I Created My Dream Job: Pet Transporter的文章
For nearly a decade now, Merebeth has been a self-employed pet transport specialist. Her pet transport job was born of the financial crisis(危机）in the late 2000s. The downturn hit the real estate(房地产）firm where she had worked for ten years as an office manager. The firm went broke and left her looking for a new job. One day, while driving near her home, she saw a dog wandering on the road, clearly lost. She took it home, and her sister in Denver agreed to take it. This was a loving home for sure, but 1,600 miles away. It didn't take long for Merebeth to decide to drive the dog there herself. It was her first road trip to her new job. Merebeth's pet delivery service also satisfies her wanderlust. It has taken her to every state in the US except Montana, Washington and Oregon, she says proudly. If she wants to visit a new place, she will simply find a pet with transport needs there. She travels in all weathers. She has driven through 55 mph winds in Wyoming, heavy flooding and storms in Alabama and total whiteout conditions in Kansas.
This wanderlust is inherited from her father, she says. He moved their family from Canada to California when she was one year old, because he wanted them to explore a new place together. As soon as she graduated from high school she left home to live on Catalina Island off the Californian coast, away from her parents, where she enjoyed a life of sailing and off-road biking.
It turns out that pet transporting pays quite well at about $30,000 per year before tax. She doesn't work in summer, as it would be unpleasantly hot for the animals in the car, even with air conditioning. As autumn comes, she gets restless--the same old wanderlust returning. It's a call she must heed alone, though. Merebeth says, "When I am on the road, I'm just in my own world. I've always been independent-spirited and I just feel strongly that I mush help animals."
21.Why did Merebeth changed her job
A.She wanted to work near her home. B. She was tired of working in the office.
C. Her sister asked her to move to Denver. D.Her former employer was out of business.

本文是一篇应用文，介绍了Maury Klein所著的一本书，改书讲述了蒸汽、电气时代为美国发展带来的影响
以及在那个时代下诞生的发明家。
The United States rose to global power on the strength of its technology, and the lifeblood that technology has long been electricity. By providing long-distance communication and energy, electricity created the modern world. Yet properly understood, the age of electricity is merely the second stage in the age of steam, which began a century earlier.
“It is curious that no one has put together a history of both the steam and electric revolutions." writes Maury Klein in his book The Power Makers, Steam, Electricity, and the Men Invented Modern America. Klein, a noted historian of technology, spins a narrative so lively that at times it reads like a novel.
The story begins in the last years of the 18th century in Scotland, where Watt perfected "the machine that changed the world”. Klein writes, “America did not invent the steam engine, but once they grasped its passwords they put it to more uses than anyone else.”
Meanwhile, over the course of 19th century, electricity went from mere curiosity to a basic necessity. Morse invented a code for sending messages over an electromagnetic circuit. Bell then gave the telegraph a voice. Edison perfected an incandescent bulb that brought electric light into the American home.
Most importantly, Edison realized that success depended on mass electrification, which he showed in New York City. With help from Tesla, Westinghouse's firm developed a system using alternating current, which soon became the major forms of power delivery.
To frame his story, Klein creates the character of Ned, a fictional witness to the progress brought about by the steams and electric revolutions in America during one man's lifetime. It's a technique that helps turn a long narrative into an interesting one.
24. What is Klein's understanding of the age of electricity
A. It is closely linked to the steam age. B. It began earlier than proper thought.
C. It is a little-studied period of history. D. It will come to an end sooner or later.

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项持续数十年的科学研究成果---经常锻炼，身体健康的女性在晚年患失智症的可能性较低，并指出了该研究的局限性。
The benefits of regular exercise are well documented but there's a new bonus to add to the ever-growing list.New researchers found that middle-aged women who were physically fit could be nearly 90 percent less likely to develop dementia(失智症）in later life, and is they did, it came on a decade later than less sporty women.
