My old friend, Harrison, had lived in the Mediterranean for many years before he returned to England. He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country. He had no sooner returned than he bought a fine house and went to live there. Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather, for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold. After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock. He acted as if he had never lived in England before. In the end, it was more than he could bear. He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country. The dream he had had for so many years ended there. Harrison had thought of everything except the weather.

Part 3 Grammar
过去完成时
表示在过去某一时间或动作之前已经完成了的动作。即表示“过去的过去”的动作。 1. 常见时间状语
由于过去完成时表示的是在过去某一时间或动作之前已经完成了的动作，所以一定要个表示过去的时间状语或动作来做标志，如by the end of last year，by last week等。
如：He had finished the task by last weekend. 到上周末为止，他已经完成了这项任务。 He had left by the time I arrived. 等我到到达的时候他已经离开了。 2. 基本结构
过去完成时的基本构成：助动词had + 过去分词done。had不分人称和数。 3. 过去完成时的主要用法。
(1) 过去完成时表示一个动作或状态在过去某一时间或动作之前已经完成或结束，即发生在“过去的过去”。如：When I woke up，it had stopped raining. 我醒来时，雨已经停了。（主句的动作发生在“过去的过去”。） (2) 过去完成时是一个相对的时态，表示的是“过去的过去”，只有和过去某一时间或某一动作相比较时才使用它。
如：He told me that he had written a new book. (had written发生在told之前。)
(3) 过去完成时需要与一个表示过去的时间状语连用，它不能离开过去时间而独立存在。此时多与 already，yet，still，just，before，never 等时间副词及 by，before，until 等引导的短语或从句连用。 如：He said that he had learned some English before. 他说以前他对英语有些了解。 Peter had collected more than 300 Chinese stamps by the time he was ten. Tom was disappointed that most of the guests had left when he arrived at the party. 当他到达聚会的时候，大多数客人都已经离开了，汤姆对此很失望。
(4) 过去完成时表示某一动作或状态在过去某时之前已经开始，一直延续到这一过去时间，而且动作尚未结束，仍然有继续下去的可能。
如：By the end of last year，he had worked in the factory for twenty years. （had worked已有了 20 年，还有继续进行下去的可能。）
Exercise 1 1. When he arrived at the bus stop, the bus ________ for 20 minutes.
A. has left A. joined A. has been open
B. had left B. have joined B. has opened
C. had been away C. have been in C. was open
2. I ______ the League for 5 years so far.
3. The factory ________ since the February of 1988. 4. Mary and Rose _______friends since they met in 2000.
