Ⅳ. 阅读理解(主题：人与自然·合作交流)
How do you feel when your teacher asks you to work on a group project with other students? Do you like to work together with others?
The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) carried out a study of students' teamwork ability. They found that students who did well in tests by themselves were likely to be better at working with others. This finding was true for many countries. Students in Japan, South Korea, Finland and Canada got high scores in the tests and also did well in working together to solve problems.
But this was not the case for every country. Chinese students, who had high scores as well, showed just average ability to work in groups. "One reason might be that Chinese parents and students pay much attention to grades," said Zhao Zhongxin, a member 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 have been thinking of ways to help students hone them."
Another interesting finding from the study was that girls can be better than boys at working together. They said girls show more positive attitudes towards relationships, which means they are happier to listen to others' opinions. This makes them feel more comfortable working together with others in groups.
PISA also found the classroom environment can influence how well students work together. In classes, if there are a lot of activities that require communication like class discussions, students might have a better attitude towards working together.