Lead researcher Dr. Helena Horder, of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, said: "These findings are exciting because it's possible that improving people's cardiovascular(心血管的）fitness in middle age could delay or even prevent them from developing dementia.” For the study, 191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise test until they were exhausted to measure their peak(最大值的）cardiovascular capacity. The average peak workload was measured at 103 watts.
A total of 40 women met the criteria for a high fitness level, or 120 watts or higher. A total of 92 women were in the medium fitness category; and 59 women were in the low fitness category, defined as a peak workload of 80 watts or less, or having their exercise tests stopped because of high blood pressure, chest pain or other cardiovascular problems.
These women were then tested for dementia six times over the following four decades. During that time,44 of the women developed dementia. Five percent of the highly fit women developed dementia, compared to 25 percent of the women with medium fitness and 32 percent of the women with low fitness.
“However, this study does not show cause and effect between cardiovascular fitness and dementia, it only shows an association. More research is needed to see if improved fitness could have a positive effect on the risk of dementia and also to look at when during a lifetime a high fitness level is most important.” She also admitted that a relatively small number of women were studied, all of whom were form Sweden, so the results might not be applicable to other groups.
27. What is on the ever-growing list mentioned in the first paragraph
A. Positive effects of doing exercises. B. Exercises suitable for the middle-aged.
C. Experimental studies on diseases. D. Advantages of sporty woman over man

Kim Cobb, a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, is one of a small but growing minority of academics 56. who/that are cutting back on their air travel because of climate change. Travelling to conferences, lectures, workshops, and the like--- frequently by plane --- 57. is viewed/ has been viewed (view) as important for scientists to get together and exchange information. But Cobb and others 58. are (be) now questioning that idea ----- pushing conferences to provide more chances to participate remotely and 59. changing (change) their personal behavior to do their part in dealing with the climate change crisis. On a website called No Fly Climate Sci, for example, 60. roughly（rough) 200 academics - many of them climate scientists 61. have promised (promise) to fly as little as possible since the effort started two years ago.
Cobb, for her party, started to ask conference organizers who invited her to speak 62. whether/ if she could do so remotely; about three-quarters of 63. the time, they agreed. When the answer, was no, she, declined the 64. invitation (invite). That approach brought Cobb's air travel last year down by 75%, and she plans 65 to continue (continue) the practice. “It has been fairly rewarding.” she says, “a really positive change.”

圣帕特里克节每年3月17日举行庆祝活动。它通常包含游行，幸运符，所有的东西都是绿色的。该活动始于宗教节日，但随着时间的推移，它成为了爱尔兰的文化庆典。今天人们穿绿色食品，吃绿色食品来庆祝这一天。
圣帕特里克节（St. Patrick's Day）是为了纪念爱尔兰守护神圣帕特里克。这一节日5世纪末期起源于爱尔兰，如今已成为爱尔兰的国庆节。随着爱尔兰后裔遍布世界各地，现在，圣帕特里克节已经渐渐在一些国家成为节日。圣帕特里克节的传统颜色为绿色。
Irish food
Food in Ireland is fresh, tasty and made with a contemporary twist. When it comes to food on the island of Ireland, you need to start at the very beginning. The purity of the natural produce here has made the island one of the most talked-about food destinations in Europe, with an emphasis on artisan cheese, exceptional beef and lamb and fresh-off-the-boat seafood.
Irish stew
Irish steak
oyster
lobster
scone

Dear Chris，
How is everything going Though it’s long since we met at the China-Ireland Culture Festival, our acquaintance there and the festival itself stay fresh in my memory.
The festival was really a feast, entirely holding me in its power. Do you remember the cultural salon, which featured the typical cultural elements of the two countries, helped me gain a glimpse into the diversity and richness of the two dynamic cultures. And what impressed me most was the Culture Night, where people from both countries presented their well-prepared art performances, which provoked my passion for further understanding of Irish culture legacy.
May we keep in touch and our friendship be everlasting.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
Dear Chris,
How is everything Though it’s been a month since we first met at the week-long Sino-Irish Cultural Exchange held in Shanghai, the activity remains fresh in my memory.
