However, it is not always easy to be a good team. Let’s learn how to build a strong team together! A good leader is the heart of a successful team. Leaders should cheer teammates up, listen to ideas, help solve problems and so on. For example, leaders can praise team members’ efforts and help them set clear goals. When leaders show kindness and confidence, team members will feel safe and encouraged. Communication is the glue that holds teams together. We need to express our feelings and ideas clearly so that we can understand each other better. Good communication helps us a lot during teamwork. Disagreements are normal in any team. When arguments happen, don’t run away! The best way is to solve problems face to face quickly. The leader should help people talk calmly and listen to their opinions instead of taking sides. The team leader must set a good example. If the leader arrives late or is tired of work, team members might follow. But if the leader works hard with a smile, everyone will feel encouraged. A leader’s spirit is like sunshine that lights up the whole team. No matter what our age or job is, teamwork skills are so important. When we work together, we can get over challenges and create wonderful results. Let’s practice being good team members and leaders today. 1．Who is the heart of a successful team?___________________________________________________________________2．What should we do to make everyone understand each other better?___________________________________________________________________3．What is the best way to solve problems?___________________________________________________________________4．When will team members feel safe and encouraged?___________________________________________________________________5．What do you think is the most important quality for a team leader?

What’s the secret to remembering what you learn?THE LEARNING PYRAMID (金字塔) The “learning pyramid” suggests that most students only remember 5% from lectures (讲授). They remember 10% of what they read from textbooks, but get nearly 90% of what they learn through teaching others.The most common form of teaching others is Peer Tutoring (同伴辅导). It is a really fun and helpful way to learn. It means that we teach each other and help each other. We like peer tutoring because it makes learning more exciting and it makes us feel like we are part of a team.To do peer tutoring, we can take turns being the teacher. The teacher explains a subject, and the student tries to understand it. If the student doesn’t get it right away, the teacher helps them understand it. It’s important to ask questions and give positive feedback (积极反馈) to each other. Then, they can both learn and have fun at the same time.Peer tutoring is really good for our brains because it helps us remember things better. When we teach others, we have to think about it really hard to make sure we explain it right. And when others teach us, we need to listen carefully and try to understand what they’re saying. This helps us learn better. So if you’re looking for a way to make learning more fun and effective, try peer tutoring! You’ll be surprised at how much you can learn from each other. 1．How much can most students remember from what they read from textbooks?___________________________________________________________________2．Why do we like peer tutoring?___________________________________________________________________3．How do we do peer tutoring?___________________________________________________________________4．What do we need to do when others teach us?___________________________________________________________________5．Do you like learning by teaching others?

But social anxiety disorder (SAD) (社交焦虑症), or social phobia (社交恐惧症), is more than just shyness. It includes a strong fear of certain social situations. They may be afraid that people will think badly of them. So they try to avoid social situations.Social phobia has a bad influence on their relationships, performance in school or at work, and daily life. So people with social phobia make efforts to stop it. Unluckily, they usually fail. For example, a person with a phobia of speaking in public prepares his speech again and again to make sure he does not fail. However, this only makes him pay more attention to any mistakes he makes. Even a small mistake may make him anxious (焦虑的).PHOBIAS BY AGE AND GENDER So here comes the question: Can social anxiety be overcome? Here are some ideas. Number the social activitiesNumber the social activities based on how anxious you feel from 1 to 10. Number 1 means the activity gives you the least anxiety. Taking small steps means doing several activities numbered“1”every week. Once you feel better, you can try other activities numbered“2”“3” and so forth. Record your thoughtsWrite down your feelings and how you deal with them in social situations. And write down things you can improve on. Gradually, you will find the cause and the solution. If you find yourself a little nervous in social situations, just actively face it. You can learn to be comfortable in social situations and enjoy your life.1．When might people with social phobia feel anxious? (One example is OK.)

With this spirit, people try hard to make their team the best of all. Everyone has experienced team spirit one way or another, whether they were part of a team or saw a group of people cheer for their favorite player or team. There are different kinds of team spirit. One kind is the connection between a team of people because their efforts and cooperation are necessary in reaching a particular (特定的) goal. Another kind is when a group of people support a person or a team. Another is people’s natural love for and pride in their country, when a whole nation cheers for its country in competitions. Team spirit creates various good effects. It creates friendship and trust (信任) among people who may not get along when they don't have such team spirit. There may also be bad effects. Too great team spirit may cause (引起) arguments or fights with other team members. Some people don’t understand team spirit properly. They think team spirit means having to become an official member of an organization, team or fan club. In fact, team spirit can be built anywhere—among friends, co­workers or even between two people sitting next to each other. You don’t have to be wearing the team spirit clothes. Anyone can show team spirit just by showing support for the goal. 1．What does team spirit mean?___________________________________________________________________2．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?___________________________________________________________________3．What good effects does team spirit create?___________________________________________________________________4．Do you think team spirit is important?

