Few of us act alone in the real world. Most things are done with the help or ideas of other people. Group projects are great practice for high school, college, and real life, when you will probably have a job that requires working with others. Right now, group projects can be fun and they often allow you to do a bigger, more interesting project than you could alone. With group work, you can actually learn more in less time.
Group projects also give you a chance to get to know kids you might not otherwise know or talk with. Group projects are also a great way to practice skills you’re not so sure of. For example: working on a deadline, staying organized, or being patient. And if you’re a little nervous talking in front of a group, a joint project can help you become more comfortable with it. Maybe your group will pick you to tell the whole class about your project. If so, you’ll know your whole group is rooting for you!
One of the most important things about group work is talking and meeting together. It’s a good idea to continually check with everybody on their progress to see if anyone needs help. You might think the first step is to figure out who will do what, but actually it’s getting to know another a little. Take a few minutes to chat. Even if you know each other well, it can help to take a minute to think about your skills and share your strengths and weaknesses. The second step is to go over ground rules from your teacher and any that you want to create together as a group.
小题1:Group projects can give you a chance to do the following EXCEPT ________. | A．get to know more friends | B．learn more than you do alone | | C．work in an organized way | D．get rid of shyness forever |
小题2:The underlined phrase “root for” in the second paragraph means _______.| A．like | B．support | C．offer | D．prevent |
小题3:What’s the purpose in checking others’ progress?| A．To learn what they will do next. | | B．To find good topics to talk with them about. | | C．To help them when they need help. | | D．To make sure that their work is finished on time. |
小题4: According to the passage, we can infer that _______. | A．group members should be your close friends | | B．talking with group members should be the first step of group work | | C．knowing persons is more important than your projects | | D．rules from teachers are more important than working among group members |

Reading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past. There is another large reservoir (知识库) which may be called experience, and the college students will find that every craftsman (工匠) has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them. The information from them differs from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical (理论的) part -- the explanations of why things happen -- is frequently quite fantastic (神奇的) . But the demonstration (示范) and report of what happens, and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms. Presently the college students will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he.
Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down from father to son , or mother to daughter, of old country customs ,of folklore (风俗). All this is very difficult for a college student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass.The college students should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries of what had existed in this area long age.
小题1: In the last paragraph the phrase "this wide, confused wilderness" refers to _____.| A．personal experience | | B．wild weeds among good plants | | C．the information from the parents | | D．the vast store of traditional practices |
小题2: Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?| A．The college students have trouble separating good plants from wild grass | | B．Craftsman’s experience is usually unscientific | | C．The contemptuous (傲慢的) college students will receive nothing from craftsmen | | D．Traditional practices are as important as experience for the college students |
小题3: The author advises the college students to ______ .| A．be contemptuous to the craftsman | | B．be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific terms | | C．learn the craftsman’s experience by judging it carefully | | D．gain the craftsman’s experience without rejection |
小题4: The main idea of this passage is about ________.| A．what to learn from the parents | B．how to gain knowledge | | C．why to learn from craftsman | D．how to deal with experience |

