Do you do team projects at school I do a lot. I enjoy team projects because I like sharing ideas with other people. Of course, team activities aren’t always easy. You need to know how to work well together. Here are some suggestions to make team work easier.
1 Know the goals Make sure everyone understands the goal of the project. If you’re doing a class project, you need to check the teacher’s instructions carefully and ask questions whenever something isn’t clear. There’s a popular saying: If you don’t know where you’re going, you probably won’t get there.
2 Assign (指派) roles Everyone should have a role in the team. For example, there should be a leader who helps everyone make decisions. There might be a note-taker who writes down the team’s ideas during meetings, and a time-keeper to control the time. There might also be a fact-checker or a group speaker.
3 Divide the work For large projects, the work can be divided into smaller tasks. Then you can choose tasks that you do well or enjoy. Of course, you shouldn’t always do the same task. It’s good to try new things, even if they’re difficult!
4 Make a plan After you divide the work, write down a plan on paper. You can use a calendar to help you. List all the tasks and think about when each one must be finished. It’s important for everyone to follow the plan. And if you can’t finish your part on time, tell the others as soon as possible.
Try to be positive (积极的). Everything is easier when you’re enjoying yourself in the team.

Progress means the act of going forward. Making any kind of progress can make us healthy and happy in life. By setting and actively working towards our goals, we can make progress in our life.
To make more progress in life, start looking at problems in a different way. Whatever happens, if we think positively, it can be useful and helpful. We need to know that problems are part of our life. After we solve problems one after another, we can make more progress and become stronger.
Having confidence (信心) is helpful for us to make progress. Confidence comes from different places, such as proper education, training or having good relationships. We should also stay with people who believe in our success and actively support us. These people can help push us towards progress.
Slow progress is still progress. Just as the old saying goes, “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. ” Progress usually comes a lot more slowly than we expect. Even if progress is slow, try not to be worried. One important thing is that we keep taking steps towards our goals, and another is that we clearly remember what our goals are all the time. The actual speed isn’t important.
The road to progress is not always smooth. Most progress often comes with setbacks along the way. Sometimes, maybe it feels like we’re taking one step forward and three steps back, but it won’t always be like that. Keep going towards our goals and we can much more easily make the progress we want.
Progress doesn’t always happen in a straight line. As long as we keep working, we will achieve higher levels.
(C)19. What does Paragraph 3 tell us
A. We should support different people.
B. Some people can push us to failure.
C. Confidence helps us make progress.
D. Different schools expect the same progress.
(B)20. What does the writer say about slow progress
A. It often goes smoothly.
B. It still means progress.
C. It sometimes stops progress.
D. It always gives us a clear mind.

Poems from Tang and Song dynasties, operas from Yuan Dynasty, and novels from Ming and Qing dynasties are very famous in China’s history. Today, I’d like to recommend Song of Autumn, one of the poems by Liu Yuxi(772-842), a famous poet and writer in the mid Tang Dynasty.
Just as shown in the first line of the poem, most ancient poets liked to describe autumn as a sad time, but in this poem the season appears differently. In Liu’s eyes, autumn, full of life and hope, is even better than spring morning. He describes the bright scene of a crane riding the clouds and flying into the blue sky.
With his poems paying special attention to expressing personal feelings, as well as the daily life of common people, Liu wrote poems with beautiful music-like words. You may feel it in this poem. Though being translated thoughtfully by experienced Xu Yuanchong, the poem still reads not so beautifully as that in Chinese. I personally think that English is sometimes not so powerful as Chinese.
Here is another example, in Liu’s essay An Eulogium on a Humble Cell(《陋室铭》), with less than 100 words, he shows a lively picture of his humble cell. However, it also shows how he was pleased with the poor and simple life. People may find it strange that one can feel happy living in such a humble cell. Learning from his famous sentence, “be fragrant because of my virtues”(斯是陋室, 惟吾德馨), I think to be a respectable man is more important than to live in big houses, to wear beautiful clothes, to enjoy delicious food, and even to gain knowledge.
(D)23. How was autumn in Liu’s eyes at that time
A. He thought it was a sad time.
B. He thought that autumn was rather cloudy.
C. He thought spring was better.
D. He thought autumn was a hopeful season.
(A)24. Which of the following is the feature of Liu Yuxi’s works according to the passage
A. Expressing personal feelings.
B. Describing daily life of young people.
C. Picturing blue sky and a crane.
D. Writing songs according to music.
(C)25. How did Liu feel about living in a humble cell in the writer’s opinion
A. Strange. B. Unhappy C. Satisfied. D. Lonely.
(A)26. Influenced by Liu Yuxi, which of the following does the writer think is the most important
A. To be a respectable man.
B. To live in a big house.
C. To wear beautiful clothes.
D. To gain more knowledge.

