UNIT 2　Improving yourself
Using language
Past perfect passive
Look at the sentences and answer the questions. Sentence (a) is from the reading passage.
1 Were the students in sentence (a) persuaded before the detox started, or afterwards
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.
The students were persuaded before the detox started.
Past perfect passive
Look at the sentences and answer the questions. Sentence (a) is from the reading passage.
2 What is the difference between sentences (a) and (b)
They differ in voice. The passive voice is used in sentence (a), while the active voice is used in sentence (b).
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.
Past perfect passive
Look at the sentences and answer the questions. Sentence (a) is from the reading passage.
3 Why does the author choose to use a passive form instead of an active form
Maybe the author doesn’t know who had persuaded students to stop using social media, or it is unnecessary to say who the persuaders were.
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.
Complete Jack’s blog post with the correct form of the verbs in brackets.
Before I turned over a new leaf, I had always been a very lazy student. I was careless about handing in my homework, and none of my assignment deadlines 1______________ (meet). Indeed, I would deliberately “lose” my homework in my incredibly messy room, so that I could put off 2__________ (do) it! My parents soon worked out this trick, though, and one day I came home to find that my room 3_______________ (clean), and my homework 4____________ (put) right in the centre of a spotlessly clean desk! A present 5____________ (leave) on the desk, too (I think Mum did that): a book called The Art of Procrastination.
The author, John Perry, said that procrastination was about 6__________ (avoid) the hardest and most important tasks. So, 7__________ (make) sure you do your homework, put it second or third on your to-do list, not at the top. Then put one or two really hard things you don’t want to do at the top of the list. You will procrastinate to avoid the hard stuff—by doing your homework!

参考答案
Jack started the habit of cleaning his room last week. This is what his room looked like yesterday morning. (The floor was clean. The sheet was laid flat on the bed. All the books and clothes were placed neatly and tidily. The pictures on the wall were straight.) But two weeks ago, Jack’s room had been an awful mess. His clothes had been thrown everywhere; the pictures had not been hung straight; and all the drawers had been opened. It had been a very disorderly sort of room, with books and papers lying around everywhere.

Tapescript (I=Interviewer W=Ms Wu)
I: Honesty is a traditional value for the Chinese. Recently, one senior high school in our city developed a programme to promote honesty among its students. Today we are honoured to have with us the principal of that high school, Ms Wu Yuxian, who is the initiator of the Honesty Programme. Ms Wu, how did you go about promoting honesty at your school
W: I can give a couple of examples. We first started an activity last year called the “unsupervised examination”. That is, during this examination, there is no teacher present to oversee the students. Before taking the examination, students first need to sign a letter of commitment, promising to abide by the rules.
I: It’s great that you trust all of your students to sit the unsupervised examination.
W: Well, let me clarify, it’s still only some of them. In the beginning, we chose only some classes so we could get an idea if an unsupervised examination would work or not. To our surprise, it was a great success. Students generally expressed that they like this kind of examination because it’s good to feel trusted and they quite enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere in the examination. In turn, they developed greater self-control. As a result, more classes will do this examination as of next term.
Tapescript (I=Interviewer W=Ms Wu)
I: What fabulous students! Can you give any other examples from the Honesty Programme
W: Yes, for instance, we have what we call the “honesty umbrella”. At the start of the term, we put 200 umbrellas in the library, the canteen and the teaching buildings. Printed on each umbrella was a short statement about honesty and other values, such as “Honesty is the best policy” or “It’s good to share”. The result was that at the end of the term, all the umbrellas were returned in one piece. I mean not one of them had been lost or damaged.
I: That’s fantastic! What else are you going to do
W: We are planning to expand the programme. Take next year as an illustration. We aim to introduce the programme to another branch of the school. A culture of honesty can exist and grow in a group environment. To put it another way, everyone needs to work together to build a culture of honesty, and we need more teachers and students to join us.
I: Thank you, Ms Wu!
W: It’s my pleasure.
