In 2075, fifteen-year-old Alex lives in a floating (漂浮的) city on the ocean that runs on clean energy. Robots do most housework, but school is still full of learning.
One sunny morning, Alex's teacher gives some special homework, "Design something that can make the world a better place." His classmates are quickly coming up with exciting ideas— flying gardens, river-cleaning drones (无人机) , and food printers (打印机). Alex, however, wants to make something small but meaningful.
He imagines a "Smile drone". This small drone can cheer up lonely people by playing their favourite music, sharing a joke, or bringing them a small gift. It uses AI to learn what makes each person happy. He hopes it can bring warmth and joy to their busy and high-tech (高科技的) world.

The idea of teamwork is very important to the success of any team. All coaches talk about working as one unit or as a team that plays as one. Teamwork and unselfishness create a great team; without them a team cannot play against other teams. You can have a group of superstars, but if they do not work well together, they are not going to be successful. There are some things to consider when you are looking at your team, like a common goal, communication, support and respect.
A winning team has members that share common goals and a common dream. Teams come together through shared attitudes towards a particular task. (Although they may come together for a number of different reasons, their goals are the same, which is to achieve top performance and experience success.) The ends may be different but the means by which one gets there is the same—teamwork.
Teamwork is something that must be on top of the list. Every member needs to understand how important it is for them to work well together if they want to be successful. Each member must be true to the whole team and be willing to act unselfishly. When challenges come, the team needs to deal with them in a positive manner, which asks every member of the team to encourage and support each other, and try to find a way out at the same time. A sense of teamwork will play an important part in this. Just remember TEAM—Together Everyone Achieves More!
(1)、What can make a great team according to Paragraph 1?(2)、How do teams come together according to the text?(3)、What does every member need to do when they want to be successful?(4)、把划线部分翻译成汉语。(5)、What do you think of teamwork? Write 30 words or more. -
