(抚顺模拟预测)In today's world, teamwork is an essential(必备的)skill that helps us achieve our goals. Whether in school, sports or future workplaces, working well with others can make a significant difference. But what is teamwork?
Teamwork is the ability to work together towards a same goal. It includes communicating, sharing and respecting each other's ideas. When we work together, we can combine our advantages and skills to solve problems.
For example, in a school project, each team member may have different abilities. One student may be good at writing while another student may be good at research. By sharing tasks based on advantages of everyone, the team gets higher quality results. In this way, teamwork improves not only grades but also the learning experience.
In sports, teamwork is key for success. A football team needs players to pass the ball, defend and score together. If they don't work together, the team will lose. The members learn to trust and support each other, which helps them build strong relationships on the field.
In addition, teamwork can create a sense of belonging. When we work with others, we feel connected and valued. This connection can encourage us to do more. It also teaches us important life skills, like solving problems and resolving difficulties.
In summary, teamwork is very important for success in many areas of life. By learning to work together, we can not only achieve our goals but also build meaningful relationships and important skills that will help us in the future. Teamwork can lead us to great achievements!

(沈阳期中)The Most Valuable Player(MVP)award was what I hoped to get.
Back in Grade 6, football became my favourite sport. I wasn't the best player on the team at the beginning of the year. But after a lot of hard work, by the end of the year, I felt that I was the MVP.
As the football season went on, we finally finished second in the city. Our team was a very good team, and I was a big part of that. Kenny was the captain(队长), but I was the player who scored the most goals in the team. Kenny would always pass the ball to all his players. At the end of the year, there was a sports dinner at school. People got prizes for excellent performance. Everyone on the team felt that I would get the MVP. At the end of the dinner, the coach stood up and announced(宣布)the winners for the prizes, “The winner for the MVP is Kenny.”
How could that be? I couldn't believe my ears. After the event, the coach came up to me and explained. He said, “You were the best player on the team, but you did not pass the ball. You were out there for yourself but not for the team. You have to realise that football is about the team, not about one individual player.” I was ashamed by what the coach had said.
Now I am in Grade 8 and the captain of the football team. I feel that I have learned that a team sport is not just about you. It is about “us”. Now I am both a better player and a better captain because of this.

( )3.What does the underlined word “individual” mean in paragraph 4 in English?
A.Personal.
B.Polite.
C.Excellent.
D.Active.
( )4.What does the text mainly tell us?
A.Failure is the mother of success.
B.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C.Teamwork makes the dream work.
D.The most important thing is to be “me”.
