       Once there was a crow who was so thirsty that he was getting weak.He was too tired to fly,and the rocks he was walking on hurt his feet. He jltSt had to find water as soon as possible.

      Some people believe that schools will not be necessary in the near future. They say that because of the Internet and other new technology,there is no need for school buildings,classes or t 1 . Perhaps this will be true one day,but if the world had no schools,I couldn’t imagine h 2 our society would be.

     In fact,we should learn how to use new technology to make schools b 3 . We should invent a new kind of school that is connected to 1 4,museums,science centers,labs and even companies. Companies should create learning programs for schools. Scientists could give talks t 5 the Internet. TV networks and local TV stations could develop programs about the students who are studying at school. Labs could set up websites to s 6 new technology so that students could see it on the Internet.

     Is this a d 7 ? No. This is beginning to happen in many cities. In those cities,learning can take place at home,at school and in the o 8 . Businesses provide programs for schools and society.

      Last year,I got a chance to be an exchange student in the UK. I found many d 1 between schools in the UK and those in China.

      In the UK,the students have six 1 2 every day. Students can choose to take part in different activities. In China,kids are u 3 too much pressure. In the UK,kids seem to be more r 4 than us,yet they have their own difficulties as well. Every w 5 they need to write about two essays. Every unit they still need to write a big essay to build their opinions. It takes them a long time to s 6 in the library,sometimes maybe the w 7 morning.

       Life in the UK is really different. Children have more f 8 time to develop their interests. They can choose to do things they like at an e 9 age than us. But it also means that children should make their own decision and take good care of themselves.

三、任务型阅读(20分)

     The idea of teamwork is very important to the success of any team. All coaches (教练) talk about working as one unit,as a team that plays as one. Teamwork and unselfishness (无私) make the strong center of a great team;without them a team cannot play well against other teams. You can have a group of superstars,but if they do not work well as one unit,they are not going to be successful. The team working as one unit is going to be successful.

     ◆Here are some things to think when you are looking at your team:

     ◆Does your team have agreed-upon goals they made as a team?

     ◆Do the players openly encourage and support one another?

     ◆Do they have open communication with one another,as well as the coaches?

     ◆Does each player know what their role on the team is?

     ◆Do players use words such as “we” when talking about the team?

     ◆Does the team as a whole want to make their match better?

     ◆Does each member think themselves as a “team player” ?

     A winning team has players that share common goals and a common dream. They may come together for many different reasons,but their goals are the same —- to get success.

     Teamwork is something that must be on the top of the list. Every player needs to understand how important it is for them to work easily together if they want to be successful. Each player must be true to the whole team and be willing to act unselfishly. When challenges (挑占戈) come,the team needs to deal with them in a good manner. A sense of teamwork will play an important part in this.

      Just remember T. E. A. M. — Together Everyone Gets More!

根据短文内容回答下列问题。

1. What can make the strong center of a great team?

2. Which is more important to the success of a team,teamwork or superstars?

3. How many things are there when you are looking at your team?

4. How does a team come together according to Paragraph 3 ?
