The Programme for International Student Assessment, or PISA, carried out a survey on students' abilities to work together in groups. They found that students who do well on tests by themselves are also likely to be better at working with other people.
This finding was true for many countries. Students in Japan, South Korea, Finland and Canada, where test scores are high, also did well in working together to solve problems.
But this was not the case for every country. Chinese students, who achieve good grades, showed only average abilities to work together.
"One reason might be that Chinese parents and teachers focus too much on grades," said Zhao Zhongxin, former vice president of the Chinese Family Education Association. "Students have a lot of exam pressure and they view school as a place for competition."
"However, collaborative(合作的) skills are very important to prepare students for today's society," he added. "Luckily, more Chinese parents and teachers are realizing the importance of this and are thinking of ways to help students improve this skill."
Another interesting finding from the PISA survey was that girls tend to be better than boys at working together. They said girls show more positive attitudes(积极的态度) towards relationships, which means they are more willing to listen to others' opinions.
PISA also found that the classroom environment tends to influence how well students collaborate. In classes where there are a lot of activities that require communication, such as class debates, students tend to have better attitudes toward collaborating.
(1)、PISA did a survey about student' ability to ____ .A、work with other people B、get high scores on tests C、solve difficult problems D、make plans for school projects(2)、Why are top students in China less likely to work with others, according to Zhao Zhongxin?A、Because they prefer to work by themselves. B、Because their parents don't teach them such skills. C、Because they usually see others as competitors. D、Because they don't think they' ll need this skill.(3)、What can teachers do to improve students' collaborative skills?A、Give students high scores on every test. B、Help students get used to exam pressure. C、Make girls work with girls more than boys. D、Design more communicative activities in class.(4)、Which of the following is TRUE according to the survey?A、Girls are better at working with others than boys. B、Good class activities help students perform better in exams. C、Collaborative skills are less important than scores for students. D、In China, students who do well on tests are also better at collaboration.3. 阅读下面材料, 然后从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。Have you ever experienced the feeling of falling as you start to fall asleep? Sometimes you may wake up to this feeling. If so, don't worry. Many people have felt the same thing.
In fact, the muscle twitches(肌肉抽搐) in the arms, legs or other parts of the body are called hypnic jerk(入睡抽动) or sleep starts. And they are very common. Up to 70 percent of people experience them sometimes, Huffing to Post reported. But what causes it?
There are some theories(理论). Some scientists believe that the feeling of falling comes from the body relaxing itself, especially if the person is anxious or unable to get comfortable. As you' re going to sleep, your muscles become relaxed. But your brain stays awake. It misunderstands the relaxing of your muscles as a sign that you' re falling. The brain then jerks the body awake as if it's trying to protect you.
Other scientists believe that different phase(时期) of sleep might cause hypnic jerks. When we sleep, we experience two phases: non-rapid eye movement(NREM,非快速眼动睡眠期) and rapid eye, movement(REM,快速眼动睡眠期). During REM, our heart rate can act irregularly. If the body experiences flashes(一瞬间) of REM while entering sleep, these irregularities could cause twitches.
If you don't want to experience hypnic jerks, scientists have some suggestions. When you become deeply relaxed, you can learn how to reconnect your body with your brain slowly by moving your fingers and toes a little bit. Then start to move your head and open your eyes so that you can avoid the muscle twitches.
But experts agree that hypnic jerks, though sometimes scary, are harmless. If it wakes you up, simply roll over and go back to sleep, But keep in mind: a caffeinated drink, exciting evening activities or stress may make hypnic jerks happen more often.
(1)、What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A、There are all kinds of theories about hypnic jerks. B、People sometimes get anxious or uncomfortable. C、Different phases of sleep might cause hypnic jerks. D、The feeling of falling comes from the body relaxing itself.(2)、How many theories on the reasons for hypnic jerks are mentioned?A、Two. B、Three. C、Four. D、Five.(3)、Which of the following can make hypnic jerks happen more often?①Drinking caffeinated drink.
②Singing songs for a long time.
③Too much stress.
④Reading a book quietly.
A、①②③ B、②③④ C、①②④ D、①③④(4)、Which is the best title for the passage?A、What Causes Hypnic Jerks. B、Sleeping Is Good for Our Health. C、How to Experience Hypnic Jerks. D、Feeling of Falling While Going to Sleep.4. 阅读下面材料, 然后从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

5. 阅读下面短文, 从方框中所给的A-F六个选项中选择正确的答案(其中一项是多余选项), 使文本意思连贯。
Doctors say these tips will help people prevent trouble in the text neck.
Doctors encourage users to lift their phones to eye level rather than staring down at a screen. That way there's no added pressure from bending the neck downwards. Besides, users can look down at their phones with their eyes rather than bending their necks.
If the previous step is too awkward(笨拙的), simply don't use your smart phone as much. Many of the tasks performed on a smart phone can also be done on desktop-based apps.
For those who spend long periods of time on their phones, it's important to take breaks. Take a five-minute pause for every 15 minutes of smart phone use, and this one goes for tablet and laptops users too. If you' re sitting, get up, walk around and if possible, engage in step.
There are simple stretching exercises that can make muscles and tendons happy again after a long texting session. One is to turn the head as far as possible to the left, then back to neutral, and then all the way to the right. Next tilt (倾斜) the head ear-to-shoulder to one side, then return to upright, and then tilt to the other side.
People aren't supposed to fall asleep when they travel on airplanes and cars. When they do, the head often falls off the center of the neck, which can promote imbalance. Also, when in bed, it's important to avoid sleeping on the stomach.
A. Do some stretching.
B. Raise up your phone.
C. Buy a good phone.
D. Just put the phone down.
E. Take a regular rest.
F. Sleep in a right way.

Creativity is the key to a bright future. Here is how schools and parents can help their children to develop their creativity.
Drew worked for a company in 1925. At work, he invented a kind of material strong enough (hold) things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Drew didn't stop and finally, using his own time, made a kind of tape, which (use) now everywhere by many people. And his former(之前的) company learned from (it) mistakes. Now the company asked its workers to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking about and (develop) new ideas.
Creativity is not something one is born with. A person high intelligence(智力) does not mean that he uses it. Creativity is the matter of using your intelligence to creatively think of new ideas are good for something.
Children from many schools can give correct answers, but they are unable to use them to work out problems. It is important to give children (choose). From the earliest age, children should learn to make decisions and understand their results. As children grow (old), parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, not help them too much if they make the wrong decision. The child may have hard time, but that is all right.
