问题    • Read the following a~icle about team work and answer the questions on the opposite page．
   • For each question 15-20，mark one letter(A，B，C or D)on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose．
                                     Is your group really a team?
      Teams are all the rage in the workplace today，and every organization speaks of the importance of teams．But just because a group of people work together does not necessarily make them a team．There are essential elements that identify teams，and nurturing them will help you become a good team leader．
     Let’s begin with a definition of what a team really is．Teams are groups of individuals who accomplish designated objectives by working interdependenlIy，communicating effectively，and making decisions that impact their day to day work．So the first question to ask yourself is，‘How close does my team come to this definton?’If it doesn’t measure up to the definition，then you are not really leading a team．You are probably managing a work group．There is absolutely nothing wrong with a work group．A work group can achieve great results with your close supemision．The idea，however，in today’s changing organization and our competitive global marketplace，is to develop teams that can work autonomously without your close direction and support．
      In a team．members share decision-making and often build consensus，with two-way communication between manager and members．There are joint work assignments and accountability on both the individual and team levels．In a work group，the manager is the decision-maker，and there is a one-way，top-down pattern of communication。Each member has individual work assignments，and each person is held accountable and appraised by the manager.
      Whether you operate as a work group or a team depends on three factors．Firstly，the skill and motivational level of members．Skilled and motivated employees need to be able to make decisions on their own and communicate upwardly when they need to．This is a model for working as a team．Secondly，the nature of the work．Some work situations do not call for members to make decisions together，nor is there a need for much two way communication among team members and their manager．But if there is a need for both，you have a team．Thirdly，the manager’s belief that indMduals can work autonomously and interdependently．This attitude is essential for today’s workplace。When managers do not hold this belief，they will favor the work group over the team．
      To get a group of individuals to function as a team，it is necessary to highlight the following issues．As for team members．everyone of them needs to know what he or she is supposed to accomplish and how it fits in with what other team members do.And they must be allowed to make decisions that impact their work products and semices．When we give people ownership over what they are doing，they perform much better．Last but not least．team members cannot hold back on any comments that will help the team grow and prosper．As for the team leader，he or she should have the technical knowledge of what the team is doing，as well as be able to motivate and inspire the team．A qualified leader should always be ready to acknowledge team members’accomplishment．Members need ongoing reminders that their efforts are valued and appreciated so that they can sustain high levels of performance．   
    Different from a work group．
选项 A、a team includes a large group of people working together．
B、members of a team are skilled employees．
C、the Ieader of a team believes in team work．
D、team members don’t communicate with the leader．
答案C
解析 本题相关内容在第四段。选项A、B可以首先被排除，因为它们可以是group和team的共同特点，而D则与team的主要特征相矛盾，因此也被排除。选项C其实是本段最后三句话的另外一种表述方式。那里明确指出经理们应该相信每个成员都能够主动而且合作性地工作，如果他们没有这样的信念，他们肯定会选择group而不是team。换言之，作为team leader，他肯定是相信团队合作精神的，这与C的含义“team leader崇尚团队合作精神”是一致的，因此本题答案是c。
