    Working well in a team requires full cooperation. It's an important skill for almost every employee to have. Your ability to do your job is dependent upon others getting your work done, and others depend on you to get their work done.

    Communicate well. Lack of communication is one of the biggest reasons of a team's failure. Seek input from team members so they feel like a valuable part of the team. Communication establishes trust among team members. In addition, communicating well can help prevent and resolve conflict. Meet regularly to keep members involved in and aware of your work progress. Post decisions where everyone in the team can see them.

    Be flexible. In teamwork, priorities and responsibility can change instantly. Stay ready to shift focus. Training team members to be able to do parts of other team members' jobs can be a valuable part of teamwork; being flexible helps to build appreciation for all the parts of the team.

    Meet deadlines. Work hard to ensure you meet established deadlines when you work in a team environment. Others are depending on your work. Negotiate timelines with your teammates at the start of a project. Doing so allows you to have a say in how work gets accomplished.

    Establish accountability. All team members must be responsible for the success and failure of the project. Although every team doesn't need a leader, teams require a formal way to ensure everybody does his part. Try using meetings to report on progress.

    Celebrate accomplishments and encourage the team. Senior executives may not always recognize the importance of some team members' work. Share congratulations at team meetings and talk about whose work is invaluable in helping you get your work done.

    Since the 1990s, education has been required for all South Africans from age seven to fifteen. Last December, the government announced that seventy percent of students passed their final examination to finish high school. In 2008, the rate was about sixty-three percent. There have been increases each year since then.

    Professor Shireen Motala says basic education is no longer the problem in South Africa. Most children stay in school until they are about sixteen. The problem is that large numbers of them leave without completing high school.

    Professor Motala says, "Less than half of the children who started school in two thousand sat for the matric(高考) last year. Only around forty-five percent survived. And the concern is that where those learners actually go. "Those who drop out must compete with better educated people for jobs.

    Educational researchers also point to another problem. South African schools do not produce enough students with the skills for higher education in maths and science. Children do not see laboratories and as a result, their science marks are not very good. They do not have libraries at school. Also, many teachers do not have the skills or training to do their jobs. In South Africa, a number of teachers were poorly trained before. Secondly, teachers have been confused by the many educational reforms(改革) in the last fifteen years. Finally, language differences in the classroom have not gotten as much attention as they should, which is a huge problem. Subjects such as maths and science are taught in English starting at about age ten, but South Africa has eleven official languages.

    South Africa's minister of basic education promises a number of improvements. Angie Motshega says teacher development efforts will focus on subject and content knowledge, making sure the correct teachers are in the correct jobs.

    If you have to attend a party or other social events where a lot of people will be present, do you feel confident that you will make a good impression on others? Or do you feel shy? In any case, you should increase your confidence at social events.

    Whenever you are meeting new people at any social event, you should wear proper clothes. Before you attend the event, make an effort to find out how other people will be dressing. If everyone else is wearing business clothes, you should, too. If the event is informal, you should wear informal clothes so that you fit in.

    If you are going to meet people from a particular business or profession(职业), try looking through a few professional magazines or checking on the Internet ahead of time to get some conversation ideas which are related to their fields of interest. This can prevent you getting tongue-tied at the event.

    When you are at the event, don't worry about whether or not the other person you are talking with likes you. Instead, try your best to find reasons to like them.

    When you are making conversation with people, be sure to keep good eye contact, and make your facial expression soft. Nod to show you're listening. Let your face and body relax so that you can make natural gestures.

    After the event is over, take a bit of time to do a little review of your social performance and the conversations you had with people. Tell yourself specifically what you did very well at the event. For example, perhaps you made a big effort to really listen to the people you were talking with, or you may have asked several people some good questions that really got them talking. By doing so, your conversation confidence will gradually improve.

    Many parents try hard to protect their kids from TV and Internet advertising. But how can you protect a child from a large fast-food ad painted on her school locker(衣物柜)?Or a toy ad on the side of his school bus?

    As school budgets get smaller, a growing number of schools in the US are selling advertising space on lockers, buses and in gyms or cafeterias. It is an easy way for schools to make money. And ads may provide relief for parents exhausted by making cash donations to support schools.

    While parents can always turn off the televisions or the computers, they can't keep advertising out of schools. This isn't the first time the issue has come up. For example, a news programme for teens has been criticised for including ads in its 12-minute classroom broadcasts. And parents' groups successfully fought a plan by a company called Bus Radio to put music and ads into school buses.

