◆ Reading Club 2 The Un-Birthday Gift
Introduction
adaptation from Chapter 6: Humpty Dumpty, Through the Looking-Glass
a version of original story that has been rewritten to be easier or to use different languages
Lewis Carroll
He was born in 1832 in England and died in 1898.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Through the Looking-Glass
a mathematician and photographer
General Understanding
Read the text and answer the following questions.
Who do you think Lewis Carroll wrote the story for
1
I think Lewis Carroll wrote the story for children as it is set in a magical and unusual world. The author is very creative and humorous in his wring which appeals to young people.
I think Lewis Carroll wrote this for people of all ages. It is a fun and engaging story. I think adults can appreciate the author's work as much as children.
Why was Humpty Dumpty offended when Alice said, “What a beautiful belt you’ve got on!”
2
Humpty Dumpty was offended because he thought Alice was making fun of his body that she couldn’t tell where the neck was and where the body was.
Were Alice and Humpty Dumpty good friends How do you know that
3
They could be good friends. Three reasons:
1. Humpty Dumpty didn’t say anything though he was offended; 2. They can share their feelings;
3. They could share such funny things like un-birthday.
Critical Thinking
What are some examples of literary nonsense in the text Underline the sentences. Why did Lewis Carroll create them
4
“… shows that there are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents.”
“Un-birthday” is not a word but “un” is used to change many English words so here is placed before birthday to show a day when it is not your birthday. This is humorous for children.

That day was awesome. It was Grandpa's 70th birthday. The whole family had been preparing for it for quite some time.
Early in the morning, I woke up excited. First I got dressed quickly. Then I headed downstairs to help. Mum was already in the kitchen preparing Grandpa's special birthday lunch. Dad was nowhere to be seen. After a quick breakfast, I checked the special gift I had made for Grandpa, a video of his life story — for the last time. For weeks I had been working on this, listening to Grandpa's stories, selecting his favourite music and collecting photos from the family album.
Just before lunchtime, Dad came in with some guests. Surprisingly, they were Grandpa's best friends from secondary school, all in their seventies. Grandpa couldn't believe his eyes and it took quite a long time for them to calm down. As soon as the guests took their seats, Grandpa's favourite music began to fill the room with memories of the old days. With each old photo, the guests saw how Grandpa grew from a handsome boy to a kind old gentleman. The best part came when Grandpa and his friends appeared in an old photo in their school uniforms.There was a lot of laughter in the room, and quite a few tears in their eyes,
Towards the end of the party, Grandpa said excitedly, "it is a wonderful birthday celebration and I've got the best gift I have ever received. Now I am looking forward to my eightieth, ninetieth and even one hundredth birthdays already!"
1. Whose birthday was it

被动语态
被动语态的基本用法：不知道或没有必要指明动作的执行者是谁时用被动语态；需要强调或突出动作的承受者或事件本身时也常用被动语态(by短语有时可以省略)。
被动语态与时态结合，形成各种时态下的被动语态。
时态 现在时 过去时 将来时 过去将来时
一般式 am/is/are done was/were done will/shall be done would/should
be done
进行式 am/is/are being done was/were being done
完成式 have/has been done had been done will/shall have been done would/
should have
been done
1.使用被动语态时应注意的几个问题
(1)主动变为被动时双宾语的变化。
My friend gave me an interesting book on my birthday.
我的朋友在我生日那天给了我一本有趣的书。
→An interesting book was given to me (by my friend) on my birthday.→I was given an interesting book (by my friend) on my birthday.

(3)短语动词变被动语态时,勿要掉“尾巴”。
The children were taken good care of (by her).孩子们被她照顾得很好。
Your pronunciation and spelling should be paid attention to.
你的发音和拼写应该注意。
(4)情态动词,be going to,be to,be sure to,have to等结构变为被动语态时,只需将它们后面的动词原形变为“be+过去分词”。
We can repair this watch in two days.我们可以在两天内把这块表修好。
→This watch can be repaired in two days.这只表两天就能修好。
(5)当句子的谓语为say,believe,expect,think,know,write,consider,report等时,被动语态有两种形式:①谓语动词用被动语态,动词不定式作主语补足语。②用it作形式主语,真正的主语在后面用主语从句来表示。
People say he is a smart boy.人们说他是个聪明的男孩。
→He is said to be a smart boy.据说他是个聪明的男孩。
→It is said that he is a smart boy.据说他是个聪明的男孩。
【温馨提示】类似句型有:
It is said/known/suggested/believed/hoped/thought that...
2.不能用被动语态的几种情况
(1)表示状态的谓语动词,如:last,hold,contain,fit,cost等。
(2)表示归属的动词或短语,如have,own,belong to等。
(3)表示“希望、意图、喜好”的动词,如:wish,want,hope,like,love,hate等。

(5)宾语是同源宾语、动词不定式、动词的-ing形式等,谓语动词不用被动语态。
3.主动形式表示被动意义
(1)当连系动词feel,look,smell,taste,sound等后面接形容词时;当cut,read,sell,wear,write,wash等作为不及物动词表示主语内在“品质”或“性能”时;当动词表示“开始,结束,关,停,转,启动”等时。
