部分课文的注释
My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland. 我的女儿简从未想过会收到荷兰一位同龄姑娘的来信。
（1）My daughter和Jane是同位语。
（2）of one's own age，和某人年龄相仿的。
（3）dreamed of后面的部分都是宾语。动名词 receiving作介词of的宾语，同时它又带有自己的宾语a letter。receive… from…表示“从……收到……”。
Last year, we were travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle. 去年，当我们横渡英吉利海峡时，简把写有她姓名和住址的一张纸条装进了一只瓶子。
（1）在写到过去的事情时，一般过去时和过去进行时可以连用。过去进行时往往用来表示背景，一般过去时表示发生的动作。在这句话中，were travelling across the Channel是个持续时间较长的背景动作。
（2）the Channel = the English Channel（channel如果大写，并且除了the以外没有其他定语时，则指英吉利海峡）。
（3）with在这里表示“有”、“带有”、“具有”等，这里with her name and address on it作定语，用来修饰a piece of paper，可译作“写有她姓名和地址的（一张纸条）”。
Both girls write to each other regularly now. 现在这两位姑娘定期通信了。
both用在名词前面时，of可有可无。在both girls中，both为形容词；在both of the girls中，both为代词。each other互相（两者之间），一般作宾语，与one another相互（多者之间）意思相近。
Letters will cost a little more, but they will certainly travel faster. 这样会稍微多花点钱，但肯定是快得多了。
（1）more和faster都是副词的比较级。这里隐含的比较成分是邮局寄信与海上漂瓶。a little可以修饰比较级，意思是“稍微”。
（2）动词cost意为“（使）花费”、“价钱为……”，其主语通常为某物或某件事情，如：
It costs a lot to buy a house. 买一所房子要花许多钱。
The dress cost me twenty pounds. 这件连衣裙花了我20英镑。
后面跟of的动词短语
accuse of，控告；approve of，赞成；assure of，让……放心；beware of，谨防；boast of (boast about)，夸耀；complain of (complain about)，埋怨；consist of，由……组成；convince of (convince about)，使信服；cure of，治愈；despair of，丧失……希望；dream of (dream about)，幻想；expect of (expect from)，期望；hear of (hear from)，听到……消息；be/get rid of，摆脱；smell of，闻到；suspect of，对……猜疑；think of (think about)，思考；tire(d) of，对……感到厌烦；warn of (warn against)，警告……有危险。
后面跟from的动词短语
borrow from，从……借；defend from (defend against)，保护……使免于；demand from (demand of)，向……要求；differ from，有别于；dismiss from，解雇；draw from，从……中得出；emerge from，从……出现；escape from，从……逃出；excuse from (excuse for)，允许不……；hinder from，阻止；prevent from，妨碍；prohibit from，不准许；protect from (protect against)，保护，使……免于；receive from，接到；separate from，把……分开；suffer from，受难。

多项选择题讲解
1. 选（d）。
根据课文第4～5行She threw the bottle into the sea. She never thought of ir again，只有（d）She didn't expect anyone to find the bottle（她没有期望有人发现这个瓶子）是课文所暗示的内容，其它三个选项均不符合课文实际内容。
2. 选（b）。
根据课文第6行Both girls write to each other regularly now，只有（b）correspond in the normal way now（现在以正常的方式通信）与课文实际内容相符，correspond = write to each other，其它三个选项均不是课文提及的内容。
3. 选（d）。
动词dream（梦想）可以同介词of或about连用，后面跟动名词作宾语，也可以直接跟that引导的从句作宾语。（a）to receive是动词不定式，不符合语法；（b）to receiving介词有错误；（c）of receive用了动词原形，也不符合语法；只有（d）that she would receive是that引导的从句，可以作dream的宾语，因此应该选（d）。
4. 选（d）。
只有（d）the same age as（与……年龄相同）是正确的表达方式；而（a）the same age with不符合语法，same不应该与with连用，不对；（b）the same age、（c）as old后面都缺了as，也不对。
7. 选（a）。
只有（a）to one another（互相）符合意思和语法；而（b）the one to the other语法上没错，但没有“互相”的意思；（c）each to other不符合语法，应该是to each other；（d）to other既不符合语法，也没有“互相”的意思，符合语法的是to the other。
