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? According to Helen Keller, we should live each day with a gentleness, a vigour, and a keenness of appreciation.3) What does Helen Keller mean by saying that most of us take life for granted? 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? Because darkness would make us more appreciative of sight and silence would teach us the joys of sound.2 Text A can be divided into two parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part: One; Paragraph(s): 1- 4; Main Idea: Most of us take life for granted.

They know what they want in life and they go after it.3) They are: a) decide what you want; b) make clear your values; c) write them down; and d) take action.4) According to the passage, one should have written goals, careful choices, clear commitments and daily persistence if he or she wants to be successful.2. Zooming In on the Details1) athletes2) inspiring3) accident4) priorities5) independence6) intentions7) specific8) marriage9) extraordinary10) persistent11) sketches12) commitmentsII. Text A---Discovering the Main Ieas1.1) In this essay, the author talks about the issue of fame. The main idea is that most people want fame because fame can bring them celebrity, high regard, admiration, etc. However, the author emphasizes that there are few people who can really capture fame and that fame is usually short-lived. Fame can affect and sometimes even destroy one’s life.2) The author takes an objective attitude towards fame with an emphasis on its negative side. He believes that fame rewards one with money, power and popularity, but it may also enslave him and destroy his life.3) According to the author, to stay famous, an artist has to perform in the style that the public wants and enjoys, no matter how bored he is of performing in the same style year after year. Any attempt to change the style may result in the loss of his popularity among his fans.4) To find excuses for the failures, people tend to claim that they are too sensitive, they are not interested in money, they are not interested in the power that fame brings and they are not interested in the loss of privacey it demands, etc.5) According to the author, people chase fame because they want to demonstrate excellence in some field; to gain the admiration and love of many others; to be the one everyone talks about; to show family and friends that they are more than their family and friends thought they were.6) Probably not. According to the author, fame takes “the you out of you”, which means that oncea person becomes famous, he must be what the public thinks he is, not what he really is or couldbe. Fame enslaves him with what the public wants, instead of helping him maintain and develop his own identity or his true self.2.Part Paragraph(s) Main IdeaOne 1-2 Fame enslaves the person who pursues it because once he becomes fam ous, he will not only attract the public’s attention, but also has to workand live in line with the public’s expectations. He then becomes the slaveof his own success.Two 3-4 For those who look for fame, failure is not necessarily a bad thing, especially for those who fail to perform well enough, because people tendto be more tolerant towards and sympathetic with them.Three 5 Though fame brings disadvantages to those who achieve it, people still seek fame for various reasons.Four 6 It is better to take a critical attitude towards fame.III. Text A---Reading Between the Lines1.According to the author, fame and the public attention that comes with it can destroy one’stalent. Once you become famous, it is not you but the public that controls your fate. You have to work and live in line with the public expectations.2.Artists are no longer the master of themselves. In order to meet the public demands, they haveto perform in the same style year after year, no matter how bored they become.3.Fame often affects how performers see their own talent and skills. It is easy for them tobelieve that they are as perfect as what the media describe. They may indulge themselves in that illusion and lose their own judgment about themselves.4.Once you become famous, your opponents will pay more attention to you and they will seekevery opportunity to challenge or even attack you. You will also be exposed to the limelight and the media may keep an eye on whatever you are doing.IV.

