Today we shall take Unit 2: A Job Worth Doing. But first we have to find a job, that is, to hunt a job. Job hunting is the act of looking for employment. It is also known as job seeking. The immediate goal of job seeking is usually to obtain a job interview and ultimately a form of employment.The people in the pictures on page 11 are doing jobs of different types. What are you going to do in the future?Now go to page 12. Lets read about an unusual job. The man in the article is working as a traffic light or traffic signal. Do you think it strange? A traffic light or traffic signal is a signaling device positioned at a road intersection or pedestrian crossing to indicate when it is safe to drive, ride or walk, using a universal color code. Yes, this man is working as a signaling device, not for money but for helping people. Before you readPlease go over the word list for this module, paying attention to the pronunciation of the word, the relationship between its pronunciation and its spelling.While you readCut/ the sentences into thought groups, blacken the predicates, underline the useful expressions and darken the connectives.After you readCopy all the useful expressions into your Expression Book and make your own sentences with them.Expressions from: The Human Traffic Signalat 3，500 metres，the highest in the world, at high altitude, make difficult, in bad condition, in particular, be considered the most dangerous road in the world, on one side, rise steeply; on the other side, a sheer drop, in places, hundreds of metres deep, a lot of traffic, on average， come off the road, inside the vehicle, is lucky to survive.

Many roads are in bad condition and accidents are frequent. One road in particular, which goes north from La Paz, is considered the most dangerous road in the world. But thanks to one man，the death toll has fallen. Timoteo Apaza is a gentle46-year-old man who lives in a village near the most dangerous part of the roadTimoteo has an unusual job-he is a human traffic signal.Timoteo stands on the bend and directs the traffic. So why does he do it? He realised that it was his mission in life to help others. And so every morning, week in, week out, from dawn to dusk, Timoteo takes up his place on the bend and directs the traffic.第4课时Learning to read in English1. Pay attention when you read and read as if it really matters. PAY ATTENTIONPAY ATTENTION andPAY ATTENTION.2. Stop talking to yourself when you read. People talk to themselves in 2 ways, by:vocalizing, which is the actual moving of your lips as you read, and sub vocalizing, which is talking to yourself in your head as you silently read.3. Read in thought groups. Try to read in phrases of three or four words, especially in complete clauses and prepositional phrases. 4. Dont keep re-reading the same phrases. Poor readers habitually read and re-read the same phrase over and over again. 5. Vary your reading rate to suit the difficulty and type of writing of the text. Poor readers always read at the same slow rate. An efficient reader speeds up for easier material and slows down for the hard. Reading more about “Kinds of Jobs”What kinds of jobs do people do? Some that I have been interested in at various times. Artist I include artists in all media, including words, images, buildings, drama, dance and more. These people work with ideas and emotions as they are expressed in some kind of artifact, so let it include even the arts and crafts types who are usually sneered at by fine artists. I just dont have the vision to be much of an artist, although I have bursts of pretentiousness which make me want to be an artist of some kind. Whats annoying is that I will get an idea for a novel or a movie or a TV show but then it wont crystallize, and then I get bored with it. At the moment I am not responding very well to art. Something about abstraction is frustrating me, and it has a destructive effect on trying to invent imaginary worlds, events and characters. Ive never been much for visual arts, unless you count graphic arts.Designer A person who blends aesthetics with practical production: architectures, graphic artists and print designers, industrial designers and the like. Game designers, too, I guess. This is the sort of work I am probably most suited to, but I have found that because it needs some kind of practical impetus, it is difficult to come up with projects independently, at least for me. Also, I find that I have trouble seeing various design choices - finding the suitable one. One design job that used to really interest me, and which is really obscure, is typeface design. I got pretty interested in it as a teenager, but I just couldnt get into it full time. I think I was partly discouraged by my atrocious, left-handed penmanship. I am always in awe of skilled calligraphers. I used to spend hours and hours designing posters or just drawing words, but I could not paint them, so I would carefully construct the outlines and then fill them in.Technician A specialist in a technical field, usually related to the production or operation of some kind of specialized equipment. You get a lot of job titles that include engineer that are not engineers - those are technicians. Audio engineers, for example. It sounds fancier. I would make a great technician, because it requires fairly strict, but not absolute, conformance to rules of the domain. Equipment operation is readily benchmarked for efficiency, which my mechanical mind is pretty good at. However I have not acquired much in the way of technical knowledge in my life, since I fear the dangers of obsolescence. Information technology work is mostly a highfaluting kind of technician work, with a large base of theoretical knowledge. It lends itself to the