  1. Time to Take It Easy 1-1 Section One: Pre-reading Activities Section Two: Global Reading Section Three: Detailed Reading Section Four: Consolidation Activities Section Five: Further Enhancement I. Read aloud Read aloud Read the following passage aloud, making a pause between sense groups. Audiovisual supplements El Dorado By Robert L. Stevenson It seems as if a great deal were attainable in a world/ where there are so many marriages and decisive battles,/ and where we all,/ at certain hours of the day,/ and with great gusto and dispatch,/ stow a portion of victuals/ finally and irretrievably into the bag/ which contains us./ And it would seem also,/ on a hasty view,/ that the attainment of as much as possible/ was the one goal of man’s contentious life./ And yet,/ as regards the spirit,/ this is but a semblance./ We live in an ascending scale/ where we live happily,/

Time to Take It Easy 1-3 Section One: Pre-reading Activities Section Two: Global Reading Section Three: Detailed Reading Section Four: Consolidation Activities Section Five: Further Enhancement and to those who have neither art nor science,/ the world is a mere arrangement of colors,/ or a rough footway/ where they may very well break their shins./ It is in virtue of his own desires and curiosities/ that any man continues to exist with even patience,/ that he is charmed by the look of things and people,/ and that he wakens every morning/ with a renewed appetite for work and pleasure./ Desire and curiosity are the two eyes/ through which he sees the world in the most enchanted colors:/ it is they that make women beautiful or fossils interesting;/ and the man may squander his estate and come to beggary,/ but if he keeps these two amulets/ he is still rich in the possibilities of pleasure.

Audiovisual supplements Film episode: American Beauty Read aloud Questions: Audiovisual supplements 1. What is the relationship between the two men? And what are they talking about? 2. Why does Les become so angry? Answers for reference: 1. They are employer and employee. Brad is trying to explain to Les the cutbacks in personnel. And he wants Les to write a report in order to assess his job. 2. Because Brad is going to make some cutbacks in personnel. Les has served for this magazine for 14 years, nevertheless, he still has the chance to be fired.

Oh, sure. Times are tight. You got to free up some cash. You got to spend money to make money. Right? Exactly. Like the time that Mr. Flournoy used the company MasterCard to pay for that hooker, and she used the card numbers and stayed at the St. Regis for, what was it, three months? That’s unsubstantiated gossip. That’s $50,000. That’s somebody’s salary. That’s somebody who’s going to get fired because Craig has to pay women to fuck him! Read aloud Audiovisual supplements

I mean, calm down. Nobody’s getting fired yet. That’s why we’re having everyone write out a job description mapping out in detail how they contribute. That way management can assess who’s valuable ... And who’s expendable. It’s just business. I’ve been writing for this magazine for 14 years. Brad, you’ve been here how long? A whole month? I’m one of the good guys, Les. I’m trying to level with you. This is your one chance to save your job. Read aloud Audiovisual supplements

  8. Time to Take It Easy 2-1 Section One: Pre-reading Activities Section Two: Global Reading Section Three: Detailed Reading Section Four: Consolidation Activities Section Five: Further Enhancement I. Text analysis In this text, the author tells us different attitudes about leisure and work, and analyzes the cause underlying the American attitude towards work. By introducing the topic of how to view the problem of leisure and work, Professor Gini explains the true meaning of “being lazy” — to take it easy.

Structural analysis Text analysis Paragraphs 1 – 2 — a sharp contrast between busy Americans and easygoing continental Europeans Structural analysis Cultural background Paragraphs 3 – 4 — one of the main differences between busy Britons and Americans and easygoing Europeans Paragraph 5 — the need to re-examine the American attitude to work

  11. Time to Take It Easy 2-3-1 Section One: Pre-reading Activities Section Two: Global Reading Section Three: Detailed Reading Section Four: Consolidation Activities Section Five: Further Enhancement III. Cultural background Text analysis Al Gini, a philosopher and radio commentator, notes that when responding to the question “How are you?” people usually respond with some form of “I am so busy!” This signals a distressing trend — we are so harried and hurried that we have no time for the things that truly matter and must be done slowly, such as sex, conversation, taking a leisurely stroll in nature, listening to what someone else is saying, relaxing at a concert, or just doing nothing. The world of multitasking and hyperactivity exhausts us and leaves us feeling listless. Structural analysis Cultural background

  12. Time to Take It Easy 2-3-2 Section One: Pre-reading Activities Section Two: Global Reading Section Three: Detailed Reading Section Four: Consolidation Activities Section Five: Further Enhancement Our lives are enriched by true leisure that feeds the soul. But contemporary Americans are missing the boat. They work 350 hours more per year than Europeans and 70 hours more than the Japanese. One in four Americans does not take a vacation at all. Joe Robinson, former editor of a travel magazine, has stated, “We’re the most vacation-starved country in the industrial world.” And let’s not forget that many people stay connected with the office and the daily financial news even while they are on vacation! Instead of a long vacation, many have opted for weekends away at a second home. But with this arrangement so much time is spent on commuting and maintenance of the property that it can seem like work. Shopping has become for many Americans a psychological substitute for leisure. For a while, it was even touted as a genuine form of patriotism! Text analysis Structural analysis Cultural background

  13. Time to Take It Easy 3.text1-2-S Section One: Pre-reading Activities Section Two: Global Reading Section Three: Detailed Reading Section Four: Consolidation Activities Section Five: Further Enhancement Time to Take It Easy Workers of the world, relax: Summer is coming, and much of Europe is getting ready to shut down for business. France spends the whole of August at the beach. Swedish workers take some of the five weeks paid holiday that their employers have to give them. In Spain and Italy, it’s siesta time. People leave their offices and sleep through the heat of the afternoon, returning to work in the pleasant cool of the evening. These relaxing scenes are not repeated everywhere. People in Britain work the longest hours in Europe. And people in the United States work the hardest of all Westerners — just over 49 hours a week for just over 50 weeks a year, on average. And researchers at the US Government’s Department of Labour recently found that Americans were taking 16 hours less leisure time a week compared with twenty years ago.

