請看下面的這道題：

—How do you feel after taking the medicine?

—Oh, it __________. I'm feeling much better now.

A. costs B. loses C. does D. works

分析：此題應(yīng)選D。容易誤選C。在口語中，動詞do, work有兩個用法值得注意。如：

1. work 表示“行得通”或“奏效”等。如：

The plan worked well. 這個計劃很起作用。

The drug will not work. 這藥不會起作用。

It worked like a charm. 這產(chǎn)生了奇效。

Your idea won't work in practice. 你的想法實際上行不通。

Will these new methods work? 這些新方法會奏效嗎?

I think your suggestion will work. 我想你的建議會奏效的。

The medicine worked and the pain went away soon. 這藥效很好，疼痛很快就消失了。

2. do 表示“行”、“適合”、“湊合”。如：

Will that do? 那行嗎?

Any dictionary will do. 什么詞典都行。

This won't do. I'll take that. 這個不行，我要那個。

I'm terribly hungry. Get me something to eat, please. Anything will do. 我餓極了，請給我弄點吃的東西來，什么都行。

When shall we meet again? 我們什么時候再見面?

Any time will do. It's all the same to me. 什么時候都行，我無所謂。
