Teamwork is all about working together to achieve a common goal or purpose. Is teamwork out of date? Why is it so hard to effectively conduct teamwork in those things?

One way we employ teamwork in everyday lives is by becoming a parent. It is a parent's job to teach their children and the basic skills and give them the knowledge they need to be successful in life. For example, the mother teaches her children manners and good health skills, while the father teaches them how to catch a ball or drive a car. However, in today's society, we find that more and more parents are experiencing that the teamwork is a one-sided thing. According to a report, there are 13.7 million single parents raising their children in the US and this could be due to the fact that parents don't take responsibility for their children, so they leave one parent to do it alone. This is a sad fact, but it reflects that effective teamwork is losing ground in the parenting aspect of our everyday lives.

Another place where teamwork affects us greatly is in our jobs. It doesn't matter if you are a small or large company; if you have at least one employee and yourself, then teamwork will be present. I have noticed that with the current economic recession（衰退期）, people are racing to grab jobs but the quality of people's work has gone down greatly. It just appears to me that people do not take pride in their work any more. They want to get to work as fast as they can, just to receive the paycheck, but their quality standards fly right out the window. So I think teamwork is losing its ground in the workforce. There are too many people who want to work independently and forget they are a part of a team.

As you can see, we run into the aspects of teamwork in just about everything we do. Do you believe teamwork is really losing ground in today's society? I think it is.

1.Why does teamwork disappear in the parenting aspect of our daily life?

A. Parents have no time to spare with their children.

B. Parents have no chances to teach their children about it.

C. Many children are often brought up by a single parent.

D. Many children are independent to deal with their matters.

2.Teamwork is losing ground in workforce mainly because -

A. workers don't like to work together with others

B. workers' sense is affected by economic recession

C. workers want to prove they are more capable

D. fewer workers are employed to save money

3.The author wants us to believe his opinion by_ _．

A. listing some data

B. giving some examples

C. asking some questions

D. analyzing some cases

4.The underlined phrase "fly right out the window" in Paragraph 3 means_______ .

B

American researchers found females are the more talkative sex because of a special “l(fā)anguage protein” in the brain.

The study, conducted by neuroscientists(神經(jīng)學(xué)家) and psychologist from the University of Maryland, concluded that women talked more because they had more of the Foxp2 protein. The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day – over 13,000 more than men. “This study is one of the first to report a sex difference in the expression of a language-associated protein in humans or animals,” said Prof Margaret McCarthy, who led the study. In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal than their female friends.

They separated four-day-old rats from their mothers and then counted the number of times they cried out in the “ultrasonic（超聲波的） range”, the frequencies higher than humans can hear, over five minutes. While both sexes called out hundreds of cries, the males called out twice as often, they found. But when the pups were returned to their mother’s cage, she fussed over her sons first. Tests conducted on the parts of the brain known to be associated with vocal calls showed the male pups have up to twice as much Foxp2 protein as the females. The researchers then increased the production in the brains of female pups and reduced it in males. This led to the female rats crying out more often and their mothers showing more interest to them. In contrast, males became less “talkative”.

The researchers then tested samples from ten children, aged between three and five, which showed that females had up to 30 per cent more of the Foxp2 protein than males, in a brain area key to language in humans.

“Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of Foxp2 in girls and higher levels of Foxp2 in male rats is an indication that Foxp2 protein levels are associated with the more communicative sex,” said Prof McCarthy.

“Our results imply Foxp2 as a component (成分)of the neurobiological basis of sex differences in vocal communication in mammals.”

1.From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.

A. women always speak more words than men

B. men and male rats have low levels of language protein

C. women and male rats have similar levels of Foxp2

D. McCarthy isn’t the first to find females more talkative

2.The underlined phrase “fussed over” in the third paragraph probably means______.

A. paid attention to B. related to

C. put pressure on D. counted on

3.The researchers carried out the experiments on rats in order to _______.

A. test which part of the brain is key to language in rats and humans

B. prove the levels of Foxp2 protein in humans and rats are different

C. determine the reason why female rats are more talkative than male rats

D. discover the association between Foxp2 protein and vocal communication

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. Tests on humans and rats

B. Why women are the talkative sex

C. Sex differences in Foxp2 protein

D. Foxp2 protein determines oral ability

Teen obesity means the problem of very overweight teenagers. Obesiry for a teenager happens when his or her BMI(身體質(zhì)量指數(shù))is more than 95 percent greater as compared to other teenagers of the same gender(性別)and age.

