It is this goal that enables them to form a team and succeed eventually.Harry, Hermione and Ron, the three intimate partners in J.K Rowlings
5、 world-famous novel, Harry Potter, accompany the growth of many of my contemporaries. Although each character has distinct characteristics, they cooperate well to consummate every goal. Harry is an innocent boy who always treats everyone sincerely. Besides, his bravery and determination in some crit

10、e gold medal. The USA did rebound to capture the bronze medal by defeating Lithuania. Still, it marked only the third time that an American team failed to win gold, and the first time for an American team composed of professionals. Before 2004, American teams had only lost two games in all previous
11、Olympic tournaments, whereas in this one the American team lost three. The team was coached by Larry Brown, and its members included Tim Duncan, Allen Iverson, Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James. In each game, these super stars seemed to play individually, but not collectively. All of them wanted to s

Consequently, it defeated Argentina in semifinal and Spain in final to capture the Olympic gold medal. The world we live in is an indi
14、visible entirety. Nations have to trade with each other to thrive. The most important international relationship today, according to some scholars, is the one between the United States of America and China. As we know, the US is a well-developed country and China is a fast-developing country, but ei
15、ther country has its own problems. Some labor-intensive industries in the US need cheap labor force while many Chinese need job offers. Thus American factories build their branches in China to attract more workers; meanwhile a lot of Chinese workers get their jobs. This solution provides a “win-win”
16、 situation; both countries gain their profit.Ants are one of the creatures. A single ant is very tiny and can be easily killed by human fingers. However, ants are gregarious species and are always working together. For example, when their nests are in danger such as conflagrations, floods, and so on
17、, they will help each other to survive and try their best to move their food. Mostly, a single piece of food is 10 or more times than an ants body weight. But if four or more ants carry four corners of the little piece of food, they can move it easily. From the story of cooperation of ants we can fi
18、nd that team spirit is very important especially when we are in danger.The movie Scent of a Woman is actually about a moving story between two men, about cooperation. Charlie Simms is a student at an exclusive New England preparatory school. Unlike most of his peers, Charlie does not have a wealthy
19、family. To pay for a flight home for Christmas, Charlie accepts a temporary job over Thanksgiving Weekend looking after retired Colonel Frank Slade, who is disagreeable, blind and an alcoholic. Frank was tired of his life and decided to put an end to it after having a first class travel to New York
20、City. He was once an honorable soldier, but now he felt losing himself totally. Charlie told Slade had his own complications at school; he had witnessed his schoolmates insulted their headmaster, and were forced to tell their names, at the risk of losing the opportunity to be recommended to Harvard
21、University. He was at a dilemma; however, he made up his mind not to betray his schoolmates. Both men came to their crossroads in lives, and did not know which path to take. Charlie found Franks intention to commit suicide and he struggled to stop it. He convinced Frank that his life was not at all
22、rotten as he supposed to be. On the contrary, life is a tango; if one lost ones step, he/she needed to take a break and then tango on. And Frank also helped Charlie in making a speech in front of the student body and the student/faculty disciplinary committee. His inspiring speech excused Charlie fr
23、om any punishment, and gained applauses from the whole audience. Through their successful cooperation, both men got on their ways and embraced their promising new lives.At the 83rd Academy Awards, the movie The Kings Speech received 12 Oscar nominations and won four of them. It is considered to be t
24、he most fortunate winner. The story begins with the oppressive experience of stammer of Prince Albert, Duke of York, who subsequently becomes King George IV. During his prolonged days of curing his malady, he suffers a lot and none of the so-called experienced doctors could provide a practical treat
25、ment. While he is dismayed, his wife persuades him to see Lionel Logue, a civilian, followed by a fantastic miracle. In spite of his inconspicuousness, Logue comes up with many stunning cures. However, they quarrel and at one time even become irreconcilable, but to everyones delight, they finally co
26、operate well and King George IV gradually gets over his stammer and makes a famous, encouraging speech. Obviously, both Logues help and his own persistence are necessary in the Kings success.The Nobel Prize is one of the most honorary prizes all over the world, as an example of cooperation. At the f
27、irst beginning 5 years of that honor, only one teamwork group shared the prize in 1903 in physics, based on their cooperation. However, things come to be different, keeping pace with our societys developing. During last 5 years Nobel prizes, 12 of the awarded prizes are shared by group-work scientis
28、ts. Work today, including science, and industry, has become increasingly intractable. Scientist cannot solve a problem only depending on his or her own knowledge. The time is asking for the cooperation not only among countries but also among persons, not only in politic but also on schoolwork. The t
29、wo-man teams power is always stronger than two mens power. We hold this truth to be self-evident, that human should face troubles together and unite as a giant team, rather than fight against fate alone. Solving problem together has become a main driving force behind the social progress.InnovationCh
30、arles Darwin is considered to be one the most brilliant scientists of all time, for his great work, The Origin of Species, though referred to as a bombshell in its day, is one of the most significant scientific achievements. This British biologist, who was once a devout Christian, claimed that all s
