*REWARD* 苏教版牛津高中英语模块八第三单元The world of colors and light中有着这样的句子： Unfortunately, although van Gogh committed his whole being to painting, he received little reward for his effort.（P35） 遗憾的是，尽管梵高全身心地投入绘画，他的努力所得到的回报却微乎其微。柯林斯英语词典对reward作名词时的解释是：something that is given in return for good or evil done or received or that is offered or given for some service or attainment，中文意思为“回报，报酬，奖励”。
例如：The mayor has offered a reward of ￥ 5，000 to (anyone) who can capture the tiger alive or dead. 市长悬赏5 000美元给能够抓到活的或者死老虎的人。(07年上海市高考英语卷)
Work gets done (more easily) when people do it together, and the rewards are higher too. 当人们齐心协力的时候工作更容易做好，而且能够有更高的回报。(07年浙江省高考英语卷)
reward也可以作动词使用，意为“奖励，给以报酬”。例如：The boss rewarded her with a cash bonus for her great efforts. 对于她所作的努力，老板给予了一笔奖金。
★拓展
1. 区别reward, award, prize等几个近义词。
首先，award, reward, prize三个名词应用的语境有所不同。
award强调正式的官方授予的荣誉，例如世界著名的奥斯卡金像奖Academy Award。例如： His movie won several awards at the film festival, (which) was beyond his wildest dream. 他的电影在电影节上获了若干奖项，这是他从未想过的。(07年上海高考英语试题)
reward一词中的前缀re-有again（又，再，重新）的意思，所以可理解为付出后拿回的报酬。例如：The fireman received a reward for saving the child’s life. 火警因为救了一个孩子的生命而获得嘉奖。
prize则指在各类竞赛、竞争或抽奖中所赢得的奖项，有时可能凭能力获得，也可能凭运气获得。例如：He won first prize in the writing competition. 他在作文大赛中获得一等奖。
其次，award作动词时接双宾语，搭配为award sb. sth.或者award sth. to sb.。
2. rewarding 的用法。
rewarding是形容词，作为一个独立的单词，它有“值得做的，有益的，有回报的”意思。例如：Planning ahead can make your experience less difficult and more rewarding. 提前计划可以使你经历更少的困难，收获更多。
*ADMIT*
苏教版牛津高中英语模块八第三单元The world of colors and light中有着这样的句子：In 1983, he gained admission to the Beijing School of Art.（P43）（1983年，他被北京艺术学院录取。）句中关键词admission是我们这次要讨论的admit的名词形式。这个动词的过去式与过去分词的变形均为admitted。它的具体用法如下：
（1） 表示“承认某事，做过某事”（常指不情愿地承认某事属实）时，固定搭配为：admit (to) sth./ doing sth./ having done sth.这里的to是介词，有时可以省略。
例如：He admitted his mistake. 他承认了自己的错误。
She admits being strict with her children. 她承认对自己的孩子很严厉。
He admitted having read my private letter. 他承认读过了我的私人信件。
（2） 表示“准许进入，加入”，固定搭配为：admit sb. to/into。
例如：There were no windows to admit air to the room. 房间里没有窗子可以使空气流入。
No one but ticket-holders was admitted into the theater. 只有持票者方可进入剧场。
Information has been put forward (that) more middle school graduates will be admitted into universities. （人们提出）更多的高中毕业生应该进入大学的建议。（01年上海市高考英语卷）
（3） 用于admit of结构时，意为“容许，有……的可能，有……的余地”，主语通常是物而不是人。
例如：The matter admits of no delay. 这件事刻不容缓。
The regulations admit of no exception. 规章不容破例。
