You will think you are a mean person.3) Long-term happiness is based on honesty , and productive work, contribution, and self-esteem.4) If your happiness depends on external circumstances , you will always feel unfulfilled because there will always be something missing .Read and ExploreTask One Discovering the Main Ideas1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) Why did the author bring the news story about T ed Turner to Morrie? Because he wondered how Morrie would r eact to Ted Turner’s failure in―snatching up the CBS network‖. At the same time he wanted to know if T ed Turner would still lament his failure if he were stricken down by the same terminal disease as Morrie was suffering from.2) What problem did Morrie think Ted Turner actually had?His problem was a typical one that Americans all have: Americans tend to value the wrong things.3) Who paid a visit to Morrie the night before? And how did he feel about it?A local acappela group came to visit him. He showed an intense interest in their musical performance and felt excited.4) What did material things mean to Morrie?They held little or no significance to him, especially at a time when he knew his days were numbered. He seemed to know the expression ―You can’t take it with you‖ a long time ago.5) According to Morrie, what are Americans brainwashed into believing? What do they expect from material things?They are brainwashed into believing that it is good to own things. Actually, they are hungry for gentleness, tenderness or for a sense of comradeship and, therefore, they desperately seek after material things as substitutes.6) Does the author think that Morrie was rich? Why or why not?Morrie was far from better off in material things, but he was wealthy in spiritual ways. For years, Morrie hadn’t bought anything new —except medical equipment. And his bank account was rapidly depleting. But he was rich in love, friendship, caring and he derived plenty of satisfaction and gratification from teaching, communication, and such simple pleasures as singing, laughing, and dancing.7) What did Morrie suggest that we should do to find a meaningful life?He advised us to devote ourselves to loving others, to our community around us, and to creating something that gives us purpose and meaning. In other words, if we want to find a meaningful life, we should be ourselves and never show off either for people at the top or for people at the bottom. Instead, we should be kind and candid and ready to offer others what we have to give.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 1–3 The author brought Ted Turner’s news story to Morrie f or his opinion.Two 4–9 Morrie explained that Ted Turner’s problem was caused by the endlessly repeated stress on the significance of material things.Three 10–14 In order to get happiness, people are trying to substitute material things for love or tenderness, and they fail to distinguish what they want from what they really need in life.Four 15–30 The way to get satisfaction is to offer with an open heart to others what you have to give: devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.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) The night before, he had been entertained by a local acappella group that had come to the house to perform, and he relayed the story excitedly, as if the Ink Spots themselves had dropped by for a visit. (Para.5)What Morrie really cared about was spiritual gratification. Even the performance of the local acappella group, whose performance was by no means professional, could give him as much excitement and gratification as the famous Ink Spots would have.2) He would listen to opera sometimes at night, closing his eyes, riding along with the magnificent voices as they dipped and soared. (Para. 5)Sometimes at night he would indulge himself in listening toopera, feeling intoxicated and gratified. Though he was not rich in material things and was suffering from an incurable disease, he spent each day happily.3) The average person is so fogged up by all this, he has no perspective on what?s really important anymore. (Para. 8) As the average person has been brainwashed into believing that material things alone could bring happiness, he or she has lost the ability to think about and decide what is really important in life.4) And then they wanted to tell you about it. …Guess what I got? Guess what I got?? (Para. 9)The repetition of ―Guess what I got?‖ shows the speaker’s uncontrollable excitement and gratification at gobbling up something new.5) Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone. (Para. 23)If you want to be accepted equally and respectably by people both at the top and at the bottom, you must be open-hearted instead of showing off your social status. In other words, you must be yourself, feel free in expressing your real thoughts, opinions, and feelings, be candid and ready to offer others what you have to give.Checking Your VocabularyWord Detective1 Put down the right word from Text B in the space provided according to the given definition.