  14. Time to Take It Easy 3.text3-5-S Section One: Pre-reading Activities Section Two: Global Reading Section Three: Detailed Reading Section Four: Consolidation Activities Section Five: Further Enhancement Many Americans are proud of their “work ethic”. They point out that the US is the richest and most powerful country in the world. You can’t make that happen by lying in bed. Attitude to work is one of the major differences between busy Britons and Americans and easygoing Europeans. And one of the big arguments within the European Union is over rules governing employment. Should continentals get busy like the British, or is it time for the British to relax a bit more? Even Americans are finding time to think about the issue. “I realized that my future is shorter than my past,”says Al Gini, a philosophy professor at Loyola University in Chicago. “I’ve got to take time now because, like it or not, time will be taken away from me.”

  15. Time to Take It Easy 3.text6-7-S Section One: Pre-reading Activities Section Two: Global Reading Section Three: Detailed Reading Section Four: Consolidation Activities Section Five: Further Enhancement That’s why Professor Gini recently published a book called The Importance of Being Lazy, a call for his fellow Americans to learn the fine art of doing nothing. The real problem, says Professor Gini, is not so much work but the Western attitude to time. “We have never been comfortable with the idea of free time. It is not in our nature to just let time pass. Unstructured time, dead time, downtime, wasted time — it makes us ill at ease.” If time is not filled with work, he says, Americans fill it with shopping and sports, or they just consume the products of the entertainment industry — a multi-million dollar business whose only purpose is to help us pass the time when we are not working.

  16. Time to Take It Easy 3.text8-10-S Section One: Pre-reading Activities Section Two: Global Reading Section Three: Detailed Reading Section Four: Consolidation Activities Section Five: Further Enhancement “We should give some time to contemplation, wonder and the development of ideas,” says Professor Gini. Yet the idea that time should be spent doing something runs very deep in Anglo-American culture. Work is not just good for your bank account. It’s good for your spiritual health, too. That’s not a view taken by British psychologist Oliver James. “Large polls of citizens from developed nations find that they say they are happier than those in developing ones. But when comparison is made between the different developed nations, the citizens of the richest are no more likely to say they are happier than those from the poorest,” he says. “When a society reaches the stage of being able to meet all its citizens’ basic needs, increasing their overall wealth does not make them happier.”

  17. Time to Take It Easy 3.text11-13-S Section One: Pre-reading Activities Section Two: Global Reading Section Three: Detailed Reading Section Four: Consolidation Activities Section Five: Further Enhancement That’s a view supported by a growing “anti-work” movement in the US and Britain, a loosely connected group of campaigners dedicated to the idea that people should work to live, not live to work. As well as publishing guides on how to do nothing creatively, these work rebels organize events like “national phone in sick day”, encouraging staff to take unofficial days off. “Imagine how you feel going into work on Monday morning,” says Brian Dean, who edits the anti-work magazine Anxiety Culture. “If it makes you feel ill, then phone in sick.” The message seems to be getting through. In a recent survey, more than a third of British workers admitted to pretending to be sick to get time off work. But the anti-work rebels face a problem. People who work hard often forget to relax. They will have to work hard at learning to be lazy. Maybe it’s easier just to carry on.

  18. Time to Take It Easy 3.text14-S Section One: Pre-reading Activities Section Two: Global Reading Section Three: Detailed Reading Section Four: Consolidation Activities Section Five: Further Enhancement “It is something you have to prepare for,” says Professor Gini. “The importance of being lazy means to not always be busy with something connected with your job. It’s about stopping working, doing something you would rather be doing, or the gentle art of doing ‘nothing’.” 756 words

I’ve got to take time now because, like it or not, time will be taken away from me. Explanation: like it or not: whether you like it or not, i.e. you have to face the unpleasant situation because you cannot change it. A similar phrase is: "believe it or not". Paraphrase: I’ve already spent most of my time in this world doing my job. Now that I will have no time, no matter I like it or not, I have to take some time to relax and do what I like to do. 我意识到我的未来比我的过去少，我现在必须花时间放松自己，做我愿意做的事情。不管我是否愿意，我的时间快用完了。

Explanation: national phone in sick day: A day on which everyone in the country calls his company to ask for sick leave. Grammatically “phone in sick” had better be hyphenated as “phone-in-sick” as it is used as an adjective modifying “day”. Paraphrase: Besides providing suggestions in their magazines on how to spend one’s leisure time in a creative way, these “anti-work” people organize events like “national phone in sick day”. 这些“反工作者”不光出版指导手册告诉人们怎么创造性地度过空余时间，还积极组织类似“全民电话请假日”的活动。
