The first sentence is a transitional sentence, serving as a link between the preceding paragraph and paragraph 4.
(2) Why does the picture of a gear" replace the letter "o" in the word "work" in the title
The picture of a gear" symbolizes the function of jobs. Different jobs are like gears in a machine we call "society". It makes the title meaningful and interesting.

The author wants to emphasize the idea that various jobs keep society running smoothly and no one job is superior to another.

It refers to stepping out of our comfort zone and committing ourselves to working for the benefit of others.
5.teacher’s task：guide students to think about the questions in A3。
(1) How does the author explain the contributions of various jobs to the health of society What is the advantage of this writing technique
The author uses simile to compare the different types of jobs to gears in a machine. Using this figurative writing technique helps readers easily visualize the importance of each job's contribution to keeping society functioning.
(2) What is your answer to the question of whether to work to live or live to work Give your reasons.
My answer to the question is, I work to live." Work will be an important dimension of my life—the one that provides financial security, which allows me to enjoy some other aspects of my life, such as personal relationships, hobbies and entertainment.
My answer to the question is, “I live to work." Work takes up a big part of our lives. It embodies an important purpose in our life, and contributes to the development of individuals as well as society as a whole.
(3) What qualities do you think model workers should have
I think model workers show love for their country through their great dedication to their work. Their actions inevitably impact others in a positive way. They practice responsibility not only in their jobs, but in society as a whole. They have good self-discipline, and are honest and hard-working. They are selfless, always thinking of others' needs. Model workers are also passionate about what they do and are proud to work towards the greater good of their society and country.
