Activity 5: Now read the sentence from the passage and answer the questions.
So, whatever twists and turns you might encounter, take a leaf out of the books of these two authors and be prepared for the unexpected.
1 What is your understanding of “take a leaf out of the books”

2 What effect is the author aiming to achieve by using it
The author aims to maintain the reader’s interest by using this figure of speech, and perhaps to end with a lighter note by using a pun.
3 What other expressions do you know that share the same meaning
Think & Share
1 What is your understanding of Steve Jobs’s words at the end of the passage
You cannot make sense of your life by looking forward, because the future has not happened yet, and the meaning of future events is therefore uncertain. However, once future events have occurred, you may be able to see how they fit into the pattern of your life. Things which you did not expect to be important may turn out to be very important. You must face the future by believing that everything will work out in the end, and that your life will make sense and have meaning.
2 What can you learn about facing the future from the two authors
One possible answer:What the future will be like is uncertain. We should work hard on the goal we’ve set but at the same time be prepared for the unexpected.
3 What will you do to prepare yourself for the future
One possible answer:Set a clear goal and make the most of the time and chances to work hard on it.Meanwhile, prepare myself for the unexpected in the future.
