questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.
What makes a group intelligent? You might think a group's IQ would t esimply the aveiage intelligence of the group's members, or perhaps the intelligence of the team's smartest participant, But researchers who study groups have found that this isn't so.
Rather, a group's intelligence emerges the interactions that go on Within the group. A teams intelligence can be measured, and like an individual's IQ scere, it can accurately predict the team's performance on a Wide variety of tasks. And just as an individual's intelligence is expandable, a group's intelligence can alsobe increased. Here are five suggestions on how to guide the developttment of smart teams:
Chose team members carefully, The smartest groups are composed of people who are good at reading one another's social cues, according to a study led by Carnegie Mellon University professor Anita Williams Woolley and published in the journal Science.
Talk about the “how”. Many members of teams don't like to spend time talking about “process”, preferring to get right down to work--but Woolley notes that groups who take the time to discuss how they Will Work together aice ultimately more efficient and effective.
share the floor: In the most intelligent teams, found  Woolley, members take turns speaking Participants who dominate the discussion or who hang back and don't say much bring down, the

Is College a Worthy Investment?
A．Why are we spending so much money on college? Andwhy are we so unhappy about it? We all seem to  agree that a college education is wonderful, and yet strangely we worry when we see families investing   so much in this supposedly essential good. Maybe it's time to ask a question that seems almost sacrilegious (大不敬) : is all this investment in college education really worth it?
B． The answer. I fear, is no. For an increasing number of kids, the extra time and money spent pursuing a college diploma will leave them worse off than they were before they set foot on campus.
C．For my entire adult life, a good education has been the most important thing for middle-class households. My parents spent more educating my sister and me than they spent on their house, and  they're not the only ones.., and, of course, for an increasing number of families, most of the cost of  their house is actually the cost of living in a good school district. Questioning the value of a college    education seems a bit like questioning the value of happiness, or tim.
D．The average price of all goods and services has risen about 50 percent. But the price of a college    education has nearly doubled in that time. Is the education that today's students are getting twice as  good? Are new workers twice as smart? Have they become somehow massively more expensive to educate?
E ．Perhaps a bit. Richard Vedder, an Ohio University economics professor, says, "I look at the data, and   I see college costs rising faster than inflation up to the mid-1980s by 1 percent a year. Now I see them  rising 3to 4 percent a year over inflation. What has happened? The federal government has started  dropping money out of airplanes. " Aid has increased, subsidized (補貼的) loans have become    available, and "the universities have gotten the money. " Economist Bryan Caplan, who is writing a  book about education, agrees: "It's a giant waste of resources that will continue as long as the    subsidies continue. "
F．Promotional literature for colleges and student loans often speaks of debt as an "investment in   yourself. " But an investment is supposed to generate income to pay off the loans. More than haft of all recent graduates are tmemployed or in jobs that do not require a degree, and the amount of student- loan debt carried by households has increased more than five times since 1999. These graduates were    told that a diploma was all they needed to succeed, but it won't even get them out of the spare  bedroom at Mom and Dad's. For many, the most visible result of their four years is the loan payments, which now average hundreds of dollars a month on loan balances in the tens of thousands.
G．It's true about the money--sort of. College graduates now make 80 percent more than people who have only a high-school diploma, and though there are no precise estimates, the wage premium (高出的部分) for an outstanding school seems to be even higher. But that's not true of every student. It's very  easy to spend four years majoring in English literature and come out no more employable than you    were before you went in. Conversely, chemical engineers straight out of school can easily make almost four times the wages of an entry-level high-sch0ol graduate.
H． James Heckman, the Nobel Prize-winning economist, has examined how the returns on education  break down for individuals with different backgrounds and levels of ability. "Even with these high  prices, you're still finding a high return for individuals who are bright and motivated," he says. On the  other hand, "if you're not college ready, then the answer is no, it's not worth it. " Experts tend to    agree that for the average student, college is still worth it today, but they also agree that the rapid  increase in price is eating up more and more of the potential return. For borderline students,  tuition ( 學費) rise can push those returns into negative territory.
I． Everyone seems to agree that the government, and parents, should be rethinking how we invest in  higher education-and that employers need to rethink the increasing use of college degrees as crude screening tools for jobs that don't really require college skills, "Employers seeing a surplus of college  graduates and looking to fill jobs are just adding that requirement," says Vedder. "In fact, a college    degree becomes a job requirement for becoming a bar-tender. "
J． We have started to see some change on the fmance side. A law passed in 2007 allows many students to  cap their loan payment at 10 percent of their income and forgives any balance after 25 years. Bnt of course, that doesn't control the cost of education; it just shifts it to taxpayers. It also encourages  gradimtes to choose lower-paying careers, which reduces the financial return to education still further. "You're subsidizing people to become priests and poets and so forth," says Heckman. "You may think that's a good thing, or you may not. " Either way it will be expensive for the government.
K． What might be a lot cheaper is putting more kids to work. Caplan notes that work also btfilds valuable skills--probably more valuable for kids who don't naturally love sitting in a classroom. Heckman agrees wholeheartedly:" People are different, and those abilities can be shaped. That's what we've learned, and public policy should recognize that. "
L． Heckman would like to see more apprenticeship-style (學徒式) programs, where kids can learn in the  workplace  learn not just specific job skills, but the kind of "soft skills," like getting to work on time  and getting along with a team, that are crucial for career success, "It's about having mentors (指導者) and having workplace-based education," he says. "Time  and again I've seen examples of this kind of program working. "
M． Ah, but how do we get there from here? With better public policy, hopefully, but also by making  better individual decisions. "Historically markets have been able to handle these things," says Vedder, "and I think eventually markets will handle this one. ff it doesn't improve soon, people are going to wake up and ask, 'Why am I going to college?'"

