  语篇导读
  马克·艾略特·扎克伯格(Mark Elliot Zuckerberg),美国社交网站Facebook的創始人,被人们冠以“第二个盖茨”的美誉。2014年2月10日,马克·扎克伯格及其华裔妻子普里西拉·陈登上美国《慈善纪事报》2013年年度慈善排行榜榜首。2018年2月28日,他在《2018胡润全球富豪榜》上以5000亿元的资产排名第四。但是,对于这样一个超级富豪,你能想象出他有多节俭吗?
  Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of the American social networking site Facebook(脸书), is known as “the second Gates”. On February 28, 2018,on the Hurun Global Rich List 2018 (2018胡润全球富豪榜) he ranked fourth with 500 billion yuan.
  However, everyone knows Zuckerberg is a big cheapskate. He wears jeans, Tshirts and hoodies all the time, doesnt he? He wore those clothes for a meeting with some Wall Street investors, and even when he met President Barack Obama. OK, he upgraded a little for his meeting with the Prez(“Prez” is the first teenage president of the United States of America in comics), keeping the jeans but changing the Tshirts for a shirt and tie.
  But what about his wedding?The ring he gave his wife, Priscilla Chan, had a diamond on each side: It was said to cost only $25,000. For someone like Zuckerberg(hes said to be worth at least $17 billion), Priscilla should have been given a bouldersized diamond. Dont forget he also served inexpensive Mexican food at the reception. And when he and Priscilla were honeymooning in Italy, they ate at McDonalds once, and didnt leave a tip when they dined at two more formal spots.
  Maybe Priscilla didnt want a big ring. Maybe they both liked Mexican food and McDonalds. And at one of the Roman restaurants where he and his wife had supper without tipping (and maybe both), the tip was already included in the bill. So there.
  However, the real fact was Zuckerberg gave away $100 million to start an educa
  tion foundation to help longtroubled schools in Newark, New Jersey. And Zuckerberg had no connection to the city.
  ◆典句赏析
  1.Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of the American social networking site Facebook(脸书), is known as “the second Gates”.马克·扎克伯格,美国社交网站Facebook (脸书) 的创始人,被称为“第二个盖茨”。
  the founder of the American social networking site Facebook是句子主语Mark Zuckerberg的同位语。句子的主要结构是Mark Zuckerberg is known as“the second Gates”; be known as是固定词组,意为“被称为……”。
  【即时尝试】北京,中国的首都,过去被称为北平(Peking)。
  2.Priscilla should have been given a bouldersized diamond.普里西拉本应该被给予一个巨大的钻石。
  should have done sth.结构表示“(过去)本应该做某事,但实际却未做”。此处Priscilla应该是被给予,所以要用被动语态。二者结合就是现在完成时的被动语态形式。故此处要用should have been given表示普里西拉本应该被给予,但由于扎克伯格的节俭,实际并未被给予。
  【即时尝试】在小学时,李华本应该努力学习的。
  3.However, the real fact was Zuckerberg gave away $100 million to start an edu
  cation foundation... 不过,实际上扎克伯格捐赠1亿美元创办了一个教育基金会……
  “the real fact was... ”是“主 系 表”结构,连系动词be后面接一个that引导的句子,充当表语,为表语从句。在此类句型中,that可以省略。
  【即时尝试】问题是我们无处可去。

之所以有人认为手工热正在兴起,很大程度上是因为DIY的兴起:家具、纸艺、仿真花、缝纫、编织、香皂、蜡烛、玻璃……时不时的,都会有一种DIY的潮流席卷着喜欢新奇的人们。此时的DIY,已经不是自给自足时代迫不得已的动手,而是有钱有闲有情调之后的追求。DIY在社会各领域渗透发展,成为继知识经济和服务经济之后的体验经济的重要组成部分。因为有了DIY,手工不再是中小学生开发智力的必修课,而变成成年人也乐于参
