1. 认识这个词（基础篇）
词：prize
英英释义：to consider something to be very important and special
例句：Overseas returnees are no longer highly prized by employers.
2. 体会这个词 （进阶篇）
我们很熟悉“prize”作为名词是“奖品”“奖赏”，其实它也常作为动词使用，表示“珍惜”“青睐”。在一些语境中，我们可以用 prize 替换 value, appreciate, hold dear 等词。
比如“我知道你很重视我们之间的友谊”，就可以说成：
I know that you prize our friendship.
最新一期的《经济学人》在语言专栏 Johnson 中就用到了 prize：
It seems that people prize attitude over expertise.（这句话的意思是说，读者读写作指南时，更看重作者对语言的态度而不是专业知识）
prize A over B 也是个常见表达，表示“更重视 A，而不是 B”。比如我们想说和用哪种方式阅读比较而言，我们应该更重视内容，就可以说成：
We should prize content over the means to read it.
prize 表示“珍惜”“青睐”时，也常常使用被动语态 be prized by。比如我们想说如今“海归”回国找工作时没那么“吃香”了，就可以说：
Overseas returnees are no longer highly prized by employers.
3. 从认识到会用（作业）
1）翻译下面的句子：
许多中国家长非常重视奥数比赛。
The International Mathematical Olympiad, a competition for high school students, is much prized by many Chinese parents.
（参考翻译：The International Mathematical Olympiad, a competition for high school students, is much prized by many Chinese parents.）
2）结合自己的生活、学习、工作、兴趣等，想象在什么语境下会用到这个表达。先简要描述这个场景，再造句。
例子： 商业
场景 ：The new year is the moment when people vow to improve their fitness. They join gyms, swear off alcohol and adopt detox diets. These resolutions usually do not last beyond January. But some employers who prize the employers’ health try to help their workers stick to their goals by offering wellness programmes. One of the longest-running examples began in 1979 at Johnson & Johnson (J&J), an American health-care company.
