When it comes to human resources, hiring highly-skilled staff is not usually enough for a company to function successfully. Besides the knowledge in their particular fields, employees must always have additional skills-----those of co-operation. In the case that work tasks can only be carried out by communicating with people, accepting common decisions, solving problems, sharing information and helping one another, teamwork skills are important.
While some jobs may require talent, the ability to work as a team is learned. There are no complicated formulas(規(guī)則); you don't need to have any special qualities or exceptional mental abilities. Individuals can be effective as a team if they have developed certain behaviors or habits of communication. Many companies, clubs and organizations use team building activities. Team building activities may include a number of teamwork elements. They are aimed at encouraging active participation in task accomplishment while all members have their roles as individuals and are able to co-operate towards a common goal as a team.
Many team building activities focus on problem solving and discussing team issues; thus argument as a way to common consensus (共識(shí)) is encouraged. Team building activities often involve recognition and identification of team member skills, talents, knowledge, and experiences which allow the team members to learn more about each other and fully utilize (利用) those skills where appropriate（合適的）. Many team activities are focused on developing keys to trust during challenging times.

As a parent you might never guess all the ways a good imagination benefits your child. It helps a preschooler(學(xué)齡前兒童)：
Develop social skills
As children play pretend, they explore relationships between family members, friends and co­workers and learn more about how people interact. Playing doctor, they imagine how physicians care for their patients. Playing house, they learn more about how parents feel about their children. Imaginative play helps develop empathy(同情) for others. If children can imagine how it feels to be left out of a game or to lose a pet, they are better able to help those in need. They become more willing to play fair, to share, and to cooperate.
Build self­confidence
Young children have very little control over their lives. Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers(摩天大樓) or a superhero defending the planet is empowering to a child. It helps them develop confidence in their abilities and their potential.
Boost intellectual growth
Using the imagination is the beginning of abstract thought.Children who can see a king's castle in a mound(堆) of sand or a delicious dinner in a mud pie are learning to think symbolically(象征性地). This skill is important in school where a child will have to learn that numerals symbolize groups of objects, letters symbolize sounds, and so on.
Practice language skills
Kids who play pretend with their friends do a lot of talking.This helps boost their vocabulary, improve sentence structure and promote communication skills.
Work out fears
Playing pretend can help children work out their fears and worries. When children role­play about the big, bad monster under the bed, they gain a sense of control over him and he doesn't seem quite so big or so bad. Imaginative play also helps kids vent(發(fā)泄) confusing feelings they might have, such as anger toward a parent or compete with a new sibling(兄弟姐妹)．
To encourage your youngster's imagination, read to him every day. Books offer children the opportunity to visit other worlds and create new ones of their own.
For generations children have enjoyed reading the story of Peter Pan because Peter takes them on fascinating adventures.Reader's Digest Young Families offers a beautiful typical Disney edition of Peter Pan, which is an iParenting Media Award winner. Click here to find out how you can get this classic story along with 2 free books-Bambi and Pinocchio.
小題1:What's NOT the advantage of children having a good imagination?
A．Understanding the other people's feelings and problems.
B．Expressing their feelings like anger.
C．Having a strong faith in their own abilities and potential.
D．Helping them form a good habit of reading stories.
小題2:What does the underlined word “Boost” mean?
A．Improve.B．Limit.C．Push.D．Praise.
小題3:From the last paragraph we can learn that ________．
A．Reader's Digest Young Families wins an iParenting Media Award
B．Disney edition of Peter Pan can be got online for free
C．the story of Peter Pan has been popular with kids
D．Bambi and Pinocchio are offered for free because of bad sales
小題4:What's the purpose of writing the article?

B．To introduce some wonderful Disney stories to readers.
C．To provide ways of helping make kids more imaginative.

A MENTORING (導(dǎo)師制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.
Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.
Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said; "We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.
"We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships (實(shí)習(xí)) with world-famous firms such as Honda.
"At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures. " Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (論壇).
The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. " Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop, it was amazing," he said, " We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon. "
The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues (問題) such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.
Kieran said: " It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August. "
The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury. For details visit www.younginspirations.com.