The Youth Forum on the first day, in which teenagers from both countries aired views on future life and social development, made me realize that united, youth can make a real difference. What impressed me most was the art performance on the last night, which featured Chinese and Irish folk dance and music. Amazed at how different art forms could be so well integrated on one stage, I can’t wait to join in the festival to be held next year in Dublin and meet you again!
Stay in touch and best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
Dear Chris,
How’s everything going Despite the separation since our acquaintance in the Sino-Irish Culture Festival, cherished memories came crowding in on my mind.
Happy laughter and cheerful applauses flowing, we participated in diverse activities ranging from exhibitions of visual art to distinctive music and dances of both countries. Personally, I was most fascinated by the classic Irish dance with fancy footwork and the pipe music serving as an audio-visual feast. Undeniably, such a cultural event not only deepened my insight into the exotic Irish culture, but also boosted my confidence in the time-honored domestic culture.
Hopefully, we can keep in touch as cultural envoys!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
When Dr. Henderson was assigning(指定) project mates for his psychology class, I secretly hoped that he would pair me with my best friend or at least a classmate I could have some fun with. Above all, I hoped he wouldn’t assign me to work with the fiercely competitive and extremely serious fellow who always wore dark clothes and apparently had a personality to match. As fate(命运) would have it, Dr. Henderson very deliberately matched everyone in class and announced that I would be working with the one person in class I wanted to avoid.
I went up to my new teammate and introduced myself. He looked at me as though I weren’t there. I felt he treated me as though I would hold him back and probably make him fail to get an A in the course. He wasn’t mean or abusive; he just gave me the impression he could do whatever project we dreamed up better if he did it alone.
Needless to say, I didn’t look forward to an entire team of being brushed off, but I tried to make the best of it and didn’t say anything for fear that I would make things worse.
The project required each team to develop a hypothesis(假设), set up an experiment to test the hypothesis, do the statistical analysis and present the findings. Whatever grade the team received would be shared by both students.
When my teammate and I met to discuss our project, I was uneasy. Here was this challenging student who had a reputation for single-mindedness and good grades—the exact opposite of me. I actually wanted to drop the class at one point, but stopped short because I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of my chickening out. I decided to stick to it no matter what.
After long discussions we somehow agreed to do a study on the psychological well-being of teenagers. I wasn’t sure what it meant exactly, but at least we had a topic.
Para.1 We started to meet regularly to draw up our plans.
Para.2 Then one day I got word that he was admitted to the hospital for a serious disease.
Dr. Henderson paired me with my classmate.
I introduced myself to my teammate.
How did I feel
I: unwilling to be paired with him
I: felt slighted
My teammate: unwilling to cooperate
I: uneasy; determined
Although outmatched, I still decided to stick to the project.

Paragraph 1: We started to meet regularly to draw up our plans. Serious as my teammate was, we gradually grew in good tune with each other. He had a way with technical things and approached every detail with a clear purpose. And I spared no effort to do my bit, collecting data and recording results carefully, so as to make up for my academic disadvantage. I fully discussed my ideas and shared my insights with him, who was once indifferent but later listened to me with close attention. We were making steady progress with our project.
Paragraph 2: One day I got word that he was admitted to hospital for a serious disease. The moment I saw him lying helplessly in bed, I decided I had to act alone and do my best. I assured him I would not let him down and he should concentrate on recovering. I poured more time and energy into that project than ever before, and finally presented our findings to the class, which surprisingly earned us an excellent grade! When I told him about our shared success, he smiled. It had to do with trust and the joy of sharing a common prize.
