试比较下面两句：
the old woman is sure to live to more than ninety.

◎be sure to 用于祈使句时，是“务必”，“一定”的意思。

◎be sure接that从句时，意为“认为……一定会”，主语必须是人，连词that可以省略。be sure后面还可以接由whether, where, when或who等引导的名词性从句，这时主句通常是否定形式。

魔力解析

正：smoking is bad for your health, so you must give it up.
五、语法：本单元语法重点内容是used to这个句型。
1. “主语＋used to＋动词原形＋其它”。在这个句型结构中used to的含义为“过去常常”。表示过去的习惯，暗示现在已无此习惯，请看图：
dave在过去几年中一直在factory中工作，但现在他在supermarket中工作，所以dave used to work in a factory. 隐含的意思是：dave worked in a factory before but he doesn’t work there now.
2. 我们可以说i used to work…/she used to have…/they used to be…等等，也就是说used这个词没有人称的变化，to后面接动词原形。
请看例句：

i used to read a lot of books but i don’t read much these days.
liz has got short hair now but it used to be very long.
liz现在梳短发，但以前她是长发。

当我还是个孩子时，我不喜欢西红柿。
问句形式是did you use to…?
where did you use to live before you came here?
在你来这儿之前你住哪儿？
3. used to这个词组只用于讲述过去，我们不能用use to来讲述现在
i used to play tennis. these days i play golf. （不说 i use to play golf. ）
we usually get up early. （不说we use to get up early.）