    But now things are different. Just last month, Los Angeles approved a plan to allow companies to advertise in the district's schools. Officials say the plan could provide as much as $18 million for the schools.

    In St. Francis, Minn. schools recently agreed to cover 10% to 15% of their lockers with ads. Edward Saxton, a teacher in the school, says, "So far, parents are accepting this as a way to bring in needed money. The money pays for programmes like arts, sports and music. Parents don't like to see programmes getting cut. Neither do I. Besides, schools are thinking about the effects on kids all the time. "

    However, Susan Linn, an educational expert, says, "Kids have already seen enough ads on TV, in magazines and the products they use daily. School is no place for advertisements at all. "

    Readers, what about you? Would you rather help run yet another school fundraiser, or expose your child to ads on lockers and buses? Is keeping ads out of schools worth raising taxes, or increasing your own cash support for school through donations?

    Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy human emotion.  Uncontrollable anger can lead to serious problems at work and in personal relationships, and may destruct(破坏) the individual's total quality of life.  

    Anger is not just a mental state of mind. Anger makes us ill.  When a human or animal decides to take action to stop or face a threat, anger usually becomes the main feeling and takes over our behaviour.

    In many cases humans and other animals express anger by making loud sounds, baring teeth, staring and adopting postures as a warning to perceived aggressors to stop their threatening behaviour.  If a stranger approaches a newborn dog, the mother will most likely growl, bare her teeth and adopt a defensive or ready-to-attack posture, rather than silently attack without any warning.

     His voice will be hostile(敌意的), as may his body language. Naturally, anger may grow in humans and other animals to protect territory and family members, prevent loss of possessions or food, and many other perceived threats.  

    The Mental Health Foundation, a UK charity, says that anger is one of the most basic human emotions. Experts say anger is a primary, natural emotion with functional survival values.  The raised heart rate, blood pressure and release of hormones prepare us physically for necessary action—which is either to fight or run away at top speed.  

A. Coping with anger is an acquired skill.

B. We all experience such emotion frequently.

C. We should learn how to control our anger.

D. It arouses an increase in heart rate, blood pressure and so on.

E. However, when it gets out of control, it can become destructive.

F. If you invade into the private land of a farmer, his approach may be similar.

G. It's unusual for a physical attack to happen without these signs appearing first.

    The story of how I got my job was a funny one.

    One day, I was 1along a street to the interview 2 a yellow car suddenly cut in front of me. With another car coming in the other 3, I had to brake hard and bumped(撞到)another cyclist. We both fell, but 4 neither of us was hurt. I became 5 and cycled as fast as possible to the driver of the yellow car to tell him6 I considered him. I told him what a bad 7 I thought he was and he was a(n) 8to other people on the road. His face turned 9. I warned him not to drive 10 in the future so that everyone else could enjoy a long life.  

    I was in time for the 11. Having walked into the room, to my 12, I found one of the three interviewers 13 to be the driver of the yellow car. We looked at each other for a while, 14silent. Then I decided to look on the whole matter as a great 15!

    I laughed and told him that I talked much the last time we met and this time it was his 16 to talk a great deal.  

    Lost in thought for a while, he 17that I was not going to say anything about his bad driving. The interview went 18. Two days later, I received a letter offering me the job. I was pleased that the manager—the driver of the yellow car, didn't 19my rudeness to him.

    Through the experience, I find something that seems impossible at first sometimes 20 to be good.

    In the English Reading Week, one of my classmates recommended a quote to us, goes like this, "Your future  (depend) on many things, but mostly on you." I can't agree  (much) with this view. It's true that our future (determine) by many things, such as opportunities and help from others, but our own attitude, determination,   hard work play a more important role. In   words, we are the master of our own future.

    Take Abraham Lincoln for example. He was born in a poor family, and only received a (limit) education in his childhood. Yet through his painstaking efforts, he   (change) not only his own fate but also the history of America. Even to this day, Lincoln   (regard) as one of the most inspiring figures in the world.  

    Therefore, I  (firm) believe that our future is in our own hands.

    My school life is very interesting but meaningful. I usually get up at a quarter past six. After I wash his face, I read English for about half an hour. I think what it is a good habit. I always go to school by bike, to eat lunch at school and have a short sleep on the classroom. In the afternoon, school is over at 5 o'clock. After school, I often play basketball or do some other sports on the playground happy. I went home at about five forty. Have had supper, I watch TV for while, and then I do my homework. We go to bed at about 9:30.
