A Priceless Lesson in Humility
A few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, DC. I saw many of our nation's treasures, and I also saw a lot of our fellow citizens on the street — unfortunate ones, like panhandlers and homeless folks.①
Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, \” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. In a natural reflex, I reacinto my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it in her hand without even lookinher.② I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar.
But the blind woman smiled and said, \office.\
In an instant, I realized what I had done. I had acted out of prejudice — I had judged anoperson simply for what I assumed she had to be.③
I hated what I saw in myself. This incident reawakened my core belief. It reaffirmed that Ibelieved in humility, even though I had failed to do so for a moment. ④
The thing I had forgotten about myself was that I am an immigrant. ⑤ I left Honduras and arrived in the U.S. at the age of 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister, and a strong, no-nonsense mother. Over the years, I had been a dish washer, roofer, casmechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other humble jobs, and eventually I became a netwengineer.
In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice. I remember a time, at the a17, when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that, if he did not do well in sche would end up like me. ⑥ I have also witnessed similar treatment of my family and friends, sknow what it's like, and I should have known better.
But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is all too easy to forget my pastforget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. ⑦That blwoman on the streets of Washington, D.C. cured me of my self-induced blindness. She reminded memy belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open. ⑧
By the way, I helped that lady to the post office. And in writing this essay, I hope to thaher for the priceless lesson she gave me.

Grammar in Focus 被动语态（The Passive）
语态是动词的一种形式，用来说明主语和谓语的关系。英语中共有两种语态：主动语态（Active Voice）动语态（Passive Voice）。主动语态通常表示主语是动作的执行者；被动语态通常表示主语是动作的承受者 一、被动语态的构成和时态
被动语态由助动词be + 动词的过去分词构成。其中，助动词be在人称和数上要同主语保持一致。被动各种时态是通过助动词be体现出来的。被动语态的各种常见时态形式详见下表： 时态名称 被动语态形式 一般现在时 am （is, are） + 过去分词 一般过去时 was（were） + 过去分词 一般将来时 shall （will） be + 过去分词 现在进行时 am （is, are） being + 过去分词 过去进行时 was（were） + being过去分词 现在完成时 has（have） been + 过去分词 过去完成时 had been + 过去分词 将来完成时 shall（will）have been + 过去分词 当一个句子由主动形式转化为被动形式时，原来主动句的宾语转化成了被动句的主语，原来主动句的主语成了介词by的宾语，同时，动词由原来的主动形式转化成了被动形式。例如： 主动语态：Every young man likes popular music in this area.
被动语态：Popular music is liked by every young man in this area. 例句：
例1、一般现在时的被动语态：Resistance is measured in Ohms. 电阻是以欧姆度量的。 例2、一般过去时的被动语态：My wallet was stolen a week ago. 一周前我的钱包被偷了。
例3、一般将来时的被动语态：They will be sent to America by school for one-year study. 学校们去美国学习一年。
例4、现在进行时的被动语态：His room is being painted. 他的房间正在被粉刷。
例5、过去进行时的被动语态：When we got there last year, the station was being set up. 去年那里的时候，车站正在兴建。
例6、现在完成时的被动语态：The book has been translated into many languages. 这本书已经被译多种语言。
例7、过去完成时的被动语态：She was informed that the paper had been signed by the manager.到通知说经理已经在文件上签了字。
例8、将来完成时的被动语态：By the year 2014, many different means of transportation will hbeen developed. 到2014年以前，将开发出许多不同的交通工具。
例9、带有情态动词的被动语态：
其结构为：情态动词 + be + 及物动词的过去分词
This work should be done as soon as possible. 我们应尽快完成这项工作。”,
The word \can be used in several different meanings. “bank”这个词可以有不同的意思。 提示：
●主动句转化成被动句的前提条件是谓语动词是及物动词或相当于及物动词的短语，一般而言，不及物动有被动语态。
●主动句中，在make, let, have, see, hear, watch, notice, feel等动词后，如果用不定式作宾语补语，不定式前一般不带不定式符号to，但将这些句子转化成被动语态时，不定式符号to就不能省去。 主动语态：The boss made the workers work for 12 hours a day. 被动语态：The workers were made to work for 12 hours a day.
●有些主动句中的动词如accord, ask, assign, give, grant, offer, pay, refuse, show, tell等常两个宾语，一个直接宾语和一个间接宾语。这类句子转化成被动语态时，一般把间接宾语（通常是指人的词）成被动语态的主语。有时也可将直接宾语（通常是指物的词）转化为主语。在被动结构中，被保留的间接宾语常要加介词to。
主动语态：The author gave us a detailed description based on his personal observation of na 被动语态：We were given a detailed description by the author based on his personal observatof nature.
A detailed description was given to us by the author based on his personal observation of nature.
二、短语动词的被动语态
除了及物动词可用于被动结构外，一些相当于及物动词的短语动词也可用于被动语态。如account for（明，解释）, call upon（要求）, listen to （倾听）, look after（照料）, rely on（依靠）, bring a（引起）, find out（找出，查明）, give up（放弃）, do away with（废除）, look down upon（轻视）up with（容忍）, catch sight of（发现，看出）, keep pace with（跟上）, lay stress on（强调）, muse of（利用）, pay attention to（注意）, put an end to（结束）, take notice of（注意到）, takeadvantage of （利用）等等。 例如：
Such failure was never thought of when they first started. All the plans made have now been carried out exactly. Such bad behaviour can never be put up with. 三、主动语态表示被动意义
在某些情况下，主动语态也用于表示被动意义。例如：
Your hands feel very cold. You must be really nervous. Clothes iron more easily when damp.
In such hot weather meat won't keep long. 四、被动结构与系表结构
被动结构的基本形式是be + 动词的过去分词，但并非所有的be + 动词的过去分词形式都是被动语态结英语中，有些及物动词的过去分词形式可用作形容词，它们放在系动词后面时，就构成了系表结构。例如： The shopping mall is crowded with people, especially on Sundays. （系表结构）
The children were so absorbed in their game that they did not notice the passage of time.（结构）
The expressway connecting the two cities is completed. （被动结构） Exercises

C） is being D） will have been [答疑编号506494020802：针对该题提问]

[答疑编号506494020807：针对该题提问]

A） being circled B） are circling
C） are to be circling D） are being circled [答疑编号506494020808：针对该题提问]
【正确答案】Ｂ
【答案解析】译文：科学家们佑计大约有53万其他星体也绕着地球转，这些星体太小了， 难以用无线电探测出来。其中too small to detect with radar是插入语。根据句意，主语objects与谓语之间是主谓关系，不需要被动语态；另本句陈述的是正在进行的客观事实，应该用现在进行时，可以排除C和D项。因此本题缺少谓语，不能使用分词形式，故
排除A项。A项是现在分词的被动语态。答案为B。
