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 thejar 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 intothe open areas between the rocks. After that he poured some sand into bottle. The sand filled ineverything 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 representsour life. The rocks are the important things in our life, like our family, our health … things that would still remaineven 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 criticalto 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 tolive 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.

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.

We're studying Unit 5 in our Big Uni English Book, and it's all about "Culture Shock".So like, have you ever been to a new place and felt like everything was totally different from what you're used to? That's basically what culture shock is all about. It's like when you go to adifferent country and people are talking in a different language, eating strange food, or doing things in a way that you're not used to.In the unit, we learned all about the different stages of culture shock - like the "Honeymoon Stage" when everything is new and exciting, the "Frustration Stage" when you start getting annoyed with all the differences, and finally the "Adjustment Stage" when you start getting used to the new culture and feeling more comfortable.We also talked about some ways to cope with culture shock, like being open-minded, learning about the new culture, and trying new things. It's all about embracing the differences and making the most of your experience in a new place.So yeah, that's what we learned in Unit 5 today. It was pretty cool to learn all about culture shock and how to deal with it. I can't wait to travel to a new place and put all this new knowledge to use!篇3Title: My Thoughts on Unit 5 of College English Integrated Coursebook 2Hey guys! Today I want to share with you all about what I learned in Unit 5 of our College English Integrated Coursebook 2. This unit is all about “The Internet and Social Media”, which is super cool because we all love to use the internet, right?First off, the unit talks about the history of the internet and how it has changed our lives. Did you know that the internet was firs t invented in the 1960s? That’s way before we were even born! It’s crazy to think about how much it has grown since then.Next, we learned about social media and how it has become a big part of our daily lives. We talked about different social media pl atforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. It’s so fun to connect with friends and share photos and videos with them, isn’t it?But we also talked about the dangers of the internet and social media. We learned about cyberbullying and online scams, w hich are really important to be aware of. It’s so sad that some people use the internet to hurt others.Overall, I had a lot of fun learning about the internet and social media in Unit 5. It’s such a big part of our lives now, so it’s important to understand how to use it safely. I can’t wait to see what we learn next in our College English class!That’s all for now, see you next time! Bye!篇4Hey guys, have you ever wondered what it's like to study at university? Well, let me tell you all about it! In Unit 5 of our English textbook, we learned all about university life and the different subjects we can study.First of all, going to university is super cool because we get to choose what we want to study. There are so many subjects to choose from like English, Math, Science, History, and even Art! We can pick the subjects that we are really interested in and learn all about them.But going to university is not just about studying, it's also about making new friends and having fun. There are so many clubs and activities to join, like sports teams, drama clubs, and even cooking classes. It's a great way to meet new people and have a break from all the studying.One of the best things about university is that we get to live in dorms or apartments with our friends. We can decorate our rooms however we want and have sleepovers and movie nights whenever we feel like it. It's like having a big sleepover every night!So, if you ever get the chance to go to university, don't be scared because it's an amazing experience. You get to learn new things, make new friends, and have the time of your life. Just remember to study hard, have fun, and enjoy every moment of it!篇5Title: My Day at the UniversityHey guys! Today I wanna tell you all about my day at the university. It was super duper fun and I learned a lot of cool stuff!First off, in the morning, I had my English class. We learned about different types of writing and even did a fun activity where we had to write a short story. I wrote about a talking dog who went on an adventure to find his lost bone. It was so fun!After English class, I had math class. I know math can be super boring sometimes, but my teacher made it really interesting. We learned about fractions and played a game where we had to solve math problems to win points. I ended up winning a prize for getting the most answers right!For lunch, I had a yummy sandwich and some fruit in the cafeteria. I sat with my friends and we chatted about our classesand what we wanted to do after school. It was nice to relax and hang out with them.In the afternoon, I had a science lab. We got to do experiments with different chemicals and learn about how they react with each other. It was so cool to see the colors change and bubbles form. I felt like a real scientist!After my last class, I headed home feeling happy and excited for the next day at the university. I can't wait to learn even more new things and have more fun with my friends. University is the best!