Chinese Traditional Festival
Being a great o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld country with a long history, China has varied festivals. Whether in solar or in lunar, Chinese seems to have festivals frequently.
By far, the most ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )important holiday in China is the Spring festival, which is as important as Christmas to the West. For children, Spring festival means delicious foods, lucky money and new clothes; for adults, it means relaxation; for a family, it means reunion; and for the country, it means good rest and peace. The whole society is rapturous. People in new clothes get together, setting off fire cracks which are used to drive away the evil luck. Songs come from television, smiles appeared on everyone’s face, all things make up a happy atmosphere.
The Mid-autumn festi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )val is another important member of Chinese traditional festivals. It’s on lunar August 15th,in which evening the moon is fullest and brightest, and in which day relatives and friends send each other moon cakes, wish each other good luck and then have a big dinner together, enjoying the full moon and chatting with each other. The Mid-autumn festival, as well as Spring festival, symbolizes reunion.
China has many o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ther festivals, such as The lantern festival which comes 15 days later than Spring festival ,and which is always the official end of the Spring festival in many parts of the country, the dragon boat festival, the double ninth festival and many festivals in solar, such as New year’s day, Tomb-sweeping day.
Playing an importan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t part in Chinese culture, traditional festival can also help the works of economy and politics. Firstly, festivals make people’s culture life rich and varied, especially enlarge people’s see sight. Secondly, traditional festival curdles the race. According to celebration, native and abroad people know more about Chinese culture. Thirdly, the thriving of Chinese culture must promote the development of economy.
In one word, Chinese ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) traditional festival is the sign of China’s thriving. With Chinese traditional spirits spread well and widely, China is becoming stronger and stronger day by day.

Sample:
The introduction of the Spring Festival
As we all kn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ow, the Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in China. But there is few people know the story of the Spring Festival. Now, let's tell you a legend about it.
According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to a Chinese legend, a monster called Nian would torment people once a year during the winter. The people gathered to discuss how to deal with Nian. Some people suggested that the monster was afraid of the color red, and of flames and loud noise .So they put red couplets on their gates, set off firecrackers and beat gongs, and drums to drive Nian away. Their idea worked and Nian fled. Thus, the customs of celebrating the Spring Festival were born and pass down.
The Spring Fe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stival ,also known as the Lunar New Year, which takes place in late January or early February. The historical reason for beginning the year during cold weather is that it is a time between the "autumn harvest" and "winter storage" and "spring plowing" and "summer weeding". In other words this is the time for rest and relaxation after a year's toil and for celebration as well.
Maybe you woul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d ask people how to contribute the Spring Festival in China I think I can introduce it to you. On the New Year Eve, people will clean their house and decorate it carefully. Then they put red couplets on their gates to drive the bad luck away. In the evening all the members of family get together to have a wonderful dinner. Dumpling is the most important food among this meal. The first day of the Spring Festival is coming. People wear their new clothes; go out their home to greet to each other. Wherever you go you can hear "Gong xi fa cai" and some wishes here and there. It’s an interesting that children get some red pockets (Hong Bao) from adults.
In r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ecent years, the Spring Festival has became a public holiday. People usually have several free days for attending family dinners, traveling, going to the movies or concert or just watching television.

