开始上课了
Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and bark. Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate. As the neighbours complained of the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in. Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate. However, when I was going out shopping last week, I noticed him in the garden near the gate. This time he was barking so that someone would let him out ! Since then, he has developed another bad habit. As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he comes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts. Then he sits and barks until someone lets him out. After this he immediately lets himself in and begins barking again. Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him since.

参考译文
我家的狗雷克斯，过去常坐在大门外面叫。每当它想到花园里来时，便汪汪叫个不停，直到有人把门打开。由于邻居们对狗叫很有意见，所以我丈夫花了几个星期的时间训练它用脚爪按住门闩把自己放进来。雷克斯很快成了开门的专家。然而上星期我正要出去买东西时，发现它正呆在花园里边靠门的地方。这次它叫着让人把它放出去！从那以后，它养成了另外一种坏习惯。它从外面把门一打开，就走进花园，等着门自动关上。这之后他就坐下汪汪叫起来，直到有人来把它放出去。出去之后，它又马上把自己放进来，接着再开始叫。昨天，我丈夫把门卸了下来，雷克斯很生气，此后我们便再也没有见到它。

Ⅱ. 现身说“法”： so that引导的目的状语从句
目的状语从句一般由so that （以便）、 that （以便）、 in order that （为了） 等连词来引导， 从句中的谓语动词中常含有情态动词， 例如： may、 should、 would、 could 等词， 口语则用“can”。

“so that”引导的结果状语从句和目的状语从句的区别
Ⅲ. 说“文”解“字”
1. Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate.
（1） every time在这里是一个连词， 引导一个时间状语从句， 表示“每当”， “无论何时”。
（2） 句中的would表示过去习惯做的动作。
Every time I heard the song, I would cry my heart out.
每次一听到这首歌， 我就会哭得十分伤心。
2. As the neighbors complained of the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in.
（1） as此处引导的是原因状语从句。
（2） “主语 （人） + spend+时间/物+ （in） doing something”句型： spend的主语通常只能是人， 后面如果跟名词或代词必须用介词on； 如果跟的是动名词则用介词in （在口语中in往往被省略）。
I spent three dollars on this used pepper shaker. 我花了3美元买了这个二手的胡椒罐。
I spent ten months learning how to cook Italian food. 我花了10 个月的时间学习如何烹制意大利菜。
（3） train是个动词， 意思是“训练， 培训去做”， 句中它的宾语是him; to press his paw on the latch是宾语补足语， 而to let himself in作目的状语。
3. Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him since.
（1） so annoyed 后面省略了that， 引导的是结果状语从句； 结果状语从句中常有这种省略。
（2） since = later （副词） 意思是“从过去某一点到后来一点或现在”。
He moved to Shenzhen two years ago, and we haven’t seen him （ever） since.
他两年前搬去了深圳， 后来我们再没见过他。