Text B---Checking Your Comprehension1. NFinancial wealth, in fact, is a shallow measure of success. If we accept dollars as our standard, then “money is the measure of the man,” and what could be more foolish than that? (Para. 4) Such success cannot be measured in monetary terms. (Para.10)2. Y…wealth is ill-measured by using mere dollars: … (Para. 3)What about a life well-lived? What about a family closely bound by love? Who could be wealthier than a man or woman whose calling provides benefits to mankind, or to fellow citizens, or even toa community or neighborhood? (Para. 4)3. Y… that fame is ill-measured by public notoriety; … (Para. 3)4. N… and that power is ill-measured solely by control over others. (Para. 3)5. NPerhaps the famed economist Joseph Schumpeter can help. Ambitious people are driven, he suggested, by “the joy of creating, of getting things done, of simply exercising one’s energy and ingenuity; and by the will to conquer, the impulse to fight, to succeed for the sake, not of the fruits of success”--- i.e. wealth, fame, and power--- “but of success itself.” (Para. 9)6. YSource sentences: Such success cannot be measured in monetary terms, nor in terms of the amount of power one may exercise over others, nor in the illusory fame of inevitably short-lived public notice. But it can be measured in our contributions to building a better world, in helping our fellow man, in bringing up children who themselves become loving human beings and good citizens. (Para. 10)VI. Text B---Optional Classroom Activities(The following explanations are provided only for references)1)As long as you have confidence in yourself, and hold the belief that anything is possible, youare already on your way to success.2)If you always close your eyes to possibilities, you will attempt nothing and accomplishnothing. Such a pessimistic attitude can never make a successful person.3)Successful people know their goals and would waste no time in pursuing them. If you believewhat you are doing now would lead you to success, the 10 million dollars might speed you up on your way to success but would not change what you are doing now.4)Education and talent are important factors in achieving success, but they can never take theplace of perseverance. On your way to success, the biggest obstacle is not the lack of education or talent, but the lack of persistence and determination in what you are doing.Education and talent may help you to achieve success, yet only persistence and determination can give you the will power to stick to your goal and to overcome difficulties.5)The only answer is as much as it takes.VII.

We will reach the peak in half an hour.2.Many people want to be famous because fame can bring them both honor and respect from the public. In most cases, fame can also help them gain wealth. But, after all, very few people can really become famous while most people, including most artists, are unlikely to become famous.It is true that some failure for some people at certain times in their lives does motivate them to strive even harder so as to achieve final success. For example, Thomas Edison, the famous American inventor, had tried hundreds of materials before he finally found the suitable fuse for the electric bulb. However, unfortunately, for most people failure is the end of their struggle.Therefore, in my opinion, success is one thing and fame is another. As long as you have tried your best, you’re already successful whether y ou are famous or not.XII. Theme-Related WritingA Sample Essay:Fame--- Good or EvilFame has always been pursued by many people for the advantages it brings about. Fame can assure one of a high social status, high regard, great admiration, etc. Fame can also bring one wealth as a celebrity has more chances to earn big money. Besides, the applauses and flowers from the fans may boost one’s self-confidence and increase one’s sense of fulfillment.However, fame can ruin one’s life, too. It deprives one of his privacy. As a public figure, he is often chased by fans and journalists, and his private life never escapes the media’s attention or public curiosity. Fame also places one under great pressure. He has to work in line with public expectations and thus becomes the slave of his own success.So fame is a double-edged sword. I don’t seek fame and I don’t envy those who are famous. I highly appreciate what the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow says about fame: “The talent of success is nothing more than doing well whatever you do without a thought of fame.”。

For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death. Without doubt, Burton was a man with a heart of stone.。

