总是说the population is large.
但是two thirds of the population 的谓语却是单复数都可以。。。看来语法题说实在的都无法穷尽惯用法。即使是专家绞尽脑汁都往往可能不知道一些表达法原来也很地道，这样有怎么能够来要求学生记那么多？
还不如多提高学生的阅读能力、听的能力、说的能力，至于那些很抠的语法大可以消失了。

one third of the population is/are workers.

real：真正客观存在，并非想象捏造的 词源本义：是物的，实实在在存在的
true：与事实相符，并非虚构的 词源本义：可信赖的 含有价值判断

熟知的表达：
really？真的么？不是骗我的吧？

in reality 在现实中

true of false

true多指情感概念判断等抽象意义的真实性
the feeling is true.
true love.
it is true that the earth goes around the sun.

true 名副其实的 trueman
it is not true that i am going to marry her.

今天看到题目，今晚我不想呆在家里。
i don't fancy staying at home tonight.
觉得应该是stay home.
查阅了网上的，没见到很权威的解释。
查找柯林斯高级英语用法词典391页
得知英国人说stay at home,美国人说stay home.习惯问题而已。
不过home在第一个是名词，在第二个是副词吧？

go home中home是副词，go to my home中home是名词

3．I joined in the march and we were marching peacefully along and then the police came up．

我参加了这次大游行。我们平平静静地向前走着，这时警察突然来了。
