To know the usage of past continuous passive
To use past continuous passive correctly
目标一：To know the usage of past continuous passive
Activity 1: Look at the sentences and answer the questions. Sentence (a) is from the reading passage.
a When I hurried to the store, I saw that the books were already being packed into boxes.
b When I hurried to the store, I saw that the books were already packed into boxes.
1 What is the difference between sentences (a) and (b)
Past continuous passive is used in sentence (a) and past simple passive is used in sentence (b). In sentence (a) the action was being done while in sentence (b) the action was already finished.
2 Which sentence emphasises process and which emphasises result
Sentence (a) emphasises process and sentence (b) emphasises result.
Now look for more sentences with the past continuous passive in the reading passage, and summarise its uses in your own words.
1) More and more customers were being attracted by chain stores and online discounts.
2) In one area, a book reading was being delivered.
3) ..., where customers’ comments on the month’s best-seller were being displayed.

Activity 3: Read the sentences and summarise the four sentence structures with past continuous passive.
1 Another bridge was being built over the Yangtze River then.
2 The plan was not being carried out well.
3 Was a new library being put up in their school just then
4 What was being done to the machine
1 肯定句：主语+was/were +being+及物动词的过去分词
（+by+动作的执行者）
2 否定句：主语+was/were+not+being +及物动词的过去分词
（+by+动作的执行者）
3 一般疑问句：Was/Were+主语+being+及物动词的过去分词
（+by+动作的执行者）？
4 特殊疑问句：疑问词+was/were+主语+being+及物动词的过去分词（+by+动作的执行者）？
【用法】
1 表示过去某时刻或某阶段正在进行或发生的被动动作。
He hurried home, never once looking back to see if he was being followed.
2 表示一种习惯的被动行为，常与always、constantly、often等词连用，具有赞赏、羡慕、讨厌等感彩。
I felt very surprised that the window of our classroom was often being broken.
3 过去进行时的被动语态强调动作在过去某时刻正在被进行或持续,而一般过去时的被动语态表示动作的完成。
—Mike, did you see Mr. Brown in the office just now
—Yes, he was being interviewed, and he looked a little bit nervous.
【注意】
因为过去进行时的被动语态表示过去正在进行的被动动作，所以一般不与表示一段时间的状语或者表示次数的状语连用。与表示一段时间或表示次数的状语连用时，要使用完成时的被动语态。
例如：The campus over there has been built for three years.
（那边的校园已经建了三年了。）
The car has been repaired twice.
（这辆车已经被维修过两次了。

To get the main idea of the passage, draw up the structure, summarize useful expressions and language features of writing about a change, then write about a change
To describe the changes of learning
目标一: To get the main idea of the passage, draw up the structure, summarize useful expressions and language features of writing about a change, then write about a change
Activity 1: Read the title and look at the picture, then predict what the passage is about.
This passage mainly tells us that phone boxes where Superman used to get changed in the films are hard to find now
Activity 2: Read the passage and answer the questions.
I was watching a superhero film the other day and a thought occurred to me: where does Superman get changed these days In the comics and earlier films, Clark Kent would pop into a phone box to change into his Superman costume. But these days, phone boxes are hard to find. The main reason for this is simply that we don't need them anymore. Almost everyone these days carries a mobile phone with them. It is certainly more convenient to take out a mobile and make a call at the touch of a button than to press a series of long numbers on a telephone.
And anyone who happens to leave their mobile phone at home will still have no use for a phone box. Why Because they are unlikely to remember the number they want to call -that’s something that our mobile phones do for us these days. And even if we could remember a number and needed to call it urgently, it would still be more convenient to borrow a mobile phone from someone else than walk around looking for a phone box. So, the phone box is becoming a thing of the past. Poor Clark Kent will have to find somewhere else to change!
1 Why does the author start the passage by writing about Superman
The author starts by writing about Superman in order to form an instant connection with readers, as everyone is familiar with Superman. It also sets the tone of the passage by introducing some light-hearted humour.
2 What will disappear in the future according to the passage
What is the major reason for this phenomenon
Phone boxes will disappear in the future.
The major reason is that almost everyone has a mobile phone and they don’t need phone boxes any more.
3 What supporting arguments does the author give to make the point convincing
The supporting arguments are as follows:
1) Phone boxes are difficult to find.
2) It is convenient to take out a mobile and make a call at the touch of a button than to press a series of long numbers.
Activity 3: Read the passage again, draw up the structure of it.

