How to get on well with others
This year, who “entertained us, challenged us and changed our world”? Absolutely(毫无疑问地), Jeremy Lin, an Asian-American NBA rising star, is one of those people. On April 18, TIME Magazine named him one of 2012’s Most Influential People in the World.
Lin, 23, is not just a good basketball player, but also a graduate of Harvard University, one of the best universities in the world.
“Lin has broken the idea that one can’t be a world-class athlete on the court and an excellent student off the court at the same time.” US Education Secretary Arne Duncan wrote in the TIME article about Lin.
At 191cm, Lin isn’t especially strong, compared with other point guards (组织后卫) in the team. What makes Lin stand out from other players is his hard work and never-give-up spirit.
“I know how the team works. I may not get an opportunity, but I’m just going to put it all into this and see what happens.” Lin once said. He kept arriving early, leaving late, practicing hard and learning from other experienced players. Finally, when his opportunity came, he started to shine.
“He earned(赚得) it.” Duncan said. “He lives the right way, and he plays the right way. He works hard and stays modest. He sets a good example for young people today. ”

Teamwork Is the Key to Business Success
Today most businesses are looking for people who are good team players. The ability to work with and get on with other people is so important that many large organizations spend millions of dollars on finding the right people for their business.
At the recent Success in Business Conference, some of Europe’s most successful businessmen told us how they found good team players.
“A good team needs people with different skills and talents. It is good to bring new ideas into the organization. The best people can work with other people and develop ideas with a team. It is important that everyone uses their talents in the business. I look for people who have the skills and talents my business needs, but they must be able to work in a team.”(John Brown, Design Works)
“At interviews I like to bring a group together and look for people who work well in a group. A good team player is usually friendly and easy to talk to. They are also good at listening to other people. They are generous and happy to share their ideas. ”(Lee Chung, Computer World.)
“Most teams need a mixture of people. It is great to have people with ideas but you also need people who get things done on time. A team made up of people that all have the same skills would not work. You need to know what you are looking for.”(Jane Lin, Lin Electricals)
“I look for people who can bring out the best in other people. In a group you can see the people that know how to get a team working together. They understand teams and they can make them work. A good team is the key to success.”(Jim Khan, Northern Bank)
Everyone agreed that teamwork is the key to business success!

Look at the plant in the picture. It looks beautiful, right? Can you imagine (想象) it kills?
The Venus flytrap is a kindof meat-eating plant. It grows in very few places, like wetlands near the sea in North Carolina in America.
The Venus flytrap is not a large plant. It grows to be only about a foot tall. The plant has white flowers in the spring, but it is the plant’s leaves that make it so interesting. The ends of the leaves have folding parts with stiff, tiny hairs (带小硬刺的可折叠部分). These are the plant’s “traps (捕捉器)”.
What does the Venus flytrap eat? As you might guess, the Venus flytrap eats flies (苍蝇). It also eats spiders, ants and crickets (蟋蟀). The Venus flytrap makes most of its food with sun, air and water, just like other plants. Living things just give it extra nutrition (额外营养) to grow well in wetlands.
How does this plant trap and eat living things? The Venus flytrap uses a sweet liquid (液体) to attract its food. When a fly lands on one of the plant’s open traps, hairs on the surface make the trap close. And when the trap closes, the fly is dinner!
If you want to have your own Venus flytrap at home, you have to buy the plant from a special place. You can’t take a Venus flytrap from where it grows! There are laws about taking it out of the wild. Where does the Venus flytrap grow?
A.In the wetlands. | B.In the desert. | C.In the rocks. | D.In the sea. |
About the Venus flytrap, which of the following is true?
A.It is a large plant. |
B.It only eats spiders. |
C.It has white flowers. |
D.It can fly in the sky. |
Which is the right order of the following events in Paragraph 5?
a. The trap of the Venus flytrap closes.
b. A fly lands on one of the plant’s open traps.
c. The fly is kept in the trap as the food of the plant.
d. The Venus flytrap uses a sweet liquid to attract its food.
A.d-b-a-c | B.a-b-c-d |
C.b-d-a-c | D.d-b-c-a |
How can people get a Venus flytrap?
A.They can get it from where it grows. |
B.They can buy it from a special place. |
C.They can grow it in their gardens. |
D.They can buy it in a park. |
Why does the Venus flytrap kill?
A.Because it needs extra nutrition. |
B.Because it hates flies. |
C.Because insects are its main food. |
D.Because it kills for fun. |

How can we reduce traffic accidents? First, all of us must obey(遵守) the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn’t drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it won’t be easy to stop the cars in a very short time. The drivers mustn’t drink wine before they drive out.

If there are no underpasses or footbridge, we must walk the crosswalk. We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It’s not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down. Second, try to help children, old people or blind people to cross the road. Third, never play in the street.

We often act like babies when we want to be happy. Why? I think it is because children have no worry and they don’t complain.
We can set a goal in our life and go after what we want. But if we’re ① all the time, how can we live happily? If you don’t believe me, count how many ① you complain about something in one day. Whether it is being trapped in busy traffic or troubled by weather, or whatever it is, there are endless things you can find to complain about.
But it’s not just the outside condition that we will complain about. We complain about ourselves too. We complain that we don’t have enough time or money, and that we’re not smart enough, cool enough, or just enough. Many times we experience lots of unpleasant things because of complaining about things we can’t control.
Think about how much happier you would be if you stopped complaining? ②Much of what you complain about is out of your control anyway. What’s the meaning of thinking about something you have no power to change?
Finding out what you are complaining about is the first step to stop complaining. Ask yourself if you prefer to complain or to be happy.
It’s best to stop to enjoy the beautiful life, but not to waste time to complain.
在①处填上适当的词,使文章完整。
将②译成中文。
