Soon, there was a terrible smell in the air and I thought something was wrong. I went out and saw fire coming out of my neighbor’s kitchen. So I shouted “Fire! Fire!” But no one heard or came out.

I ran quickly into my house to call 119, and then I rang my neighbor’s doorbell, knocked at the door, but there was no response. I got into the house through the window and found my neighbor sleeping in his bedroom. I woke him up and we rushed out of the house together.

We tried our best to pour water through the kitchen window, but the fire was too heavy. Luckily, the firemen came and put out the fire quickly. When my parents came back, they found I was dirty and tired. After my neighbor told them the whole story, they were happy and said I was a brave boy.

【題目】根據(jù)短文意思和所給首字母，寫(xiě)出一個(gè)完整正確的單詞。
We need friends when we play and work. If we have friends, we'll feel happy. If we have no friends, we will feel l. But what is Forever Friend? When you're down, and the world s dark and empty, your forever friend cheers you u and makes that world suddenly seem bright and full. Your forever friend gets you t the hard times and the sad times. If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows. If you lose your w, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on. Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay.

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(性別) 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( 結(jié)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.

Recently, a British survey found that electronic(電子的) products in teenagers’ bedrooms are affecting(影響) their sleep.

The survey was done among 1，000 British kids from 12 to 16.It found that 30% of them got just 4 to 7 hours of sleep every day. But doctors say they need 8 to 9 hours.

Almost a quarter of the kids said they fell asleep more than once a week while watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic products.

“This is very worrying，” said Dr. Chris Idzikowski，a British expert，“We call it ‘junk sleep’．It means you don’t get enough sleep and the quality of the sleep is bad, too. If you don’t get a good rest，you don’t perform well in school the next day.”

The survey found that 40% of the kids felt tired each day，with girls between 13 and 16 feeling the worst. Nearly all the teenagers have a cellphone，an iPad or a TV in their bedrooms. And many of them have all the three.

Humans’ Greatest Achievements
The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, but the human race has lived on it for just 200,000 years. In that short time, we have achieved some amazing things.
The list is almost endless. The invention of the airplane has changed our lives. The discovery of antibiotics (抗生素) has saved the lives of millions of people. Can you imagine living without electricity? What about the printing press (印刷術(shù))? Without the printing press, you wouldn’t be reading this. In the last 50 years, there have been great achievements in communication, such as radio, TV, computers, the Internet, and smartphones (智能手機(jī)).
What about the arts? The arts have brought pleasure to many people, but are the Beatles and Bach more important than antibiotics?
Finally, we must not forget humans' early achievements. We can't imagine modern life without cooked food and cars.
What are humans' greatest achievements? To answer the question, we need to decide what we mean by “great”. Or is it just something that makes us say “Wow,” like the Great Wall? What do you think?
