Team building games can be fun for teenagers. They can also be tools for strengthening the group. There are many levels of team building exercises. Let’s look at some activities that can help you build a stronger team.
Pass the Clap
Pass the Clap works well as a beginning activity to help your group get to know each other. Have the participants stand in a circle. One person starts the clap and then turns to face the person next to him. As they are about to make eye contact,they clap together. That next person now has the clap and he has to pass it on. Continue to pass the clap around the circle.
Blindfolded Birthday
Blindfolded Birthday works well after people have become a little more familiar with each other. Everyone puts on a blindfold. Then,without talking,they have to line up in order of birthdays.
Two Truths and a Lie
Two Truths and a Lie can be played anytime in the group’s operations. Have the participants sit in a circle. Each person is supposed to tell two truths and a lie about themselves. The group has to guess which is the lie.
Human Knot
Human Knot is an activity best played after your group has gotten quite familiar with each other,because there can be a lot of touching going on. Everyone gathers in a circle. They put their right hands in the middle of the circle. They grab someone else’s hand. Then the left hands go in the middle and they grab someone else’s hand. The group is now knotted up. The object of Human Knot is to untie the group without letting go of any hands.
21.Pass the Clap is most helpful for .
A.starting relationships B.rebuilding relationships
C.welcoming close friends D.celebrating some events
22.When playing Human Knot, .
A.the participants shouldn’t see each other
B.everyone should grab two people’s hands
C.everyone should tell their birthday to others
D.the participants shouldn’t have any body contact

Just a couple of hours ago,I was on the plane,ready to fly home from London. The flight had been delayed by a few hours so it felt good to be so close to takeoff. I had my iPod in place and a new book to read. Then,over the loudspeaker came the pilot’s voice:“The ground crew has found a metal instrument(器械) in one tire. We regret that we must cancel this flight.”
The passengers’ reactions that announcement led to were interesting. One man close to me began to argue with a flight attendant. A couple in another row complained loudly. A businessman in a black suit actually kicked the seat in front of him. Yet some passengers responded differently. An elderly gentleman smiled as he helped others take their bags down from the overhead compartments(行李厢).A teenager,rather than trying to rush off the plane like most of the other passengers,stopped to help a woman with a disability. The lady sitting next to me laughed and said,“Hey,it’s not the end of the world,” before she made a call to her kids and shared her adventure with them. The wisest among us have a remarkable ability to maintain grounded when times get tough.
No life is perfect;mine certainly isn’t. We all must face challenges,both large and small. You and I have the power to choose to rise above the external(外部的) circumstances. We always have the choice to be strong and kind when things fall apart.
That’s grace(风度) under pressure. My seatmate was right—things could have been so much worse. Anyway,I am safe. I have my health. I have two wonderful children. I have work I love and so much to be grateful for. Sure I now have to wait a few hours to catch the next flight home.
24.What caused the passengers’ different reactions?
A.The loudspeaker. B.The delay of the flight.
C.The ground crew’s fault. D.The pilot’s announcement.
25.Who turned his anger on the seat?
A.The teenager helping the disabled.
B.The old man taking bags down.
C.The man in a dark suit.
D.The man close to me.
26.What did the woman sitting next to the author do?
A.She assisted a disabled woman.
B.She made a phone call to her family.
C.She helped others carry their luggage.
D.She told moving stories to her children.
27.What can we learn from the story?
A.Our life is full of ups and downs.
B.It is natural to be scared under pressure.
C.We should help each other in times of difficulty.
D.We should be positive and calm when life is hard.

Gwendolyn Brooks was the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.
Her poems described conditions among the poor,racial inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women. But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She was an expert at the language of poetry. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.
In her early poetry,Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago. The South Side of Chicago is where many black people live. In her poems,the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was A Street in Bronzeville that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945.Critics praised her poetic skill and her powerful descriptions of the black experience during the time. The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.
In 1950,Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. She won the prize for her second book of poems called Annie Allen. Annie Allen is a collection of poetry about the life of a Bronzeville girl as a daughter,a wife and mother. She experiences loneliness,loss,death and being poor. Ms Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.
Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called Maud Martha. Maud Martha received little notice when it was first published. But now it is considered an important work by some critics. Its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today.
In some of her poems,Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are. One example is this poem,Corners on the Curing Sky.
By the end of the 1960s,Gwendolyn Brooks’s poetry expanded from the everyday experiences of people in Bronzeville. She wrote about a wider world and dealt with important
political issues.
28.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.The life of Gwendolyn Brooks.
B.The poems of Gwendolyn Brooks.
C.The understanding about black culture.
D.The struggles of black women.
29.What can we learn about Gwendolyn Brooks from the second paragraph?

D.Her poems were mainly about the African experience.

There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier:“Paper or plastic?” Well,which type of bag would you choose?
While all types of bags have some influence on the environment,it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder. They are made from a renewable source,break down easily,burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However,the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true?
Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher. Besides,the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags,which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling,the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does paper.
Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones,plastic still seems to be considered by governments as the more harmful of the two. In Ireland,for example,a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag,and as a result,their use has dropped quickly.
There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However,we don’t seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so,cloth bags are a better choice,but still,their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what
to do?How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question:“What can I do to help the environment?”
32.The questions in Paragraph 1 are used to .
A.express the author’s doubts
B.tell readers how to save money
C.introduce points for discussion
D.show the kindness of the cashier
33.Compared with plastic bags,paper bags .
A.need more water to produce
B.require less energy to recycle
C.take more time to break down
D.have less influence on forests
34.The underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ”.
A.shared B.given up
C.discussed D.put forward
35.Which question does the author probably hope the cashier will ask?
A.Paper or cloth? B.Paper or plastic?
C.A small bag or big one? D.A new bag or your own one?

How to Avoid an Internet Addiction
While it may seem like everyone surfs the web these days,there is a fine line between casually checking your social media pages and having a full blown Internet addiction. If you fear that you may lose interest in other aspects of your life because you prefer to be on the Internet,you may be on your way to an Internet addiction. 36
Admit you are at risk of an addiction.
More and more people in the world are becoming addicted to the Internet. You are not the only one with this problem,and it is becoming more and more common and more and more well-known. 37

Try keeping the lid closed when you are not using it. 38 If you have a desktop PC,try not to go near it or put something over it like a sheet.
Call people instead of sending instant messages or texts.
If you are free on weekends,call friends and ask them to go outside. This will distract you from the computer. 39
Use an alarm clock or timer.
Before using your computer,decide on a time limit such as 30 minutes. Set the clock or timer and make sure that you get off the computer when the time is up. Alternatively create a
shutdown timer on your desktop. 40

A Healthy Lifestyle
Hello everyone!I’m Zhang Ming and I’m very honoured to stand here to give you a speech.
We hope we will grow up happily and healthily,and for this goal we must do several things.
To begin with,we should develop a positive attitude towards life. Life consists of not only sunshine but also hard times. We should be brave in front of difficulties. Moreover,we must study hard because knowledge is power. If we have the power,we can help to build our country and enjoy our life better. In order to study well,we need to do sports so that we can keep fit. We can go running,play ball games or simply take a walk after a day’s study. In short,I’m convinced that if we do those things well,we will be able to grow up happily and healthily.
