21、   The forest fire(火）broke out at 6 pm on March 30 at a remote spot in the 3,700 meters high mountains in Sichuan.

An official said it was caused by wind, combustibles( 易燃物)and dry air, a firefighter, said that "the fire came on so suddenly when the trees were burned down within seconds.

22、   I always have these questions in my mind-how does anxiety influence how we think? What classroom environments are most helpful to learning? Most experts agree that having the right team of people to come up with ideas to argue for plays an important role to find out the answers.

However, how do we know who the right people are when making a team? From the classroom and the workplace, to the laboratory and the playing field, research shows that diverse groups of people often make better decisions.

Professor Scott Page believes different ways of thinking from a particular group produces something additional. When people with their own "tools" come together to work on difficult tasks, the results are powerful.

Groups with different genders(性别) also hold merit here. Christine Lagarde said that better decisions are made when women and men come together at the table, creating what she calls a "larger horizon". She mentioned that while women make up only 2% of bank CEOs worldwide, banks who count women among the top leadership are likely to have better economic outcomes( 结果).

In 2010, researchers examined the performance of about 700 people (both men and women), working in groups of two to five, solving both simple and difficult tasks. They discovered that the best predictor of performance wasn't the average intelligence of group members. Instead it was a collective measure of intelligence, which had much to do with the number of women in the group. As women are good at reading others' faces and making the best of different opinions, they help to bring out a more productive outcome.

Finally, it turns out that the size of the group matters, too. Smaller groups can actually be more creative. A new study from University of Chicago found that while bigger teams are important for advancing science, smaller groups help "break it down"-a key part of creativity.

In today's workforce, people come together to cooperate on tough tasks, being encouraged to look to each other. Brainstorming with others in small, diverse groups helps ideas to shine in our mind and, more often than not, leads to the solution. It's a research-driven model for how to develop our collective problem-solving abilities by having the right teams of people producing good ideas worth fighting for.

【1】The underlined word "diverse groups" in Paragraph 2 probably means "______".

A.groups in which people have a close relation

B.groups with people who like thinking and sharing

C.groups in which people are different from each other

D.groups with people who are good at solving problems

【2】What can we learn from the research in 2010?

A.Groups with both genders make teamwork more fruitful.

B.Women are better at reading and accepting others' minds.

C.The average intelligence of group members really matters.

D.Banks should depend more on women in decision-making.

【3】What does the writer mainly want to show us?

A.Women in a group influence the collective intelligence.

B.Different groups of people usually produce different ideas.

C.Diverse teams can be expected to work out better outcomes.

D.The size of the group is important in dealing with problems.

23、Erin Brockovich grew up in Kansas, USA. She studied at a business college for a year, and then she went to California.

In 1990, when she was thirty years old, she had a car accident. A law firm (律师事务所) helped her after the accident, so she started to work for them later.

Her job was to organize papers (文件). One day Erin realized that there were lots of very sick people in a place called Hinkley. She felt it was unusual, so she started to look for more information about the town.

Erin worked very hard for five years. She visited lots of sick people in Hinkley and listened to their stories. All the sick people lived near a big factory called Pacific Gas and Electric. Then she discovered that there was something called chromium in the water they drank. It was from the factory and Erin believed that the people were sick because of the chromium in their drinking water. She planned to help them.

Erin started a law case (诉讼) against Pacific Gas and Electric. The factory wasn’t happy about this. They didn’t agree that the people were ill because of the water — but in 1996 the judge (法官) ordered Pacific Gas and Electric to pay the people in Hinkley $500,000 each.

In 2000, there was a film about Erin Brockovich. Julia Roberts played Erin and the film was very successful. Now Erin is famous — she has her own firm and she gives talks all over the world.

A. she studied law in college

24、How to say hello in Japanese depends on (取决于) when you say it. This is very much like different greetings in English at different times of the day or night. In Japanese culture, it also depends on whether (是否) you are on the phone or you are close to the person you are greeting. We don’t get formal (正式) with our friends. We seldom greet them with “Good morning” or “Good evening”. A “Hi” is enough.

The most popular and most well-known translation for “Hello” is still “Konnichiwa”, but it is not exactly how to say hello in Japanese. Perhaps it is not the most suitable (适当的) word for it. In fact, the correct greeting in English for “Konnichiwa” is “Good day” or “Good noon”, and I am sure you wouldn’t like greeting people with a “Good day” at any time, and Japanese also don’t like to say “Konnichiwa” when they want to say “Hello”.

Then what should we do? Let’s do it the way the Japanese do. Use “Ohaiyo Gonzaimasu” when it’s noon and “Konbanwa” to greet somebody in the afternoon. Things are different when you are on the phone. Just say “Moshi, Moshi”, which is actually similar (相似) to saying “Hello” over the phone, because one doesn’t often use “Good morning” or “Good afternoon” or “Good evening” right after picking up the phone. One invariably uses the sweet old “Hello”.

Next time, I’ll tell you something about my life in Japan.

【1】How do Japanese people greet each other in the afternoon?

A．By saying “Konbanwa”.

B．By saying “Moshi, Moshi”.

C．By saying “Konnichiwa”.

D．By saying “Ohaiyo Gonzaimasu”.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the writer?

A．Japanese people are not very friendly to each other,

B．Japanese culture is similar to American culture.

C．People don’t need to be polite to their close friends.

D．Japanese people don’t like using “Konnichiwa” as a greeting for the whole day.

【3】The underlined word “invariably” may mean “________”.

A．likely

B．maybe

C．always

D．sometimes

【4】From the passage we know that the writer ________.

A．is from Britain

B．lived in Japan for some time

C．is working in a radio station now

D．knows both Chinese and Japanese

【5】The best title for the passage should be “________”.

A．How to say hello

B．How to greet people in Japanese

C．How to greet close friends in Japanese

D．Some differences between English and Japanese
