Question

If you are a motivated person, it is easy to put your personal goals ahead of those of the people around you. It is natural and not necessarily a bad thing. However, it is crucial t learn to be a team player. Acting as a part of a team builds character, teacher empathy （共鸣）, and eventually achieves goals.1.Here’s why:

Group Effort Is More Effective than Individual Effort. You can run a small business pretty independently, but if you ever plan on being employed or running a business that employs others, you’ll have to learn how to work with other people.2.

Improving Others Equals Improving Yourself. If you’re on a team, your personal success helps make you a good team player. This is because most people are at least a little bit competitive, whether they admit it or not. When you do well, you set a standard that others will want to meet. By pushing yourself, you help push the people on your team.3.When you see someone you’re working with do something better than you, more often than not, you’ll push yourself to meet that standard.

Your Attitude Matters4. People respect the ability to work well with others more than anything. Your individual actions have an impact, but if you’re reluctant to do something to help your team, it’ll be evident and your contribution will be less appreciated. Having a genuine interest in your team helps you as well as those you’re working with.

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了个人成功与团队成功之间的关系。个人的成功与组织成就之间是相互影响的；比起个人的成功，团队成功更加的重要；作为一个个体，每个人都应该为团队考虑，将自己看做团队中不可缺少的一部分，积极为团队做出贡献。

1.根据“it is crucial to learn to be a team player. Acting as a part of a team builds character, teacher empathy （共鸣）, and eventually achieves goals”，主要讲的是作为团队的一份子应该怎么做，再结合后文“Here’s why”阐述原因，可推知横线处所叙述的应该是为什么要积极地为团队做贡献。故选F。

2.根据“Group Effort Is More Effective than Individual Effort”，可知此段主要讲述的是，比起个人的努力，群体的努力是更有效的，主要想表达群体的重要性以及群体的意义，故选G。

3.根据“When you do well, you set a standard that others will want to meet. By pushing yourself, you help push the people on your team”当你做的很好时，你也在为别人设立了一个想要达到的标准，在你自己取得进步的同时，你也在推动团队中别的人前进，再根据后文“When you see someone you’re working with do something better than you, more often than not, you’ll push yourself to meet that standard”当你看到往往做的不如你好的人，做的比你好时，你也会促使自己达到他的那个标准，根据前后文，可知，这种前进的力量是别人推动的，而这种力量又是相互的。故选A。

4.根据“Your Attitude Matters”可知本段主要讲述个人对组织的态度，结合文章“Your individual actions have an impact, but if you’re reluctant to do something to help your team, it’ll be evident and your contribution will be less appreciated. ”你个人的行为有重要的作用，但是如果你不情愿去做一些事帮助你的团队，那么你个人的贡献也就不太会被别人所欣赏，因此，推测本段主要是讲述个人应该积极成为团队的一份子，为团队做贡献。故选D。

5.根据“As much as your work is important and necessary to the success of your team, the success of your team is important and necessary to your success”你的工作对于你的团队的成功来说是重要的和必须的，同样，团队的成功对于你自己的成功来说也是重要的、必须的，因此，推测本段主要讲述的是团队成功与个人成功之间的相互影响。故选B。
