When the final student was seated he picked up a large and empty glass bottle and filled it with rocks . He then asked the students if the jar was full . They agreed that it was.2 He then picked up a box of pebbles and added them to the jar, shaking it lightly. The pebbles, of course rolled into the open areas between the rocks. After that he poured some sand into bottle. The sand filled in everything else. Finally he took 2 cans of beer and poured it into the jar.3 Through this the professor wanted his students to recognize that this jar represents our life. The rocks are the important things in our life, like our family, our health … things that would still remain even if everything else were lost, and our life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter — like our job or our house. The sand is the small stuff in our life. If we put the sand into the jar first there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. So he told his students to set their priorities and pay attention to things that are critical to their happiness: their family, their health … The else is just sand.Read and ExploreTask One Discovering the Main Ideas1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) Why does Helen Keller think that it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow?Because she believes that such an attitude would emphasize sharply the value of life.2) According to Helen Keller, what is the right way to live each day?

Although we all know that we will die sooner or later, we tend to picture that day as far in the future. So, we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life. In other words, we take life for granted.4) What does Helen Keller think of the attitude that most of us adopt towards our faculties and senses?She thinks that we tend to take our abilities to see and hear for granted and seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. That is why we often fail to make our life fuller and richer.5) Why does Helen Keller think that it would be a blessing if each of us were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during our early adult life?

So education is important in preventing the spread of HIV.2) There are TWO processes to prevent new HIV infections: one is to give people information about HIV and the other is to teach people how to put this information to use and act on it practically.3) HIV-positive people need to get medical services and drug supplies . And they also need to find appropriate emotional and practical support and help.4) Many people fear those who are HIV-positive. Some extreme cases can be found in India , where AIDS patients were burned to death .Read and ExploreTask One Discovering the Main Ideas1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) Why does the author describe Charles Winget and his wife in the first paragraph?Because she intends to show that people’s bodies operate at different speeds.2) How would behavioral scientists explain the differences between Charles Winget and his wife?Behavioral scientists would say that such differences were caused by personal eccentricities or early conditioning.3) What are “circadian rhythms” according to Franz Halberg?According to Franz Halberg, circadian rhythms are the regular daily patterns of our body. That is, our systems work on an approximately 25-hour cycle. Sometimes our body speeds up, and sometimes it slows down. It achieves peak efficiency for only a limited time each day.4) How does the study of chronobiology benefit people in general? Chronobiology tells people how to coordinate their activities with their biological capacities so that they can achieve their best with the least effort.5) What approach has been developed to help a person recognize his body’s patterns?Winget and his associates have developed a simple approach. It is to record 6 readings of a person’s temperature all throughout the day and put the readings on graph paper. The rising or falling patterns of the temperature can be recognized as his body’s patterns.6) How should we arrange our mental and physical work according to the author?Physical work can be best done when our rhythms are at their peak. In most people, this peak lasts about four hours. For mental activities, the timetable is more complicated. Precision tasks such as mathematical work are best tackled when your temperature is on the rise. For most people, this is at 8 or 9 a.m. By contrast, reading and reflection are better done between 2 and 4 p.m., which is the time when body temperature usually begins to fall.7) What tips does chronobiology offer for effective dieting?Eating breakfast rather than dinner helps to lose weight, because calories burn faster in the morning than in the evening.8) What tips for sleep problems are offered in the text?Three tips are offered. The first is that we should go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every morning, even on weekends. The second is that the best way to recover from a bad night’s sleep is simply to resume your normal cycle. And the third tip is that we should beware of sleepin g pills, as most sleeping pills won’t work for periods longer than two weeks and there is real danger of drug accumulation in the blood.2 Text A can be divided into four parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part Paragraph(s) Main IdeaOne 1–4 Our bodies operate with the complexity of clocks. Franz Halberg, a physician-biologist, discovered that there is a 25-hour cycle in the body with the body systems running with regular patterns. Halberg called these regular patterns “circadian rhythms.”Two 5–6 Circadian principles have already been used to schedule astronauts’ work and it is expected that the work in chronobiology will be applied to increasing our efficiency in daily activities.Three 7–17 Taking the given approach to figure out our body’s patterns, we can then take advantage of chronobiology techniques to improve our healthand productivity in such aspects of life as our daily work, dieting, taking medicine and sleeping.Four 18 It is important to keep regularity in all aspects of our life and learn to act in synchronization with our body’s natural rhythms.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1. It is barely 5 a.m., but Winget is raring to go. Meanwhile, his wife pulls up the covers and buries her face under the pillow. (Para. 1)Early in the morning Winget wakes up and is eager to begin the day’s work while his wife still needs more sleep. That is to say, people’s body clocks run at different speeds, thus leading to different waking times.2. Halberg’s explanation: instead of performing at a steady, unchanging rate, our systems function on an approximately 25-hour cycle. (Para. 4)Many people believe that our systems work at the same rate all throughout the day, but it is not true.3. Of course, individual variations make all the difference. (Para. 11) Different people may show different patterns of temperature change, and such differences reflect differences in their circadian rhythms.4. “All the subjects lost weight eating breakfast,” states Sothern. “Those who ate dinner either maintained or gained weight.” (Para. 14)Sothern, a chronobiologist who personally did the research and whose words are to be taken seriously, emphasizes the point that for effective dieting, it’s a good choice to eat breakfast rather than dinner.5. The best way to recover from a bad night’s sleep is simply to resume your normal cycle. (Para. 17)The best way to recover from a bad night’s sleep is not to have more sleep in order to make up for the lost sleep, but to go on with your normal sleep-wake cycle, i.e. to go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every morning, even on weekends.Checking Your VocabularyWord Detective1 Put down the right word from Text B in the space provided according to the given definition.

