【题目】 A study revealed that, in most occasions, the outcome on a given task can be improved when two people have helped each other instead of working on their own. As early as 1624 John Donne has already popularized the phrase “No man is an island”. And this is especially true, be it in the workplace, in doing scientific research, or working in events. One of the benefits of cooperation is that people can pool together their skills and wisdom towards a common aim. Because of this, they have a higher chance of being more successful. 1

Teamwork promotes diversity. The very nature of teamwork requires a group of people from various backgrounds to come together and share their thinking. 2 This level of diversity generates cultural understanding, increased communication through collective knowledge of approaches and a larger resource of opinions.

3 Working within a team helps us to create an environment which inspires collective knowledge, resources and skills. Consequently, this allows us to pick some ideas and to reflect on our own way of thinking. Teamwork also encourages self-improvement because it helps us to expand our horizons and make better use of our own intrinsic capabilities. And since self-improvement helps us in seeking better ways to perform our role within a team, it improves both the efficiency and productivity of the team as a whole.

Completion of task becomes easy. Each member has unique skills to help with the project. 4 For example, you may ask one person to do research, another to take charge of social media marketing, and another to look after delivery. Teamwork can get the most of each person’s strengths.

5 For instance, tackling about climate change by researchers who come from different disciplines (学科) could potentially lead to ground-breaking researches. In the traditional research world, one researcher pursued a theme over several decades. However, academia is fostering a fresh research culture, whereby academic works advance through the creation of interdisciplinary research.

A.Teamwork encourages healthy competition.

B.It promotes peer learning and self-improvement.

C.So a task can be assigned based on a person’s skills and expertise.

D.There are many benefits we can gain out of teamwork and cooperation.

E.The seeds of creativity and innovation spring from the exchange of ideas.

F.As a result, different opinions and problem-solving methods can be formed.

G.Cooperation has several benefits including shared risk, resources and knowledge.

【题目】 “Fighting like cats and dogs” is a common phrase that people use to mean people argue, fright or don’t get along. If you like cartoons, you’ve probably seen many that describe cats and dogs fighting like sworn enemies (不共戴天的仇敌). There have even been movies made that describe cats against dogs.

As with many questions in life, there’s simply no easy answer to the question of whether dogs and cats can get along. Dogs and cats are different in many ways that can make it difficult for them to get along. However, with patience and the right circumstances, cats and dogs can be best buds (兄弟).

For example, dogs tend to be social animals that are naturally playful. Cats, on the other hand, tend to be more independent. A dog that wants to play might seem aggressive and frightening to a cat. This may lead the cat to defend itself against an attack although that’s really just a desire to play. Similarly, dogs—especially puppies—like to chase each other. It’s a fun game. Chasing cats can be just as fun as chasing other dogs. Again, cats may interpret such playful behavior as a threat.

Even there’s something dogs and cats have in common, tails, but tails can make things confusing. When dog wags (摇摆) its tail, it’s sending a friendly message: “I’m happy. Let’s play.” Cats, however, wag their tails when they are angry. You can see how this might lead cats and dogs to become confused if they’re facing each other with wagging tails!

Although dogs and cats aren’t really sworn enemies dogs are hunters by nature. This means that they might hunt and chase anything that moves-including a cat. This natural behavior that could cause problems between dogs and cats can be controlled by special training called socialization when the animals meet for the first time.

1By saying “fighting like cats and dogs”, parents most probably mean that ________.

A.they like neither cats nor dogs

B.their kids don’t get on well with each other

C.cats and dogs fight like sworn enemies

D.the fights between cats and dogs are often made into movies

2What may happen when dogs are chasing cats?

A.Dogs become tired out.B.Cats are very happy.

C.Dogs feel enjoyable.D.Cats get injured easily.

3Which of the following may be one of the reasons that dogs and cats fight often?

A.They couldn’t understand each other.B.They are worried about their behaviors.

C.They enjoy exactly the same hobbies.D.They wag their tails too often.

4What can be inferred from the passage?

A.Dogs are good at hunting animals.

B.Dogs don’t like cats naturally.

C.Cats usually like playing with dogs.

D.Dogs and cats can possibly live in harmony.

【题目】 1 In fact, the idea of walking at least 10,000 steps a day for health goes back decades to a marketing (推销) campaign (计步器) launched in Japan to promote a pedometer. And, in subsequent years, it was adopted in the US as a goal to promote good health.2

“The original basis of the number was not scientifically determined,” says researcher I-Min Lee of Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

She was curious to know how many steps you need to take a day to maintain good health and live a long life, so she and her colleagues designed a study that included about 17,000 older women. Their average age was 72.3

It turns out that women who took about 4,000 steps per day got a boost in longevity(长寿), compared with women who took fewer steps.4

In fact, women who took 4,400 steps per day, on average, were about 40 percent less likely to die during the follow-up period of about four years compared with women who took 2,700 steps. The findings were published Wednesday in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Another surprise: The benefits of walking maxed out at about 7,500 steps.5

A.The women all agreed to clip on wearable devices to track their steps as they went about their day-to-day activities.

B.Walking 10,000 steps a day can make a lot of people happy.

C.It’s nothing unusual to walk 10,000 steps a day.

D.“It was sort of surprising,” Lee says.

E.In other words, women who walked more than 7,500 steps per day saw no additional boost in longevity.

F.There is no direct relationship between life span and steps.

G.It’s often the default setting on fitness trackers, but what’s it really based on?
