40、 FocusCritical ThinkingStep TwoDiscuss in groups and work out a list of the features that make a childrens book a classic.Reading FocusCritical Thinking1.With a first printing of 5.3 million copies and advance orders topping 1.8 million,Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,the fourth installment of t
41、he series,promises to break every bookselling record.(Para.1)installment:1)one of the parts of a story that appears as a series of parts,especially in a magazine,newspaper,etc.e.g.the first installment of a science fiction trilogy（三部曲）2)One of a number of successive payments in settlement of a debt.
42、e.g.*_(用分期付 款的方式购物)has become epidemic in recent years.*Theyre letting me pay for the washing machine _(按月付款地方式).Buying goods on the installment planby monthly installmentsReading FocusReading Focus Language Point 2.Amazingly,Rowling keeps her several plotlines clear of each other until the end,when