Over time, we get bored with the thing we’ve got.2) What is the difference between material happiness and spiritual happiness? Material happiness is derived from our purchasing power while spiritual happiness means something else altogether, like good friends, a loving spouse, well-raised children, a home built on love, a clear conscience, a worthy goal and a satisfying job. Such things bring us contentment that lasts and has meaning.3) What is the philosophy of the author’s friend?His philosophy is: No matter how much money you make, you always want more. So, one should break free from this cycle and find time to do what he wants.4) What are the ―scales‖ by which we can measure wealth according to the author?The author lists seven ―scales‖ by which we can measure wealth: friends, health, strength, family, knowledge, skill and character.5) What is special about those different types of wealth thatis not measured in dollars?They are not taxed.6) What can bring you lasting and meaningful happiness?They are good friends, a loving spouse, well-raised children, a home built on love, a clear conscience, a worthy goal and a job you truly enjoy. All these things can bring us lasting and meaningful happiness.7) How can we find lasting happiness?Take a look at the world around you and think about what it is that you enjoy and what makes you truly happy.2 Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say in the following sentences.1) Excellence has its own rewards. (Para. 7)If you excel in the skill you practice daily, you will get a sense of achievement and pride, which will bring you lasting happiness.2) Presumably, knowledge is the one thing you might be able to take with you to Heaven. (Para. 8)If money or anything else has brought you some happiness in life, you have to give it up when you die. But it is not true of knowledge, because the contentment and happiness that knowledge brings might be with you forever even when you die.3) These things are often quite beyond the simple-minded teenagers, but as you mature these things become more important. (Para. 9)We only appreciate such things when we are older, and not as thoughtless teenagers.4) Think about what it is that you enjoy and what makes you truly happy. (Para.10)Try to find out what really makes your life enjoyable andmeaningful. Then you will understand what is most important in life and what is meant by happiness.5) Man does not live by bread alone. (Para. 10)Material happiness is not the only happiness we need.

动物观察日记15篇动物观察日记1这个国庆节,妈妈又给我买了一只小白兔。

这只小白兔很小很小,远看就像一个小白团,所以我给他起名叫“小团子”。

爸爸说小团子是一只刚出生不久的小白兔。

妈妈很讨厌小动物,所以抚养小团子的任务就抱在我、爸爸和弟弟的身上了。

我每天都会把小团子的一举一动记录下来。

下面便是我记录的七天:1--3天小团子刚来到这个新家,对这里的一切都很陌生。

它每天不吃不喝,就躲在笼子的一角。

可是一把它放在草地上,它就立马有精神了,直往外跑,好像是要躲开我一样,害的我还要跟在它_后面跑,累死我了。

3--5天渐渐地,小团子开始熟悉这个新家了,但胆子还是很小,就连一个小皮球都能把它吓得撒腿就跑。

它最害怕弟弟的手了,在小团子的眼里,弟弟的手就像地狱里的魔爪一样恐怖。

因为弟弟还小不会抱小白兔,要么把揪它的耳朵把他拎起来,要么拽它的后腿把它拉起来,要么掐住它的脖子把它提起来。

而且弟弟从来不把小团子放在地上,还把它从高空抛到地上。

幸好小团子这样的经历不多,要不然小命就难保了。

5--7天小团子的胆子越来越大了,都敢跑到厨房偷吃蔬菜了小团子也懂事了许多,到草地上,也不乱跑了。

小团子和我们也越来越亲近了。

这几天,小团子的胃口突然大了起来,以前,一顿几片大叶子就足够了,现在,一顿一笼子的叶子都不够它吃,它每天还有一根胡萝卜做晚饭。

它以前只吃叶子和草,现在它连柚子、饼干都吃了。

它还经常咬弟弟的鞋子,就连纸杯它都吃过几口呢。

这几天,小团子除了吃,就是玩,跟属兔的弟弟还挺像的。

小团子每天都在成长,可是马上国庆小长假就要过去了,我和弟弟要去上学,爸爸要上班,妈妈又讨厌小兔子,真不知道小团子以后的日子该怎么过?动物观察日记2春节前,爸爸给我买了两只小乌龟。