Paragraph 1: We started to meet regularly to draw up our plans. And gradually I came to understand what our project was about. As he was a fiercely competitive fellow, he put the project totally in his charge, leaving me doing nothing but simply follow his steps and instructions. Though unwilling, I did my part honestly but blindly. As the project progressed, I seemed to get the trick, which built up my confidence and made my teammate slightly relieved. At this point, we started to really team work, running the tests and doing the statistical analysis. With his ambition of getting an “A” and my desire to live up to his ambition, we worked round the clock, exhausted but expectant. 108
Paragraph 2: One day I got word that he was admitted to hospital for a serious disease. Immediately, I hurried to the hospital, where I learned that he had to be hospitalized for quite a while. It meant that we had no alternative but to discontinue our project. Seeing the worry and weakness written on his face, I assured him that I would not let him down and carry on. With all my heart put into the challenging task, I did the analysis accurately and presented our findings amazingly, which won thunderous applause. Our project did end with an “A”. Learning this, he smiled, grateful for my devotion. But to me, what was more important was that I befriended the serious fellow who had originally wanted to avoid.
Paragraph 1: We started to meet regularly to draw up our plans. As expected, my ideas were completely eclipsed by his intelligence during our first few meetings and it seemed that there was no way that I could make a contribution to the project. However, my self-esteem wouldn’t allow me to yield to the challenge and I took a more active part in the test of the hypothesis. Days and nights witnessed my devotion to observing teenagers around us and interviewing them patiently and logically. My dedication gradually melted my teammate’s heart and his attitudes towards me began to change. He was no more an ice cube unwilling to discuss, and instead he listened attentively to my ideas and adopted some from time to time. It was the first time that I had perceived that we could be called a team. Everything seemed to go on so smoothly.
Paragraph 2: One day I got word that he was admitted to hospital for a serious disease. The moment I arrive at his ward, his pale face and tired look told everything. What surprised me even more was that he still inquired about the progress of our project and begged me to finish it alone. At the sight of this pitiful boy’s pleading look, I bet no one would refuse. It was exactly at that moment that I made up my mind I would spare no effort to achieve a satisfying shared grade. In the following days, my teammate’s single-minded pursuit of academic excellence supported me in checking the statistics and having a rehearsal for a thousand times. Finally the moment to present our findings came. From Dr. Gullickson’s expression, I could tell our project was a huge success. When asked about the secret of our successful project, I grinned, exposing a set of amazingly white teeth and answered without hesitation, “Cooperation!” I just couldn’t wait to tell my teammate our shared triumph!

不仅帮助了动物，而且收获了旅行带来的精神自由。
选自英国广播公司新闻网2019年2月10日名为
I Created My Dream Job: Pet Transporter的文章
For nearly a decade now, Merebeth has been a self-employed pet transport specialist. Her pet transport job was born of the financial crisis(危机）in the late 2000s. The downturn hit the real estate(房地产）firm where she had worked for ten years as an office manager. The firm went broke and left her looking for a new job. One day, while driving near her home, she saw a dog wandering on the road, clearly lost. She took it home, and her sister in Denver agreed to take it. This was a loving home for sure, but 1,600 miles away. It didn't take long for Merebeth to decide to drive the dog there herself. It was her first road trip to her new job. Merebeth's pet delivery service also satisfies her wanderlust. It has taken her to every state in the US except Montana, Washington and Oregon, she says proudly. If she wants to visit a new place, she will simply find a pet with transport needs there. She travels in all weathers. She has driven through 55 mph winds in Wyoming, heavy flooding and storms in Alabama and total whiteout conditions in Kansas.
This wanderlust is inherited from her father, she says. He moved their family from Canada to California when she was one year old, because he wanted them to explore a new place together. As soon as she graduated from high school she left home to live on Catalina Island off the Californian coast, away from her parents, where she enjoyed a life of sailing and off-road biking.
It turns out that pet transporting pays quite well at about $30,000 per year before tax. She doesn't work in summer, as it would be unpleasantly hot for the animals in the car, even with air conditioning. As autumn comes, she gets restless--the same old wanderlust returning. It's a call she must heed alone, though. Merebeth says, "When I am on the road, I'm just in my own world. I've always been independent-spirited and I just feel strongly that I mush help animals."
