        第二部分 TEXT
        I was being tested for a driving licence for the third time. I had been asked to drive in heavy traffic and had done so successfully. After having been instructed to drive out of town, I began to acquire confidence. Sure that I had passed, I was almost beginning to enjoy my test. The examiner must have been pleased with my performance, for he smiled and said,‘Just one more thing, Mr. Eames. Let us suppose that a child suddenly crosses the road in front of you. As soon as I tap on the window, you must stop within five feet.' I continued driving and after some time, the examiner tapped loudly. Though the sound could be heard clearly, it took me a long time to react. I suddenly pressed the brake pedal hard and we were both thrown forward. The examiner looked at me sadly.‘Mr. Eames,' he said, in a mournful voice,‘you have just killed that child!'
        参考译文
        我第3次接受驾驶执照考试。按照要求在车辆拥挤的路上驾驶，我圆满地完成了。在接到把车开出城的指令后，我开始有了信心。确信我已通过考试，所以我几乎开始喜欢起这次考试。主考人对我的驾驶想必是满意的，因为他微笑着说："埃姆斯先生，只剩1项了。让我们假设一个小孩子突然在你前面穿过马路。我一敲车窗，你必须把车停在5英尺之内。"我继续往前开着。过了一会儿，主考人砰砰地敲了起来。虽然声音听得很清楚，但我过了好一会儿才作出反应。我突然用力踩紧刹车踏板，结果我俩的身体都向前冲去。主考人伤心地看着我。"埃姆斯先生，"他以悲伤的声调说，"你刚刚把那个小孩压死了！"

        第四部分 KEY STRUCTURES AND USAGE
        被动语态（注意其时态）
        =>I was being tested for a driving licence for the third time.(被动语态的过去进行时)
        =>I had been asked to drive in heavy traffic ... （被动语态的过去完成时）
        =>Though the sound could be heard clearly...（被动语态的一般过去时，带情态v. could）
        =>I suddenly pressed the brake pedal hard and we were both thrown forward. （被动语态的一般过去时）
        被动语态还可以用于介词+动名词结构中
        1）介词（after, before, on）+动名词这个结构通常相当于一个时间状语从句。
        2）如果两个动作中有一个在另一个开始之前已经完成，则可以用 after+动名词的完成式表示第1个动作；如果只表示先后顺序，则可用after（或before）+动名词结构； on+动名词通常表示两个动作几乎同时发生：
        =>After having been instructed to drive out of town, I began to acquire confidence.
        =>The man called the police after being robbed.
        =>He killed a child before being arrested.
        =>On/After being told that her mother was seriously ill, she hurried back to England.
       
        被动语态用于 want后面的不定式中时，to be可以省略
        =>I want the luggage fetched from the hotel this afternoon.
