“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．

Industrial pollution is not only a problem for the countries of Europe and North America but also an extremely serious problem in some developing countries.【小题1】They want to introduce industries, and so they put few controls on the industries which cause pollution.
Cubatao, an industrial town of 85 000 people in Brazil, is an example of the connection between industrial development and pollution. In 1954, Cubatao had no industry.【小题2】 The people of the town are suffering from the poisonous matter in their environment．【小题3】Birth shortcomings are extremely common. Among children and adults, lung problems are sometimes twelve times more common in Cubatao than in other places.
【小题4】However, these laws are not strict enough. It is cheaper for companies to take no notice of the laws and pay the fines(罚款) than to buy the expensive equipment that will reduce the pollution. It is clear, therefore, that economic growth is more important to the government than to the health of the workers.
However, the responsibility does not completely lie with the Brazilian government. 【小题5】A number of the factories in the town are owned by large companies from France, Italy, and the U. S. They are doing things in Brazil that they would not be able to do at home. If they caused the same amount of pollution at home, they would be severely punished or even put out of business.
| A．So the bad effects can be clearly seen. |
| B．It is true that Brazil has laws against pollution, |
| C．For these countries, economic growth is a very important aim. |
| D．The pollution in Cubatao is caused by the changes of the companiess. |
Ｆ．Today it has more than twenty large factories, which produce many pollutants(污染物)．
Ｇ．The example of Cubatao shows that international companies are not acting in a responsible way either. 查看习题详情和答案>>

A. Goods for auction (拍卖) sales
B. Definition of bidding
C. Way to sell more goods by auction
D. Auction sales in history
E. Brief introduction to auctions
F. Making a larger profit as an auctioneer
【小题1】______
Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or “bids”, for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands.
【小题2】 ______
The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increasing”. The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war. In England in the eighteenth centuries, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.
【小题3】 ______
Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, furs, silk and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art.
【小题4】 ______
An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in the order of numbers: he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.
【小题5】 ______
The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other.