I used to work in an office, but now I work alone at home. It made me wonder: Why does teamwork cause problems instead of solving them? Some people just want things their way. In a team, there’s often someone who talks the loudest or acts selfishly (自私地). Others might agree with them even if their ideas aren’t good. Teamwork feels like solving a puzzle (谜) with missing pieces when different personalities mix. It’s impossible to work well in those cases. Time is another problem. Once, I was on a team that never met enough. We were all busy and had no time to talk about good plans. Teams need hours together to share ideas and listen—like a football team that practices every day. If players don’t train, they can’t win games. Many teams also don’t learn how to work together. Trust doesn’t magically appear. You can’t throw strangers into a room and say, “Be a team!” You need to learn to respect each other and solve problems step by step. But most teams never get this training. Working alone isn’t perfect, though. When my computer breaks, I miss having helpers nearby. When I think of a cool idea, there’s no one to ask, “Is this good?” Making all the decisions myself is fun, but it’s lonely too. Still, I like my quiet “me team” better now. I decide everything, and there’s no arguing—quite independent! But I finally understand why my old teams failed. Good teamwork needs patience, time, and people who care about each other. Maybe one day, if I learn to fix those problems, my “me team” could grow into a real “we team.” After all, even the best players need a team to win. 1．Why did the writer leave teamwork for working alone? (No more than 8 words)___________________________________________________________________2．Why does the writer compare selfish team members to “a puzzle with missing pieces”? (No more than 8 words)___________________________________________________________________3．What does the football team example show about teamwork? (No more than 6 words)___________________________________________________________________4．What happens when teams don’t solve the problems step-by-step? (No more than 3 words)___________________________________________________________________5．Why does the writer call his team a “me team” but still want a “we team”? (With a sentence)___________________________________________________________________06（24-25八年级下·山西吕梁·期中）请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题。It’s very common to have different opinions with our friends. When we have different thoughts with our friends, the most important thing is to share ourselves with them. But we should be careful about how we express (表达) our opinions. Here are some tips.First, listen carefully to other people. You should listen to others explain their opinions first. This will help keep the conversation calm. And you will also better understand their side in the conversation. Next, ▲ . Remember, you should express your opinions and you don’t mean to argue with your friends, so it’s necessary to be polite (有礼貌的). Winning or losing is not the point. Don’t try to make your friends think like you.Last but most importantly, show your friends that you value your friendship, even if you disagree about some things. This can stop both of you from becoming too emotional (情绪化的).In the future, you may have different opinions with many people. In fact, this can be a good thing. You can even learn from it. For example, sometimes you may not realize that your ideas are wrong. But by sharing them with others, you can learn something new, according to Li Songwei, a psychologist from Beijing. 1．What is the most important thing when we have different thoughts with friends?___________________________________________________________________2．Why should we listen to others first? （One example is OK.）___________________________________________________________________3．What’s the best subtitle (小标题) for Paragraph 3?___________________________________________________________________4．How can we stop our friends and us from becoming too emotional?___________________________________________________________________5．What do you think of the advice in the chart?

