We're pushing our kids to get good grades, take SAT preparatory courses and build resumes so they can get into the college of our first choice. (08.6 Passage 2)

　　主干：We're pushing our kids to...(so they can get into...)

　　主句部分的三个并列的动词不定式(to get..., take... and build...)作宾语our kids的补语。so引导目的状语从句，说明“我们逼迫孩子”做种种事情的目的。

　　译文：我们逼孩子考高分、参加SAT考前辅导班、写简历，从而能让他们进入我们首选的学校

　　By and large, I clearly had not found a way to help classes full of MBAs see that there is more to life than money, power, fame and self-interest. (06.12 Passage 2)

　　主干：...I...had not found a way...

　　不定式to help作定语，修饰a way;该不定式用了“help+宾语(classes)+补语(省to的不定式)”的结构，see作补语。see后接了一个that引导的宾语从句，该从句时there be句型，并用了比较结构。

　　译文：总的来说，我显然并没有找到一种方法能够帮助满是MBA学生的班级意识到生活不仅仅是金钱、权力、名声和自我利益。
