2.Interpreting Proverbs

1)All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.只工作不玩耍，聪明孩子也变傻。

If someone works too hard, they will not be able to think quickly.This proverb emphasizes

the importance of balancing work and relaxation.Too much work makes a person dull.But on the other hand, too much play makes a person good for nothing.2)Many hands make light work.人多好办事。

If there are many people working on a job, the job will be finished quickly and efficiently.For example, after a big dinner party, there are always a lot of dishes to wash and it is not a very interesting job – so with many people the work can be done quickly.Here the teacher may draw the students’ attention to another proverb – Too many cooks spoil the broth(厨师多了烧坏汤 — 意指一个人作主就够了)--meaning ―too many people doing the same thing will get in each other’s way and do a bad job‖.3)A bad workman always blames his tools.自己笨，怪刀钝。

Someone who cannot do their work well always blames their tools, rather than accepting

his/her own responsibility.This proverb is intended to satirize those who never find anything wrong with themselves.Instead, when any problem arises, they will blame others.3.Which Career Is the Right One for You?

deal with the complicated interpersonal relationships as one does while working in offices and companies.What I am required to do is only to take care of the plants which I love.4.1)G2)D3)B4)H5)I

three most important factors contributing to my job satisfaction.Even though we do not work to live, still, it’s a very realistic and materialistic world.Without money, we can do nothing.After we graduate, we have to repay our parents’ support for our education, to make their lives better.Second, we have to buy our own apartments.Very soon, perhaps we will have a child.How can we support the family? Only by working hard and earning a high salary.But of course, money is not my only pursuit.Career satisfaction also involves serving the society.I can derive a lot of pleasure from the fact that I can use my knowledge and ability to make

contributions to the society.So it’s a kind of win-win situation in my opinion.6.Are Summer Jobs Neceary?
