1. Aaron Carter isn't like other 12-year-olds. He doesn't go to school, and he's already got a job. He is a big pop star. A few years ago he started his singing with Crazy Little Party Girl, which became a hit at once. Now he goes around the world and his songs are in the tops.
Because he's travelling around all the time, Aaron doesn't have to go to school, but don't envy him too much—he still has to do lessons and homework. And he is good at learning.
"I have to fit my schoolwork around my singing," he explains. "But I'm lucky because I have a private tutor who travels with me. I sometimes have to have lessons on a plane. That's really interesting!"
Aaron's favourite subject is maths but he hates history. He knows clearly that having a good singing career doesn't mean he can go without schoolwork.
"It would be easy to think that I don't need to do well in exams, but that would be crazy," he says. "It's important to get my qualifications(资格) so that I have something to fall back on. Besides, it's interesting to learn about other people and cultures."Unit

Grammar
过去分词作表语和状语
过去分词作表语
1.
过去分词放在系动词be,?get,?feel,?remain,?seem,?become等后作表语,?多为及物动词变化而来的，有被动意味，表示主语所处的状态。
He?became?annoyed?with?the?students.?他非常生学生的气。
Are?you?married?or?single??你是已婚还是单身？??
He?seems?well?qualified?for?the?job.?他好像非常胜任这个工作。??
2.?少数不及物动词的过去分词也可以作表语，只有完成的意思，也说明主语所处的状态。
Gone?are?the?days
(=The?days?are?gone)
when?my?heart?was?young?and?gay.??????
我的心又年轻又愉快的日子一去不复返了。
The?sun?is?set.?Let’s?go?home.?太阳落山了，我们回家吧。???
3.?过去分词作表语与被动语态的区别：
过去分词作表语表示状态，而被动语态表示被动的动作。
The?cup?is?broken.?那个茶杯打碎了。（指茶杯现在的状态，系表结构）
The?cup?was?broken?by?Tom?when?he?took?it?to?the?living?room.（指过去动作，被动语态）
那个是汤姆打碎的，当时他正把它拿到客厅去。????
4.?与感觉有关的动词的现在分词和过去分词的区别：
与感觉有关的及物动词的意思都是“使（某人）......”，其现在分词表示主动意义，即“令人有某种感觉的”；过去分词表示被动意义，即“人被引起某种感觉的”，指人“内在的感觉”。如：
interest?意思是“使（某人）感兴趣”；
interesting?意思为“令人感兴趣的，有趣的”，表示事物的性质；
interested?表示“感兴趣的”，表示人内心的感觉。??????
区别：
His?novels?will?interest?everyone?who?reads?them.?(interest?动词，使......感兴趣)?
他的小说会使每位读者感兴趣。
His?novels?are?interesting.?(interesting?现在分词，有主动意义，指主语的性质)?
他的小说很有趣。
Everyone?will?be?interested?in?his?novels.?(interested?过去分词，有被动意义，指人的感觉)?
每个人都会对他的小说感兴趣。
过去分词(短语）作状语
过去分词作状语时的具体用法：
1)?过去分词作时间状语时，相当于一个时间状语从句。有时过去分词前可加连词when或while来强调时间概念.?????
例：
Asked?(When?he?was?asked)?what?had?happened,?his?face?turned?red.?
当他被问及发生了什么的时候，他的脸红了。
When?heated?(When?it?is?heated),?water?changes?into?steam.?
当加热时，水变成水蒸气。????
Told?that?his?mother?was?ill
(When?he?was?told?that?his?mother?was?ill),?Li?Lei?hurried?home?quickly.?
李蕾得知母亲生病了时，马上赶回了家。
Seen?from?the?moon
(When?it?is?seen?from?the?moon),?the?earth?looks?green.?
从月亮上看时，地球是绿色。
2)?过去分词作原因状语时，相当于一个由as,?since,?because等词引导的原因状语从句。???
例：
Deeply?(Because?they?were)?moved?by?the?movie,?the?children?began?to?cry.??
由于被电影深深地感动，孩子们哭了起来。
Frightened?(Because?she?was?frightened)?by?the?horror?movie,?the?girl?didn't?dare?to?sleep?alone.?
因为被惊悚电影吓坏了，这个女孩不敢单独睡觉。
Caught?in?a?heavy?rain,
(Because?he?was?caught?in?a...),?he?was?all?wet.
他淋了一场大雨，全身都湿透了。?
Satisfied?with?what?he?did?(Because?the?teacher?was?satisfied?with...),?the?teacher?praised?him?in?class.?
由于老师对他所做的事情很满意，于是在班上表扬了他。??
3)?过去分词作条件状语时，通常放在句子的前面，相当于if,?unless等引导的条件状语从句。
例：
Compared?with?you?(If?we?are?compared),?we?still?have?a?long?way?to?go.??
和你们比起来，我们还有很长的一段路要走。
Grown?(If?these?seeds?are?grown)?in?rich?soil,?these?seeds?can?grow?fast.?
如果种在肥沃的土壤里，这些种子能长得很快。
Given?more?time?(If?we?were?given?more?time),?we?would?be?able?to?do?the?work?much?better.?
如果给我们更多的时间，我们就能把工作做得更好。
Given?a?few?minutes?(If?I?am?given?a?few?minutes),?I’ll?finish?it.?
再给几分钟的时间，我就会完成了。
4)?过去分词作让步状语时，相当于一个以though/although引导的让步状语从句，这类分词或分词短语一般放在句子前面。
例：
Left?(Although?he?was?left)?at?home,?John?didn't?feel?afraid?at?all.?
虽然John被单独留在房间里,?他一点都不害怕。????
Invited?by?him?(Though?I?was?invited?by?them),?I?won’t?take?part?in?the?party.?
即使被邀请，我也不会参加聚会的。
Explained?a?hundred?times?(Although?he?was?explained...),?he?still?can’t?understand?it.?
即使给他解释一百遍，她还是不会明白。
Trained?ten?hours?a?day?(Though?he?was?trained...),?he?will?still?be?a?fool.?
即使每天训练十个小时，他也还会是个傻瓜。
5)?过去分词作方式状语或伴随状语时不用状语从句替换，但可以改写成并列句。????
例：
She?walked?out?of?the?house,?(and?she?was)?followed?by?her?little?daughter.??
她走出房子，后面跟着她小女儿。
(She?was)?Dressed?in?white,?(and)?she?looked?really?pretty.??

祈使句
（1）祈使句表请求、命令、叮嘱、劝告等，以动词原形形式出现。祈使句的主语you，通常省略。有时加呼语，以便指明发出命令。

heat
down
or

burn.（=If
you
don't
turn
the
heat
down，it'll
burn.）

teacher
said

“make+宾语+宾语补足语”结构

make
us

and
healthy.

注意：
（1）该结构中不用现在分词充当宾语补足语。
（2）表示职务名词，如manager，monitor，captain，president等充当宾语补足语时，其前面不要加冠词。
（3）有时形容词做宾语补足语时，可用it作形式宾语，构成“make
+
it+形容词
（possible/clear）+真正宾语（不定式/hat从句）”结构。
Ta
like
to
make
it
clear
that
I
had
nothing
to
do
with
this.

（4）此结构变被动语态时，宾语补足语就变成主语补足语，不定式前必须加to，其他宾语补足语形式不变。

his
homework
again
by
his
mother.
