Summary: 1 Can you think of other ways of detox 2 Do you think it is a waste of time in detox Why Unit 2 Period 2 Grammar
Learning Objectives 1 To know the usage of past perfect passive 2 To use past perfect passive correctly
Learning activities
目标一: To know the usage of past perfect passive Activity 1: Look at the sentences and answer the questions. Sentence (a) is from the reading passage. a At the start of the detox, over 100 students had been persuaded to stop using social media, in ANY form, for seven days. b At the start of the detox, people had persuaded over 100 students to stop using social media, in ANY form, for seven days.
1 Were the students in sentence (a) persuaded before the detox started, or afterwards 2 What is the difference between sentence (a) and (b) 3 Why does the author choose to use passive form instead of an active form Answers: 1 The students were persuaded before the detox started. 2 They differ in voice. The passive voice is used in sentence (a), while the active voice is used in sentence (b). 3 Maybe the author don’t know who had persuaded students to stop using social media, or it is unnecessary to say who the persuaders were. Now look for more sentences with the past perfect passive in the reading passage, and summarise its uses in your own words. They had been promised money by family and friends for each day spent without using social media. But on reflection, I can see how much of my time had been occupied with checking my phone. Activity 2: Read the sentences again and summarise the structure and concept of past perfect passive. At the start of the detox, over 100 students had been persuaded to stop using social media, in ANY form, for seven days. They had been promised money by family and friends for each day spent without using social media. I am to find out just how many have been motivated enough to last the full seven days! But on reflection, I can see how much of my time had been occupied with checking my phone. Answer: had been done 过去完成时的被动语态是过去完成时和被动语态的叠合， 表示在过去某一时间或某个动作之前已经完成,且主语与谓语动词之间存在被动关系。 Activity 3: Read the sentences and summarise the four sentence structures with past perfect passive voice. 1 The pen had been broken by the boy before it was found. 2 The problem had not been solved by the time I left the room. 3 Had the office been cleaned before the director came When had the buildings been destroyed Answers: 1 肯定结构：主语＋had been done (＋其他) 2 否定结构：主语＋hadn’t been done (＋其他) 3 疑问结构：Had＋主语＋been done (＋其他)； 疑问词＋had＋主语＋been done (＋其他) 【语法精讲】 下面两种情况一般用被动语态： 一是强调动作的承受者。例如：The pen had been broken by the boy before it was found. 二是不知道动作的执行者，或者没有必要指出谁是动作的执行者。例如：The task had been completed before noon yesterday. 1 用在found, told ,said, heard, knew , thought等动词后的宾语从句中，表示宾语从句中的动作已被完成。 When she got home, she found that her keys had been left in her office. 2 当before, when, by the time等引导的时间状语从句的时态是一般过去时时，若主句的动作发生在从句的动作之前且表示被动，则主句要用过去完成时的被动语态。 By 16:30, which was almost closing time, nearly all the paintings had been sold. 3 当before, by , by the end of后接过去的时间点时，且句子的主语与谓语所表示的动作为被动关系时，句子常用过去完成时。 By the end of last month, those houses had been built. 4 在 It was the first /second/third…time that句型中，当从句的主语是从句动作的承受者时，要用过去完成时的被动语态。 It was the second time that his bike had been stolen. 5 当虚拟语气用在条件句中时， 若条件状语从句表示与过去的事实相反，且从句的主语是从句动作的承受者，则从句要用过去完成时的被动语态。 If I had been invited earlier, I would have gone with you.

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day, the boy hammered so many nails into the fence that his father had to give him a whole new bag. Over the next few weeks, as he learnt to control his anger, he hammered fewer and fewer nails into the fence each day. He had learnt that it was easier to hold his temper than to hammer nails into the fence. Finally, the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper all day, not even once. He told his father, who said that now the boy should pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed by and the boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son and led him to the fence. He said, “You’ve done well, son, but look at all the holes in the fence! That fence will never be the same. When you say something in anger, it leaves a hole in someone's heart, just like your nails have left holes in the fence. It doesn’t matter how many times you say sorry.

Summary of the story: Once there was a boy with a bad temper. His dad told him to hammer a nail into the fence every time he lost his temper. The boy learnt to control his temper because it was easier than hammering the nails into the fence. Then his dad asked him to pull one nail out every time he was able to hold his temper.

Make improvements to each other’s reflections and share them with the class. Sample: Once there was a boy with a bad temper. His dad told him to hammer a nail into the fence every time he lost his temper. The boy learnt to control his temper because it was easier than hammering the nails into the fence. Then his dad asked him to pull one nail out every time he was able to hold his temper. When the boy pulled out all the nails, his dad showed him the holes in the fence, telling his anger had left “scars” that would never heal, like the holes in the fence. According to the story, it is important to learn how to control your temper so that you do not do or say anything that will hurt other people. So how can we control our temper First, we can talk to someone we trust about how we feel. This is a good way of letting our anger out without hurting others. Second, we can go outdoors and play team sports with our friends, because physical exercise provides an effective way to calm down. If we keep calm and stay optimistic, we can take control over our temper, which will benefit us throughout life.