It was my first day at school. It was also Miss Caroline’s first day to be a teacher.
Miss Caroline began the day by reading us a story about cats. Then she started to teach us the alphabet (字母表).
When Miss Caroline discovered that I was literate (有读写能力的), she said, “Tell your father not to teach you any more. It’s best to begin reading and writing with a fresh mind. ”
After supper that night, Atticus sat down with the paper and called, “Scout, ready to read ”
I told Atticus I didn’t feel very well and didn’t think I’d go to school any more if it was all right with him.
“You never went to school and you do all right, so I’ll just stay home too. You can teach me like Grandaddy taught you. ”
“No, I can’t, ” said Atticus. “I have to make a living. Besides, they’d put me in prison if I kept you at home. Now what’s the matter ”
I told him what happened at school. “Miss Caroline said you taught me all wrong, so we can’t ever read any more. Please don’t send me back, please sir. ”
“First of all, ” he said, “if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of people. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view—”
“Sir ”
“—until you climb into his skin and walk around in it. ”
Atticus continued, “You learned many things today. Miss Caroline learned several things herself. We could not expect her to learn all our ways in one day, and we should understand her when she knew no better. ”
“But if I keep on going to school, we can’t ever read any more. . . ”
“That’s really worrying you, isn’t it ”
“Yes, sir. ”
When Atticus looked at me, I saw the look on his face that always made me expect something. “Do you know what a compromise (妥协) is ” he asked.
“Breaking the law ”
“No, an agreement. It works this way, ” he said. “If you promise me to go to school, we’ll go on reading every night as usual. Is it OK ”
“Yes sir!”
(D)27. What happened to Scout on her first day at school
A. She was not able to read the alphabet.
B. She lost interest in reading and writing.
C. She couldn’t follow Miss Caroline in class.
D. She was asked to stop learning from Atticus.
(D)28. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 11 mean
A. To play a small trick on him.
B. To walk hand in hand with him.
C. To tell him about your thoughts.
D. To think from his point of view.
(A)29. What did Scout agree to do towards the end of the story
A. Go to school. B. Stay at home.
C. Teach herself. D. Make a living.
(C)30. What can we infer from the passage

People say laughter is the best medicine, but sometimes too much of a good thing may not be so good. What happened to me last night made me deeply understand the meaning of that.
Last night I was alone at home. When I was watching a funny movie, I suddenly started laughing and couldn’t stop myself. At first, I was feeling good. But after about 5 minutes, I came to know I wasn’t going to stop at all. I began to feel a little worried.
Time for bed. But I couldn’t sleep because I kept laughing. So I got up and started doing some housework. I cleaned my apartment, laughing hard. I washed all the dishes left over from dinner, still laughing crazily. I tried to hold my cat in my arms, but it ran away from me in fear. I spent the rest of the night in front of my computer, of course, still laughing.
When time finally came to get ready for work, I realized that I simply couldn’t go to the office like that. I decided to call my boss for leave, but laughing was the only thing I could do on the phone.
After listening to my “lovely” laughter for a few minutes, my boss couldn’t help shouting angrily, “Are you mad You’re fired(解雇)!”
Suddenly I woke up. Thank goodness! I just had a dream.

“No, I can’t, ” said Atticus. “I have to make a living. Besides, they’d put me in prison if I kept you at home. Now what’s the matter ”
I told him what happened at school. “Miss Caroline said you taught me all wrong, so we can’t ever read any more. Please don’t send me back, please sir. ”
“First of all, ” he said, “if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of people. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view—”
“Sir ”
“—until you ”
Atticus continued, “You learned many things today. Miss Caroline learned several things herself. We could not expect her to learn all our ways in one day, and we should understand her when she knew no better. ”
“But if I keep on going to school, we can’t ever read any more. . . ”
“That’s really worrying you, isn’t it ”
“Yes, sir. ”
When Atticus looked at me, I saw the look on his face that always made me expect something. “Do you know what a compromise (妥协) is ” he asked.
“Breaking the law ”
“No, an agreement. It works this way, ” he said. “If you promise me to go to school, we’ll go on reading every night as usual. Is it OK ”
“Yes sir!”