AIDS is the third leading killer of young adult Americans today. Worldwide, 40 million, 60 million, or a hundred million infections will be counted in the coming few years.3) Why does Fisher say that AIDS virus is not a political creature?Because it has nothing to do with politics. It does not care whether you are a Democrat or Republican; it attacks people regardless of race, sex or age; it does not ask whether you are gay or straight.4) Why has the AIDS virus spread so widely?Because we have helped it spread with our ignorance, prejudice and silence.5) Why shouldn’t AIDS patients be treated cruelly?Because they are human. Each of them is a person. They are not evil and have not earned cruelty. They do not deserve meanness. They don’t be nefit frombeing isolated or treated as outcasts. They long for our pity and they are worthy of our compassion and support.6) How have Fisher’s family members reacted to her being infected with HIV? Instead of practicing prejudice against her, they have rendered strong support to her. Her parents and her brother have shown concern for her consistently. They have always encouraged her and have helped her pull through the hardest moments in her struggle against the disease.7) What does Mary Fisher call on her listeners to do?She calls on the whole nation to be aware of AIDS. She calls on the HIV positive to have the courage to fight it out. She calls on the healthy people to set aside prejudice and show compassion and support for AIDS patients.2 Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1) I have come tonight to bring our silence to an end. (Para. 1)To act on the proposal I made, I have to break the silence myself tonight. It is time to speak out the truth about the deadly disease — AIDS.2) Tonight, I represent an AIDS community whose members came reluctantly from every segment of American society. (Para. 5)AIDS has become so widespread that those who have been infected come from every part of society.3) Are you human? And this is the right question: Are you human? (Para. 7) This question reveals the essence of the AIDS issue: Since AIDS poses a threat to humankind, every one of us, irrespective of race, age or sex, may contract HIV and become a victim of AIDS for the simplest reason that we are all human.4) Because people with HIV have not entered some alien state of being. (Para. 7)Because people with HIV have not turned into some strange kind of creature that is totally different from us. They are just as human as anyone else. We have no reason to practice prejudice against them.5) Then their children, and yours, may not need to whisper it at all. (Para. 15) Then the future generations will face the problem in an honest and frank manner. Only in this way can they deal with the disease effectively and make the world safe and free from this deadly disease.Optional Classroom ActivitiesThe two tables below illustrate respectively the leading causes of death worldwide in 2002 (Table 1) and the leading causes of death among 15 to 59-year-olds worldwide (Table 2) in the same year. Work in small groups and study the tables carefully, and then do the following two tasks:1) Compare the two tables and find out in Table 2a. What new causes of death are added?New causes of death added in Table 2 are: suicide, violence and liver cancer.b. What causes move up in ranking?Causes that move up in ranking in Table 2 are: HIV / AIDS, road accidents and tuberculosis.Suggestions for this activity:Since students will have no difficulty in finding out the answers to the questions in Task 1, this activity should focus on Task 2. In fact, no professional knowledge is required for a fruitful discussion. Students are encouraged to share their existing knowledge and pool their ideas. If time permits, ask some students to give presentations to the whole class.2) Discuss what might have caused the above differences.Table 2 shows an increase in the ranking of deaths due to HIV / AIDS, tuberculosis, road accidents, suicide, violence and liver cancer among people in the 15–59 age bracket, compared to their rankings in all age groups.Teenagers (13–19 year olds) and young people tend to be more passionate, emotional and adventurous. So they may love taking risks: breaking traffic laws, taking drugs, being loose with sexual relationships. And they may easily feel frustrated with failures in their study or relationships.Hence more deaths resulting from road accidents, violence, HIV / AIDS, and suicide.People in their thirties and forties are generally under great pressure from their work and family burdens. The pressure may continue to be a threat to their health before they reach 60.Enhance Your Language AwarenessWords in ActionWorking with Words and Expressions1 In the boxes below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

III. 美国有调查表明,大多数人出于不同的原因、在不同程度上说过谎。
有时,他们说谎是为了让别人高兴。
比如:装出积极的态度来肯定朋友或配偶,实际上他、她内心却没有如此认可。
有时,他们说谎是为了提升自己,这种情况现在越来越普遍了。
有时,是为了避免伤害别人,当未加粉饰的实情难以接受的时候更是如此。
有人则把说谎看作一种必要的社交润滑剂。
不管怎么说,说谎都是为了掩饰实情。
关于说谎,不同的人又不同的观点。
有些人认为,假话,即便是看上去无害的假话,也可能带来预料不到的后果。
一个人说了第一个谎话之后,他就需要说更多的谎话来掩饰最初的谎话,最后会变成沉重的精神负担。
一位哲学家警告说,如果一个人说谎,他就(等于)把自己置于一个溜滑的斜坡上,因为他的心理障碍减轻了。
但是,另外一些人则认为,我们不必不惜一切代价去避免所有善意的谎言,因为一个善意的谎言可能仅仅是用牺牲信任而去换取关心和爱护而已。