31、pecies evolved from the same ancestor and human beings were no exception. It was impossible, in those days, for the Church and even the ordinary to imagine that their ancestors, before a great period of time, evolved from monkeys. However, it was Charles Darwin that best demonstrated the idea that “
32、There is no common sense in science.“ No until today has his theory been widely accepted. During him hard times, he must have faced infinite stumbling blocks, including criticism and even persecution. As the great poet Dante once said, Follow your own path and let people talk, Darwin kept sense of i
33、nnovation and persistence in his mind and got over all the troubles and eventually made his work a great success.Nicolaus Copernicus was the first astronomer to formulate a comprehensive heliocentric cosmology, which displaced the Earth from the center of the universe. His epochal book, On the Revol
34、utions of the Celestial Spheres, published in 1543 just before his death, is often regarded as the starting point of modern astronomy. His heliocentric model, with the Sun at the center of the universe, demonstrated that the observed motions of celestial objects can be explained without putting Eart
35、h at rest in the center of the universe. His work stimulated further scientific investigations, becoming a landmark in the history of science that is often referred to as the Copernican Revolution. Because Copernicus heliocentric theory of the planets defied 1,500 years of tradition, some historians
36、 mark the publication date of On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres as the beginning of the “scientific revolution.“John Nash is a U.S. mathematician. He earned a doctorate from Princeton University at 22. Beginning in the 1950s with his influential thesis “Non-cooperative Games,“ Nash establi
37、shed the mathematical principles of game theory. His theory, known as the Nash solution or Nash equilibrium, attempted to explain the dynamics of threat and action among competitors. Despite its practical limitations, it was widely applied by business strategists. He won the 1994 Nobel Prize in Econ
38、omics. A film version of his life, A Beautiful Mind, won an Academy Award for best picture.Gregor Mendels experimental work became the basis of modern hereditary theory. Between 1856 and 1863 he cultivated and tested at least 28,000 pea plants, carefully analyzing seven pairs of seed and plant chara
39、cteristics. His tedious experiments resulted in later achievement known as the laws of heredity. Mendel published his important work on heredity in 1866. Despite, or perhaps because of, its descriptions of large numbers of experimental plants, which allowed him to express his results numerically and
40、 subject them to statistical analysis, this work made virtually no impression for the next 34 years. Only in 1900 was his work recognized more or less independently by three investigators, one of whom was the Dutch botanist Hugo Marie de Vries, and not until the late 1920s and the early 30s was its
41、full significance realized, particularly in relation to evolutionary theory. As a result of years of research in population genetics, investigators were able to demonstrate that Darwinian evolution can be described in terms of the change in gene frequency of Mendelian pairs of characteristics in a p
42、opulation over successive generations.Brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright built and flew the first airplane in human history. The brothers were engineers and founded the Wright Cycle Company in Dayton, Ohio in 1892. While the bicycle business sustained them, they began to experiment with kites, glide
43、rs and other flying machines, always with an eye to creating a powered machine that could carry a man aloft. Their first successful flight, with Orville at the controls, took place at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on 17 December 1903. The plane covered 120 feet in about 12 seconds; a short flight, but
44、enough to make history. Others had flown in balloons and gliders, but the Wrights creation was the first in a manned, motor-powered and heavier-than-air craft.Galileo, a great Italian scientist, was a good representation in innovation. He was one of the most famous physicists in the history and help
45、ed unlock many secrets of astronomy and natural motion. The most famous experiment of him was that he showed the public that the velocities of falling bodies are not proportional to their weights. This point of view was against the conclusion which Aristotle put forward. To verify his point, Galileo
46、 set a living experiment at the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He prepared two balls a hard, smooth, and round wooden ball and a hard, smooth, and round bronze ball - which had the same volume but different weights and dropped them down at the same time. Like what he says previously, these two ba
47、lls fell down to the land almost at the same time. His bravery and wisdom made him world-famous. However, what finally built him is his never-stopping innovation.Galileo opposed Aristotles theory on the motion rule when he occasionally observed the swing of the big Pendulum in the Pisa Cathedral. He
48、 argued that it is the length of the rope, not the weight of the hanger that decided the moving period of a Pendulum. It is such a heretical opinion that few people accepted it. Most people chose to believe in the Great Greek scientist but not a once medical student. Whereas, Galileo Hypothesis was
49、later proved correct and became the basis of Newtons first law of motion.When Galileo studied Copernicuss Heliocentric thoroughly, he began to explain his doubts on the famous Geocentric theory. He used the telescope and found four satellites of Jupiter, which provided solid evidence for Copernicuss theory. He was so outspoken and persuasive that the Vatican warned him not to say so. However, as a scientist who held the faith of truth, Galileo published the book Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems in which he defended Copernicuss theory. Anger
