My Teacher
I haven’t seen Mr Jenkins since I left school, but I often think about him. I wasn’t very good at most school subjects before I met Mr Jenkins. I suppose I was a bit lazy, 1 (especial) in maths. The only thing I can remember from school maths is that the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees! But when I was 15 and went into Mr Jenkins’ class, I really became interested in a subject for the first time.
Before Mr Jenkins taught me, science had simply been a subject full of strange words to me. I had no idea what hydrogen was, and I didn’t really want to know, either! I found it all so boring and difficult. But Mr Jenkins made everything interesting. He used 2 (explain) things which seemed difficult with lots of practical examples and in simple language. One day, he took us outside, and we built a rocket! I remember that he let me pour some fuel into the rocket, and then another student lit a match to set it 3 . It was great fun.
I know that I wasn’t a willing student, but I wasn’t slow to learn new things. The problem was that I lacked confidence in myself. Mr Jenkins made me feel that I had my own strengths. I was interested in the study of the stars and 4 (planet) and he asked me to give a presentation to the class. That was really the first time I had tried to explain science to an audience and now it’s my job! Often when I’m preparing a programme, I think about 5 Mr Jenkins would have done it. Sometimes I think, if only I could call him and ask for his opinion!
My Student
I’ve read a couple of Graham’s books and seen him on TV. I always say to my wife, “Oh look, I used to teach him!” I remember Graham was very difficult before he came into my class. I had heard stories about his bad behaviour. Once I caught him and his friends seeing who could jump the farthest off the school stage! 6 when he got interested, he changed. The first day he walked into my class, he was dragging his schoolbag behind him and looking bored, but as soon as I set up 7 experiment to show how the human stomach works using acid and an onion, he gave me his full attention. He loved science! He was very bright and he had done very well in science subjects.
However, I have not done as well with all my students as I have with Graham. I think it’s important to understand that there’s no such thing as a good or a bad student. Look at Graham! Everyone is good at something and it’s important to find out 8 that is for each student. We teachers should have more time to make friends with all our students and really understand them. Then we could make sure that we would find the path to success, both at school and in later life, for all of them.
I knew I 9 (choose) a job with a lot of stress but I love what I do. The thing about being a teacher is that you have access to children’s minds when they are open and eager to learn. If what I do as a teacher can help turn a child like Graham into such a 10 (success) adult, then I know what I’m doing is worthwhile. As John Dewey, the famous educationalist, said, “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”

过去完成时

The fire had come about before the couple came back.这对夫妇回来之前火灾就已经发生了。
2.否定句:主语+had+not+动词的过去分词+其他

否定回答:No,主语+hadn’t.
—Had you organized similar activities before you participated in the activity?
—Yes,I had./No,I hadn’t.
——在参加这项活动之前你组织过类似的活动吗?
——是的,我组织过。/没有,我以前没组织过。
4.特殊疑问句:特殊疑问词(或词组)+had+主语+动词的过去分词+其他?
Where had you been before you came to China for a visit?你来中国参观之前还去过哪儿?
三、过去完成时的常见用法
1.表示过去某一时间或动作以前已经发生或者完成的动作或存在的状态,即“过去的过去”。也可以表示从过去某一时间开始,一直延续到过去的另一时间的动作或状态。句中的时间状语可以用by,before,until,when等引出或者用一个过去的动作来表示,还可以通过上下文来表示。
By the end of last year he had run out of all the money inherited from his father.到去年年底,他已花光了从他父亲那里继承的所有钱。

It was almost ten years since he had made a documentary to retell the history of the Palace Museum in detail.从他制作一部纪录片来详细地重新讲述故宫博物院的历史以来,已经快十年了。
五、疑难辨析
1.过去完成时与一般过去时的区别
一般过去时表示过去某时发生的动作或存在的状态,常与具体的表过去的时间状语连用(如:ago,yesterday,last week等)。
过去完成时表示的动作或状态发生在“过去的过去”。也可以表示从过去某一时间开始,一直延续到过去的另一时间的动作或状态,如:
Alex finished his studies in 2020.
亚历克斯在2020年结束了他的学业。
By the time Alex finished his studies in 2020,he had been in London for over eight years.
亚历克斯在2020年结束他的学业时,他已经在伦敦待了8年多了。
2.现在完成时和过去完成时的区别
现在完成时指动作发生在过去,但与现在有关系,常与since或者“for+一段时间”连用。
过去完成时则主要体现过去发生的两个动作的先后有别,表达的是“过去的过去”。如:
The company has a growing market because it has extended its operations into Europe recently.该公司的市场不断扩大,因为它最近将其业务扩展到了欧洲。
The company had a growing market because it had extended its operations into Europe.该公司的市场不断扩大,因为它将其业务扩展到了欧洲。
