你早上有没有看新闻？没有？那你就漏掉了精彩的头条了！想知道是什么？真的很想知道吗？好吧，那就让我重述一下吧。大家都熟悉的故事是猫捉老鼠，对吧？早上的头条就如“猫和老鼠”，但这回的主角是“捉猫的老鼠”了。怪事吧，所以才能登上头条的位置呀！
故事是这样的：这只会抓猫的老鼠每天都抓猫，每天都到处窜，搞到猫都躲起来了。于是，新闻的第一条是：
A mouse catches a cat every day.
A mouse catches cats every day.
也就是说，
A cat is caught by a mouse every day.(每天，猫都被老鼠抓。)
Cats are caught by a mouse every day.(每天，猫都被老鼠抓。)
记者采访时，街坊颤抖地说出昨天的事况，昨天那只老鼠可能身体不适，只是抓了两只猫就收工了。于是，新闻的第二条是：The mouse caught two cats yesterday.
也就是说，Two cats were caught by the mouse yesterday.（昨天，两只猫被老鼠抓住了。）
记者在访问的过程中，无意中还得知了老鼠明天的计划，他打算明天抓10只猫才罢休。于是，新闻的第三条是：The mouse will catch ten cats tomorrow.
也就是说，Ten cats will be caught by the mouse tomorrow.(明天，10只猫将被老鼠抓住。)
记者在访问的过程中，听到了老鼠和猫厮打的叫声。于是，新闻的第四条是：The mouse is catching a cat now.
也就是说，A cat is being caught by the mouse now.(现在，1只猫正被老鼠追逐着。)
记者临结束访问的时候，看到两只猫被老鼠五花八绑地躺在地上，原来是老鼠得逞了！于是，新闻的第五条是：The mouse has caught two cats.
也就是说，Two cats have been caught by the mouse.(两只猫已经被老鼠抓住了。)(So the two cats can't go anywhere now.)
记者引导街坊们对此事件做一总结，街坊们都说“遇到这只会抓猫的老鼠是猫倒大霉了，以后猫见到这只老鼠都得绕路走了”。于是，新闻的第六条是：The mouse can catch cats.
也就是说，Cats can be caught by the mouse.
快速回顾一下新闻：
A cat is caught by a mouse every day.(每天，猫都被老鼠抓。)
Cats are caught by a mouse every day.(每天，猫都被老鼠抓。)
Two cats were caught by the mouse yesterday.（昨天，两只猫被老鼠抓住了。）
Ten cats will be caught by the mouse tomorrow.(明天，10只猫将被老鼠抓住。)
A cat is being caught by the mouse now.(现在，1只猫正被老鼠追逐着。)
Two cats have been caught by the mouse.(So the two cats can't go anywhere now.)(两只猫已经被老鼠抓住了。)
同学们，看到了没有，当我们要强调动作的对象（猫）时，我们就把其放在主语的位置，而原来的动词一律使用过去分词（done）, 而随着不同时态不同主语变化的只是"BE", 事情是谁做的就是"by(拜)"谁所赐了。这种表达就是传说中的被动语态了，可以说被动语态就是玩"BE"游戏了，对吧？看完这个离奇的新闻头条，收获挺大的吧。那我们一起做做练习检验一下我们是不是趁机学习了被动语态，好吗？
玩"be"游戏：
1. I eat an apple every day.
2. Daming plays computer games every day.
3. He visited his grandparents yesterday.
4. Mom is washing clothes now.
5. They have locked the door.
6. Amy will take care of her little brother next weekend.
答案反白可见：
1. An apple is eaten (by me) every day.
2. Computer games are played by Daming every day.
3. His grandparents were visited by him yesterday.
4. Clothes are being washed by Mom now.
5. The door has been locked (by them).
6. Her little brother will be taken care of by Amy next weekend.
