第一部分 必修四 Module 5 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2015·安徽黄山二次质检) Teamwork is all about working together to achieve a common goal or purpose. Is teamwork out of date? Why is it so hard to effectively conduct teamwork in those days? One way we employ teamwork in everyday lives is by becoming a parent, It is parents' job to teach their children the basic skills and give them the knowledge they need to be successful in life. This, to me, requires teamwork. For example, the mother teaches her children manners and good health skills, while the father teaches them how to catch a ball or drive a car. However, in today's society, we find that more and more parents are feeling that this teamwork is a onesided thing. According to a report ，there are 13.7 million single parents raising their children in the US and this could be due to the fact that parents don't take responsibility for their children, so they leave one parent to do it alone. This is a sad fact, and it reflects that effective teamwork is losing ground in the parenting aspect of our everyday lives. Another place where teamwork affects us greatly is in our jobs. It doesn't matter if you have a small company or a large company: if you have at least one employee and yourself，then teamwork works. I have noticed that with the current economic recession (衰退), people are racing to grab jobs but the quality of people's work has gone down greatly.It just appears to me that people do not take pride in their work any more. They get to work as fast as they can，just to receive the paycheck, but their quality standards fly_right_out_of_the_window. So I think teamwork is losing ground in the workforce. |
