UNIT 5 Reading and Thinking第五单元WORKING OUT WHA T YOU WANT TO DO弄清楚你想做什么As an adult，one of the first questions you are asked when meeting someone new is，“What do you do?”This is because your career is a very important part of who you are. The career you have defines your life，and so taking time to think about it is an essential exercise for young people.作为一个成年人，当你遇到一个新朋友时，你首先被问到的问题之一是，“你是做什么的？“这是因为你的职业是你的一个非常重要的组成部分。
你所从事的职业决定了你的生活，因此花时间思考对年轻人来说是一项必不可少的锻炼。
The best time to start thinking about possible careers is while you are still at school，before you make any choices about your further education. This，however，is not always easy. Some people know what they want to do from a young age，but many others just have a few ideas bouncing around in their heads.开始考虑可能的职业的最佳时机是在你还在学校的时候，在你对你的继续教育做出任何选择之前。
然而，这并不总是容易的。

THE CHINESE WRITING SYSTEM:CONNECTING THE PAST AND THE PRESENTChina is widely known for its ancient civilisation which has continued all the way through into modern times, despite the many ups and downs in its history. There are many reasons why this has been possible, but one of the main factors has been the Chinese writing system.At the beginning, written Chinese was a picture-based language. It dates back several thousand years to the use of longgu—animal bones and shells on which symbols were carved by ancient Chinese people. Some of the ancient symbols can still be seen in today’s hanzi.By the Shang Dynasty (around 1600-1046 BCE), these symbols had become a well-developed writing system. Over the years, the system developed into different forms, as it was a time when people were divided geographically leading to many varieties of dialects and characters. This, however, changed under Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221-207BCE).Emperor Qinshihuang united the seven major states into one unified country where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction. That writing system was of great importance in uniting the Chinese people and culture. Even today, no matter where Chinese people live or what dialect they speak, they can all still communicate in writing.Written Chinese has also become an important means by which China’s present is connected with its past. People in modem times can read the classic works which were written by Chinese in ancient times. The high regard for the Chinese writing system can be seen in the development of Chinese characters as an art form, known as Chinese calligraphy, which has become an important part of Chinese culture.Today, the Chinese writing system is still an important part of Chinese culture. As China plays a greater role in global affairs, an increasing number of international students are beginning to appreciate China’s culture and history through this amazing language.汉语书写体系：连接古今尽管历史跌宕起伏，中国因其古老文明一直延续至今而闻名于世。

Some of the first poems a young child learns in English are nursery rhymes. They are usually the traditional poems or folk songs. The language of these rhymes, like Poem A, is to the point but has a storyline. Many children enjoy nursery rhymes because they rhyme, have a strong rhythm, and often repeat the same words. The poems may not make sense and even seem contradictory, but they are easy to learn and recite. By playing with the words in nursery rhymes children learn about language.孩子们最早学习的英文诗是童谣。
Unit 5桑迪喜欢看音乐杂志。
她正在读一篇关于著名作曲家谭盾的文章。
下面是这篇文章。
音乐无国界在北京2008年奥运会上，每当奖牌颁发给比赛胜利者时，颁奖音乐随即就会响起。
这就是由谭盾作曲的。
谭盾是一位世界著名的作曲家。
谭盾，1958年出生于中国的湖南省。
他在浏阳河畔长大。
在他很小的时候，谭盾就表现出对音乐的兴趣。
他喜欢水流的声音，喜欢风吹的声音，对他来说，最好的音乐来自与大自然。
由于那时候他并没有乐器，所以他只能将最普通的石头和纸张最为乐器。
1978年，谭盾考上了北京的中央音乐学院。
8年后，他去美国继续深造。
在美国，他认识了来自世界各地的伟大音乐家。
作为一名作曲家，让他名声大噪的是他为电影卧虎藏龙制作的音乐获得了奥斯卡最佳音乐奖. 因为他喜欢来自大自然的声音，谭盾就在他的作品里大量使用这种自然之声。
他在作品《水》没有使用任何乐器，这令人吃惊。
通过控制水流的速度，谭盾从中获得了50多种声音。
“他们是自然的声音，这种声音在不同人的大脑里产生了不同的画面，”谭盾说。
谭盾已经在东方音乐和西方音乐之间架起了一座桥梁。
他将中国音乐和西方音乐成功地融合在一起。
在他为北京奥运会制作的音乐中，他使用了传统的中国音乐，以及中国古式大钟的声音，虽然它的形式采用的是西方音乐的形式。
“我的音乐梦想是没有边界的。
”谭盾曾经说道。
在他的作品中，无论是以前的，还是现在的；无论是用石头演奏的，还是用乐器演奏的；无论是中国古典音乐，还是西方现代音乐，他把这些元素都融合在一起，形成了新的音乐形式——没有国界的音乐。

她们不想一路乘飞机，她们决定飞到温哥华，再从西海岸乘火车横穿加拿大到达东海岸。
要横贯整个大陆的想法很是令人兴奋。
她们的朋友林丹尼在机场等候她们。
他要带着她们和行李到火车站乘坐横穿加拿大的真北方号列车。
在去火车站的路上，林丹尼聊起了她们的旅程：你们沿途将会看到美丽壮阔的风景。
向东一直走，你们会经过一座座山脉，上千个湖泊、森林，还有宽阔的河流和许多大城市。
有人想在不到五天的时间里横穿加拿大，他们忘了加拿大从东海岸到西海岸共有 5， 500 公里。
这儿，温哥华，是加拿大最温暖的地方。
人们说温哥华是加拿大最美丽的城市，被大山和太平洋环抱。
落基山可以滑雪，海港供你扬帆，这些使得温哥华成为加拿大最受欢迎的居住城市之一。
这个城市的人口增长很快。
1/ 5在温哥华北面的海岸上保存了最古老、最美丽的森林。
那儿的湿度很大，所以树都长得特别高，一些高达 90 多米。
那天下午表姐俩才登上了火车落了座。
火车先是穿越落基山脉，她们设法看到了野山羊，甚至还看到了一只大灰熊和一只鹰。
她们的下一站就是卡尔加里，这个城市因大西部赛马会而闻名。
来自世界各地的牛仔们来参加赛马会比赛。
他们中许多人都有骑野马的本领，他们能赢得几千美元的奖金。
两天以后，她们开始意识到加拿大人烟稀少。
他们在学校学过，大多数加拿大人定居在靠近美国几百英里的边境地带，加拿大的人口也就是三千万多一点儿。
但是现在看到这么空旷的国家，她们很惊讶。
火车穿过一个种植小麦的省份，她们看到了面积有数千英亩的农场。
