From Shy Girl to Pop Star
1 For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19 year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now she’s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds.
2 I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I always

have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don’t have much private time anymore. Hanging out with riends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.”
3 What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous “Well,” she begins slowly, “you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. Only a very small number of people make it to the top.”

I used to be short. I didn’t use to be popular in school.
Paula used to be really quiet. She didn’t use to like tests.

课堂活动
Grammar Focus
1. used to的用法
(1) used to的意思是“过去经常”，其中的to是不定式符号，不是介词，所以其后接动词原形(不接动名词)。
如：He used to live in Paris.他过去一直住在巴黎。
I used to write poetry when I was young．我年轻时常常写诗。
(2) 如何构成否定式和疑问式
used to作为情态动词，可直接在used后加not构成否定式，直接将used置于句首构成疑问式，但与一般的情态动词不同的，它也可像普通动词那样借助助动词did构成否定式和疑问式。
如：He usedn't [didn't use] to come.他过去不常来。
You used to go there, usedn't [didn't] you 你过去常到那儿去，是吗
Where did you use to live 你过去是住哪儿的
课堂活动
Grammar Focus
(3) used to与be used to的用法比较
① used to意为“过去经常”，其中的 to是不定式符号，后接动词原形。
如：He used to live in Paris.他过去一直住在巴黎。
② be used to意为“习惯于”，其中的to是介词，后接动词要用动名词。
如：He is used to living in the country.他已习惯于住在乡下。
若要强调从不习惯到习惯的过程，可用 get, become等代替动词 be。
③tbe used to有时可能是动词 use的被动语态结构 (此时意为“被用来”，其中的 to为不定式符号，其后要接动词原形)。
如：A hammer is used to drive in nails.锤子是用来钉钉子的。