一个叫高高,一个叫兴兴。

我之所以给它俩起这个名字,是因为我希望它们每天都高高兴兴的生活。

小乌龟刚买回来时,我和妈妈不大了解它们的生活习性,把它们的“家”安在盛有少许水和几个小石头的小鱼缸里。

The diary brought back every moment George had spent with his father and many of the specific things his father did on his behalf. George's father used to impress on him the need to undergo all kinds of hardship in quest of excellence. He also taught him that nothing in the world could be taken for granted. Even today, George still remembers how his father would quote Aesop's famous saying "Gratitude is the sign of noble souls" and tell him to accord the greatest importance to it.Chinese Translations of Texts A&B第五单元表达意课文A亚历克斯?黑利二战时在海岸警卫队服役。

A) beginningB) processC) unattainable goalD) business of the community4) The passage is mainly about ________.A) the secret to happiness B) the definition of happinessC) the misunderstanding of happinessD) the relationship between happiness and wealthTask Two Zooming In on the DetailsListen to the recording again and fill in the blanks according to what you have heard.1) The world is full of very rich people who are as miserable as if they wereliving in hell .2) If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means , you will not be happy with it. You will think you are a mean person.3) Long-term happiness is based on honesty , and productive work, contribution, and self-esteem.4) If your happiness depends on external circumstances , you will always feel unfulfilled because there will always be something missing .Read and ExploreTask One Discovering the Main Ideas1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) Why did the author bring the news story about Ted Turner to Morrie?Because he wondered how Morrie would react to Ted Turner’s failure in�Dsnatching up the CBS network‖. At the same time he wanted to know if Ted Turner would still lament his failure if he were stricken down by the same terminal disease as Morrie was suffering from.2) What problem did Morrie think Ted Turner actually had?His problem was a typical one that Americans all have: Americans tend to value the wrong things.3) Who paid a visit to Morrie the night before? And how did he feel about it?A local acappela group came to visit him. He showed an intense interest in their musical performance and felt excited.4) What did material things mean to Morrie?They held little or no significance to him, especially at a time when he knew his days were numbered. He seemed to know the expression �DYou can’t take it with you‖ a long time ago.5) According to Morrie, what are Americans brainwashed into believing? What do they expect from material things?They are brainwashed into believing that it is good to own things. Actually, they are hungry for gentleness, tenderness or for a sense of comradeship and, therefore, they desperately seek after material things as substitutes.6) Does the author think that Morrie was rich? Why or why not?Morrie was far from better off in material things, but he was wealthy in spiritual ways. For years, Morrie hadn’t bought anything new ― except medical equipment. And his bank account was rapidly depleting. But he was rich in love, friendship, caring and he derived plenty of satisfaction and gratification from teaching, communication, and such simple pleasures as singing, laughing, and dancing.7) What did Morrie suggest that we should do to find a meaningful life?He advised us to devote ourselves to loving others, to our community around us, and to creating something that gives us purpose and meaning. In other words, if we want to find a meaningful life, we should be ourselves and never show off either for people at the top or for people at the bottom. Instead, we should be kind and candid and ready to offer others what we have to give.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�C3 The author brought Ted Turner’s news story to Morrie for his opinion.Two 4�C9 Morrie explained that Ted Turner’s problem was caused by the endlessly repeated stress on the significance of material things.Three 10�C14 In order to get happiness, people are trying to substitute material things for love or tenderness, and they fail to distinguish what they want from what they really need in life.Four 15�C30 The way to get satisfaction is to offer with an open heart to others what you have to give: devote yourself to loving others, devoteyourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.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) The night before, he had been entertained by a local acappella group that had come to the house to perform, and he relayed the story excitedly, as if the Ink Spots themselves had dropped by for a visit. (Para.5) What Morrie really cared about was spiritual gratification. Even the performance of the local acappella group, whose performance was by no means professional, could give him as much excitement and gratification as the famous Ink Spots would have.2) He would listen to opera sometimes at night, closing his eyes, riding along with the magnificent voices as they dipped and soared. (Para. 5)感谢您的阅读,祝您生活愉快。

