Unit 5 Graceful Hands Background Information（1） Death Death is the termination of the biological functions that sustain a living organism. The word refers both to the particular processes of lifes cessation as well as to the condition or state of a formerly-living body. Background Information（1） Death Phenomena which commonly bring about death include predation, malnutrition, accidents resulting in terminal injury, and disease. Death of an entire species is known as extinction. Human activity has increased the number of extinctions in recent times, one cause, for example, being the destruction of ecosystems as a consequence of the spread of industrial technology.

Text Structure Analysis:  My father has been dead for many years but I think of him quite often. He was severely crippled but he never complained about it and never subjected himself to the fate. He went to work in spite of his great physical inconvenience and never missed a day even in bad weather. Unable to engage in many activities, my father tried to participate in some way. He managed to participate in some things through me, his only son. However, when I was young, I didn’t understand it and I was embarrassed to be seen with him.
