Language points

1. It is hard to believe that he used to have difficulties in school. 

(l) It is hard to believe that …是一个含有宾

语从句的复合句。主句中it作形式主语，真 

正的主语是that引导的从句。

在这么短的一段时间内他们完成了如此多的工作, 这令人难以相信。

2. When he was a little boy, he seldom caused any problems, and his family spent a lot of time together. 

seldom 作副词，意为“不常；很少”相当

于hardly ever, 其反义词为often（经常）通常置于实义动词之前，助动词、系动词或情态动词之后。

► She seldom goes out by herself.

她很少独自外出。

► He is seldom late for school.

他上学很少迟到。
