聽錄音,然后回答以下問題。
Why did Rex run away?

Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and dark. Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate. As the neighbours complained of the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in. Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate. However, when I was going out shopping last week, I noticed him in the garden near the gate. This time he was barking so that someone would let him out! Since then, he has developed another bad habit. As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he comes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts. Then he sits and barks until someone lets him out. After this he immediately lets himself in and begins barking again. Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him since.
參考譯文

我家的狗雷克斯,過去常坐在大門外面叫。每當它想到花園里來時,便汪汪叫個不停,直到有人把門打開。由于鄰居們對狗叫很有意見,所以我丈夫花了幾個星期的時間訓練它用腳爪按住門閂把自己放進來。雷克斯很快成了開門的專家。然而上星期我正要出去買東西時,發(fā)現(xiàn)它正呆在花園里邊靠門的地方。這次它叫著讓人把它放出去!從那以后,它養(yǎng)成了另外一種壞習慣。它從外面把門一打開,就走進花園,等著門自動關上。這之后他就坐下汪汪叫起來,直到有人來把它放出去。出去之后,它又馬上把自己放進來,接著再開始叫。昨天,我丈夫把門卸了下來,雷克斯很生氣,此后我們便再也沒有見到它。

so that :以便于,為了(表達目的)
so...that...如此...以致于
表達目的:to/in order to /in order that/ so as to /so that
to + 動詞原型, that+從句
目的狀語從句必須具備一個特征:在動詞前面一定要出現(xiàn)情態(tài)動詞
after this
got 是謂語動詞
have seen 也是謂語dc
so annoyed(that)
so...that...:如此...以致于,結(jié)果狀語從句,可以省略一個詞
so that 目的'狀語從句,謂語動詞前面一定要要情態(tài)動詞
since(加在尾巴上)=since then :從那時起到現(xiàn)在為止

【Special difficulties】

表達目的的幾種方式 :to/in orderto /so as to +原型
in order that /so that +目的狀語從句
目的狀語從句當中不存在want,只有to do
非謂語動詞的否定形式在結(jié)構前面
如果發(fā)現(xiàn)do的動作不是由主語做的,而是由其他人做的,在do的前面加for sb
不定式的邏輯主語:for sb to do sth