篇6Hey guys! Today, I wanna talk about Unit 5 in our English textbook. It's all about technology and how it affects our lives. So, let's dive in!First off, technology is everywhere nowadays. We use smartphones, tablets, and computers all the time. It's so cool how we can connect with people from all over the world with just a few clicks. But sometimes, I think we spend too much time on our devices. We need to remember to take breaks and spend time with our friends and family in person.Next, social media is a big part of technology. We use apps like Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok to share our life with others. It's fun to see what our friends are up to, but we need to be careful too. Not everything we see online is true, so we need to be smart about what we believe.Another thing to think about is how technology can help us learn. We can research any topic we're interested in, and there are so many educational apps and websites out there. We should take advantage of these tools to improve our knowledge and skills.In conclusion, technology is a powerful tool that can make our lives easier and more fun. But we also need to use it responsibly and remember to balance screen time with real-life activities. So, let's make the most of technology while also living our best lives offline. Thanks for listening, and keep learning!篇7Title: My Adventure in Unit 5 of College English Comprehensive CourseYo guys! Today, I wanna share with you all about my adventure in Unit 5 of our College English Comprehensive Course. It was like, totally awesome!So, first of all, we learned about different cultures and traditions from around the world. Like, did you know that in Japan they have this crazy festival called Hanami where they celebrate the beauty of cherry blossoms? And in India, they have this super cool festival called Holi where they throw colored powders at each other? It was so rad learning about all these cool traditions!Next, we had to read this article about climate change and how it's affecting the planet. It was kinda scary to think about how our actions can impact the environment, but it was also really important to learn about it so we can try to make a difference.Then, we had this super fun group project where we had to create a presentation about a famous historical figure. My group chose Rosa Parks and it was so cool to learn about her and how she fought for civil rights. We even dressed up as her for our presentation!Overall, Unit 5 was like, the bomb dot com! I learned so much cool stuff and had a blast doing it. Can't wait to see what adventures await in the next unit! Peace out!篇8Hello everyone, I'm a primary school student and today I want to talk about the topic of Unit 5 in College English Integrated Course 2!Unit 5 is all about technology and how it affects our lives. Technology is super cool, right? We can use smartphones to play games, watch videos, and even chat with our friends. But it also has some bad sides, like making us spend too much time on screens and forgetting to go outside and play.In this unit, we learned about different types of technology, like computers, tablets, and robots. We also talked about how technology can help us in different ways, like making our lives easier and connecting us with people from all over the world.One thing I found super interesting is how technology can be used to solve problems. For example, scientists use technology to study the environment and find ways to protect the Earth. It's amazing how something as simple as a computer can help us save the planet!I think it's important to learn about technology and how to use it wisely. We should remember to balance our screen time with real-life activities, like playing outside and spending time with our families. Technology is great, but we should alwaysremember to use it in a way that benefits us and the world around us.That's all for today! I hope you enjoyed my little talk about Unit 5. Thanks for listening!篇9Hello everybody, I'm here to tell you about my experience in unit 5 of the College English Integrated Course 2. This unit is all about dreams and goals, and it really got me thinking about what I want to achieve in life.First of all, we learned about setting goals and making plans to achieve them. I realized that it's important to have a clear idea of what I want to accomplish and to break it down into smaller steps. For example, I want to become a doctor in the future, so I need to study hard in school, get good grades, and go to medical school. It seems like a long way off, but I know that if I work hard and stay focused, I can make it happen.We also talked about the importance of staying positive and never giving up on our dreams. Sometimes things might not go as planned, but it's important to stay determined and keep pushing forward. I know that there will be challenges along theway, but I believe that I can overcome them and achieve my goals.Overall, I really enjoyed learning about dreams and goals in unit 5. It's inspired me to work even harder and keep striving towards my dreams. I know that with determination and perseverance, I can make my dreams a reality. So, don't be afraid to dream big and never give up on your goals! Keep pushing forward and you'll be amazed at what you can achieve. Thank you for listening to my little story, and I hope you feel inspired to chase your own dreams too!篇10Title: My Thoughts on Unit 5 of College English Comprehensive Course 2Hey guys! Today I want to talk to you about Unit 5 of College English Comprehensive Course 2. This unit is all about technology and how it impacts our lives. It’s super interesting!First, we learned about the benefits of technology, like how it helps us communicate with people from all over the world. We can send messages instantly and have video calls with our friends and family. It’s so cool!But there are also some drawbacks to technology. We talked about how it can be addictive and distracting. I know sometimes I spend too much time on my phone instead of doing my homework. Oops!We also learned about the importance of being safe online. We have to be careful about what we share on social media and who we talk to. It’s important to protect our personal information.Overall, I think technology is pretty great, but we have to use it responsibly. We should set limits on our screen time and be mindful of how we use it. It’s important to find a balance between being online and spending time in the real world.That’s all for now! Thanks for listening to my thoughts on Unit 5. Bye!。

