Whether in the workplace or on the football field, effective teamwork can produce amazing results. However, working successfully as a team is not as easy as it may seem. Effective teamwork certainly does not just happen automatically; it takes a great deal of hard work and compromise. There are a number of factors that must be in place to make a good team.
Effective leadership is one of the most important factors of good teamwork. The team’s leader should possess the skills to create and preserve a positive working environment and motivate and inspire the team members to take a positive approach to work and be highly committed. An effective team leader will promote a high level of spirit and make them feel supported and valued.
Communication is a vital factor of all interpersonal relationship and especially that of a team. Team members must be able to articulate their feelings, express plans and goals, share ideas and see each other’s opinions.
Conflicts will arise no matter how well a team functions together. The best way to deal with conflicts is to have some organized methods of handling conflicts. Team members should be able to voice their concerns without fear of offending others. Instead of avoiding conflict issues, a hands-on approach that settles them quickly is much better. It is often advised that the team leader sit with the conflicting parties and help work out their differences without taking sides and trying to remain objective if possible.
The team leader must set a good example to create good teamwork. In order to keep team members positive and committed and motivated, the team leader himself needs to show these qualities. The team turns to the leader for support and guidance. So any negative words or behaviors on the leader’s part can be disastrous.
Regardless of what type of work you are in, knowing how to effectively work on and with a team is going to be extremely important to your success and that of your team.

Yawning sends out certain messages -either “Oh,this movie is so boring” or “I probably need to get some sleep”. But did you know that a yawn can also help your brain to cool down when it is overheated?
A new study, led by a research team at Princeton University, has indicated that yawning could be the brain’s natural way of regulating temperature. People yawn more often when the temperature outdoors is lower than their body temperature but are less likely to yawn when it is hotter outdoors, according to Sciencedaily. com.
The research team did an experiment on 160 people, 80 in summer and 80 in winter, to examine how often they yawned at different air temperatures. The study found that people yawned more often in winter than in summer. Scientists say that when the air temperature is lower outside the body, there is heat exchange between the overheated brain and the cool air. But when the air temperature is higher than or equal to the body, people are less likely to yawn because the hot air they breathe in will make the brain even hotter.
When people yawn, their jaw is also stretched,which increases blood flow and may also help cool the brain
The study showed that the amount someone yawned could be related to the amount of time they spent outside. The longer they spent outside in summer, the less they yawned. Nearly 40 percent of participants yawned within their first five minutes outside, but after that the percentage was reduced to less than 10 percent.
However, the result was the opposite in winter. The number of people who yawned increased when they spent more than five minutes outdoors. But the change was only slight compared to summertime.
According to Gallup, this is the first report to show that yawning frequencies change depending on season. This could help us to understand better the way our brains work. It may also help us understand the reason why frequent yawning can sometimes be a sign of brain disease.
小题1:The purpose of the experiment is ______.
A.to find the frequency of people’s yawning
B.to indicate brain can regulate temperature naturally
C.to prove people yawn in winter and in summer equally
D.to show the real reason why people yawn
小题2:The information we get from Paragraphs 5 and 6 is that ______.
A.longer outdoor summertime results in more yawns
B.yawning frequency increases with outdoor time
C.yawning frequency changes with outdoor time
D.longer outdoor wintertime leads to fewer yawns
小题3:Acorrding to the text,people yawn more often ______.
A.when the air temperature is equal to the body
B.when the hot air breathed in makes the brain hotter
C.when the air temperature is higher than the body
D.when the air temperature is lower outside the body
小题4:What could be the best title for the text?
A.Yawning Is A Sign of Brain Disease
B.Yawning Cools Your Brain
C.Yawning Benefits Your Body
D.Yawning Carries Some Information

On the first day of your Senior High you must meet many new classmates. Do you want to make friends with them? Do you know how to make friends with them? The following article will tell you how to do it.
Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it improves      practice. If you want to meet people and make friends you must be      to take action. You must first go to places where there are people. You won’t make friends      at home alone. Join a club or group, for talking with those who      the same experience as you is easier, and      them in some activities.
Many people are      when talking to strangers. After all, meeting strangers means facing     , and it’s human nature to      a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.
Most of our fears about dealing with strange people      from doubts about ourselves. We      other people are judging us, thinking us too tall or too short, too this or too that.     , don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself      you are, and try to put the other person at ease. You’ll      feel more comfortable.
Try to act self-confidently      you don’t feel that way      you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk straight, look      at other people and smile. If you see someone you’d like to     , say something. Don’t wait for the other people to      a conversation.
Just meeting someone      doesn’t mean that you will make friends with that person. Friendship is      on mutual(相互的)liking and “give and take”. It takes time and effort to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.