21.Why did Merebeth changed her job
A.She wanted to work near her home. B. She was tired of working in the office.
C. Her sister asked her to move to Denver. D.Her former employer was out of business.

本文是一篇应用文，介绍了Maury Klein所著的一本书，改书讲述了蒸汽、电气时代为美国发展带来的影响
以及在那个时代下诞生的发明家。
The United States rose to global power on the strength of its technology, and the lifeblood that technology has long been electricity. By providing long-distance communication and energy, electricity created the modern world. Yet properly understood, the age of electricity is merely the second stage in the age of steam, which began a century earlier.
“It is curious that no one has put together a history of both the steam and electric revolutions." writes Maury Klein in his book The Power Makers, Steam, Electricity, and the Men Invented Modern America. Klein, a noted historian of technology, spins a narrative so lively that at times it reads like a novel.
The story begins in the last years of the 18th century in Scotland, where Watt perfected "the machine that changed the world”. Klein writes, “America did not invent the steam engine, but once they grasped its passwords they put it to more uses than anyone else.”
Meanwhile, over the course of 19th century, electricity went from mere curiosity to a basic necessity. Morse invented a code for sending messages over an electromagnetic circuit. Bell then gave the telegraph a voice. Edison perfected an incandescent bulb that brought electric light into the American home.
Most importantly, Edison realized that success depended on mass electrification, which he showed in New York City. With help from Tesla, Westinghouse's firm developed a system using alternating current, which soon became the major forms of power delivery.
To frame his story, Klein creates the character of Ned, a fictional witness to the progress brought about by the steams and electric revolutions in America during one man's lifetime. It's a technique that helps turn a long narrative into an interesting one.
24. What is Klein's understanding of the age of electricity
A. It is closely linked to the steam age. B. It began earlier than proper thought.
C. It is a little-studied period of history. D. It will come to an end sooner or later.

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项持续数十年的科学研究成果---经常锻炼，身体健康的女性在晚年患失智症的可能性较低，并指出了该研究的局限性。
The benefits of regular exercise are well documented but there's a new bonus to add to the ever-growing list.New researchers found that middle-aged women who were physically fit could be nearly 90 percent less likely to develop dementia(失智症）in later life, and is they did, it came on a decade later than less sporty women.
Lead researcher Dr. Helena Horder, of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, said: "These findings are exciting because it's possible that improving people's cardiovascular(心血管的）fitness in middle age could delay or even prevent them from developing dementia.” For the study, 191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise test until they were exhausted to measure their peak(最大值的）cardiovascular capacity. The average peak workload was measured at 103 watts.
A total of 40 women met the criteria for a high fitness level, or 120 watts or higher. A total of 92 women were in the medium fitness category; and 59 women were in the low fitness category, defined as a peak workload of 80 watts or less, or having their exercise tests stopped because of high blood pressure, chest pain or other cardiovascular problems.
These women were then tested for dementia six times over the following four decades. During that time,44 of the women developed dementia. Five percent of the highly fit women developed dementia, compared to 25 percent of the women with medium fitness and 32 percent of the women with low fitness.
“However, this study does not show cause and effect between cardiovascular fitness and dementia, it only shows an association. More research is needed to see if improved fitness could have a positive effect on the risk of dementia and also to look at when during a lifetime a high fitness level is most important.” She also admitted that a relatively small number of women were studied, all of whom were form Sweden, so the results might not be applicable to other groups.
27. What is on the ever-growing list mentioned in the first paragraph
A. Positive effects of doing exercises. B. Exercises suitable for the middle-aged.
C. Experimental studies on diseases. D. Advantages of sporty woman over man

Lead researcher Dr. Helena Horder, of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, said: "These findings are exciting because it's possible that improving people's cardiovascular(心血管的）fitness in middle age could delay or even prevent them from developing dementia.” For the study, 191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise test until they were exhausted to measure their peak(最大值的）cardiovascular capacity. The average peak workload was measured at 103 watts.
