课堂导入
过去进行时(二)
在上一模块中,我们学习了过去进行时态可以表示过去某一时刻或时段正在进行或持续的动作。常与 on yesterday morning, at that time, last night 等时间状语连用。过去进行时还可以和when, while 引导的过去时间状语从句连用,形成复合句。
Grammar
when, while, as 作连词时用法有所不同:
1. when 和while 引导的从句在用法上的区别如下:
(1) when引导的时间状语既可以指时间点,也可以
指时间段。while 引导的时间状语只指时间段。
我正试图抓住它,这时它再次咬了我。
I was trying to pick it up when it bit me again.
昨天早上我在公交车站等车时,遇见了我的朋友埃米。
While I was waiting at the bus stop yesterday
morning, I met my friend, Amy.
(2) when 引导的时间状语从句中动词可用延续
性动词,也可用短暂性动词。while 引导的
时间状语从句中动词必须是延续性动词。
我们正在交谈,这时,老师进来了。
We were talking when the teacher came in.
我们正吃晚饭时,他们来了。
They arrived when/while we were having dinner.

Careless Jack
My friend Jack was always having accidents. He did not pay attention to where he was going or what he was doing.
A few months ago, a car hit him while he was on his way home from school. The driver was a bit tired, so he did not see Jack. And Jack was talking on his mobile phone and was riding in the middle of the road. The car hit him. He broke his leg and was in hospital for over a month.
07
Last week, he fell down a hole in the park. As usual, he was not looking where he was going. Some kind-hearted people in the park helped him climb out of the hole and then took him to hospital because he was in a lot of pain. Luckily, he did not break an arm or a leg. At the hospital, the doctors gave him some medicine and then he went home.
I always told him to be careful, but he did not listen to me. After the two accidents, he promised to take my advice. Now he is very careful.

An emergency landing
US Airways Flight 1549 took off as usual from an airport in New York. But after only three minutes, the plane was hit by a large number of birds. The pilot, Chesley Sullenberger, had to make a quick decision to avoid a terrible disaster. He and the crew kept calm and he carefully made an emergency landing on the Hudson River.
