语法：本单元的语法项目是被动语态复习和by + doing 表示方式/手段。
被动语态：英语动词的语态有两种：主动语态和被动语态。主动语态表示主语是动作的执 行者，被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者。 1、被动语态各时态的形式是由助动词be的各时态的形式加及物动词的过去分词构成。
2、被动语态八种时态的用法例句:被动语态常用的八种时态的基本用法和主动语态各时态 的基本用法相同，只是句中的主语不是动作的执行者，而是动作的承受者，如: (1)一般现在时：Now English is taught in all middle schools in our country. (2)一般过去时：The Great Hall of the People was built in 1959.
(3)一般将来时：When will the work be finished?
(4)过去将来时：He told us that the work would be finished the next day. (5)现在进行时：Your tractor is being repaired now.
(6)过去进行时：The child was being examined by the doctor when they came in. (7)现在完成时：The work hasn’t been finished yet.
(8)过去完成时：The new plan had been carried out before the second experiment began.
3、在下列情况下，一般使用被动语态：
（1）当不知道动作执行者是谁或没有必要提到动作执行者时，如：Paper was first made in China. （ 2 ） 当强调或突出动作承受者的作用时， 如： The new machine was invented by a 20-year-old young worker.
4、由主动语态转换为被动语态的注意：
（1）如果主动语态动词后又有直接宾语，又有间接宾语，一般是将间接宾语改为被动语 态句中的主语，将直接宾语保留在原处。如将直接宾语改为被动语态句中的主语，将间接 宾语保留在原处时，一般要在间接宾语前加介词to或 for，如：
Grandma told me an interesting story last night.
→Ｉwas told an interesting story last night./ An interesting story was told to me last night.
（2）主动语态中的宾语加带有宾语补足语时，改为被动语态时，就将宾语改为主语，将
宾补保留在原处，而成为被动语态句中主语的补足语了。 宾补可以有下列几种情况：
①宾补为动词不定式，如：They asked her to sing a song. →She was asked to sing a song. 在动词make, see, hear, watch, notice等之后，不定式的to在主动语态里可要省 略，而被动语态里不能省，如：Tom was seen to come out of the lab.
②宾补为分词，如：They heard them singing at the time.→They were heard singing at that time.
③宾补为形容词、副词、名词或介词短语，如：She kept me busy all the morning. →I was kept busy all the morning.
（3）如果主动语态中的谓语动词为短语动词，改为被动语态时，要注意不要遗漏短语中 的介词或副词，以保持短语动词的完整性，如：
She always takes good care of the children. →The children are always taken
good care of.
（4）含有情态动词的动词改为被动语态时是将情态动词后面的动词原形改为被动语态， 因其前有情态动词，所以构成被动语态的助动词be就要使用原形，如：
They must finish the work before Friday. →The work must be finished before Friday.
（5）be going to, be to, used to, have to和had better等结构，其作用相当于情态动词 或助动词，在改为被动语态时，只需将后面的动词原形改为被动语态即可，如：
They are not going to put off the football match. →The football match is not going to be put off.

Archimedes(阿基米德) is considered one of the three greatest mathematicians of all time along with Newton and Gauss. In his own time, he was known as “the wise one”. He was one of the last great Greek mathematicians. Except for his studies at Euclid’s school, he spent his entire life in his birthplace. Archimedes proved to be a master at mathematics and spent most of his time trying to solve any new problems. Sometimes he was so involved in his work that he forgot to eat. Lacking the blackboards and paper of modern times, he used any possible material to write on, from the dust on the ground to ashes from a fire that had burned out. He never gave up any opportunity to think carefully about his work.
Archimedes was a friend of Hiero, the king of Syracuse, and Gelon, Hiero’s son.
He liked to solve the king’s most difficult problems to the amazement of the king. At one time, the king ordered a gold crown(王冠) and gave the goldsmith the exact amount of metal to make it. When Hiero received it, the crown had the correct weight, but the king doubted that some silver had been used instead of the gold. Since he could not prove it, he brought the problem to Archimedes. One day while considering the question, “the wise one” entered his bathtub(浴缸) and recognized that the amount of water that overflowed( 溢 出 ) the tub was proportional the amount of his body that was submerged. This idea gave him the means to solve the problem. This observation is now known as Archimedes’ Principle. Archimedes’ another famous statement is “Give me a place to stand on and I will move the earth.”

What is green food? Do you enjoy green food every day? The concept of “green food” was first suggested by the Department of the Ministry of Agriculture in 1990.
Green symbolizes life, health and energy. Nowadays, people demand healthy and fresh food. Having enough food to eat is only a basic requirement, and they need more than this. They want to enjoy unpolluted, safe and nutritious(营养的) food and eat comfortably. So the government does this through a set of “from the land to the dinner table” quality controls. It requires to change China’s traditional agricultural structures and ensure the food of high quality.
Safe vegetables refers to products without substances( 物 质 ) harmful to humans. Growing such vegetables requires no strong poisons, thus guaranteeing vegetables fresh and clean. There are strict regulations in place for even applying
fertilizer( 肥 料 ). The examination of vegetables should reach the state food hygiene(卫生) standard. The following conditions for green food are regulated by the China Green Food Development Center. Firstly, products or raw materials must reach the green ecological environment standard set by the Ministry of Agriculture. Secondly, crop planting, livestock raising, fish breeding and food processing must follow green food operating procedures set by the Ministry. Products must be up to the green food hygiene standard. External packing must be pasted with national standard universal labels, special green food packing decoration and tag regulations.
However, by now, our goal hasn’t been completely realized. When you return home with a full basket, you are still worried about whether what you have bought is green and healthy. Indeed, for the sake of our health, we still have a long way to go.

Mr. and Mrs. Harris had always spent their summer holidays in a small hotel at the seaside near their hometown. One year, however, Mr. Harris made a lot of money in his business, so they decided to go to a foreign country and stay at a really good hotel.
They flew to Rome, and arrived at a 5-star hotel late in the evening. They thought that they would have to go to bed hungry, because in those small hotels they had been used to staying in the past, no meals were served after seven in the evening. They were surprised to be told that the hotel served dinner until ten.
“Then what are the times of meals?” asked Mrs. Harris.
“Well madam we serve breakfast from seven to eleven, lunch from twelve to three, tea from four to five, and dinner from six to ten.”
“But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the city!” said Mrs. Harris.
