22、   How do you feel when you teacher asks you to work on a group project with other student? Do you like to work together with others or work alone?

The Programme for International Student Assessment, or PISA, carried out a survey of student's ability 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 have high scores as well, displayed just average collaborative （合作的）skills. "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 see schools as places for competition." "However, collaborative skills are very important for preparing 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 can be better than boys at working together. They said girls show more positive attitudes （态度）to wards relationships, which means they are more willing to listen to other' opinions.

PISA also found that the classroom environment can influence how well students collaborate. In classes where there are a lot of activities that require communication such as class debates, students might have better attitudes towards collaborating.

【1】The PISA did the survey to find out the students' ability to____________.

A.work with other people B.get high scores on tests

C.solve difficult problems D.make plans for projects

【2】What can we know from the findings of the survey?

A.Boys are better at working with others than girls.

B.Students who do well on tests are worse at working with others.

C.Collaborative skills are less important than scores for students' futures.

D.The classroom environment can influence students' ability to work together.

【3】What do Chinese teachers and parents think of working together now?

A.They like it a lot.

B.They can't stand it.

C.They think it's important.

D.They think it's unnecessary

【4】What can be done to improve students' ability to work together according to the passage?

A.Giving students high scores on every test.

B.Helping students to get used to exam pressure.

C.Making girls work with girls rather than boys.

D.Arranging more communicative activities in class.

B.Chinese students' ability to work with others.

C.The findings of a survey about working together.

D.The difference between boys and girls in working together.

23、Musical Notes

An orchestra(管弦乐队) would face difficulty in making music together if each player did not know how long to hold each note(音符). Each instrument would start its own beat(拍子) or melody(旋律), and nothing would come together properly. This is why it is so important for a musician to know what each note looks like and how long it is supposed to be held.

Below is a chart of the most common types of musical notes. The chart tells how many beats per measure(每小节) each note should be held. The length of a measure determined(确定) by the time signature at the beginning of a piece of music.

【1】Which notes lasts for 1/2 beat per measure?

A．

B．

C．