1. Presentation
Purpose: To get the Ss to know the teaching content of Grammar
Show the followi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng contents on blackboard or PowerPoint --- the passive voice.
被动语态考查要点简述
被动语态的构成方式：be + 过去 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )分词，口语只也有用get / become +过去分词表示。被动语态的基本用法：不知道或没必要提到动作的执行者是谁时用被动语态。强调或突出动作的承受者常用被动语态（by短语有时可以省略）。
（1）使用被动语态时应注意的几个问题。
①主动变化被动时双宾语的变化。看下列例句。
My friend gave me an interesting book on my birthday.
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.
②主动变被动时，宾补成主补（位置不变）；（作补语的）不定式前需加to。
The boss made him work all day long.
He was made to work all day long(by the boss)
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).
Your pronunciation and spelling should be paid attention to.
④情态动词和be going to、b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e to、be sure to、used to、have to、had better等结构变被动语态，只需将它们后面的动词原形变为be +过去分词。
⑤当句子的谓语为say、believ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e、expect、think、know、write、consider、report等时，被动语态有两种形式：（A）谓语动词用被动语态，动词不定式作主补。（B）用it作形式主语，真正的主语在后面用主语在后面用主语从句来表示。如：
People say he is a smart boy.
It is said that he is a smart boy.
He is said to be a smart boy.
People know paper was made in China first.
It is known that paper was made in China first.
Paper was known to be made in China first.
类似句型有：It is sai ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d / known / suggested / believed / hoped/ thought that …
（2）不能用被动语态的几种情况。
①所有的不及物动词或不及物动词词组不能用于被动语态之中。
②表示状态的谓语动词，如：l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ast、hold、benefit、contain、equal、fit、join、mean、last、look like、consist to等。
③表示归属的动词，如have、own、belong to等。
④表示“希望、意图”的动词，如：wish、want、hope、like、love、hate等。
⑤宾语是反身代词或相互代词时谓语动词用主动语态，不能用被动语态。
⑥宾语是同源宾语，不定式、动名词等谓语动词不用被动语态。
⑦有些动词以其主动形式表示被动意义，特别是当主语是物时，常见的动词有sell、write、wash、open、lock等。
（3）主动形式表被动意义。
①当feel、look、smell、tas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )te、sound等后面接形容词时；当cut、read、sell、wear、write等词带状语修饰语时；当动词表示“开始、结束、关、停、转、启动”等意义时。
This kind of cloth washes easily.这种布易洗。
These novels won’t sell well.这些小说不畅销。
My pen writes smoothly.我的钢笔写起来很流畅。
The door won’t lock.门锁不上。
The fish smells good.鱼闻起来香。
②当break out、take place、shut off、turn off、work out等动词表示“发生、关闭、制定”等意思时。
The plan worked out successfully.
The lamps on the wall turn off.
③want, require, need后面的动名词用主动表示被动含义。
④be worth doing用主动形式表示被动含义。
⑤在“be + 形容词 + to do”中，不定式的逻辑宾语是句子的主语，用主动代被动。
This kind of water isn’t fit to drink.
The girl isn’t easy to get along with.
另外：be to blame(受谴责)，be to rent（出租）也用主动形式表被动。
（4）被动形式表示主动意义的几种情况。
①be seated坐着
He is seated on a bench.（He seats himself on a bench.）坐在凳子上。
②be hidden躲藏
He was hidden behind the door.(He hid himself behind the door.)他藏在门后。
③be lost迷路
④be drunk喝醉
⑤be dressed穿着
The girl was dressed in a red short skirt.
（5）被动语态与系表结构的区别
被动语态强调动作；系表结构表主语的特点或状态。如：
The book was sold by a certain bookstore.(被动语态)
The book is well sold.(系表结构)
动词的语态一般不单独考，而是和时态、语气和非谓语动词一起考，只是需要注意以下考点。
考点一：不能用于被动语态的动词和词组
come true, consist of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), take place, happen, become, rise, occur, belong, break out, appear, arrive, die, fall, last, exist, fail, succeed
It took place before liberation.
考点二：下列动词的主动语态表示被动意义, 而且常与well, quite, easily, badly等副词连用。
lock ( 锁 ) ; wash ( ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )洗 ); sell ( 卖 ); read ( 读 ); wear ( 穿 ); blame (责备)；ride (乘坐)； write ( 写 )；
Glass breaks easily. 玻璃容易破碎。
The car rides smoothly. 这车走起来很稳。
The case locks easily. 这箱子很好锁。
The book sells well. 这本书很畅销。
考点三：一些常用经典被动句型：
It is said…, I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t is reported…, It is widely believed…， It is expected…, It is estimated…,这些句子一般翻译为“据说……”，“人们认为……”，而 “以前人们认为……” 则应该说：It was believed…, It was thought…
2. Examples
(1)（粤04-21 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )）All the employees except the manager _____to work online at home.
A. encourages B. encourage
C. is encouraged D. are encouraged
解析：答案为D。据题意应用被动语态，故选D。
(2)（沪04-30）T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he number of deaths from heart disease will be reduced greatly if people _____to eat more fruit and vegetables.
A. persuade B. will persuade
C. be persuaded D. are persuaded

(3)（京04-27)The mayor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of Beijing says that all construction work for the Beijing Olympics _____by 2008.
A. has been completed B. has completed
C. will have been completed D. will have completed
解析：答案为C。此句要注意时态和语态的结合。
(4)（苏04-26）More patients _____in hospital this year than last year.
A. treated B. have treated
C. had been treated D. have been treated
解析：答案为D。此句要注意时态和语态的结合。
