三、阅读理解

When our class was told to do a group science project, I was worried. I didn't like working with others because I thought I could do it better alone. My group had three other students: Lily, Tom and Kate. Lily was good at designing, Tom was great at doing experiments, and Kate was excellent at writing reports.

At first, I tried to do everything myself. I designed the project, did the experiments and started writing the report. But I made a lot of mistakes. The experiment didn't work, and my report was messy. Lily saw this and said, "Why don't we divide the work? I can design, Tom can do the experiments, you can help Tom with data collection, and Kate can write the report."

I was hesitant, but I agreed. We started working together. Lily made a clear design that was easy to follow. Tom did the experiments carefully and got good results. I helped him record the data accurately. Kate wrote a clear and organized report using our data.

When we presented our project to the class, we got the highest score. Our teacher praised us for our great teamwork. I realized that working with others is better than working alone. Everyone has different strengths, and when we combine them, we can do something amazing.

C. Because the project was too difficult.

D. Because he didn't know how to do experiments.

(    )2. What was Lily good at?
