parents lived through the Great Depression of the 1930s and I heard stories
from both of them about how their lives changed because of it. The same was
true of my in-laws whose lives were also affected negatively. For example, my
husband’s grandfather owned a factory. Owing to the stock (证券) market crash, he lost the
factory and went back to work in the very factory he’d once owned. He could no
longer afford to send my father-in-law to college. My father-in-law worked full
time as a pipe fitter and went to school part-time to earn his degree, which
took seven years.
my husband and I never dreamed that we would live through anything similar.
However, as they say, history often repeats itself. In 1929, the stock market
crashed in the month of October. The same thing happened in 2008. My husband,
who had invested (投资) all our money in the market, was in a state of shock. Each day the
news was more terrible.

just stared at him. “How can that be?”
thought we had good, solid investments, but it seems I was wrong.”
we do have pensions (抚恤金),” I said. “Hopefully, they won’t be affected. Since we have never
lived a high lifestyle to begin with, I don’t think we have to worry.”
did hope to leave our children and grandchildren a generous inheritance (遗产),” my husband said. He shook
his head in disbelief.

children are grown and we always try to be generous to them and our
grandchildren.
just won’t be the same.”
world is always changing,” I said. “You never know what will happen. The main
thing is not to get discouraged. As long as we have our health and can afford
the necessities of life, there’s no reason to be upset. When you have your
health, you can always earn more money.”
hugged my husband and he kissed me in return.
guess you’re right,” he agreed. “We love each other. We have our health and
enough money to live on comfortably. That’s all that matters.”
to move out of our house into an apartment. Since few people could afford a
house in those hard days, we decided to offer it for considerably less than it
would normally be worth. Even so, several buyers changed their mind days before
closing. But finally, our home was sold.
we shook hands with the new owners, I told them how fortunate they were.
only are you getting a bargain in the price, but this house has good luck.
We bought the house from a family who lived in it for nine years. They were a
happy family, a husband, wife and five children. It was a cheerful house and we
had a good feeling about it. We raised our children here as well.”

ourselves. And I believe in luck too.”

large garden in the backyard.”
seemed so young and happy and full of plans. My husband and I had to smile. At
least some good was coming out of the economic difficulty. We no longer needed
a house. It was good to know that another young family would now be living in
what had been a happy, loving home for us. Also, the house needed work that we no
longer had the energy to perform.
may be tough times economically, but as for me, I intend to look forward, not
back. As Shakespeare said in Macbeth, “what’s done is done and cannot be
undone.” It’s the present and future that matter. We can learn from our
mistakes and make our lives better.

回复1楼:他们两个都
He has two sons,___work as doctors .A.two of them B.both of them C.both of whom both 两者都 both of +宾格them 意味着他们只有两个人，而且两个都属于同一种情况 但是如果像例题有了一个逗号，就要一个连词and来连接两个句子both of +宾格whom，表示“一共有两个人，而这两个人都怎么样”顺便说two of whom,表示“有多于两个人，至少三个人，而其中两个人怎么样”说到最后我觉得both of them 和both of whom没啥区别可以互换吧？我明天回去问问老师看看楼主你又提了我一个不懂的知识点，如果楼主知道是否有区别希望和我说一下^^
这是定语从句，高中要讲的三大从句之一。这之前有一句话，是主句，主句提及两个人，而这句话是从句，主句中的人在从句中重复出现，在次用了引导词whom，不同于both of them之处是，如果逗号后紧跟一个and,就应选both of them
初中考这种东西属于超纲，所以不会不必纠结、初中会宾语从句就够用了。。。高三党一枚、

whom的话应该是定语从句吧，是引导词，像5L那个句子，我感觉应该是选c，如果要选b的话那中间应该是句号，因为前面的句子说完了，中午老师刚讲过一个类似的。。我们刚学这个，不知道对不对，等lx高手解释

neither(both) of them后加单数还是复数?为什么呢?

这是一个‘主谓一致’的问题,neither是其中比较难以使用的单词之一.当neither被用作主语或者主语的一部分时,谓语就要用单数.因为它指的是‘两者之中哪一个都不.’.例如：-Neither cell phone is made in Shanghai.两部手机都不是上海制造.(这句话里neither是形容词,修饰其后的cell phone)-Neither of them was invited.两人都没被邀请.（这句话里neiher是代词,充当主语）但是,在后一句如果用口语来说,也可以用复数：Neither of them were invited. 不过考试时,保险起见,用单数.
