Helping Each Other, Growing Together
Lily was good at English but struggled with math, while her deskmate Tom was a math whiz who failed most English tests. They often sighed about their weak subjects until one Monday morning, Lily suggested, “Why don’t we study together I’ll teach you English, and you can help me with math.” Tom agreed happily.
After that, they spent their lunch breaks and weekends studying in the classroom. Lily made fun English flashcards for Tom, helping him remember new words and grammar rules. Tom, in turn, drew clear diagrams to explain tricky math problems and created simple practice exercises for Lily. Whenever Lily got stuck on equations, Tom patiently repeated the steps. When Tom mixed up tenses, Lily told him interesting stories to make grammar memorable.
At the end of the term, amazing changes happened. Lily’s math score jumped from 62 to 88, and Tom’s English grade rose from 55 to 82. They both felt proud and happy. Their teacher praised them in front of the whole class, saying, “True friendship is about lifting each other up.”

Our Baseball Team’s Glory
Our school baseball team was never the favorite to win the city championship. We were a group of ordinary boys with big dreams, but we lacked professional training and advanced equipment. At the start of the season, we lost our first three games badly. The players were discouraged, and some even wanted to quit.
Our coach, Mr. Chen, gathered us together and said, “Failure is not the end. It’s a chance to learn and get stronger.” His words cheered us up. We practiced harder than ever—running drills at dawn, practicing batting after school, and discussing strategies every weekend. We learned to trust each other: the pitcher threw accurate balls, the fielders caught every possible fly ball, and the batters hit with all their strength.
In the final game, we faced the defending champions. The score was tied in the last inning. With two outs, our captain hit a home run that won us the game! We jumped and hugged each other, tears of joy in our eyes. This victory taught us that teamwork and perseverance can turn failure into glory.

A Team of Lifesavers
Last summer, a sudden car accident sent three injured people to our city hospital. The emergency room was immediately in a chaotic but orderly state—doctors, nurses and paramedics worked together seamlessly to save the patients’ lives.
Dr. Li, the chief surgeon, quickly assessed the most seriously injured patient and made a treatment plan. Nurse Wang prepared the operating room in 10 minutes, checking every tool carefully. Paramedic Zhang stayed by another patient’s side, monitoring his heartbeat and comforting him softly. Even the hospital volunteers helped transport medical supplies and guide the worried family members. No one complained about the extra work; everyone focused on one goal: saving lives.
After five hours of non-stop effort, all three patients were out of danger. When the medical team finally took a break, they smiled at each other tiredly. Dr. Li said, “A single person can’t save a life. It’s the teamwork that makes the difference.” This experience showed that in the medical field, every role is important, and only by cooperating can medical workers achieve the best results.

The Bridge-Building Challenge
Last month, our school held a team-building competition. The task was to build a paper bridge that could hold five heavy books, using only paper and tape. My team had four members, each with different strengths: Xiao Yu was good at designing, Li Tao was skilled at cutting paper precisely, I was in charge of gluing and fixing parts, and Han Mei was great at testing the structure’s stability.
At first, we argued a lot. Xiao Yu’s design was too complex to make, while Li Tao wanted a simple structure that might not be strong enough. We wasted an hour arguing instead of working. Then, we realized that fighting wouldn’t help. We sat down, listened to each other’s ideas, and combined Xiao Yu’s creative design with Li Tao’s practical suggestions. I adjusted the gluing positions to make the bridge firmer, and Han Mei tested every part repeatedly to find weak spots.
In the end, our paper bridge held eight books—more than any other team’s! We won first prize. We all cheered and hugged each other. This competition taught us a valuable lesson: no one can succeed alone. Only through teamwork and listening to others can we achieve great things.

D篇
1.答案：They could only use paper and tape.
解析：根据文章第一段第二句 “The task was to build a paper bridge that could hold five heavy books, using only paper and tape” 可知，比赛要求搭建纸桥的材料仅限纸张和胶带，因此直接提取这两个材料即可得出答案。
2.答案：They sat down, listened to each other’s ideas, combined Xiao Yu’s creative design with Li Tao’s practical suggestions, adjusted the gluing positions to make the bridge firmer and tested every part repeatedly to find weak spots.
解析：文章第二段详细描述了团队停止争吵后的行动：先是坐下来倾听彼此的想法，将肖宇富有创意的设计和李涛实用的建议结合起来；接着 “我” 调整了粘贴位置来加固桥身；最后韩梅反复测试每个部件，找出薄弱之处。整合这些细节就是本题的完整答案。
3.答案：They learned that no one can succeed alone. Only through teamwork and listening to others can we achieve great things.