贾维斯深爱的母亲于1905年去世,从这年开始她就积极开展活动,要让母亲节成为美国的正式节日。

经过安娜·贾维斯的努力,1914年伍德罗·威尔逊总统签署公告设立母亲节,使它成为一个向母亲致敬的全国性节日。

尽管贾维斯成功地创立了母亲节,但是母亲节的商业化很快就让她感到了不满。

到了20世纪20年代初,很多公司开始出售母亲节贺。

贾维斯对这种在她看来是误解和开发利用母亲节的行为感到痛心,她提出抗议甚至试图要废除母亲节。

这个节日的初衷是让大家向母亲表示感谢和敬意,采取的形式应该是写亲笔信传达爱意和感激,而不是通过买礼物和贺卡这样的方式。

贾维斯创立的这个节日现在已经是全球性的节日。

不同的国家庆祝母亲节的日期有所不同。

在很多国家,例如澳大利亚、加拿大和美国,人们庆祝母亲节的日子是五月的第二个星期天7The Spring Festival is the most important traditional holiday in China. But in recent years, many people have complained that the celebratory atmosphere of lunar New Year is not as strong as it used to be, and it is hard for them to regain that wonderful feeling in their memories. In fact, in the past, it was only during the Spring Festival that people could enjoy delicious food and wear new clothes. This explains why this holiday was so important to Chinese people. But with the rapid development of the Chinese economy and an increasingly rich material life, the ways in which Chinese people celebrate the Spring Festival have changed. For instance, more and more Chinese people choose to travel during the Spring Festival. Nonetheless, for Chinese people, the Spring Festival plays an irreplaceable role in their culture.Reading across cultures11 On November 1st and 2nd.2 At cemeteries and graveyards.3 Ancient indigenous peoples of Mexico believed that the souls of the dead returned each year to visit living relatives.4 It varies from town to town. People build altars in their homes, prepare food, get candles and incense ready, and prepare costumes etc.5 Candies and “bread of the dead.”6No, but they bring offerings to the graces.7Yes, people ring the bells all night, and the mood is joyful rather than sad.8People dance in colorful costumes and skull-shaped-masks.21 The Day of the Dead is more party-like and religious. The atmosphere of Qingming Festival is more serious and solemn. People pray for their ancestors at the graveyards, sweep the tombs and offer food, wine and paper accessories.2 When Chong Er, a prince of the state of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period, was in hiding from the persecution, his life was saved by the loyal official Jie Zitui, who cut off the flesh from his thigh and offered it to the prince for sustenance. Later, Chong Er became king and forgot the lessons he should have learned from his days of hardship. Jie Zitui refused to serve him. To force Jie Zitui down from the mountain where he lived with his mother, Chone Er had the site set on fire. The faithful official and his mother were burned to death. Full of regret, Chong Er made the day a memorial one on which people would only eat cold food.3 The all-night party in the cemetery and the skull-shaped candies. They seem more like a comic horror movie than a real festival.4 The idea of celebrating people’s lives with joy is a very nice one.5 I think Qingming Festival and Spring Festival are still family festivals full of traditional meaning. I am not sure Dragon Boat Festival means much to many people today. It is perhaps more fun than a tradition for us.Guided Writing11 Labor Day was first celebrated in the US in 1882 in New York. It was an attempt to honor working people and the contributions of their unions.2 Bastille Day, a celebration of the French Revolution and the destruction of the old royal prison in 1789, has been celebrated throughout France as a national holiday since 1880.3 Marin Luther King Day celebrates the life and work of a Civil Rights leader who was killed in 1968. The holiday became a national one in the States in 1986.4 Carnival is a centuries-old European festival marked by merrymaking and feasting held just before Lent, a period of fasting and self-discipline.21 It was Christmas Eve and people swarmed the streets in a desperate search for last-minute gifts. All of a sudden snowflakes started falling.2 My coach pulled into New Orleans and I descended with my head full of visions of the Mardi Gras I was about to see for myself.3 As the old year approaches its end, Trafalgar Square becomes packed with people bursting with excitement to hear the chimes of Big Ben and celebrate the start of the New Year.4 The urge to get home for the Spring Festival is so strong that people squeeze themselves into every possible space on the trains.31 The writer understands that his father has had a lifelong impact upon him.2 Here, the writer realizes that his father loves him, because he does not want to wake him up so early in the morning.3 The writer is pleased with himself for arranging the surprise for his father.4 The writer realizes how hard his father has had to work and the sacrifices he has made.。
