Passage 1
The Big Stone River is one of the most amazing stone rivers in the world. It is also one of the most interesting sights of Taganai Park in Russia.

Teamwork is very common in school and our daily life. Students work together to finish class projects or prepare for school activities. Players team up to win ball games, and people in different fields need to cooperate with each other to complete difficult tasks. Teamwork spirit means working well with others, listening carefully, sharing useful ideas and trying hard to reach a common goal. It is one of the most important life abilities for teenagers to develop.
Working in a team helps us improve ourselves in many ways. When we discuss in groups, we learn to listen to different opinions and respect others instead of only thinking about ourselves. We also learn to communicate politely when we disagree with each other. Besides, teamwork teaches us to take responsibility and support each other. If someone falls behind or meets difficulties, the whole team should encourage and help him instead of laughing at him.
Teamwork does not mean losing ourselves or following others blindly. Everyone should put forward their own ideas and do their part carefully. Only when everyone tries their best can the team become strong and efficient. A good team can achieve far more than a single person. With good teamwork spirit, we can solve problems more easily and become more confident and responsible for our future life.

Passage 11
Teamwork is one of the most important qualities (品质) we need to develop, as it helps us finish difficult tasks easily and teaches us to respect others, communicate well and grow together. A great team is not just people working together, but a group that supports each other, shares ideas and works towards a common goal (目标). There are three key points to build a great team.
First, a great team needs a clear common goal. All members should know what they are working for and try their best to reach it. Without a clear goal, the team will be disorganized (缺乏组织的) and can’t finish tasks well.
Second, members should respect each other’s strengths and weaknesses. When someone is in trouble, others should help actively. When someone has good ideas, others should listen carefully and accept them.
Third, good communication is necessary. Members should share thoughts and difficulties openly and solve disagreements. Last term, our class joined a school group project competition. We set a clear goal, divided work, helped each other and communicated well. We won the first prize at last. This experience made us understand deeply that teamwork makes the dream work and is the key to success.
1. What can teamwork help us do according to paragraph 1?
A.Finish difficult tasks easily. B.Make a lot of money.
C.Avoid all difficulties. D.Work alone better.

Passage 12
Colours can influence our emotions. Different colours have different influences on us.
Red is the colour of fire, heat, and blood (血). People often connect it with strong feelings like love and anger. Red can also make people feel energetic. For example, in some restaurants, the walls are painted red to encourage people to eat more. However, too much red can make people feel stressed.
Blue is a calm and peaceful colour. It can make people feel relaxed. Hospitals often use blue because it can help patients feel less nervous. Blue can also lower blood pressure and slow down the heart rate (心率). But if a person is feeling sad, being in a blue room may make them feel worse.
Green is the colour of nature. ▲ Green can make people feel refreshed and balanced. In many offices, people use green plants to make the environment more comfortable. Green is also good for our eyes. When we are tired from looking at the computer screen, looking at something green can help our eyes relax.
Yellow is a bright and cheerful colour. It is often used to attract attention. For example, school buses are painted yellow so that people can see them easily. Yellow can also make people feel happy and full of hope. But too much yellow can be too exciting and make people feel irritable. They might get angry easily over small things.

Passage 3
Many teenagers often wonder what jobs they will do in the future. Some want to be doctors to help sick people. Some hope to be teachers to pass on knowledge. Others dream of being artists, scientists or even police officers.
But choosing a job is not just about interest. We should also think about our own skills and what society needs. For example, if you enjoy talking with people, you might be suitable for being a reporter or a guide. If you are patient and careful, working in a hospital or an office may be a good choice.
No job is easy. Every job requires hard work and responsibility. The most important thing is to find a job that makes you happy and feel your work is meaningful. As long as you keep learning and trying, you will surely find your right place in the future.

Passage 10
Teamwork is very common in school and our daily life. Students work together to finish class projects or prepare for school activities. Players team up to win ball games, and people in different fields need to cooperate with each other to complete difficult tasks. Teamwork spirit means working well with others, listening carefully, sharing useful ideas and trying hard to reach a common goal. It is one of the most important life abilities for teenagers to develop.
Working in a team helps us improve ourselves in many ways. When we discuss in groups, we learn to listen to different opinions and respect others instead of only thinking about ourselves. We also learn to communicate politely when we disagree with each other. Besides, teamwork teaches us to take responsibility and support each other. If someone falls behind or meets difficulties, the whole team should encourage and help him instead of laughing at him.
Teamwork does not mean losing ourselves or following others blindly. Everyone should put forward their own ideas and do their part carefully. Only when everyone tries their best can the team become strong and efficient. A good team can achieve far more than a single person. With good teamwork spirit, we can solve problems more easily and become more confident and responsible for our future life.

Passage 11
Teamwork is one of the most important qualities (品质) we need to develop, as it helps us finish difficult tasks easily and teaches us to respect others, communicate well and grow together. A great team is not just people working together, but a group that supports each other, shares ideas and works towards a common goal (目标). There are three key points to build a great team.

Second, members should respect each other’s strengths and weaknesses. When someone is in trouble, others should help actively. When someone has good ideas, others should listen carefully and accept them.
Third, good communication is necessary. Members should share thoughts and difficulties openly and solve disagreements. Last term, our class joined a school group project competition.

This experience made us understand deeply that teamwork makes the dream work and is the key to success.

Passage 12
Colours can influence our emotions. Different colours have different influences on us.
Red is the colour of fire, heat, and blood (血). People often connect it with strong feelings like love and anger. Red can also make people feel energetic. For example, in some restaurants, the walls are painted red to encourage people to eat more. However, too much red can make people feel stressed.
Blue is a calm and peaceful colour. It can make people feel relaxed. Hospitals often use blue because it can help patients feel less nervous. Blue can also lower blood pressure and slow down the heart rate (心率). But if a person is feeling sad, being in a blue room may make them feel worse.
Green is the colour of nature. ▲ Green can make people feel refreshed and balanced. In many offices, people use green plants to make the environment more comfortable. Green is also good for our eyes. When we are tired from looking at the computer screen, looking at something green can help our eyes relax.
Yellow is a bright and cheerful colour. It is often used to attract attention. For example, school buses are painted yellow so that people can see them easily. Yellow can also make people feel happy and full of hope. But too much yellow can be too exciting and make people feel irritable. They might get angry easily over small things.