There are only about 1,000 Hawaiian monk seals(夏威夷僧海豹) left and its population is going down 4% a year. Hawaiian monk seals are found in the northwest part of the Hawaiian Islands. They spend a lot of time at sea. They are able to dive 600 feet deep, and can stay under water for up to 20 minutes. Adults grow up to seven feet long, and weigh between 400 and 600 pounds. They can live as long as 30 years.
These seals are born on land. Every year, usually in May or June, females find sandy beaches and give birth to a single baby. The female seals avoid beaches where the water becomes deep very quickly because this lets sharks swim close to land and catch the seals.
Mothers stay with their babies for six weeks. During that entire time, they do not leave the beach even to eat. Instead, they live off fat that they have stored up over the previous year and feed their babies with fat-rich milk. After six weeks, mothers go back to the sea. The young have to live on their own.
Human disturbance(打扰) has been regarded as the important factor in the decrease of the monk seals. In fact, if human come too near a mother seal too often, she will go out to the sea. Unfortunately, this usually means death for the baby. It is now against the law for people to come within 100 yards of a seal on a beach.
Recent research has shown that the decrease in the Hawaiian monk seal population is due to lack of survival of these seals at one of the most important breeding(繁殖) beaches at French Frigate Shoals. Also, seals often get trapped in fishermen and by changes in weather patterns. If these threats(威胁) were not enough, during the breeding season, males will attack females until they are badly injured or finally killed.
小题1:What can we learn about Hawaiian monk seals?| A．They are in danger of dying out. | | B．They spend most of the time on the beach. | | C．They are the largest animals on the Hawaiian Islands. | | D．They can stay under water as long as they like. |
小题2:According to the text, a seal baby______.| A．is born at sea | | B．is fed on fat by the mother | | C．stays with its parents all life | | D．is looked after by its mother for 6 weeks |
小题3:It can be inferred from the text that______.| A．sharks are a threat to Hawaiian monk seals | | B．male monk seals fight each other for females in the breeding season | | C．when disturbed by people, the mother seal will protect the baby seal | | D．Hawaiian monk seals give birth usually in July |
小题4:What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?| A．Ways to protect Hawaiian monk seals。 | | B．The struggle of Hawaiian monk seals to survive. | | C．The reasons for the decline(减少) of Hawaiian monk seals. | | D．The influence of climate change on Hawaiian monk seals. |

The works of Shakespeare and Wordsworth are “rocket-boosters” to the brain and better therapy than self-help books, researchers will say this week.
Scientists, psychologists and English academics at Liverpool University have found that reading the works of the Bard and other classical writers has a beneficial effect on the mind, catches the reader’s attention and cause moments of self-reflection.
Using scanners, they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read works by William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, T.S Eliot and others.
They then “translated” the texts into more “straightforward”, modern language and again monitored the readers’ brains as they read the words.
Scans showed that the more “challenging” prose （散文）and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain than the more pedestrian versions.
Scientists were able to study the brain activity as it responded to each word and record how it “lit up” as the readers encountered unusual words, surprising phrases or difficult sentence structure.
This “lighting up” of the mind lasts longer than the initial electrical spark, shifting the brain to a higher gear, encouraging further reading.
The research also found that reading poetry, in particular, increases activity in the right hemisphere （半球）of the brain, an area concerned with “autobiographical memory”, helping the reader to reflect on and reappraise their own experiences in light of what they have read. The academics said this meant the classics were more useful than self-help books.
Philip Davis, an English professor who has worked on the study with the university’s magnetic resonance centre, will tell a conference this week: “Serious literature acts like a rocket-booster to the brain.
"The research shows the power of literature to shift mental pathways, to create new thoughts, shapes and connections in the young and the elderly alike.”
小题1:How do classics such as Shakespeare and Wordsworth benefit the readers?| A．They set off far less electrical activity in the brain. | | B．They light up the mind shorter than the initial electrical spark. | | C．They shift physical pathways in the young and the elderly. | | D．They draw readers’ attention and help make self-examination. |
小题2:Why does the author mention” They then” translated”… modern language“？| A．To prove that classics are more useful than ordinary versions. | | B．To show self-help books act like rocket-boosters to the brain. | | C．To tell serious literature sets off far less electrical activity. | | D．To make known ordinary versions set off more electrical activity |
小题3:What can we conclude according to the researchers?| A．Self-help books are more valuable than classics. | | B．Serious literature lights up the mind shorter than ordinary versions. | | C．The right hemisphere of the brain is related to autobiographical memory. | | D．Literature has a beneficial effect only on the mind of the young. |
小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?| A．Ordinary Versions Create New Thoughts | | B．Modern Language Increases the Brain | | C．Classics Help lmprove the Brain Activity | | D．Self-help Books, Rocket-boosters |