The term "obese" is commonly used by doctors wh. en a person's weight can badly affect their health. Obesity can be caused by genetics and habits such as eating unhealthy food and not getting enough exercise.

Teen obesity can lead to several health problems. Obese teens are at greater risk of deve-loping health complication(并發(fā)癥)，such as type-2 diabetes（糖尿�。�，high blood pressure and high cholesterol(膽固醇). If they remain obese into adulthood, these teens can also raise their chances of developing heart disease.

In addition, there can be many psychological effects of teen obesity. Some experts believe there is a strong link between obesity and self-identity(自我認(rèn)向)．If teens are treated poorly by other teens, they may have the feeling of low self-esteem(自尊), loneliness and depression Health experts recommend several ways to control teen obesity. The most common sugges-tions are eating balanced meals with enough fruit and vegetables in addition to getting 60 minutes of exercise daily. Eating a good breakfast can also help according to some doctors.

Doctors suggest that teens avoid trying to go on a diet and instead learn to how to make lifestyle changes.Some experts also recommend making the entire family take part in healthier habits to make the obese teen feel less alone. Parents can also avoid talking about health weight in terms of "fat' and "thin" and instead say that each person's ideal size is different

Art is an important part of education, not only on its own but in the rest of education as well. However, in this information age, advanced technology in school has gained more attention than art. Sometimes when the school has a tight budget, it is usually art rather than technology that becomes the first thing to be cut.

Anyway, the significance of art can’t be ignored. First of all, in school it can help students develop a variety of life skills such as communication skills, problem-solving skills and self-expression skills. Secondly, for high school students, those who are involved in arts classes can have higher test scores. Besides, for some students, art seems to be motivation for coming to school because it’s a subject that they can outshine, which eventually balances their educational experience.

New technology surely offers many benefits to some aspects of education, making teaching and learning easier and more effective. For example, technology simplifies tasks that take much longer to do, like conducting research or finding information. But advanced technology has bad effects such as the risk of being overweight, tiredness and even potential mental health problems, while art doesn’t. On the other hand, unlike art, no technology can develop students’ critical (批判的) thinking skills and a creative mind, both of which can help them to find successful careers after they graduate. Furthermore, no technology can help students to learn to bear responsibility, develop their imagination and increase their confidence.

Generally, art should not be replaced with advanced technology in schools and the last thing to be cut out of school curriculum.

WHAT’S the most important thing of life?

People’s answers vary greatly. For British scientist Robert Edwards，the answer is having a child.“Nothing is more special than a child，”he told the BBC.

Edwards，the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization(IVF)technology—more commonly known as“test?tube(試管)baby”technology—passed away on April 10 ,2013 at the age of 87.

Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice(充滿(mǎn)喜悅)in the gift of their own child，”said Peter Braude，professor at King’s College London.“He leaves the world a much better place.”

Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s，when he had just finished his PhD in genetics. At that time，much of the public viewed test-tube babies as“scary”，according to Mark Sauer，professor at Columbia University，US.

Edwards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches，governments and media，not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists.“People said that we should not play God and we should not interfere with nature，”Edwards once told Times. He said that he felt “quite alone” at the time.

“But Edwards was a fighter，and he believed in what he was doing，”said Sauer. Without support from the government，the two struggled to raise funds to carry on. And in 1968 they finally developed a method to successfully fertilize human eggs outside the body.

The first test-tube baby was born on July 25，1978.Her name was Louise Brown. Despite people’s safety concerns，Brown was just as healthy as other children.

“IVF had moved from vision to reality and a new era in medicine had begun，”BBC commented.

Ever since then，public opinion has evolved considerably. Couples who were unable to have babies began thronging(蜂擁)to Edwards’ clinic. Nowadays，Reuters reports，some 4.3 million other“test-tube” children exist. Edwards received a Nobel Prize in 2010 and was knighted(封為爵士)by Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ the following year.

Before his death，Edwards was still in touch with Louise.“He is like a granddad to me，”she said in an interview with the Daily Mail.

He is a granddad to millions, in fact.