The right to die
It was 3:45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken. After six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot parliamentary(議會(huì)的) debates, Australia’s northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably sick patients who wish to die.
The measure passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on via the group's on line service, Death NET. Says Hofsess: "We posted bulletins all day long, because of course this isn't just something that happened in Australia. It's world history."
The NT Rights of the Terminally III law has left physicians and citizens alike trying to deal with its moral and practical implications. Some have breathed sighs of relief, others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the haste of its passage（通過）.
But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia - where an aging population, life extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part, other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia(安樂死). In the US and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.
Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death, probably by a deadly injection or pill, to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed(診斷) as terminally ill by two doctors. After a "cooling off" period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally III law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. "I'm not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I'd go, because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks," he says.
小題1:This passage is mainly about ________.
A．the development and function of euthanasia
B．the passage（通過）of a law on euthanasia and its worldwide influence.
C．some successful examples about euthanasia
D．conditions and procedures to perform euthanasia in Australia.
小題2:What does “observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling” mean?
A．Observers are taking a wait-and –see attitude towards the future of euthanasia.
B．There is a possibility of similar bills being passed in the US and Canada.
C．Observers are waiting to see the movement end up in failure.
D．The process of the bill taking effect may finally come to a stop.
小題3: During a “cooling off” period, a patient will _________.
A．wait for two doctors’ diagnosis
B．sign a certificate of request
C．think over his decision of euthanasia
D．turn to his doctors for more advice
小題4:What’s the author’s attitude towards euthanasia?
A．HostileB．doubtful C．FavorableD．Indifferent

We do not know when man first began to use salt, but we do know that it has been used in many different ways throughout history. Historical evidence shows, for example, that people who lived over 3,000 years ago ate salted fish. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt was used to preserve (保存) the dead.
Stealing salt was considered a major crime (罪行) during some periods of history. In the eighteenth century, for example, if a person was caught stealing salt, he could be put in prison and his ears could be cut off.
In the Roman Empire, one of the most important roads was the one that carried salt from the salt mines to Rome. Guards were stationed along the route to protect against salt thieves, and they received their pay in salt, thus bringing the English word, salary. Any guard who fell asleep while on duty was thought to be “not worth his salt”, and as a result he would get a little less salt on his next payday. The expression, “not worth his salt”, is still used today in English.
In the modern world salt has many uses beyond the dining table. It is used in making glass and airplane parts, in the growing of crops, and in the killing of weeds (雜草). It is also used to make water soft, to melt (融化) ice on roads and highways, to make soap, and to fix colors in cloth.
Salt can be got in various ways besides being taken from mines underground. Salt water from the ocean, salt water lakes or small seas can be used to make salt. Yet, no matter where it comes from, salt will continue to play an important role in the lives of people everywhere.
小題1:According to the text, salt can be used in the following EXCEPT _____.
A．keeping dead bodies
B．punishing thieves
C．protecting crops
D．making industrial products
小題2:In the Roman Empire many people were employed as guards to _____.
A．protect the city of Rome
B．watch people carrying salt
C．prevent thieves from stealing salt
D．carry salt from the mines to Rome
小題3:The expression “not worth his salt” used today refers to the one who _____.
A．fails to do his work well
B．should not be paid in salt
C．doesn’t want to work at all
D．should use less salt
小題4:The main purpose of the text is to tell readers _____.
A．how salt was found and got
B．salt is important in people’s life
C．salt was difficult to get in the past
D．what salt brings to the English language

