Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people,linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from acommon source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language : American English.Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.★ Text BComprehension Check: c c c d b dLanguage Practice1. g e d c b h f a2. 1) give way to 2) predict 3) substantial 4) integrate 5) in transition 6) aspect7) to name a few 8) authority 9) dominate 10) had contributed to 11) unique12) rid yourself ofUnit 8VocabularyI. 1) barking 2) evil 3) brooding, hatched 4) migrant 5) tragedies 6) counterpart7) are complaining/complain 8) grim 9) flocks, fed on 10) vegetation11) patches 12) Scores of2. 1) was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreign guests2) the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office3) wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed the crowded unnoticed.4) looked deserted 5) were stricken by it3. 1) patches, came into full bloom, were puzzled, mysterious2) throbbed with, sickened, migrant, a chorus 3) had crept into.

The passive voiceA passive construction occurs when you make the object of an action into the subject of a sentence. That is, whoever or whatever is performing the action is not the grammatical subject of the sentence.The Passive is formed: Passive Subject + To Be + Past Participle. If the agent is important (the person, company or thing that does the action) , use “by”. If it is not definite and does not carry any essential information, it can be omitted.※Only verbs that take an object can be used i n the passive voice.e. g. Houses are built.My bike was stolen.Practice:Complete the following sentences with the appropriate form of the verbs given. 1. People were surprised to find that an enormous hole ____________ (cut) in the steel door by the burglars.2. It’s high time that he _____________ (tell) to stop behaving like a child.3. As she _____________ (climb) the ladder, it slipped sideways and she fell off it.4. I know a new film _____________ (show) at the cinema these days.5. I know a new film _____________ (show) at the cinema in two days.6. I know a new film _____________ (show) at the cinema recently.Keys:1. had been cut2. was told (The past tense is used to show the hypothetical meaning.)3. was climbing (The active voice is used because the subject of the sentence is the one who performs the action.)4. are being shown (The present continuous tense is used because “these days” refers to a period of time in which an action is continuously being performed.)5. will be shown ( “In two days” refers to sometime in the future.)6. has been shown (The adverb “recently” is a marker of present perfect tense.)2. SubordinationSubordination (abbreviated variously SUBORD, SBRD, SUBR or SR) is a complex syntactic construction in which one or more clauses are dependent on the main clause.Dependent clauses are also called “subordinate clauses”.Subordinate clauses are introduced by a subordinating conjunction, such as, after, although, as much as, as long as, as soon as, because, before, if, in order that, lest, since, so that, than, that, though, unless, until, when, whenever, where, wherever, whether, and while, etc.. I don't know if George is awake yet.George overslept because his alarm clock was broken.Practice:Join the two sentences into one, using the words and phrases given.in order that unless as since when until1. You will hurry up. You will miss the bus.2. No one is against the proposal. We will adopt the proposal.3. The train had left. I reached the station.4. It was raining hard. We had to be indoors.5.

They were studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools in Nanjing.2. Their 18-month-old son Benjamin was fond of trying to place the key into the slot of the key box during their stay at the Jinling Hotel.3. They would come over to watch Benjamin and then try to teach him how to do it properly.4. Because he realized that this anecdote was directly relevant to their assigned tasks in China: to investigate early childhood education and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity.5. Most of them displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel.6. He emphasized that the most important thing is to teach the child that on can solve a problem effectively byoneself.7. He means that this incident pointed to important differences in educational and artistic practices between China and the USA.8. The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need to teach the child by guiding his hand in the characteristic of a broader attitude to education, one that stands in contrast to the Western preference for leaving the child to explore and learn unaided.9. One example is of children at the age of 5 or 6 painting flowers, fish and animals skillfully and confidently; in a second example, calligraphers 9 and 10 years old were producing works; and in a third, young artists work on perfecting their craft for several hours a day.10. Americans think that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge, and skills can be picked up later. Chinese think that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired, and there is no hurry to promote creativity.11. This is mainly due to the difference in their way of thinking.12. The author makes the suggestion that we shouldstrike a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills.Text OrganizationWorking On Your Own1.1) The text begins with an anecdote.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in the form of a question.2.

Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result.

Most of them displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel.6. He emphasized that the most important thing is to teach the child that on can solve a problem effectively by oneself.7. He means that this incident pointed to important differences in educational and artistic practices between China and the USA.8. The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need to teach the child by guiding his hand in the characteristic of a broader attitude to education, one that stands in contrast to the Western preference for leaving the child to explore and learn unaided.9.

The passive voiceA passive construction occurs when you make the object of an action into the subject of a sentence. That is, whoever or whatever is performing the action is not the grammatical subject of the sentence.The Passive is formed: Passive Subject + To Be + Past Participle. If the agent is important (the person, company or thing that does the action) , use “by”. If it is not definite and does not carry any essential information, it can be omitted.※Only verbs that take an object can be used in the passive voice.e. g. Houses are built.My bike was stolen.Practice:Complete the following sentences with the appropriate form of the verbs given.1. People were surprised to find that an enormous hole ____________ (cut) in the steel door by the burglars.2. It’s high time that he _____________ (tell) to stop behaving like a child.3. As she _____________ (climb) the ladder, it slipped sideways and she fell off it.4. I know a new film _____________ (show) at the cinema these days.5. I know a new film _____________ (show) at the cinema in two days.6. I know a new film _____________ (show) at the cinema recently.Keys:1. had been cut2. was told (The past tense is used to show the hypothetical meaning.)3. was climbing (The active voice is used because the subject of the sentence is the one who performs the action.)4. are being shown (The present continuous tense is used because “these days” refers to a period of time in which an action is continuously being performed.)5. will be shown ( “In two days” refers to sometime in the future.)6. has been shown (The adverb “recently” is a marker of present perfect tense.)2. SubordinationSubordination (abbreviated variously SUBORD, SBRD, SUBR or SR) is a complex syntactic construction in which one or more clauses are dependent on the main clause.Dependent clauses are also called “subordinate clauses”.Subordinate clauses are introduced by a subordinating conjunction, such as, after, although, as much as, as long as, as soon as, because, before, if, in order that, lest, since, so that, than, that, though, unless, until, when, whenever, where, wherever, whether, and while, etc..