Unit 5 Force of NatureText Comprehension1. Decide which of the following best states the author's purpose.A.To display Marie Curie's career as a Nobel Prize winner.B.To honor Marie Curie who made magnificent contribution inscience.C.To unfold Marie Curie's complex life as glorious and tragic.D.To introduce Marie Curie and her family.Key: [ C ]2. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1). At first I only knew that Marie Curie, a brilliant woman scientist, was the first person to win two Nobel Prizes. [ T ]2). Marie Curie was obsessively engaged in her research after her daughters were born. [ F ]3). As governess to a wealthy family, Marie Curie fell in love with Casimir Zorawski, the young master. As his father threatened to disinherit him, she left Warsaw with courage for Paris, where her new life began. [ T ]4). Marie Curie left Warsaw for Paris at the age of 18. [ F ]5). The place where the Curies were working was dark, damp, shabby, and sad, more like a stable than a lab. [ T ]6). The Curies became world famous, especially after they won a Nobel Prize in physics in 1903 for the discovery of radium and polonium. [ F ]7). Eve Curie, a year old when her father died, wrote that Pierre's death marked a crucial moment in her mother's life. [ F ]8). Shortly after her husband's funeral, Madame Curie went into the lab immediately though she should have stayed with her family and friends. [ T ]9). A second Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded to the Curies for isolating the elements radium and polonium. [ F ]10). According to the author, Madame Curie conquered colossal obstacles in science, but paid an enormous personal price. Her life was so complex that her glory was mingled with tragedy. [ T ]Writing StrategiesThis text is a biographical sketch of the great woman scientist Marie Curie. Except for the first three paragraphs, which make up the introductory part of the story, the narration of the major events inMadame Curie's life follows the chronological order. To make her narration and description more graphical and impressive, the author has used some metaphorical expressions and sentences. For example, the expression 'drag by' used in paragraph 4 immediately makes the reader share the way Marie felt about those four long years of waiting.Can you find more instances of metaphorical language used in the text?More instances of metaphorical language found in the text:Paragraph 1: “her arms wrapped around her daughters”Paragraph 3: Also she was a woman driven by passions, fighting battles much of her life with what a doctor now would probably diagnose as severe depression.Paragraph 5: “walked into history”.Paragraph 7: “The reality was a lot grittier”Paragraph 9: For the Curies, though, their triumph contained the seeds of their tragedy.Paragraph 10: "A cape of solitude and secrecy fell upon her shoulders forever."While the purpose of writing a biographical sketch or a biography isto present the major events that happen during the lifetime of the person concerned, it is also common for the writer to offer his/her own personal assessment. Madame Curie is recognized by the whole world as a renowned scientist, but she appeals to the author not just as a great scientist, but, perhaps more essentially, as a woman. This point is made clear in the sentence in the last paragraph: The Marie Curie that I discovered was no icon but a flesh-and-blood woman.Can you find some supporting evidence of this point in the introductory part of the text?Elaboration of this point is mainly found in the second paragraph of the text:Looking back, I think I admired that photo so much, not because of Marie Curie and what she stood for but because she seemed so exotic -- or maybe because of how her arms encircled her girls. My own mother lay in the hospital, recovering from a grave injury in a car crash. I wanted her to hold me, but she couldn't. So, instead, I idolized Marie, who in my mind became the strongest and most capable woman in the world.Language Work1. Explain the underlined part in each sentence in your ownother.5). stableNothing is fixed and permanently stable. There must be movement forward, which is progress of a sort, or movement backward, which is decay and deterioration.6). definingWorksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem.5. Rewrite the following sentences in such a way as to avoid dangling non-finite clauses.1). Reading in bed, my hands often get very cold.When I read in bed, my hands often get very cold.2).

Unit 5参考译文Text A空气中什么引起肺癌？许多人认为空气污染能会导致癌症，但是到目前为止仍缺少证据。
上个月，世界卫生组织的癌症分支—国际癌症研究会声称，空气污染是一种致癌因素。
尽管医生和其他人长期凭直觉地认为差的空气质量和恶性肿瘤有关系，但是几乎没有科学组织官方地承认这种关系。
也就是说，证据不足。
致癌因素这个新的名称是以发表在《柳叶刀肿瘤学》杂志上的大量分析资料为基础的。
“ESCAPE”（空气污染效应的欧洲队列研究）试验从九个欧洲国家中对312000余人进行了历时12年之久的随访登记资料中得到数据。
调查者用了几个模型来评估空气中颗粒的大小、类型、密度或者交通方式与肺癌患病的可能性之间的关系。
他们检查了可能混淆数据的社会和经济因素，比如每人的水果消费量、年龄、性别和教育水平，并且评估了吸烟习惯。
在研究群体中一共出现了2095例肺癌患者。
调查者发现，从一个人居所周围抽样得到的空气中颗粒物质的数量和患肺癌的可能性有明显的正相关。
他们还发现，一个人家周围的道路交通车流量和患肺癌的几率有较弱但是有统计学意义的关联。
哥伦比亚大学环境卫生科学的教授Regina Santella说：“这是一个很重要的陈述/观点？”。
她认为，国际癌症研究机构决定的不寻常之处是，它指的是总体的空气污染，而不是特指一种具体的化学物质或者毒素，“这样公众容易理解”。
Santella说：“确切地讲，空气中的物质每天都会变化，在同一城市和邻里之间它都会不同”。
这是一个复杂的问题，因为空气污染包括大量的化合物。
潜在的有害化学物质从城市里汽车、卡车、工业厂房和农村地区燃烧的树叶以及其他来源进入空气。
污染物不仅仅因化学成分而不同，也区别于他们的大小和进入下呼吸道的能力。
“比如，你可能想了解那些直径小于2.5微米的颗粒。
这些空气传播的微小物质是导致健康问题的主要因素，” Santella 如是说。
美国毒理学项目目前没有把空气污染列入肺癌和其他癌症的病因。
