Working well in a team requires full cooperation.It’s an important skill for almost every employee to have.Your ability to do your job is dependent upon others getting your work done, and others depend on you to get their work done.
Communicate well. Lack of communication is one of the biggest reasons of a team’s failure.Seek input from team members so they feel like a valuable part of the team.Communication establishes trust among team members.In addition, communicating well can help prevent and resolve conflict.Meet regularly to keep members involved and aware of your work progress.Post decisions where everyone in the team can see them.
Be flexible. In teamwork, priorities and responsibility can change instantly.Stay ready to shift focus.Training team members to be able to do parts of other team members’ jobs can be a valuable part of teamwork; being flexible helps to build appreciation for all the parts of the team.
Meet deadlines. Work hard to ensure you meet established deadlines when you work in a team environment.Others are depending on your work.Negotiate timelines with your teammates at the start of a project.Doing so allows you to have a say in how work gets accomplished.
Establish accountability. All team members must be responsible for the success and failure of the project.Although not every team needs a leader, teams require a formal way to ensure everyone does his part.Try using meetings to report on progress.
Celebrate accomplishments and encourage the team. Senior executives may not always recognize the importance of some team members’ work.Share congratulations at team meetings and talk about whose work is invaluable in helping you get your work done.

Best friends may be priceless but the cost of keeping the relationship alive is ￡23，870.
According to a study, a BFF(Best Friend Forever) does not come cheap with devoted pals blowing ￡4，679 on birthday presents alone over a lifetime.And while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on, bighearted Britons go the extra mile and spend ￡ 168 on pickmeups(提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch(艰难时刻) like the breakup of a relationship.
There’s a further ￡242 spent on presents to show how much they mean from gifts bought on holiday to treats for no reason.And distance does not break up a close friendship as BFFs spend a whopping(巨大的)￡18，000 on travel to see each other despite being miles apart because of university, jobs and marriage.
The study by cashback site TopCashBack found on average BFFs who wed can expect ￡ 431 spent on them and a further ￡ 283 on gifts when they have children.And they can rely on their pals to help out when they move house as they will obtain ￡ 127 worth of housewarming presents and takeaways as well as putting in a shift with the packing and unpacking.
The survey based on a friendship lasting 40 years found more than eight in ten adults with a BFF felt their friendships were worth every penny.
TopCashBack spokesperson Natasha Smith said, “Those friendships which stand the test of time are often the most important in our lives.However, they come at a cost.From train tickets once a month to flights and a new dress for a wedding on the Italian coast, the price paid for having a best mate can soon add up.But when we asked people to compare their friendship with the monetary investment, only 14% thought their friendship was equal to their investment with the vast majority thinking it was worth more.”

(2017·西宁三校4月联考)
Several days ago I was badly late for dinner with Sigourny Luz, the Australian actor who shares my house with me, and my younger son, Jake Lyall, who is an actor in California, but was visiting.
I had been kept by an event for the young at the EnglishSpeaking Union about speechmaking.It dealt with not only how to make a speech, but also how to assess any speeches they may be called upon to judge.And, with all this coming my way, I found myself, as ever, feeling incredibly lucky to have English as my native tongue.
It’s so easy to read the books of what used to be the empire and with the news and so many films coming from across the Atlantic.Also, even apart from these admirable enjoyments, there’s the likelihood that in most of the places where they speak different languages, there will be one person, at least, who is paid to cope with the English language.We are, on the whole, understood wherever we go.
Although Mandarin and Spanish are now, in fact, the two most common languages in the world, English is still seen by many as being the most influential.It is, according to scholars such as cognitive scientist Steven Pinker, the language that connects the most people worldwide.English is probably as universal as it is likely to get.

Are you a social media addict？Are you always checking your smartphone to see how many “likes” you’ve received for your latest post? Maybe you feel comforted by the sound that someone has sent you a message?
Don’t worry, you’re not alone.We check our phones an average of 150 times a day, and around 30% of the total time spent online is devoted to social media.Some experts now fear this habit could be damaging our mental health.
This is something particularly bothering young adults, according to a study from the University of Pittsburgh.It found the more they used social media, the more likely they were to be depressed(沮丧的)．In tests, those people who checked social media frequently were 2.7 times more likely to be depressed compared to those who spent most of their time generally surfing the Internet, who had just 1.7 times the risk.
Some of us certainly feel sad when we’re ignored on social media sites, or when we see someone else having a better time than us.But depression is a more serious condition and clinical psychologist, Abigael San, recently told the BBC that, “It’s a real issue, and it’s been getting significantly worse over the last 56 years.You can get so hooked that it takes you away from your real relationships.” However, Abigael does admit that social media is more likely to worsen pre

existing issues than directly cause them.
Other research by the University of Glasgow found that teenagers are affected by the 24hour demands of their social media accounts.It found that those with higher levels of emotional investment in social media, and who use it at night, were more likely to feel depressed and anxious.
Despite these warning signs, why do some of us continue to keep clicking？Well, I suppose we all want to be liked and we don’t want to miss out on a conversation that’s taking place online.But we need to know when to switch off our virtual(虚拟的) online world and connect with the real world instead.
12．Who is more likely to be depressed according to the study?
A．People checking social media frequently.
B．People surfing the Internet regularly.
C．People receiving a few “likes” for their posts.
D．People longing for more messages.

B．Because the virtual world is much more attractive.
