Be a Team Player
If you really wish to succeed in life, it is very important to be a team player. For example, in a basketball game, Michael Jordan is a great player, but he still has to work well with his team members to win a game, because every member of his team has a very important role and every member of the team is necessary to the success of the team.
The idea of teamwork also works well in other parts of our life. Teamwork is important in school and in college. Lab work and group programmes are just some of the experiences calling for good teamwork with others. In the workplace, working together is also necessary for success, for no one person can build a railroad or

D. A hug.

manage an airline.
Being a team player does not mean that one person should not have any ideas of his own. He doesn’t have to agree with the other team members all the time. A good team member should not be afraid to think of new ideas even seemingly crazy ones. He needs to stick to his ideas and share them with the other members of the team. Those crazy ideas may help the team achieve the goals.
Human beings are social creatures. Like it or not, we all need to work with others as team players. 47. If one wants to succeed, he should __________. A. work with a great player C. work well with other people
B. join in a famous team D. become a leader in a team
48. According to the writer, the idea of teamwork works well in many places, EXCEPT A. in school
B. in the workplace C. in sport
D. in art
49. When we don’t agree with the other members of the team, we should __________. A. help the other team members C. work hard for the teamwork
D
Go into a busy bookstore and you will notice that the women are reading about fashion, beauty or friendship and the men are reading about cars, sport or technology. This should not be a surprise. After all, these choices are quite typical for women and men—women like working with people while men enjoy working with tools, objects and materials.
When we look at young babies, we see that baby boys and girls show the typical hobbies at a very early age. A 12-month baby girl will look longer at people while boys of the same age look longer at toys.
So where do these differences between men and women come from? Scientists believed that parents had a lot of influence（影响） on their children. But many scientists now believe that the answer is also in the amount of man and woman hormones（激素） in the mother’s body before a child’s birth. Study has shown that this leads to three types of brain（大脑类型）: type S, type E and type B. People who are born with a type S or man brain are interested in objects. They are good at building and using tools and working out how things work. People with a type E or woman brain are good at understanding other people’s feelings and treating people with great care. Others are born with both man and woman brains-this is called the type B or balanced brain.
Perhaps the most important thing that the scientists found out was that sex（性别）doesn’t decide the type of
----完整版学习资料分享----
B. think of new ideas D. stick to our own ideas
资料内容仅供您学习参考，如有不当之处，请联系改正或者删除
brain you have. Not all men have the type S brain, and not all women have the type E brain. But on average, more men than women have a type S brain, and more women than men have a type E brain.
So does this mean that one type of brain is better than another? No, not at all. Some people find that some things are easier to do than others because they are born to be interested in them. They are good at doing certain things naturally. Scientists hope that understanding how people are born with different types of brain can help make all of us more open to the difference.
50. The underlined word “typical” in the first paragraph probably means “__________”. A. common
B. crazy
C. secret
D. strange
51. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. A child’s birth decides the difference between boys and girls. B. Baby girls are more interested in people than baby boys. C. More men than women have better types of brain. D. Sex decides the type of brain. 52. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Child’s birth and sex.
B. Types of brain and likes.
C. Parents’ difference and influence. D. Young babies and their interests.

八、阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分, 每小题2分）
Changing Lives, One Cow at a Time
Who says kids can’t make a difference? In Missouri, a group of students is changing lives around the world! How are they doing this? They’re buying farm animals!
Millions of people live with little food and money, so the gift of an animal can actually save lives. More than 10 years ago, the second-graders at Forsyth School learned about how Heifer International helps people. They decided they wanted to help, too.
Heifer helps poor people by giving farm animals to them and teaching them how to use the animals to make their lives better. A heifer is a young cow, and these animals have become a symbol（标志） of Heifer’s work. That’s because families with a cow can produce milk to drink and they can also sell it for other things they need. Heifer also gives animals like sheep, pigs, and even bees to the poor families.
Each second-grade class at Forsyth School decides which animals to buy and how much to give. The students’ favourite part of working with Heifer is that they can help others. They don’t want kids of their age to live without house or food.
The students raise money by recycling cans. Some even ask that birthday or holiday gifts to be given to Heifer!
Kids can do many things to help others. Your class might want to raise money for Heifer, too. You might also want to give your money or your time to a group in your community that helps people. Why not talk with your classmates about how your school can help others? 58. Can students help change lives?
59. When did the students at Forsyth School learn about Heifer? 60. How does Heifer help poor people?

I am glad to tell you about an activity course for the summer holidays. The summer course this year is from 18th July to 26th August. It is for children aged eight to thirteen. Kids can come for the whole length of the course. And of course, they can also come for only one or two weeks. There’ll he different things to do every week.
Once again some experienced art and music teachers will lead creative classes for the kids. This year we also thought of providing some more exciting sports like rock climbing and caving. We decided not to, in the end, because it would be a lot more expensive. Instead, we’re introducing some fun projects—kids can prepare together and show their parents what they have been doing. For example, we’re going to put on a talent show and organise an American Night. I think it will be good fun for the kids, and teach them good skills too. For more information and application form, go to the website, www. summeractivities. co. uk. 10. M: Hello. It’s No. 3 Primary School. Can I help you?