To communicate well is to understand and to be understood. Communication can be successful only when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information. Good communication skills are keys to success in life, work and relationships. Without effective (有效的) communication, a message can turn into error, misunderstanding, or even disaster. In today’s highly informational and technological environment, it has become more important to have good communication skills. Here are some important steps to communicate effectively.Know what you want to say and why. Understand clearly the purpose of your message. Know to whom you are communicating and why. How will you say it? We all know that it’s not always what you say, but how you say it , that matters. Begin by making eye contact. You show trust and confidence when you look at others in the eyes when you speak. Second, pay attention to your body language, since it can say so much more than your words. By standing with your arms easily at your side, you tell others that you are open to hearing what they have to say. Communication is a two-way street. After you have said what you have to say, stop and listen. Practice your listening skills. Be considerate of others who are talking. listen carefully and never cut them off. 1．What is communication? ___________________________________________________________________2．What can a message turn into if you don’t have effective communication? ___________________________________________________________________3．Why should you pay attention to your body language when communicating?___________________________________________________________________4．How many steps are mentioned to have an effective communication in this message? ___________________________________________________________________5．What advice will you give about good communication skills? （自拟一句话作答）___________________________________________________________________08Nowadays, many people want to look for dazi (搭子) or partners for doing many things. Unlike friendship (友谊), the idea of dazi is simple—people with the same interests come together to do things. Dazi can appear (出现) in many different ways in our daily life from eating to studying or working. It helps people find others with the same hobbies and doesn’t take up too much of their time.A girl called Mu Qing, a high school student from Hangzhou, enjoys talking with her meal dazi when she is having lunch. “We love to share our ideas on the food.” said the girl, “If my meal dazi doesn’t come to school one day, I will be upset.” Dazi is usually helpful, but it can be dangerous sometimes. People sometimes find dazi on the Internet to work together, like playing games. Some people may lie (撒谎) on the Internet. For example, a young and beautiful girl on the Internet may be an old and heavy man in real life. So think twice when finding dazi.1．Why do many people want to look for dazi? .2．What’s the difference between dazi and friendship? .3．What kind of dazi does Mu Qing have? .4．Why may it be dangerous sometimes if you find dazi online? .5．Do you think dazi is helpful? What will you do to improve your study if you have a study dazi? .09The idea of teamwork is very important to the success of any team. All coaches talk about working as one unit or as a team that plays as one. Teamwork and unselfishness（无私） create a great team; without them a team cannot play well against other teams. You can have a group of superstars, but if they do not work well as one unit, they are not going to be successful. The team working as one unit is going to be successful. Here are some things to consider when you are looking at your team:Does your team have agreed upon goals they created as a team? Do the players openly encourage and support one another? Do they have open communication with one another, as well as the coaches? Does each player know what their role in the team is? Is there shared respect among the players and coaches? Do the players use words such as “we” when referring to the team? Have they created a positive team image for themselves? Does the team as a whole want to improve their performance? Does each member consider themselves as a “team player”? A winning team has players that share common goals and a common dream. Teams come together through shared attitudes about a particular sport. They may come together for a number of different reasons, but their goals are the same—to achieve top performance and experience success. The ends may be different but the means by which one gets there is the same—teamwork. Teamwork is something that must be on top of the list. Every player needs to understand how important it is for them to work smoothly together if they want to be successful. Each player must be true to the whole team and be willing to act unselfishly. When challenges（挑战） come, the team needs to deal with them in a positive manner. A sense of teamwork will play an important part in this. Just remember T. E. A．M. —Together Everyone Achieves More!1．What can make a great team?___________________________________________________________________2．How many things should be considered when you are looking at your team?___________________________________________________________________3．How do teams come together according to the passage?___________________________________________________________________4．What will a team need to do when challenges come?___________________________________________________________________5．If you were a team leader, which one teamwork element (from the article) would you focus on most? Why and how to practice it?___________________________________________________________________10（25-26八年级上·上海·单元测试）The Power of Teamwork in SportsSports are a great way to learn about teamwork. Whether it’s a basketball game, a soccer match, or a relay race, working together as a team is essential for success. Take basketball, for example. A basketball team has five players on the court. Each player has a different role: the point guard controls the ball and sets up plays, the shooting guard scores points, the small forward is versatile and can do many things, the power forward rebounds and defends, and the center is tall and blocks shots. If each player only thinks about their own performance, the team will not do well. But if they pass the ball to each other, help defend, and work together, they have a better chance of winning.In a relay race, teamwork is even more important. Each runner has to pass a baton to the next runner. If the pass is not smooth, the team might lose the race. So, the runners practice passing the baton again and again until they can do it perfectly. They also support each other, cheering each other on during the race. Soccer is another sport where teamwork is key. The players have to communicate with each other on the field, telling each other where the opponents are and where to pass the ball. They have to trust each other, knowing that their teammates will be there to help. A single player can’t win a soccer game alone; it takes the whole team working together. Teamwork in sports teaches us many important lessons. It teaches us to communicate with others, to trust our teammates, and to work towards a common goal. It also teaches us that winning is not everything; what’s important is how we play the game and how we support each other. So, the next time you watch or play a sport, remember the power of teamwork. It’s what makes a good team great. 1．What is essential for success in sports according to the passage?___________________________________________________________________2．How many players are there on the court in a basketball team?___________________________________________________________________3．What do runners practice again and again in a relay race?___________________________________________________________________4．What does teamwork in sports teach us?___________________________________________________________________5．What makes a good team great according to the passage?___________________________________________________________________How to Show Different ViewsWhen you have different opinions from others, do you know how to express them politely?Here is some advice you can start with.●I respect your point. But I’m not sure if I agree with you. What do you think about…instead?●I understand your opinion. But can I give my own opinion? It may not be completely right. How about discussing it together?