(阅读理解题)Using a public telephone may well be one of the minor irritations of life, demanding patience, determination and a strong possibility of failure, together on occasion with considerable unpopularity.The hopeful caller (shall we call him George?) waits till six o’clock in the evening to take advantage of the so-called “cheap rates” for a long-distance call. The telephone box, with two broken panes of glass in the side, stands at the junction of two main roads with buses, lorries and cars roaring past. It is pouring with rain as George joins a queue of four depressed-looking people. Time passes slowlyand seems to come to a standstill while the person immediately before George carries on an endless conversation, pausing only to insert another coin every minute or so.Eventually the receiver is replaced and the caller leaves the box. George enters and picks up one of the directories inside, only to discover that someone unknown has torn out the very page he needs. Nothing for it but to dial directory Enquiries, wait patiently for a reply down the number given.At last George can go ahead with his call. Just as he is starting to dial, however, the door opens and an unpleasant-looking face peers in with the demand, “Can’t you hurry up?” Ignoring such barbarity, George continues to dial and his unwanted companion withdraws. At last he hears the burr-burr of the ringing tone, immediately followed by rapid pips demanding his money, but he is now so upset that he knocks down the coins he has placed ready on the top of the box. Having at last located them, he dials again: the pips are repeated and he hastily inserts the coins. A cold voice informs him, “Grand Hotel, Chalfont Wells.”“I’ve an urgent message for a Mr. Smith who is a guest in your hotel. Could you put me through to him? I’m afraid I don’t know his room number.”The response appears less than enthusiastic and a long long silence follows. George inserts more coins. Then the voice informs him, “I’ve been trying to locate Mr. Smith but the hall porter reports having seen him leave about a minute ago.”Breathing heavily, George replaces the receiver, just as the knocking on the door starts again.5.

( 单选题 ) St. Valentine’s Day is a holiday for __________. (本题0.0分)A、people celebrating the new year’s comingB、 people fooling othersC、 people getting a family reunionD、 people expressing love to their lovers学生答案：D标准答案：D解析：得分：010. (阅读理解题)February 14th is a complicated but interesting holiday. First of all, St. Valentine’s Day is not a holiday from work. No one gets a day off. On Valentine’s Day people usually send romantic cards to someone they love or want to be loved by. The cards are called “valentines”. They are very colorful, often decorated with hearts, flowers, or birds, and have humorous or sentimental verses printed inside. The basic message of the verse is always “Be My Valentine”, “Be My Sweet Heart” or “Lover”.A valentine is often anonymous, or sometimes signed “Guess who”. The person receiving it has to guess who sent it. This can lead to interesting speculation. And that’s half the fun of valentines.One of the symbols of St. Valentine’s Day is the Roman god of Love, called Cupid. Cupid is often printed on the card; he is a winged infant, not wearing anything, poised to shoot his arrow into a heart. He would shoot an arrow of love into a person’s heart to make the person fall in love immediately, maybe with the first person to come along. Sometimes one arrow would go through two hearts, holding them together. So on February 14th not only do we have pictures of the Christian St. Valentine but we also have pictures of the non-Christian Cupid, the Roman god of Love. But it is from the Christians that we get the stories about St. Valentine’s Day that most people have come to believe. One story is about a Christian man whose name sounded something like “Valentine.”He lived around AD 250. At that time the Roman Emperor, Claudius II, refused to allow any Roman soldiers to get married for any reason whatsoever. Christian couples came to Valentine to be married. So Valentine would marry them in a Christian way. He was discovered and put in prison by the Emperor. One tradition says that he wrote notes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out the window of his prison. And the leaves were shaped like a heart.11.

