【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.

【题目】 Sometimes you may feel that your life is out of control or find 【1】 hard to solve problems. Maybe you want to do something【2】 (perfect) or wait for the perfect time before starting it. But sometimes these thoughts can make you exhausted and lead to long delays or even prevent you from 【3】(do) it. The way you handle things in life has【4】influence on how much anxiety you experience.

You should not be too strict with yourself. 【5】 (criticize) by your friends constantly, you’ll probably want to get rid【6】them right away. Perhaps it's time for you 【7】(change) and start forgiving yourself for the mistakes you make. When you find yourself in an【8】(embarrass) situation, you should drop the pessimistic thoughts and pay your attention back to the task at hand.

It’s also helpful for you to find【9】(purpose) in life by helping others. No matter how much money you make, you can’t get true happiness 【10】 you know that someone else depends on you. Knowing that someone else needs you can make it easier to go through the toughest time.

【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.

【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?