Conclusion
Activity 4: Find out some useful expressions that can be used in writing about a change in the passage.
1. These days, ... are hard to find.
2. The main reason for this is that ...
3. It is certainly more convenient to do ... than (to) do ...
4. They are unlikely to do ...
5. So, ... is becoming a thing of the past.
Activity 5: Read and summarize the language feature of the passage.
1 What are the possible functions of the title
2 What tenses are used in writing about a change
3 What is the language feature of writing about a change, especially giving reasons and supporting arguments
Predicting the main idea and catching readers’ interest.
Simple present tense and future tense.
Objective and simple language is used. The writer can give some facts, to make the point convincing. Sometimes, the writer can use a humorous lead-in to catch readers’ interest.
Activity 6: Think about something that might disappear in the future and complete the table.
Something that will not be around in the future
Reasons
Supporting arguments
keys
The main reason for this is simply that we don’t need them anymore.
Firstly, many of us today would rather fingerprint the door than use the key.Secondly, it is more convenient to open the door with a password than with a key.
Now write your passage.
Activity 6: Work in pairs. Make improvements to each other’s passages and share them with the class.
Sample:
The Electric Fan: a Thing of the Past
The days of keeping cool with electric fans are numbered. In recent years there has been a significant decrease in their use, and their obvious shortcomings compared to air conditioners make their complete disappearance in the near future possible.
Firstly, electric fans are far less effective in cooling a room. While the breeze they produce can feel pleasant, it does not lower the overall temperature. Not only do air conditioners achieve this, but their settings can be adjusted so that they can reach a specific, ideal temperature. Secondly, electric fans are often less efficient at the use of space, as they usually need to be placed on either the floor or a table; in contrast, air conditioners are usually hung walls. But what do you think—will the electric fan soon be a thing of the past
目标二: To describe the changes of learning
Activity 1: Work in groups. Look at the pictures and answer the questions.
1 What can you see in the picture
2 What changes in our ways of learning do the pictures show

2 useful words, expressions and structures
Give your presentation to the class.
Sample:
Today, I’d like to introduce the change in our ways of learning. In the past, we sat in the classroom and listened to the teacher while looking at the blackboard. Then we had a white board, and the teacher wrote on it with a pen. But now, some students around the country have already been using the iPads while teachers using screens. More recently, students have been learning online because of the virus. And they do their homework on their phones and send their homework to their teachers through Wechat or other Apps.

