year,you know.But I prefer serious plays.So I don’t think I will try out.Mr.Davis always chooses silly plays for us.W:They are not silly!And Mr.Davis is a great director!M:Sorry if you disagree.I just think he should choose some more serious plays about life,not just plays with jokes or romance.W:Well,you are too serious.Most high school kids just want to laugh and have fun.This is high school

is“jazz”music?M:Jazz is originally from America.It was made popular by black musicians during the early20th century.Jazz usually is more difficult to play and listen to than other forms of popular music.There is usually a piano,drums,bass,and then a guitar or sax.W:What is your favorite instrument?M:I’ve been playing music for about10years and I have played many instruments.I think drums are my favorite though.I like to hit the drums and make a lot of loud but controlled noise.Drummers have to understand a lot about music so I think it is a good place for me.Text10What makes a good team?Let’s start by looking at a successful football team.Perhaps the biggest name in football in the world is Manchester United.Manchester United is an extremely successful football team,having played a major role in English football during the90s and early 2000s.They have global support and are also a highly successful business.So what makes them as successful as a team?It’s true that they are able to attract and afford some of the best players in the world.Many footballers dream of playing for such teams.However,buying the best players does not guarantee the best team.You need the right ingredients in the right mix to create a recipe for success. You need fast skillful players,hard physical players,and defenders as well as attacking players.A good team should be a mix of experienced players and young players.Young players benefit from the experience of the older team members.This concept transfers to other fields as well.The best teams are not necessarily the ones made up of the brightest,cleverest individuals.A balance of skills,abilities and personalities is usually needed to make the team effective.Having the right mix of skills and qualities in the team is not the end of the story—someone has to pull it all together and make it work properly,i.e.someone has to be a leader and give the team direction.。
