课时作业(二十三) Unit 5 Section Ⅲ
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Everyone has their favourite Bond songs with the 007 movies offering so many different musical outings over the years from classic rock and pop to soul and even dance. Let us know in the comments.
Golden Eye — Tina Turner
Golden Eye (1995)
Golden Eye sees a catlike Turner wandering about throughout its sound stage, flashing her claws where necessary. Its sweeping arrangement and sentimental brass(感伤的铜管乐) contribute to a powerful vocal performance. The strings are mixed with horns that sound like a passing train. This is effortless singing from Turner and her amazing control is a joy to hear.
Tomorrow Never Dies — Sheryl Crow
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
This rock/pop little number has always felt rather clear to the listeners. It is a bit Bondaping (邦德式模仿) rather than creating something new all by itself, which is what it should ideally be aiming for. Crow gives it her all with her soft voice.
You Know My Name — Chris Cornell
Casino Royal (2006)
Right from the brilliantly exciting intro, the whole track just sounds so strong, as if it was chiseled (镌刻) out of the very finest stone. A lot of this is down to Chris Cornell's powerful and deeply rich voice. One of the greatest singers of his generation, he absolutely nails this track.
Writing's On The Wall — Sam Smith
Spectre (2015)
The title theme that most people can't actually remember. By all accounts, Sam Smith's Writing's On The Wall was written very quickly, and frankly, it shows. Far from being a terrible song, it just lacks basically everything that a Bond theme needs. Sure, it certainly feels empty.

Confucius, a famous teacher , was a politician and philosopher who lived in “Spring and Autumn Period”. During his lifetime, he planted the seeds for China's transformation by teaching thousands of people. Today, he is thought to be one of the world's greatest teachers.
Confucius grew up in a poor family. As he grew up, Confucius worked to help his mother earn money. When he wasn't working, he would read.His favorite thing to do was to learn. His mother saw this and did her best to help him learn. One day, rich families noticed how smart he was and offered him jobs counting their money and keeping track of their crops.
Confucius did this until he was 30 years old, but he always wanted to do more. He didn't like the way rulers treated their_subjects. He wanted to find a way to help people who were less fortunate than he was. Later, he founded the philosophy “Confucianism”. Confucianism states that by educating yourself, loving your family, and respecting tradition you could become a better person. Confucius believed a person could achieve these things by practicing selfdiscipline. For the rest of his life, Confucius traveled and taught the people of China about selfdiscipline and the importance of education. He even opened China's first school that taught both the poor and the wealthy as equals. Although he became very famous among China's lower classes, the rulers of China never accepted his teachings. Eventually, his philosophy of selfdiscipline helped China unite under one ruler and finally find peace. Today, Confucius is celebrated all over the world for his philosophy of education, equality, and peace over war, money, and injustice.

Five Daily Habits to Keep You Focused
and Healthy at College
Are you struggling to stay focused this semester? There is always something going on for college students, including school projects, time spent with friends, and extracurricular activities. Below are five essential daily habits that can keep you going strong at college.
Express Gratitude
One of the keys to happiness is to express gratitude for the things you have already accomplished.Things as small as enjoying delicious food with your friends and having access to higher education can be your starting points for this powerful daily habit. __1__
Get Enough Sleep
Sufficient sleep is a great way to maintain a focused and healthy lifestyle. Just like you set an alarm to wake up in the morning, try setting an alarm for yourself to go to sleep at night. One of my friends tried this. __2__ Try it and reap the benefits of improving your memory, creativity, and stamina.
Exercise
To boost your mental and physical strength, you should have a short workout every morning. __3__ But a 15 to 45minute daily workout will make a huge difference in your life. It is the key to starting a productive day. Workouts also help your sleep by promoting deeper and longer sleep.
Set Social Media Limits
__4__ However, excessive use of these can lead to depression. According to the BBC, recent research has found that young people who spend more than two hours on social media every day are more likely to report poor mental health. You should schedule a certain time each day to check your feed.
Take Control of Your Finances
You must gain control over your money. To cut costs, I recommend buying secondhand textbooks, cutting out junk food from your diet, and avoiding eating out at restaurants as much as possible. __5__ Besides, think about getting an oncampus job to earn some extra money.
