Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group.____ 1____ Let’s look at some different examples of body painting.

　　“OK, class．Count off(報(bào)數(shù))by five．”　　1　　 Sometimes, breaking into small groups lasts as long as the class does．Other times, it signals the start of a “group project”－which means you'll be working with a few classmates for a day, several days, or longer on an assignment(任務(wù))．

　　　　2　　 Most things are done with the help or ideas of other people．Group projects are great practice for high school, college, and real life, when you will probably have a job that requires working with others．Right now, group projects can be fun and they often allow you to do a bigger, more interesting project than you could alone．　　3　　

　　Group projects also give you a chance to get to know kids you might not know or talk with－maybe the quiet kid in the third row, or the boy who lived down the street when you were in kindergarten．　　4　　 For example：working on a deadline(最后期限), staying organized, or being patient．And if you're a little nervous talking in front of a group, a joint(聯(lián)合的)project can help you become more comfortable with it．

　　　　5　　 If so, you'll know your whole group is rooting for you!

A．Few of us act alone in the real world．

B．Why is this type of project so popular in school?

C．With group work, you can actually learn more in less time．

D．Maybe your group will pick you to tell the whole class about your project．

E．Group projects are also a great way to practice skills you're not so sure of．

F．When your teacher gives you that instruction, you know what's coming next．

G．One key to a good meeting is having a leader, who should help the group stay focused．

　　Maybe you are an average student．You probably think you will never be a top student．This is not necessary so, however．　　1　　 Here’s how：

　　1．Plan your time carefully．When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do．After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time．First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc．then decide a good, regular time for studying．　　2　　 A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time．

　　2．　　3　　 Look around the house for a good study area．Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials．No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject．

　　3．　　4　　 Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say．Really listening in class means less work later．Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says．

七選五閱讀－根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

　　Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious．Are these just stereotypes(模式化觀念或形象)or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?

　　At least one group of people is certain that it can．A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs(企業(yè)家)in the UK found that 70％ felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public．Britain is hostile(敵意的)to success, they said．It has a culture of jealousy．(嫉妒)　　1　　．Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green eyed monster” and the UK is its home．

　　Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea．They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money．　　2　�。�Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others－but at the cost of losing their own．Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this．

　　　　3　　．But there is also conflicting evidence．The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world's fourth largest economy．That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success．People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe．So the British people are not lazy, either．

　　“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology．“It's people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots．”

　　　　4　�。�They set out to do things in their ways．They work long hours．By their own efforts they become millionaires．　　5　　．It hardly seems worth following their example．If they were more friendly ,people would like them more．And more people want to be like them．

A．This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain．

B．The one who owns most money in the end is the winner．

C．As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood．”

D．It is not true that British people are born jealous of others success．

E．Some were given a little, others a great deal．

F．But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them．

G．Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem．

71______________

When we speak of a basic human need we mean something necessary to life, something we cannot do without. Food is a basic human need. Without it we would starve to death. Whether in primitive(原始的)countries or in more advanced societies, man’s food needs are the same. 72

But primitive people eat only the food which can be grown near their homes, whereas people in more advanced societies eat food which is often grown many thousands of miles away from their homes. Primitive people are satisfied with less kinds of food, therefore we can say people’s wants are different although their needs are the same.

73 Clothing is necessary to regulate (調(diào)節(jié)) the heat of our bodies. In different climates and in different seasons we need more or less clothes. We also dress differently for other reasons. 74

Shelter, the third of our needs, depends on climate, the skill of the builders, one’s social position, and the material which can be used. 75 The three-bed-roomed house of the average family would not be grand enough for a very rich family, but a modern house with many of the material comforts were denied to the kings and queens in the past.

A．Food, Clothing and Shelter.

B．Human Needs

C．We always change our style of clothing for different occasions, such as work, sports, parties.

D．We all need food to live a healthy life.

E. We want to live comfortably .

F. The simple shelter of the primitive people would not do for us, and yet it satisfied their needs.

G. The same is true of the second of human needs.