Caplan suggests that kids who don't love school go to work,

         New research shows girls who regularly have family meals are much less 36 to adopt all kinds of extreme weight control 37 , such as vomiting(催吐), using laxatives (瀉藥) or diet pills.
        A study surveying more than 2,500 American high school students found that gifts who ate five or more family meals a week had a much healthier relationship with food in later life.

    They say that sticks and stones may break your bones，but words will never hurt you．Yet childhood bullying really can damage your long-term health．
    Gone are the days when bullying was considered an inevitable and ultimately harmless part of growing up—iust last month we learned that childhood bullying can lead to poorer mental health even into middle age．
    Now William Copeland at Duke University in Durham，North Carolina，and his colleagues have shown that it can have lingering physiological effects too．They tracked 1420 9-year-olds right through their teens．Each child was seen up to nine times during the study and quizzed about bullying．The team then measured levels of C-reactive protein in their blood．CRP is a marker of inflammation(炎癥)linked to higher risk of cardiovascular disease (心血管疾病)and problems like diabetes．
    “Because we were collecting biological samples throughout，we were able to look at CRP levels in subjects prior to their bullying involvement．”says Copeland．“This really gives us an idea of the changes bullying brings about．”
    Although CRP levels naturally rise in everyone during adolescence，levels were highest in children who reported being tormented by bullies．Even at the ages of 1 9 and 2 1，children who had once been bullied had CRP levels about 1．4 times higher than peers who were neither perpetrators nor victims．In a cruel twist，the bullies had the lowest levels of all．suggesting they didn’t suffer the same health risks． They may even see a benefit from their behavior,though Copeland stresses it doesn’t vindicate(辯護)their actions．“The goal would instead be to find other ways to produce this protective effect without it being at someone else’s expense，”he says．
    Andrea Danese at King’s College London has previously shown that maltreatment during childhood can lead to higll levels of inflammation in adult life．“This new study is a helpful addition in showing that these effects extend to another important childhood stressor,”he says．He suggests that care workers could monitor levels of CRP in children having psychotherapy to see if it is helping to soothe the stress of being bullied．

What do you know about CRP?
A．It is a symbol of the inflammation．
B．It is a symbol of cardiovascular．
C．It relates directly to diabetes．
D．It is a symbol of physiological effects caused by bullying．