While most travelers aim to stay out of the hospital while on vacation, a growing number of medical tourists－people who combine treatment with travel － are crossing international borders for the purpose of getting medical services, which can range from a hip replacement to a tummy tuck. Widespread air travel, increasing healthcare costs in developed countries, long waiting lists and an ageing world population have all contributed to a global increase in medical tourism in the past decade. And Asia takes the lead in terms of world market share.
More than 89% of medical tourists travelled to Thailand, India or Singapore in 2010, with Bangkok and Singapore leading the pack. But the cost of hotel rooms and treatment are both far more expensive in Singapore than in the Thai capital, making Bangkok the most popular place for medical tourism in the world. Even after the serious floods of 2011, 19 million tourists visited Thailand in 2011, a 20% jump from 2010, with about 500,000 tourists travelling specifically for medical treatment.
Given Thailand’s reputation for outstanding service, it is not hard to see why Bangkok has quickly become the medical tourism centre of Asia. The Tourism Authority of Thailand(TAT), which began medical tourism in 2004, has a detailed medical tourism website that lists many of the most popular treatments available, including dental work, dermatology and cosmetic surgery, as well as listing reputed hospitals, making it easy for potential visitors to decide on a procedure. TAT has also recently partnered with Krungthai Bank, the national bank of Thailand, to offer tourists a card called the Miracle Thailand Card, which offers some medical and life insurance coverage in case of an accident.
“The hospitals in Bangkok are some of the highest quality in the world，meeting US standards，”said Steven Lash, CEO of a US-based medical travel company that sends tourists to Bangkok as well as to seven other countries, including Turkey and Mexico. "All of the tourists we have sent to these hospitals have given us excellent feedback (反饋) on their procedures and their experiences at the hospitals."
小題1: Medical tourism is so popular nowadays partly because_____.
A．a(chǎn)ged patients prefer to travel
B．a(chǎn)ir travel is cheaper than before
C．local hospitals lack advanced equipment
D．medical treatment is expensive in some countries
小題2:Why is Bangkok’s medical tourism ahead of Singapore’s?
A．Bangkok provides an excellent service at lower prices.
B．Medical tourists in Bangkok get high health insurance.
C．The local authority in Bangkok has a good reputation.
D．Bangkok has a detailed medical tourism website.
小題3:The author develops the third paragraph mainly by _________.
A．giving figuresB．Presenting effects
C．using examplesD．making comparisons
小題4:Steven Lash thinks Bangkok’s hospitals_______.
A．a(chǎn)re really excellentB．a(chǎn)re welcomed by Americans
C．a(chǎn)re famous mainly for their serviceD．a(chǎn)re better than hospitals in the USA
小題5:What is the text mainly about?
A．The background of medical tourism.
B．The rise of medical tourism in Bangkok.
C．The advantages of medical tourism in Bangkok.
D．The comparison of medical tourism in Asian countries.

The English translations of the names of traditional Chinese dishes on menus(菜單) across the country have caused public discussion about the precision(準(zhǔn)確) of the translations.
Since more and more foreigners come to China every day, many restaurants around China are providing English translations of their menus. They want to make it easier for foreigners to order Chinese dishes when they travel. Some restaurants also hope that the translations will increase foreigners’ knowledge of Chinese cuisine(烹飪).
But an article in China Youth Daily says the English menu translations haven’t live up to public expectation（期望）. It argues most of the English names of Chinese dishes lack the cultural meaning and attraction of the dishes they describe. Instead, the translations only provide a list of each dish’s ingredients（配方）, the article notes. For example, one English name of a Chinese dish appears as “stir-fried mutton slice with Chinese onion and green scallion(蔥爆羊肉)”.
Because the English translation focuses only on the ingredients, it fails to describe the dish’s rich cultural meaning and charm(魅力). The dish’s beautiful Chinese name, “Fo Tiao Qiang(佛跳墻)”, has a story behind it. Buddhist monks (和尚) are required to eat vegetables only , but they can’t resist(忍住)the delicious dish. So they jump over the temple walls to get a taste of the dish.
The article suggests that translators provide more beautiful translations of the names of Chinese dishes. It also notes a more vivid(生動(dòng)的) English translation is very important to provide international visitors with a better understanding of Chinese cuisine.
小題1:Why do many restaurants provide English translations of their menu ?
A．Because they want to show their ingredients in dishes.
B．Because the public expect them to do so.
C．Because Chinese dishes are popular.
D．Because it is convenient for foreigners to order food.
小題2:According to China Youth Daily, what is the main problem of the English menu translation?
A．They are too long to remember.
B．Many of them are not correct.
C．They lack cultural meaning and attraction.
D．They are difficult to learn.
小題3:What can we infer from the story of “Fo Tiao Qiang” dish?
A．Monks can jump high.
B．Monks lived a poor life.
C．Old China had little meat for people.
D．The dish attracted many people because it’s delicious.

