知识点：
1.与preferable类似的“原级表示比较”的形容词有哪些？
答：Superior, inferior, prior, junior, senior, preferable等形容词虽为原级的形式，但表达比较的意义，因为是原级的形式，所以比较连接词用to而不用than，如“A比B更可取”为“A is preferable to B”，“A比B资历更深”为“A is senior to B”
2.请用be reluctant to …造句；
In fAce of four radically different choices – starting a business, taking parT.I. the entrance exams for postgraduate schools, going abroad or Hunting a job – countless graduates are reluctant to step forward, wondering where to go.
面对着四个截然不同的选择——创业、考研、出国、就业——很多毕业生束手束脚，不知何去何从。
3.hers是什么代词？这样的代词常见的还有哪些？
答：这里的hers是“名词性物主代词”，英语中的物主代词可分为“形容词性物主代词”（adjectival possessive pronoun）和“名词性物主代词”(nominal possessive pronoun)。“名词性物主代词”是在物体已经指出的情况下来代替已知物体的物主代词，后面不需要加上已知名词。例如She should interpret what I said in my sense of the word, not in hers.其中hers = her sense of word；类似的名词性物主代词还有mine = my + n. / ours = our + n. / yours = your + n. / his = his + n. / hers = her + n. / its = its + n. / theirs = their + n.

一边翻译，一边用心体验句子成分和词汇
And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either tossed her own token at the reseArcher or out of the chamber, or refused to accept the slice of cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other chamber (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to induce resentment in a female capuchin.