bureaucratic mind, which is something that many people, myself included, find comforting. But it also lends itself to rigidness, which is not something I see as positive.Scientist The scariest calling - to extract the secrets of the universe, its function and its rules. It requires a kind of obsession which I do not have, and a love of nature, which I am generally half-hearted about, and a capability to invent, perform and document detailed experiments in order to discover properties of the test subject - and I hate experimentation. I figured this out right away in first year university. I think scientists are great and I like to learn about science (maybe not so much now as I used to), but this was a brief dream for me.Engineer Super-technician. Too nerve-wracking, because engineers make things that peoples lives depend on, like vehicles, buildings, electric grids, medical equipment and the like. While I would certainly derive pride from helping build a new and better orbital vehicle, thats pure fantasy. Engineering is all the worst parts of science and all the worst parts of design. I love what they make and, like scientists, I respect them immensely, but I do not have a brain for remembering rules and formulae. I would get people killed for sure.Analyst You know, like economists and financial analysts and accountants. I am sure there are analysts who do not work with money, but that seems to be the primary area. I never seriously considered anything in this realm, but I did think about it briefly once. I think that at least part of the skill set of an analyst is overlaps with that of other fields, since you have to be able to look at a system, understand it, and predict its behaviour in most technically-related work. But money and business systems are very abstract, almost virtual. Lately I am having a lot of trouble with anything abstract. Its all just turning into a haze of symbols.Clerk Yeah, no kidding, sometimes I miss just being the guy who tells you where it is on the shelf. Reliable, predictable, concrete, orderly, tactile, and comprehensible. A retail store is a nice static system. And I want to distinguish a clerk, who just facilitates a purchase, from a sales person, who attempts to encourage or invent the desire for a purchase. Clerks dont have stress and they dont make any money, usually not even enough to live on, unless they are at a fancier retailer like The Bay or Sears. There are all kinds of other jobs also called clerk but I have to admit I do not know anything about them. But they do have a nice, safe, routine tedium to comfort them when they feel like the world is turning upside down. Everybody needs some level of stability. Closing down by telling about your future jobId like to work asin the future.111Actress or ActorAmbassador/diplomatAnimatorArchaeologist Architect ArtistAstronomerAstronautBabysitter Basket ball playerBiologistBusiness/Economy Chef/cook ComputersCosmetologistCounselor DancerDentistDoctor ElectricianEngineer Farmer Fashion DesignerFirefighter Hairdresser Horse rider, etc.Interior decorator Interpreter/translatorJournalist/WriterLawyer/LegalMassage therapist Mechanic MilitaryModel Movie director Musician NaturalistNurse Photographer PilotPolicePresidentPriest PsychiatristPsychologist ScientistSkateboarderSingerSoccer player Social workerSportsperson Stewardess Stylist SurgeonTeacherTourismUnusual Jobs Veterinarian 111第5课时Additional MaterialsComplete the article with one word in each blank:La paz is the highest _1_ in the world.

(keys:1.capital2.condition3.death4.fallen5.works6.stands7.does 8.when 9.fell 10.survived11.realised12.help )Study the notes to the difficult sentences:1. One road in particular, which goes north from La Paz, is considered the most dangerous road in the world. 其中有一条路，从拉巴斯往北，被认为是世界上最危险的路。阅读或朗读时，considered后面有个停顿， the到句号是主语补语。带有宾语补语的动词变成被动语态后，原宾语变成了主语，宾语补语亦因而变成了主语补语。如：She was made angry? (她被惹得生气了。) He was elected President.? (他被选为总统。) What is the baby called? (这个婴儿叫什么?)2On one side the mountains rise steeply; on the other side there is a sheer drop, which in places is hundreds of metres deep. 一边，群山陡峭，另一边，悬崖直下，有 些地方深达几百英尺。On one side 和on the other side是相关并列连词，也是所谓“篇章衔接词语”。篇章中表示语义联系的语法和词汇手段有五类,构成不同类型的语义衔接。前者包括照应(reference) 、替代(substitution) 、省略(ellipsis) 、连接(conjunction) 和词汇衔接(lexical cohesion) 。后者则包括词汇重述( reiteration) 、同义( synonymy) 、下义( hyponymy) 和搭配( collocation)等。2. The drop is so great that anyone inside the vehicle is lucky to survive. 落差太大了，车里的人能死里逃生算是命大。sothat引导的是程度状语从句。它例如：He got up so early that he caught the first bus. It such a good chance that we must not miss it. To such an degree was he excited that he couldnt sleep last night.3. Timoteo has an unusual job-he is a human traffic signal. 铁穆特欧有一份不寻常的工作，他是人式形交通信号灯。a human traffic signal是名词短语作表语，是所谓“暗喻”用法。Metaphor (暗喻）：It is like a simile, also makes a comparison between two unlike elements, but unlike a simile, this comparison is implied rather than stated. For example, the world is a stage. 英语修辞还有：Figures of speech (修辞) ，Simile (明喻），Analogy (类比）Personification (拟人） Hyperbole (夸张） Understatement (含蓄陈述）Euphemism (委婉）Metonymy (转喻）Synecdoche (提喻）Antonomasia (换喻）Pun (双关语）Syllepsis (一语双叙）， Zeugma (轭式搭配）Irony (反语），Innuendo (暗讽），Sarcasm (讽刺）， Paradox (似非而是的隽语） Oxymoron (矛盾修饰），Antithesis (对照），Epigram (警句），Climax (渐进），Anti-climax or bathos (突降）， Apostrophe (顿呼），Transferred Epithet (转类形容词），Alliteration (头韵），Onomatopoeia (拟声）。4. And so every morning, week in, week out, from dawn to dusk, Timoteo takes up his place on the bend and directs the traffic. 因此，每天早上，一周又一周，从早到晚，铁穆特欧在拐角处站好位置，指挥交通。本句中的短语有：and so， every morning, week in, week out, from dawn to dusk, take up ones place， on the bend， direct the traffic。Answer the reading comprehension questions:1.