The blue eyes that looked at him from outside the door were like the light through a maginifying glass (放大镜) when it is at its brightest and smallest, when paper and leaves begin to smoke.
"Hey . "  said the man in the door.  " Remember me? "
" Yes. "  the boy said. whispering.  "Rick. "
He felt so surprised to see Rick. All of Rick seemed to be shown in the eyes. With a strong feeling that ought to have hurt him.
" You knew me."  Rick said.  " You hadn"t forgotten. "
" You"re--just the same. " the boy said. and felt much thankful.
He seemed even to be wearing the same clothes, the same blue shirt and grey trousers. He was thin, but he was built to be lean; and he was still, or again. sunburnt. After everything, the slow white smile still showed the slight feeling of happiness.
" Let"s look at you." Rick said, dropping into a chair. Then slowly he felt more at home, and he became once more just Rick as if nothing had happened. There were lines about his eyes. and deeper lines on his cheeks. but he looked like-just Rick, lined by sunfight and smiling.

Ideas about polite behavior are different from one culture to another. Some societies, such as America and Australia for example, are mobile and very open. People here change jobs and move house quite often. As a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So it"s normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.
On the other hand there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example, will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.
To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it"s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don"t want to answer.
Cross-cultural differences aren"t just a problem for travelers, but also for the flights that carry them. All flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are different from place to place. This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with.
Some societies have "universalist" cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way.
"Particularist" societies, on the other hand, also have rules, but they are less important than the society"s unwrinen ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.
This difference can cause problems. A traveler from a particularist society, India, is checking in for a flight in Germany, a country which has a universalist culture. The Indian traveler has too much luggage, but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time and the suitcases are full of presents for his family. He expects that the check-in official will understand his problem and will change the rules for him. The check-in official explains that if he was allowed to have too much luggage, it wouldn"t be fair to the other passengers. But the traveler thinks this is unfair, because the other passengers don"t have his problem.

A.There is no rule for people to obey.
B.People obey the society"s rules completely.

A Charlotte N.C. man was charged with first-degree murder of a 79-year-old woman whom police said he scared to death. Can the guy be held responsible for the woman’s death? Prosecutors (公诉人) said that he can under the state’s murder rule, which allows someone to be charged with murder if he or she causes another person’s death while committing or fleeing from a severe crime—even if he or she doesn’t kill someone on purpose.
But, medically speaking, can someone actually be frightened to death? We asked Martin Samuels, chairman of the neurology department at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
Absolutely, no question about it.
The body has a natural protective method called the fight-or-flight response, which was originally described by Walter Cannon,chairman of Harvard University’s physiology department from 1906 to 1942. If, in the wild, an animal is faced with a life-threatening situation, the automatic nervous system responds by increasing heart rate, increasing blood flow to the muscles, and slowing digestion, among other things. All of this increases the chances of succeeding in a fight or running away from an aggressive beast. This process certainly would be of help to early humans. However, in the modern world there is obvious decline of the fight-or-flight response.
The autonomic nervous system uses the chemical messenger to send signals to various parts of the body to activate the fight-or-flight response. This chemical is poisonous in large amounts; it damages the organs such as the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. It is believed that almost all sudden deaths are caused by damage to the heart. There is almost no other organ that would fail so fast as to cause sudden death.
By the way, any strong positive or negative emotions such as happiness or sadness can cause the same result. There are people who have died in excitement or in religious passion. There was a case of a golfer who hit a hole in one, turned to his partner and said, “I can die now”, and then he dropped dead.
小题1:What is Martin Samuels’ attitude to the possibility of being frightened to death?
A.Approval.B.Disapproval.C.Doubtful.D.Indifferent.
小题2:What can we learn about the fight-or-flight response according to the passage?
A.The fight-or-flight response was raised and proved by Martin Samuels.
B.It is a natural protective method that can’t be found in all creatures but humans.
C.The ancient humans had a better fight-or-flight response than modern ones.
D.The fight-or-flight response is beneficial to both our actions and organs.
小题3:What activity can we infer is less likely to damage the organs?
A.Winning an unexpected fortune.
B.Missing a dead family member.
C.Watching a horror movie.
D.Listening to a sweet song.
小题4:The purpose of the passage is ______.
A.to explain why people will die of a heart attack
B.to offer some advice on protecting us from heart failure
C.to compare different kinds of feelings to cause a death
D.to show strong emotions can cause a sudden death
