  “OK, class.Count off(报数)by five.”  1   Sometimes, breaking into small groups lasts as long as the class does.Other times, it signals the start of a “group project”-which means you'll be working with a few classmates for a day, several days, or longer on an assignment(任务).

    2   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.  3  

  Group projects also give you a chance to get to know kids you might not know or talk with-maybe the quiet kid in the third row, or the boy who lived down the street when you were in kindergarten.  4   For example:working on a deadline(最后期限), staying organized, or being patient.And if you're a little nervous talking in front of a group, a joint(联合的)project can help you become more comfortable with it.

    5   If so, you'll know your whole group is rooting for you!

A.Few of us act alone in the real world.

B.Why is this type of project so popular in school?

C.With group work, you can actually learn more in less time.

D.Maybe your group will pick you to tell the whole class about your project.

E.Group projects are also a great way to practice skills you're not so sure of.

F.When your teacher gives you that instruction, you know what's coming next.

G.One key to a good meeting is having a leader, who should help the group stay focused.

Is the customer always right?    【小题1】   Shopping is very much a part of a country’s culture, and attitudes to shopping and consumers vary from country to country just as much as climate or taste in food.
Recent economic hardship has given the consumers increased power in Europe because shopkeepers fight to win their share of reduced disposable(可支配的)income. This has meant falling prices, plenty of special offers and a re-examination of what customer service really means.
   【小题2】  In restaurants in the south of the USA, for example, waiters compliment(恭维)you on your clothes, ask about your day, compliment you on your wisdom of your order and then return every ten minutes to refill your glass and make sure that everything is to your satisfaction.
Anyone who has waited 30 minutes to be served in a restaurant may possible dream of such customer service.     【小题3】  In fact, different nationalities expect different types of service. As a friend of mine once told me “By the end of evening I had spent as much time talking to the waiter as to my wife.”
A Chinese-American friend loves telling people about how her Chinese mother shops for clothes. First of all she waits until they are on sale.     【小题4】  And later she finds some small fault with the product and demands a further reduction. She never buys anything at the regular price. Could you imagine trying such ways in department stores in other countries?0
Attitudes to service are, of course, affected by employer’s attitudes to their workers. As American waiters heavily depend on tips, they have to provide more service. But is this fair?     【小题5】    It might not be a case of “Is the customer always right?” but a case of “How much service is it fair to expect?”

A.People often point to America as an example of good customer service.
B.It is a question of expectations.
C.Do we think it is fair to ask shop assistants to work late evenings or on Sundays?
D.Then she asks for a discount until she gets an even better price.
E. The answer, it seems, depends on which country you are in.
F. The way we shop shows the way we get along with other people.
G. However, do Europeans really want US style service?

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again,  1 . Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously.  2 , he really means that he does not give it enough opportunities to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of two people, one of whom exercise his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day.

If a friend complains that his arms are weak,  3 . But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as if it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means—practice.

Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can?  4 ? Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember dates, time and prices, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.

  5 , learn from the poor; practice remembering.

A.So if you want a good memory

B.When someone else says that his memory is poor

C.When someone else says that he is poor in health

D.Why is this

E. What is this

F. we know that it is his own fault

G. they slowly become strong again
