job is to teach their children the basic skills and give them the knowledge they need to be successful in life. this ,to me, requires teamwork. for example, the mother teaches her children manners and good health skills, while the father teaches them how to catch a ball or drive a car. however, in todays society , we find that more and more parents are feeling that this teamwork is a one-sided thing. according to a report, there are about 13.7million single parents raising their children in the usa and this could be due to the fact that parents dont take responsibility for their children ,so they leave one parent to do it alone. this is a sad fact ,and it reflects that effective team-work islosing ground in the parenting aspect of our everyday lives.another place where teamwork affects us greatly is in our jobs .it doesnt matter if you are in a small or large company; if you have ate noticed that with the current least one employee and yourself, then teamwork works. i have noticed that with the current economic recession(经济衰退)，people are racing to find jobs but the quality of peoples work has gone down greatly. it just appears to me that people dont take pride in their work anymore. they get to work as fast as they can, just to receive the paycheck, but their quality standardsfly right out of the window. so i think teamwork is losing its ground in the workforce.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分50分）第一节：完成句子（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列各小题，根据汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子）71.despite jills disability. she is trying to_.we should learn from her
