People around “me” are pushing “me”.
Q3. What is the difference between the two groups of sentences?
passive form
And just look at how her dress is being folded by the wind!
I’m being pushed around quite a bit, in fact.
active form
And just look at how the wind is folding her dress!
People are pushing me around quite a bit, in fact.
Q4. Why does the author choose to use the passive form instead of the active form in the reading passage?
Present continuous passive
1. 结构:am/is/are being done
2. 定义：
现在进行时的被动语态表示说话时或现阶段正在进行或发生的被动动作，强调主语是动作的承受者。
3. 用法
① 表示此刻正在进行的被动动作。
A new film is being shown in the theater.
② 表示现阶段正在进行的被动动作，但此动作不一定在此时此刻发生。
A modern school is being built in our hometown.
③ 表示经常性的被动动作，常和always, often, constantly等词连用 (表达某种感情色彩)。
He is always being praised by the teacher.
4. 注意
① 注意不可遗漏being
Look! The children are being taken good care of by their aunt.
比较: Children are taken good care of at school.
② 注意不可忽视“现阶段”
（可表示目前一阶段正在进行的一个被动的动作）
③ 注意没有现在进行时的被动语态的动词
一些表示“状态、心理活动、拥有、存在”等的动词，一般不用现在进行时的被动语态，而常用一般现在时的被动语态。
Football is loved by more and more people.
④ 注意“be + under / in等介词 + 名词”结构可表示现在进行时的被动语态的含义。
The problem is under discussio (= is being discussed) at the meeting.
The telephone is in use (= is being used) now.