A total of 40 women met the criteria for a high fitness level, or 120 watts or higher. A total of 92 women were in the medium fitness category; and 59 women were in the low fitness category, defined as a peak workload of 80 watts or less, or having their exercise tests stopped because of high blood pressure, chest pain or other cardiovascular problems.
These women were then tested for dementia six times over the following four decades. During that time,44 of the women developed dementia. Five percent of the highly fit women developed dementia, compared to 25 percent of the women with medium fitness and 32 percent of the women with low fitness.
“However, this study does not show cause and effect between cardiovascular fitness and dementia, it only shows an association. More research is needed to see if improved fitness could have a positive effect on the risk of dementia and also to look at when during a lifetime a high fitness level is most important.” She also admitted that a relatively small number of women were studied, all of whom were form Sweden, so the results might not be applicable to other groups.
28. Why did the researchers ask the woman to do bicycle exercise
A. To predict their maximum heart rate. B. To assess their cardiovascular capacity
C. To change their habits of working out D. To detect their potential health problems

Dear Chris，
How is everything going Though it’s long since we met at the China-Ireland Culture Festival, our acquaintance there and the festival itself stay fresh in my memory.
The festival was really a feast, entirely holding me in its power. Do you remember the cultural salon, which featured the typical cultural elements of the two countries, helped me gain a glimpse into the diversity and richness of the two dynamic cultures. And what impressed me most was the Culture Night, where people from both countries presented their well-prepared art performances, which provoked my passion for further understanding of Irish culture legacy.
May we keep in touch and our friendship be everlasting.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
Dear Chris,
How is everything Though it’s been a month since we first met at the week-long Sino-Irish Cultural Exchange held in Shanghai, the activity remains fresh in my memory.
The Youth Forum on the first day, in which teenagers from both countries aired views on future life and social development, made me realize that united, youth can make a real difference. What impressed me most was the art performance on the last night, which featured Chinese and Irish folk dance and music. Amazed at how different art forms could be so well integrated on one stage, I can’t wait to join in the festival to be held next year in Dublin and meet you again!
Stay in touch and best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
Dear Chris,
How’s everything going Despite the separation since our acquaintance in the Sino-Irish Culture Festival, cherished memories came crowding in on my mind.
Happy laughter and cheerful applauses flowing, we participated in diverse activities ranging from exhibitions of visual art to distinctive music and dances of both countries. Personally, I was most fascinated by the classic Irish dance with fancy footwork and the pipe music serving as an audio-visual feast. Undeniably, such a cultural event not only deepened my insight into the exotic Irish culture, but also boosted my confidence in the time-honored domestic culture.
Hopefully, we can keep in touch as cultural envoys!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
When Dr. Henderson was assigning(指定) project mates for his psychology class, I secretly hoped that he would pair me with my best friend or at least a classmate I could have some fun with. Above all, I hoped he wouldn’t assign me to work with the fiercely competitive and extremely serious fellow who always wore dark clothes and apparently had a personality to match. As fate(命运) would have it, Dr. Henderson very deliberately matched everyone in class and announced that I would be working with the one person in class I wanted to avoid.
I went up to my new teammate and introduced myself. He looked at me as though I weren’t there. I felt he treated me as though I would hold him back and probably make him fail to get an A in the course. He wasn’t mean or abusive; he just gave me the impression he could do whatever project we dreamed up better if he did it alone.
Needless to say, I didn’t look forward to an entire team of being brushed off, but I tried to make the best of it and didn’t say anything for fear that I would make things worse.
The project required each team to develop a hypothesis(假设), set up an experiment to test the hypothesis, do the statistical analysis and present the findings. Whatever grade the team received would be shared by both students.
When my teammate and I met to discuss our project, I was uneasy. Here was this challenging student who had a reputation for single-mindedness and good grades—the exact opposite of me. I actually wanted to drop the class at one point, but stopped short because I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of my chickening out. I decided to stick to it no matter what.
