被动语态
本课侧重的是从句中的被动语态改为分词短语的用法。如：After he was arrested, the man confessed that he had stolen the money.句中after从句中的被动结构he was arrested可以改为being arrested，因为主从句的主语是一致的。
课文主要语言点

After having been instructed to drive out of town, I began to acquire confidence. 1)注意after从句中的被动结构原本是个句子，即：after I had been instructed to drive out of town。之所以能够改为短语，是因为主从句的主语是一致的。 2)instruct，指导、指示。 3)acquire confidence，获得信心、感到自信。acquire，获得。confidence，信心;其形容词为confident(自信的)。

I continued driving and after some time, the examiner tapped loudly. 1)注意continue可以后接to do和doing，都表示继续做某事。但是，continue有两个不同的形容词，即continual(断断续续的)和continuous(持续不断的)。 2)after some time，过了一会儿。注意这里的some time要分开写;合起来就成了sometime(某个时间)。