More than half of the parents in the United States are helping, or have helped, support their adult children who have been hit by high unemployment and poor wages(工資), according to a new survey. It showed that present economic conditions are discouraging young adults from leaving home and forcing those who have already gone, so-called boomerang kids, to return.
“Parents are continuing their financial involvement longer than we expected,” said Ted Beck, president of National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE).
About 60 percent of parents questioned in the survey said they’re helping their adult children who are no longer in school financially. Half are providing housing and nearly half are helping with living expenses.
For an increasing number of adult children, the situation is bad. Two-thirds of adult children, aged 18 to 39, who are not in school said they faced tougher financial pressures than previous generations, according to the survey. And nearly one-third of parents agreed that it was easier for them to find their financial feet than for their children.
Parents are helping their children out of genuine concern because they do not want to see them struggle. But Beck said that parents who make sacrifices(犧牲) to help their adult children should be careful about their own finances.
“If you are taking on extra debt or delaying(推遲) retirement to help your adult child, you could be making a mistake and putting your own financial future in danger,” Beck warned.
Boomerang children can also cause other problems for their parents. Thirty percent of parents said they had given up privacy since their adult children moved back home, while more than a quarter have taken on added debt, and seven percent have delayed retirement. But the survey also showed 42 percent of adult children living at home are helping with the cooking and cleaning.
小題1:According to the text, boomerang kids refer to ____.
A．married adult children
B．grown-ups living with parents
C．a(chǎn)dult children independent and successful in life
D．young adults depending on parents for financial support
小題2:According to the survey, we can infer that _____.
A．a(chǎn)bout 30% of parents offer their adult children housing
B．one-third of adult children earn money more easily than their parents
C．two-thirds of adult children are faced with financial problems in school
D．a(chǎn)bout 50% of parents give money to their adult children to cover the daily cost
小題3:What is Ted Beck’s suggestion to the parents?
A．Asking their children to help with the housework.
B．Being careful when helping their children financially.
C．Leaving their children to struggle to live.
D．Putting off their time of retirement.
小題4:What would be the best title for the text?
A．Adult children are less independentB．Parents help support adult children
C．Bad conditions affect children a lotD．Adult children like living with parents

The early lack of exposure to science ，technology，engineering and mathematics (STEM) can be harmful to achieving gender (性別）balance in these fields. It begins when we are young and continues throughout our time in high school.
While at home，girls generally don’t get to experience the level of exposure or encouragement in STEM fields that their male counterparts do. It is often subtle ，but it’s the first hurdle that faces and confuses so many women. Boys ，on the other hand, get on their path ，and are encouraged to do so， generally earlier than girls. For example ，boys are more often given science sets as toys ，which spark an interest in these subjects.
In school 3 boys are often pushed to take the more challenging math and science classes. So if we want to attract the best and brightest minds into the fields that will advance us as a people ? a country，and a planet，we can no longer look to only half of the population. Young girls cannot possibly consider opportunities they do not know exist. If girls are not exposed to certain subject and career paths，they are highly unlikely to choose to follow them in college.
Our bias(偏見)toward girls9 either from families or from schools ，is so rooted in our culture that we often don’t even recognize it. Although the situation Has changed greatly in the past 20 or 30 years，there is still a sense that girls aren't as good at math 9 for instance 9 even though there is almost no evidence to support such a belief.
It is important that as a society we deal with gender stereotypes long before young people are faced with a decision to declare or choose a major in college. Without making efforts to break them， we are limiting the potentials of our youth，both male and female. Providing the necessary resources， exposure , and encouragement would help young women understand that their gender shouldn’t determine the career path they choose, and that pursuing a STEM career does not make them less feminine.
小題1:According to the passage ? not many girls grow to enter STEM fields because______.
A．girls are not as good at STEM as boys
B．girls do not like to take science classes
C．girls get fewer chances to know about STEM
D．girls seldom survive the high pressure positions
小題2:The underlined word “it” in Para. 4 refers to______
A．our biasB．our cultureC．the situationD．a(chǎn) sense
小題3:The main purpose of the passage is to______.
A．show women’s potentials in STEM fields
B．praise women’s contributions to STEM fields
C．describe the present gender bias in STEM fields
D．call for more involvement of women in STEM fields
