【长句分析】
1.When very young,John,a skinny boy,loved football with all his heart.小的时候,约翰,一个瘦弱的男孩,酷爱踢足球.
when very young在此作时间状语,相当于when he was very young.当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致时,从句的主语可以省略.原从句谓语如果是主动形式则改为ing形式,如果是被动形式则改为过去分词形式.例如：
When I got there,I found him reading.→ When getting there,I found him reading.
我到那儿时发现他正在读书.
If an ice is put in a warm room,it will change into water.→ If put in a warm room,the ice will change into water.
如果并被放在暖和的屋子里,它就会溶化成水.
2.His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games.父亲和儿子一起分享着好消息给他们带来的兴奋,并拿到了大学赛季的所有入场券.
并列连词and前面的句子用的是主动语态,后边的句子则用的是被动语态,且省略了句子的主语his father.
【词汇聚焦】
1.even though
even though也可以写作even if,意思是“即使,尽管”,引导让步状语从句.例如：

尽管工作辛苦,我却喜欢这工作.
Even if you saw him pick up the money,you can’t be sure he stole it.
就算你看见是他拾起的钱,你也不能肯定钱就是他偷的.
now that相当于since,表示“既然”,引导原因状语从句.例如：
Now that I am free,I can enjoy music for a while.既然有空,我可以享受一下音乐.
as if等于as though,表示“似乎,好像”,可以引导方式状语从句或表语从句.例如：
He walked as if he were drunk.
他走起路来像喝醉了似的.
It sounds as if it is raining.
听起来像在下雨.
what if的意思是“如果……怎么办”.例如：
What if the boy’s parents should die?
如果那男孩的父母死了该怎么办呢?
