How do you feel when your teacher asks you to work on a group project with other students? Do you like to work together with others or work alone?
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. -

18、 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
It's quite natural for us to make mistakes. However, if you make the same mistake for three times or even more, you' re too silly to be forgiven. How do you avoid(避免) making the same mistake again in daily study? I think keeping an error (错误) correction book after class is a good way. Mistakes must be corrected in the students' learning. Correcting is more valuable over the long term, especially for middle school students. An error correction book can help you in these ways.
Pay attention to your mistakes in time. When correcting mistakes, students will think seriously and improve from correcting mistakes. Always looking over your own error correction book can make up for your knowledge gaps.
Develop good studying habits. The reasons why students make mistakes are as follows: They don't fully understand what they have learned; They don't remember what they should remember; They are too careless.
To find out the reasons for the mistakes, students will avoid the above points. And then they won't repeat them. Gradually, they will develop the good habits of listening carefully, remembering things and overcoming problems.
Provide the helpful basis for the final review. The error correction book can become one of the most useful tools. It can help students to avoid making similar mistakes in the exam. The error correction book is valuable for every student.
(1)、What is more valuable for middle school students according to the text?A、Reading a lot of books. B、Remembering enough words. C、Finding out all the mistakes. D、Correcting mistakes they' ve made.(2)、What does the underlined word"gaps" in Paragraph 2 probably mean in Chinese?A、优点 B、缺口 C、技巧 D、能力(3)、Which of the following statement is NOT true?A、Looking over error correction books can make up for your knowledge gaps.

Welcome to life in the future! You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. You' ve recently had a new anti-aging(抗衰老) treatment, so you look like a 30-year-old. And many people your age could live to be 120 now, so--at 60--you' re not old at all.
Science has also found amazing ways to keep people healthy. Nanotechnology(纳米技术) can help cure(治愈) many illnesses, including cancer(癌症). And if any part of your body is unhealthy, you can"grow" a new one in a laboratory(实验室).
As you get dressed, you say to your shirt, "Turn red." It becomes red. In 2045, "smart" clothes contain nanoparticles(纳米粒子) that carry electricity. So you can program clothes to change colors or patterns
On the way to the kitchen, you want to call a friend. Your cell phone is by the window because it gets its energy from the sun. But you don't need to pick up the phone. You can just touch your jacket sleeve(袖子) to make the call
It's breakfast time. You reach for the milk, but a voice says, "Don't drink that!" Your fridge knows the milk is old and tells the supermarket to replace it. Ten minutes later, it's delivered by a drone(无人机).
As you leave for work, the lights turn off by themselves. Your home goes into"sleep" mode to save energy. In 2045, cars drive themselves, so you just tell your driverless car where you want to go.
Will all this come true? Perhaps the future is much closer than we think.
