Something terrible happened to Han Mei at school one day. When Han Mei and her friend Li Dan were walking down the stairs from the third floor, her classmate Xu Nuo accidentally hit her on the back. She lost her balance and fell down the stairs. She broke her left leg and her right arm was bleeding. She had a bruise (瘀伤) on her right leg too.
“Ouch! That hurt!” cried Han Mei. Her teacher Miss Gao called 120 right away.
Han Mei had to stay in hospital for a week. In the ward (病房), she met Wang Hong, who broke her arm in a car accident. They talked for long hours. They left the hospital on the same day.
The doctor told Han Mei that she had to stay at home for a month so that her leg could get well again. Han Mei could not go to school. She was upset. Wang Hong went to visit her. She told Han Mei interesting stories to cheer her up. They played chess and watched cartoons together.
When Han Mei could walk again, she joined some interest classes with Wang Hong. They visited many places together too. Since then, Wang Hong has been Han Mei’s best friend.
“This accident caused me a lot of pain, but luckily I got a best friend,” thought Han Mei.

In small towns, people are used to saying hello to their neighbors in stores, on the streets and in front of their homes. In today’s city life, people may feel uncomfortable talking to neighbors they don’t know well at the supermarket. However, greeting your neighbors is actually good for you, especially if you say hello to six people, according to a recent survey.
Saying hello to people increases well-being, but “six” is the magic number. The well-being score increases from zero to six and then there are no further increases. These results are from a survey. The survey was based on the answers from 4556 Americans. It covered social well-being, physical well-being, community well-being and more. People who said they didn’t say hello to anyone in their neighborhood scored 51.5. People who greeted six neighbors had a score of 64.1.
You might think that saying hello to neighbors is only about social well-being. In fact, regular (经常的) greetings also improve a person’s physical well-being and community well-being. That’s because all of these are connected. You will be more likely to speak to people if you think your community is safe. Your physical well-being can improve if you are getting out and walking around your neighborhood.
We don’t require that you know the person well; just stop and talk to him. But the more people you say hello to, the more likely you are to start a conversation.
While this is just a survey for now, saying hello regularly is a good way to improve your own wellbeing.

A. Introduction—Survey Results—Reason Analysis—Practical Suggestions
B. Introduction—Reason Analysis—Survey Results—Practical Suggestions
C. Introduction—Practical Suggestions—Survey Results—Reason Analysis
D. Introduction—Survey Results—Practical Suggestions—Reason Analysis
( )10. What does the writer encourage us to do?
A. Know about our neighbors well.
B. Speak to people if the community is safe.
C. Get out to improve our physical well-being.

We all enjoy being part of a group—there’s no better work than teamwork, right? Actually, I disagree. Teamwork can be hard. In fact, it was so difficult that I left my office job and started working from home on my own, which is a much better fit for me. I began to think about why teamwork can make our jobs harder.
To start with, a special personality can make teamwork difficult. There’s often someone on the team that puts his or her personal needs first. He or she is often selfish (自私的). The team often goes along with several persons like this. Just one person like this can make teamwork hard. With several persons like this working together, it’s even harder.
Not having enough time together can also make teamwork challenging. For example, I was once on a team where we never had as much time as we needed to meet as a group. To successfully work as a team, you need time together.
A final reason why teamwork is difficult is that there’s often no training on how to work on a team. You can’t just get together in a room and expect to work well with each other. You need to build trust with your team members. Think of football players. They aren’t just given a ball and told to play. They practice and they train to play well together.
Teamwork can be hard, but working alone has its challenges, too. When my computer doesn’t work, I don’t have an IT person to turn to. When I have a great idea, I don’t have anyone to share it with to see if it is really a great one. Don’t get me wrong—I still like my team of one and enjoy making all of the important decisions myself. But now I realize what was wrong with the teamwork I did in the past. I also get to know how good teamwork could be if done correctly. So, one day I might want to turn my ME TEAM into a WE TEAM.
( )11. Why did the writer leave his office job?
A. Because he needed a quiet working environment.
B. Because teamwork became challenging for him.
C. Because working alone could make the job easier.
D. Because working at home was very important.
( )12. Which word is close to the meaning of the underlined word “personality”?
A. Skill. B. Habit. C. Hobby. D. Character.
( )13. How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 4?
A. By listing the reason for teamwork training.
B. By giving an example of the football team.
C. By showing different ways of starting teamwork training.
D. By mentioning the difficulty of teamwork training.
( )14. What does the writer think of working alone?
A. It has no challenges at all.
B. It is always better than teamwork.
C. It also has some disadvantages.
D. It is sometimes difficult but interesting.
( )15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Fun of Working Alone
B. How Teamwork Helps the Jobs
C. Why Teamwork Makes the Jobs Harder
D. Differences of Teamwork and Working Alone
四、阅读表达。
阅读下面短文, 简略回答问题。
Have you heard of “soft skills” before? To be honest, they’re abilities that are not taught in school. However, to be truly happy and successful, you need to develop soft skills. Here are some of them.
Understand the power of non-language communication. If you have watched a nature program, you’ve probably seen how some animals communicate. For example, a wolf can control its young just by using a different look in its eyes. While humans have the ability to speak, about 55% of our face-to-face communication actually takes place through body language.
Know how to make others laugh. I’m sure with your friends and family you have a great sense of humor. However, how about at work or when you meet strangers? Break free, and add humor to your actions. Then your personal happiness will rise.
Respect others. Unfortunately, this soft skill seems to be going out of fashion at present. Too many people have become self-centered, and put their own hopes above the needs of other people. Please make sure you respect all those you come into contact with. Interestingly, by respecting others, you’ll find they respect you more in return.
Have persuasive (令人信服的) power. This isn’t some kind of superheroes’ power. It’s an ability that many people have developed. If you learn to communicate persuasively, you will go far.
