下面我们继续本周《新概念英语2》第26课的重点句型或语法的分享。先来读一读课文：
一、课文原文
Lesson 26 The best art critics
I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures. Many people pretend that they understand modern art. They always tell you what a picture is 'about'. Of course, many pictures are not 'about' anything. They are just pretty patterns. We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material. I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. They notice more. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not. She came into my room yesterday. ‘What are you doing?' she asked. ‘I’m hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered. 'It's a new one. Do you like it?' She looked at it critically for a moment. 'It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside-down?' I looked at it again. She was right! It was!

二、重点句型或语法
本课侧重一般现在时的用法。在第2课里，我们已经对比了一般现在时与现在进行时的用法区别。
在本课中，新增加了一般现在时的两个内容：一个是客观事实或真理的表达；另一个是一些不用进行时态的动词的用法。
下面，通过例句加深理解。
1. 一般现在时用于对客观事实或真理的表达
如：
Shanghai lies in the east of China.
The earth moves around the sun.
2. 以下动词很少用于进行时态，如：like, want, need, prefer, know, realize, suppose, mean, understand, believe, remember, belong, fit, contain, consist, seem 等。
如：
I’m hungry. I want something to eat.
Anna doesn’t seem very happy at the moment.
三、一课一题

Alan says he’s 80 years old, but nobody _____ him.
