Welcome to the unit
To me, the spirit of craftsmanship refers to the dedication craftspeople give to their work in order to strive to be the best and to make their crafts as perfect as possible. They have a passion for their crafts, while paying attention to the small details that make them special and unique. Craftspeople are known for their inventive talent and superb skills. In addition to those traits, craftspeople are also characterized by their professional ethics, pursuit of quality and ability to innovate.

It is certainly true that most of us do join the labour force once our studies are completed.

Henry David Thoreau said, “... if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
通过我们所做的工作，我们可以达成目标，实现梦想。我们所有人都曾心怀这样或那样的梦想，而工作常常能让我们追寻那些梦想。亨利 戴维 梭罗说过：“……一个人若能自信地朝他梦想的方向行进，努力过他设想的那种生活，那么他就会在平常的时刻与成功不期而遇。”

Explanation
Concluding sentence
Not only does work benefit us personally, it also contributes to the health of society. At the most basic level, different types of jobs are like gears in a machine. They work to ensure that the machine we call “society” functions properly. In a successful, stable and productive society, all jobs are equally important and no one is superior to another, so we should not have prejudice against any of them.
工作不仅在个人层面上对我们有益，还能促进社会的健康发展。从最基本的层面来看，各种各样的职业就像一台机器里的一个个零件。它们的运转保障着我们称之为“社会”的这部机器正常运行。在一个成功、稳定且有成效的社会中，所有工作都是同等重要的，没有高低之分，因此我们不应对任何工作抱有偏见。
para.4
Whether we are scientists, lawyers, doctors, public servants, consultants, clerks, receptionists or butchers, we all make our respective contributions. Moreover, there are people who choose to step out of their comfort zone and commit themselves to working for the benefit of others. For example, teachers in remote rural areas are devoted to changing the lives of the people with less access to the advantages enjoyed by many others. In this way, we work to advance our communities and bring success to our nation.
无论我们是科学家、律师、医生、公务员，还是顾问、公司职员、接待员或肉贩，大家都各有一份贡献。而且，有的人选择走出自己的舒适区，投身为他人谋福利的事业中。比如，偏远乡村地区的教师们致力于改变一些人的命运，这些人没有那么多条件享受许多其他人所能享受的福利。通过这种方式，我们就是在为推动我们的社会进步和民族振兴而工作。
para.4
⑤ What is the function of the first sentence
Paragraph 4
It is a transitional sentence, serving as a link between the preceding paragraph and paragraph 4.
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.
⑥ How does the author explain the contributions of
various jobs to the health of society What is the
advantage of this writing technique
⑦ 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.