After long discussions we somehow agreed to do a study on the psychological well-being of teenagers. I wasn’t sure what it meant exactly, but at least we had a topic.
Para.1 We started to meet regularly to draw up our plans.
Para.2 Then one day I got word that he was admitted to the hospital for a serious disease.
Dr. Henderson paired me with my classmate.
I introduced myself to my teammate.
How did I feel
I: unwilling to be paired with him
I: felt slighted
My teammate: unwilling to cooperate
I: uneasy; determined
Although outmatched, I still decided to stick to the project.

Paragraph 1: We started to meet regularly to draw up our plans. Serious as my teammate was, we gradually grew in good tune with each other. He had a way with technical things and approached every detail with a clear purpose. And I spared no effort to do my bit, collecting data and recording results carefully, so as to make up for my academic disadvantage. I fully discussed my ideas and shared my insights with him, who was once indifferent but later listened to me with close attention. We were making steady progress with our project.
Paragraph 2: One day I got word that he was admitted to hospital for a serious disease. The moment I saw him lying helplessly in bed, I decided I had to act alone and do my best. I assured him I would not let him down and he should concentrate on recovering. I poured more time and energy into that project than ever before, and finally presented our findings to the class, which surprisingly earned us an excellent grade! When I told him about our shared success, he smiled. It had to do with trust and the joy of sharing a common prize.
Paragraph 1: We started to meet regularly to draw up our plans. And gradually I came to understand what our project was about. As he was a fiercely competitive fellow, he put the project totally in his charge, leaving me doing nothing but simply follow his steps and instructions. Though unwilling, I did my part honestly but blindly. As the project progressed, I seemed to get the trick, which built up my confidence and made my teammate slightly relieved. At this point, we started to really team work, running the tests and doing the statistical analysis. With his ambition of getting an “A” and my desire to live up to his ambition, we worked round the clock, exhausted but expectant. 108
Paragraph 2: One day I got word that he was admitted to hospital for a serious disease. Immediately, I hurried to the hospital, where I learned that he had to be hospitalized for quite a while. It meant that we had no alternative but to discontinue our project. Seeing the worry and weakness written on his face, I assured him that I would not let him down and carry on. With all my heart put into the challenging task, I did the analysis accurately and presented our findings amazingly, which won thunderous applause. Our project did end with an “A”. Learning this, he smiled, grateful for my devotion. But to me, what was more important was that I befriended the serious fellow who had originally wanted to avoid.
Paragraph 1: We started to meet regularly to draw up our plans. As expected, my ideas were completely eclipsed by his intelligence during our first few meetings and it seemed that there was no way that I could make a contribution to the project. However, my self-esteem wouldn’t allow me to yield to the challenge and I took a more active part in the test of the hypothesis. Days and nights witnessed my devotion to observing teenagers around us and interviewing them patiently and logically. My dedication gradually melted my teammate’s heart and his attitudes towards me began to change. He was no more an ice cube unwilling to discuss, and instead he listened attentively to my ideas and adopted some from time to time. It was the first time that I had perceived that we could be called a team. Everything seemed to go on so smoothly.
Paragraph 2: One day I got word that he was admitted to hospital for a serious disease. The moment I arrive at his ward, his pale face and tired look told everything. What surprised me even more was that he still inquired about the progress of our project and begged me to finish it alone. At the sight of this pitiful boy’s pleading look, I bet no one would refuse. It was exactly at that moment that I made up my mind I would spare no effort to achieve a satisfying shared grade. In the following days, my teammate’s single-minded pursuit of academic excellence supported me in checking the statistics and having a rehearsal for a thousand times. Finally the moment to present our findings came. From Dr. Gullickson’s expression, I could tell our project was a huge success. When asked about the secret of our successful project, I grinned, exposing a set of amazingly white teeth and answered without hesitation, “Cooperation!” I just couldn’t wait to tell my teammate our shared triumph!