Task 2: Read the passage and answer the questions.
1 Where does the word “emoji” come from and what are “emojis”
2 How are emojis developed
The word “emoji” comes from Japanese, literally meaning “picture character”.
Emojis are small symbols representing ideas, emotions or feelings. They come in different categories, such as faces and people, plants and animals, and food and drink.
In 1999, there were only 176 simple designs. Now, there are more than 3000 emojis that expand upon the way in which we communicate.
3 Why have emojis become more and more popular
They add emotional meaning, and are quick and easy to use.
Emojis can help people express their feelings when they cannot find the appropriate words.
Activity 5: Think & Share.
1 Do you think the Shakespeare series with emojis is an effective way to encourage young readers to read the classics Give your reasons.
I don’t think so. Just as many people say, these new versions of Shakespeare series have taken away the heart and soul of the classic plays.
2 What do you think about the way people use emojis
Emojis occasionally used in daily conversation are really vivid and interesting in conveying our feelings. But if we only use emojis to communicate, it sometimes may be very hard for us to understand and it is also a waste of time spending so much time finding proper emojis to express one’s feelings.
3 What lifestyle changes does each reading passage in this unit focus on What is the common message conveyed in both passage
a. The first reading passage focuses on the changes in the way we read. The second reading passage focuses on the changes in the way we communicate.
b. The development of technology promotes the change of lifestyle.
Activity 6: Work in groups. Give a talk about the sentence from the passage.
Perhaps people will one day choose to communicate in pictures, and forget how to write properly.
1 Read the sentence and decide whether you agree or disagree.
2 Provide three reasons to support your ideas and give evidence for each reason. Make notes.
Reasons Evidence
Learning to learn
When you give your opinion, your argument will be stronger if it is supported by evidence. Evidence can come from primary sources, such as original documents and interviews, or secondary sources, such as books and magazines.
3 Give your talk to the class.
Now think about what you have learnt from the opinions of your classmates.
Have they helped to change your opinion in any way
目标二: To use the key language points from the passage correctly
Activity 1: Find the important words, phrases, and language points you want to share with your partner.
Then discuss in groups and share their usage with the class.
1 With the rapid development of social media, emojis are becoming an integral component of the language we use to express ourselves.
随着社交媒体的飞速发展，表情符号正在成为我们用于表达自我的语言不可或缺的一部分。
【句型分析】本句中with...作伴随状语，we use是省略了that引导的定语从句。句中“integral”译为“不可缺少的”，“component”译为“组成部分”
E.g Music is an integral component of the school curriculum.
2 现在分词短语作伴随状语
【教材原文】The word “emoji” comes from Japanese, literally meaning “picture character”.
Paraphrase: The word “emoji” develops from a Japanese word, and it means “picture character”.
【句型分析】literally meaning “picture character”是现在分词短语作伴随状语，它所表达的动作或状态是伴随着句子谓语动词的动作而发生或存在的。
例如：Students went away，running and laughing.
（学生们离开了，他们边跑边笑。）
The boy sat in front of the farmhouse, cutting the branch.
（男孩坐在农舍前，砍着树枝。）
3 过去分词短语作状语
【教材原文】When first introduced in Japan in 1999, emojis were limited to 176 simple designs.
1999年，表情符号首次在日本推出，当时只有176个简单的图案。
【句型分析】过去分词作状语在功能上相当于状语从句，在句中表示时间、原因、条件、方式、伴随、让步等。所以经常会遇到过去分词前带有once，when，while，if，as if，even if，though，unless等连词，我们将这种结构看成在连词与过去分词之间省略了与主句相同的主语和系动词be。例如：Once published, this book will be popular with the students.=Once it is published, this book will be popular with the students.
本句中短语“be limited to”译为“限于”
3 due to 因为，由于；表原因；for the first time 第一次
【教材原文】Due to their popularity, the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year in 2015 was, for the first time ever, a pictograph instead of a traditional word.
由于表情符号的风靡，牛津词典2015年的年度词汇是，这是图画文字
首次替代了传统意义上的单词。
4 have advantages over 有胜过......的优势
It seems that emojis have clear advantages over written language.
表情符号似乎比书面语言更具明显优势。
【句型分析】It作形式主语，that从句作真正的主语。
5 with sth done结构在句中作状语
【教材原文】With a smiling or sad face added to a message or post, your reader can “see” your facial expression while reading your words.
Paraphrase: When you use a smiling or sad face in a message or post, your reader can “see” your facial expression while they are reading your words.
【句型分析】with sth done结构，本结构在句中作状语，a smiling or sad face与add 之间是被动的关系，所以add用过去分词形式。
例如：With the homework finished, she went shopping.
（完成家庭作业后，她去购物了。）
“with+宾语+补语”复合结构的其他用法，比如这样的结构可以用作定语。
例如：The man with his arms crossed is our maths teacher.
（位双臂交叉的男士是我们的数学老师。）
6 For instance 例如；a string of 一串
【教材原文】For instance, if your friend is moving across the country, you may just send them a string of crying faces to express your sadness over your separation.
举个例子，假如你的朋友将要搬去另一个国家，你可以发给他们一串哭脸，来表达自己对于你们将要分离的忧伤之情。
【句型分析】本句为if引导的条件状语从句，句末to express your sadness over your separation为不定式作目的状语
7 动词不定式短语作表语
The intention of these adaptations is to make the classics more accessible to young readers.
这些改写的目的是使经典著作更容易被年轻读者接受。
【句型分析】句中to make...to young readers为动词不定式短语作表语，句中“intention”译为“意图；目的”，
“adaptation”译为“改编”，“be accessible to sb/sth”译为“易于接近”
8 have a tendency to... 有......的趋势；
pop up 突然出现
【教材原文】As we can see, emojis have a tendency to pop up all over the place.
正如我们所见，表情符号的趋势是变得越来越随处可见。
9 现在分词短语作方式状语
【教材原文】But this makes others, especially educators, worry that we are losing the ability to communicate properly using the written word, or even the spoken word.
但是这使得一些人，尤其是教育工作者，担心我们正在失去使用书面语甚至口语来正确沟通的能力。
【句型分析】that 引导宾语从句；动词不定式短语to communicate properly作定语，修饰 the ability；现在分词短语 using the written word, or even the spoken word作方式状语。
Activity 2: Complete the summary with the correct words or the correct forms of the words in the bracket according to the passage.
The word “emoji” comes from Japanese, literally 1___________ (mean) “ picture character”. Emojis are small symbols representing ideas, emotions or feelings. They come in 2___________ (differ) categories, such as faces and people, plants and animals, and food and drink.
