Section_ⅣLearning_about_Language__Using_LanguageA FACT OR AN OPINION?What is a fact? Is it something that people believe①？ No. A fact is anything that can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more people than any other② country in the world. This is a fact.Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved③. So an opinion is not good evidence④ in a trial⑤. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs”. It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with⑥ this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right.In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewitnesses to believe and which not to believe⑦. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works⑧.He/She only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions⑨.This kind of information is called evidence.①that引导定语从句，修饰something。②any other 任何其他一个more ... than any other ... 为比较级形式，却表达了最高级的含义，此处相当于has the most people of all the countries in the world。在It can be proved that ... 句式中，it是形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的从句。③what引导表语从句，其中someone believes为插入语。④evidence/evId?ns/n.根据；证据good evidence充分的证据⑤trial/traI?l/n.审判；审讯；试验in a trial 在审判中⑥agree with 赞成；同意(后接sb.或what sb. says)agree with 还表示“与……一致；(食物、气候等)适合某人”。⑦eyewitness/?aIwItnIs/n.目击者；证人句中两个“which＋不定式”结构都作decide的宾语。⑧or 连接了由what和where引导的两个从句，作动词consider的并列宾语，其语序均为陈述语序。⑨care about 在乎；在意；关心　rather than 而不是whether引导的从句作cares about的宾语；which引导非限制性定语从句。事实还是看法？什么是事实呢？是不是人们所相信的就是事实呢？不是。事实是任何可以被证实的事。举例来说，中国人口比世界上任何其他一个国家的人口都多，这是可以被证实的，这就是事实。那么，什么是看法呢？看法是人们相信是真实的，但是未经证实。因此在审判中，看法不是有说服力的证据。举例来说，如果你说“猫作为宠物比狗好”，这就是看法，这个看法可能是正确的，但是它难以被证实。有些人可能不同意这种看法，但是他们也不能证明他们是正确的。在审判中，法官必须断定哪些证人可以相信，哪些证人不能相信。法官并不考虑每个证人的长相如何，也不考虑那个人住在哪里，或者在哪儿工作。他/她关心的只是证人是否提供了真实的信息，这些信息必须是事实而不是看法。这种信息就叫作证据。Step 1　Read the text and answer the following question.　Whats the main idea of the passage？(no more than 10 words)Th