( 单选题 ) Thanksgiving Day is originally celebrated by people for __________. (本题0.0分)A、 healthB、 freedomC、 harvestD、 safety学生答案：C标准答案：C解析：得分：016. (阅读理解题)Thanksgiving is celebrated every year on the fourth Thursday of November. The month of November is in autumn, the main season for harvesting crops.The writer O. Henry called Thanksgiving the one holiday that is purely American. It is not a religious holiday. But it has spiritual meaning.Thanksgiving began with the first European settlers in America. They gathered their crops, celebrated and gave thanks for the food.Tradition says Pilgrim settlers from England celebrated the first Thanksgiving in 1621. There is evidence that settlers in other parts of America held earlier Thanksgiving celebrations. But the Pilgrims’ Thanksgiving story is the most popular.The Pilgrims were religious dissidents who fled oppression in England. They went first to the Netherlands. Then they left that country to establish a colony in North America. The Pilgrims landed in 1620 in what later became known as Plymouth, Massachusetts.Their voyage across the Atlantic Ocean was difficult. Their first months in America were difficult, too. About one hundred Pilgrims landed just as autumn was turning to winter. During the cold months that followed, about half of them died.When spring came, the Pilgrims began to plant crops. An American Indian named Squanto helped them. When summer ended, the Pilgrims had a good harvest of corn and barley. There was enough food to last through the winter.The Pilgrims decided to hold a celebration to give thanks for their harvest. Writings from that time say Pilgrim leader William Bradford set a date late in the year.He invited members of a nearby Indian tribe to take part. There were many kinds of food to eat. The meal included wild birds such as ducks, geese and turkeys. That thanksgiving celebration lasted three days.As the American colonies grew, many towns and settlements held thanksgiving or harvest celebrations.17.

(阅读理解题)The writers of murder stories go to a great deal of trouble to keep us guessing right up to the end. In actual fact, people often behave more strangely in real life than they do in stories.The following advertisement once appeared in a local newspaper: “An opportunity to earn $250 in a few minutes. A man who is willing to take chances is wanted for an out-of-the-ordinary job which can be performed only once.” A reader found this offer very generous and applied to the advertiser, but a bit suspicious, he gave a false name. Soon afterwards, he received a reply. Enclosed in the envelope was a typed note instructing him to ring a certain number if he was still interested.He did so and learnt on the telephone that the advertiser wanted him to “get rid of somebody” and would discuss it more fully with him next day. But the man told the police and from then on acted under their instructions. The police saw the two men meet and watched them as they drove away together. In the car the advertiser came to the point at once: he told the man he wanted him to shoot his wife. The reason he gave was that he was suffering from an incurable disease and wanted to live in a warmer country, but his wife objected to this. Giving the man some money, the advertiser told him to buy a gun and warned him to be careful of the dog which, though it would not bite, might attract attention. He also gave him a photograph of his wife so that he would be able to recognize her. After that, the advertiser suggested that the man should “do the job” next morning. Meanwhile, he would prepare his wife by telling her that a young man was going to call. After the murder, they would meet again outside a railway station and the money would be paid as arranged. The second meeting never took place, for the advertiser was arrested shortly afterwards and charged with attempting to persuade someone to murder his wife.37.

In other places the customer may be expected to give a tip, or a small amount of money, as a sign of appreciation whenever services are performed. In the United States there is no consistent practice with regard to tipping. The practice is more common in a large city than in a small town.A Native American may often be in doubt about when and how much to tip when he is in a city that is strange to him. In general, however, a tip is expected by the porter who carries you baggage, by taxi drivers (except, perhaps, in small towns), and by those who serve you in hotels and restaurants.When you pick up your incoming luggage at an airport, you may tip the man who takes it to the taxi or airport bus. He usually expects 35 cents a bag for his service. In some cities the taxi that takes you to your hotel may have one meter that shows the cost of the trip and another that shows a fixed charge, usually about 20 cents, for “extra”. In some cities the taxi driver may expect a tip in addition to the “extra”, especially if he carries your suitcase. If no “extra” is charged, a tip is usually given. Hotels usually do not have a service charge, though there are places where one is added. It is customary, however, to give something to the porter who carries yoursuitcases and shows you to your room. If in doubt, 25 cents for each bag he carries is satisfactory. In a restaurant yougenerally leave about 15 percent of the bill in small change on the table as a tip for the person who has served you. A service charge is generally not included except in some of the larger, more expensive places. If the order is small —a cup of coffee at a lunch counter, or something of the sort —a tip is not usually expected.According to the passage, a tip is ____________ for personal services.所选答案： C. a sign of appreciation问题 A Native American ____________.所选答案： D. knows a lot about tipping问题 The word “one ” in Line 7, Paragraph 2, refers to ____________.所选答案： D. service charge问题If a porter carries three pieces of baggage for you, you are expected to give him ____________as a tip.所选答案： C. 1 dollar问题 We can learn from the passage that____________.所选答案： A. people sometimes do not tip when they are not satisfied。
