Teamwork is just as important in science as it is on the playing field or in the gym. Scientific investigations (调查) are almost always carried out by teams of people working together. Ideas are shared, experiences are designed, data are analyzed, and results are evaluated and shared with other investigators. Group work is necessary, and is usually more productive than working alone.

Several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates. Whatever teh task your group is assigned, a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience.

What comes first is to keep an open mind, becasue everyone’s ideas deserve consideration and each group member can make his or her own contribution. Secondly, it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members. Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths. Thirdly, always work together, take turns, and encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting one another. Mutual support and trust often make a great difference.

Activities like investigations are most effective when done by small groups. Here are some more suggestions for effective team performance during these activities: Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the task given to him or her, and everyone knows exactly when, why and what to do; take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be aware of where other group members are and what they are doing so as to ensure safety; be responsible for your own learning, though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members.

When there is research to be done, divide the topic into several areas, and this can explore the issue in a very detailed way. You are encouraged to keep records of the sources used each person, which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen unexpectedly. A format for exchanging information (e.g. photocopies of notes, oral discussion, etc.) is also important, for a well-chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily understood. When the time comes to make a decision and take a position on an issue, allow for the contributions of each member of the group. Most important of all, it is always wise to make decisions by compromise and agreement.

After you’ve completed a task with your team, make an evaluation of the team’s effectiveness — the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and challenges.

After winning a big game,athletes are often asked how they feel.Usually athletes say how  21  it is to win this big game.On the contrary,the fact is that losing a big game,or in my case,all the games,can be even harder.
From the spectators’ point of view,last year’s basketball 22 for my high school team was nothing  23  of an embarrassment.And  24  0—20 is certainly nothing to be proud of,that season had a bigger impact on me than any other.As a team captain,I knew it probably wouldn’t be the  25  year,but did I ever think we would lose every game?Of course not.Since six of our top players had graduated,it was clear that we were a (n)  26  team who would struggle.The struggle began earlier than expected,  27  ,as our team center was suspended (禁赛) for the season,and two key members decided to  28  for some reason.At this point,dropping out probably passed through every player’s mind,but in the end,we all stuck it out,  29  to work still harder.
Then there came a time when even our  30  had given up on us.Personally,I felt like it was  31  worthwhile giving my all.I thought,if even the coach doesn’t believe in us,why should I?But just as my hope began to  32 ,a teammate called a meeting.He said,“Nobody thinks we are going to win,but,as teammates and friends,we  33  it to each other to go all out every game.”

Are the lives of city kids the same as those in villages? In lots of ways, they are very different. But what are those differences?
Hu Peng from Wuhan and four of his friends decided to find out. Earlier this month, they went to live for a week in Caidian, a village near Wuhan. Hu and his Junior l classmates went door to door in Caidian and asked kids lots of questions. They want to learn more about village kids' everyday lives, so they asked questions like this: Do your parents teach you how to do the housework? How much money do you usually spend on dinner? What would you do if a thief came into your house? They also asked 150 city kids the same questions.
On April 12, the team gave a report to their class. They told about many differences between children's lives in cities and those of children in villages. The biggest difference is about independence. Hu's team found that 60 percent of city kids can't do much housework, but 90 percent of village kids can care for themselves.
City kids told Hu they care about schoolwork a lot, and they have no time for washing clothes or making their beds. Village kids said they help their parents a lot : cooking, cleaning the houses and feeding pigs. Hu's team  also found that village kids have less pocket money. Many have never used computers. They like playing in rivers or on mountains. Some don't even like to make new friends.
Hu and his friends said their trip gave them more self- confidence (自信) because they have done something by themselves. But it also worried them a bit because they found they still have a lot to learn. "When we grow up, our parents can't take care of us," Hu said. "We have to learn to take care of ourselves. "  Shen Guanquan, one of Hu's friends said, "When people learn to care for themselves, they learn to do lots of difficult things. "

American researchers say drinking tea may help strengthen the body’s defense system against infection(感染).Doctors at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston,Massachusetts,did the study.The team studied a chemical found in black,green,oolong and pekoe tea This chemical is an amino acid(氨基酸)called L-theanine.The scientists say it may increase the strength of Gamma delta T cells,which are part of the body’s defenses.

First,the researchers mixed some of these cells with antigens(抗原)found in the amino acid Antigens help the body react to infection.Then the scientists added some bacteria(细菌).

Within twenty-four hours,the cells produced a lot of interferon,a substance that fights infection Cells not mixed with the antigens did not produce interferon.

In the second part of the study,eleven people drank five to six cups of black tea every day.Ten other people drank the same amount of instant coffee.That is dried coffee mixed with hot water.

Two weeks later,and again two weeks after that,the researchers tested the blood of all twenty-one people.They also looked at what happened when they added bacteria to the blood cells.They found that the tea drinkers produced five times more interferon after they started drinking tea The coffee drinkers did not produce interferon.

Doctor Jack Bukowski led the study He says the antigens added to the Gamma delta T cells were responsible for the increased reaction to the bacteria.He says the study also showed that the cells were able to remember the bacteria and fight them again the next time.

Earlier research already has found that tea can help prevent heart disease and cancer Doctor Bukowski says the new study must be repeated with more people.If the findings prove to be true,he says,then tea drinking might also help protect against bacterial infections.He says the amino acid L-theanine could be removed from tea and used as a drug to strengthen the body’s defenses.

73.We may know from the text that     can be found in different kinds of tea.

A.Gamma delta T cells                               B.L-theanine

C.interferon                                       D.bacteria

74.Tea may help strengthen the body’s defense system because it helps    .

A.the body to produce more interferon

B.the body to produce more Gamma delta T cells

C.to add some bacteria to the blood cells

D.to mix antigens with some of the cells in the body

75.According to Dr Bukowski,    .

A.the findings of the study have already proved to be true

B.he bas taken some amino acid L-theanine from tea and made a drug with it

C.further study is needed to prove the findings true

D.he is not sure whether tea can help prevent heart disease and cancer
