discover，find，invent，create
(1)discover发现的对象本身存在，但主语不知道，如科学真理、新的区域等，有时也泛指“发现”某种情况、丢失的东西。
(2)find作“发现”讲，其常用结构是find＋宾语＋补足语。find接that从句则表示“发现一个事实、一个道理”。
(3)invent指“发明”，发明以前没有的新东西，如工具、机器、材料、方法等，也可指“捏造”某种不诚实的借口、理由等。
(4)create则指有目的地把原材料制成新产品，也指创造出原来不存在的或与众不同的事物。

归纳总结
the＋序数词＋time可作连词，引导一个状语从句。其重点不是强调某一次做了什么事，而是叙述某一动作或情况，即第几次做某事的时候。这时不能与for连用，并且time后不用when。
It is time for sb.to do sth.；It is (high) time that sb.did sth.,第二个句型用一般过去时表达虚拟语气，表示“是该某人做某事的时候了”。

2【教材原句】 Mencius believed that the reason why man is different from animals is that man is good.(P43)
孟子认为人之所以不同于动物是因为人是向善的。
【句法分析】 第一个that引导的是宾语从句，在宾语从句中，why引导定语从句修饰the reason；that man is good是表语从句。
the reason (why...)is that...(……的)原因是……

我迟到的原因是没有赶上公共汽车。
②The reason why he was driving so fast was that he would be late for an important meeting.
他把车开得这么快的原因是他参加重要会议要迟到了。
【注意】 reason用作定语从句先行词时，首先判断reason在定语从句中作什么成分，如果作状语，则要使用关系副词why引导定语从句，而且why有时可省略；如作主语或宾语，则使用关系代词that/which引导定语从句。
③I didn’t believe the reason (that/which) he gave me.
我不相信他给我的理由。
即境活用
