Teamwork is all about working together to achieve a mon goal or purpose. Is teamwork out of

date? Why is it so hard to effectively conduct teamwork in those days?

One way we employ teamwork in everyday lives is by being a parent, It is parents' job to teach

their children the basic skills and give them the knowledge they need to be successful in life. This, to

me, requires teamwork. For example, the mother teaches her children manners and good health skills,

while the father teaches them how to catch a ball or drive a car. However, in today's society, we find

that more and more parents are feeling that this teamwork is a one-sided thing. According to a

report ，there are 13.7 million single parents raising their children in the US and this could be due to

the fact that parents don't take responsibility for their children, so they leave one parent to do it alone.

This is a sad fact, and it reflects that effective teamwork is losing ground in the parenting aspect of

our everyday lives.

Another place where teamwork affects us greatly is in our jobs. It doesn't matter if you have a

small pany or a large pany: if you have at least one employee and yourself，then teamwork works. I

have noticed that with the current economic recession (衰退), people are racing to grab jobs but the

quality of people's work has gone down greatly.It just appears to me that people do not take pride in

their work any more. They get to work as fast as they can，just to receive the paycheck, but their

quality standards fly_right_out_of_the_window. So I think teamwork is losing ground in the

workforce.

As you can see, we run into the aspects of teamwork in just about everything we do. Do you

believe teamwork is really losing ground in today's society? I think it is.

语篇解读：本文为议论文。作者通过分析团队精神在家庭生活中和职场上的丧失，说明了团队精神在被越来越多的人所忽视。

1．Why does teamwork disappear in the parenting aspect of our daily life?

A．Parents have no time to spare for their children.

B．Parents have no chances to teach their children about it.

C．Many children are often brought up by a single parent.

D．Many children are independent to deal with their matters.

答案：C 事实细节题。根据第二段中第五句“According to a report ，there are 13.7 million

single parents raising their children in the US and this could be due to the fact that parents don't take

responsibility for their children, so they leave one parent to do it alone.”可推知答案为C项。

2．Teamwork is losing ground in the workforce mainly because ________. A．workers don't like to work together with others

B．workers' sense is affected by economic recession

C．workers want to prove they are more capable

D．fewer workers are employed to save money

答案：B 事实细节题。根据第三段第三句中的“I have noticed that with the current

economic recession (衰退), people are racing to grab jobs but the quality of people's work has gone

down greatly.”可知经济衰退影响了工人的观念，故答案为B项。

3．The author wants us to believe his opinion by ________.

A．listing some data B．giving some examples

C．asking some questions D．analyzing some cases

答案：D 推理判断题。作者通过分析家庭生活中和职场上团队精神缺失的案例来支持自己的观点，故答案为D项。

4．The underlined phrase “fly right out of the window” in Paragraph 3 means ________.

A．disappear B．improve

C．increase D．matter

答案：A 猜测词义题。上文提到由于经济衰退，工人们不再注意工作质量了，人们也不再为自己的工作感到骄傲了。他们想尽快找到工作只是为了挣工资，但他们工作质量的标准被忽视了。由此可见本题答案为A项。

My daughter recently asked me what a travel agency does. There is one located on our street

and it has just been pletely rebuilt. I told her that they helped people book their trips and vacations.

“Why haven't we ever been there？” she wanted to know. “Because we do everything ourselves

online these days” I explained. “But why do it yourself if other people want to do it for you？”

she wondered out loud.

The answer is that the travel agency makes a little bit of money on each ticket you book

through them. If you book your ticket yourself online, you save that money. Saving money sounds

great except that when you think about it you typically spend three evenings paring prices to end up

saving $30 on a $300 trip. All those $30 discounts add up of course so I guess we should be happy

with that.

Consider books for a moment. Buying your book at Amazon saves you maybe 30% to 40% on

each book. Add to that the convenience of shopping from home and getting the package delivered to

your home address. So far so good. Unfortunately, that does mean you spend too much time

browsing Amazon. while you could do something fun instead. Like maybe reading an actual book?

Then the package arrives and you aren't home and end up having to pick it up at the local
