They made Mr. Yang President of the university.（名词作宾补） 他们推选杨先生当任大学校长。

例3中的宾语补足语是省略to的动词不定式。make, see, hear, watch, feel, have等后面接动词 不定式作宾语补足语时，在主动语态中应将to省略，在被动语态中，to不能省略。 如：They were made to work 14 hours a day .

be aware of： realize意识到，后接of短语或that从句 如：Are you aware of your mistakes?

Everyone should be aware of the dangers of cigarette smoking. I stayed indoors too long to be aware (of) how cold it was outside. 当be aware of后接that引导的宾语从句时，of可省略，如上例4。 enable： make…able，其结构往往是 enable somebody to do something 如：Airplanes enable people to travel great distance rapidly. 飞机可以使人们进行长途旅行。

如: The house isn’t big enough for us , and furthermore, it’s far from town. Fresh vegetables are nutritious ; furthermore, they are cheaper than frozen ones. 新鲜蔬菜有营养，而且比冷冻的便宜。 so that 引导状语从句，可以表示目的或结果。

表示目的时，从句中往往有情态动词与之搭配；另外，表示目的时 that 可以省略。 表示结果也使用so....that.... 句型。此时，so 经常可以省略。 I hired a boat so that we could go fishing .（目的） I will show you so you can see how it is done. （目的） He was so confused that he didn’t know what to say. （结果） 他感到很迷惑不知道该怎么说。

Question: Where do you usually study in the evening? In your bedroom? In the classroom or in the library? Why? 课文第四段中有两个稍为复杂的句子：

如：I didn’t mean to hurt you. 我并不是有意要伤害你。
