Search to find truth马航飞机失联，“黑匣子”成解谜关键。

ON March 8, a Boeing 777 from Malaysia to Beijingdisappeared. It has become perhaps the biggest mysteryin modern aviation (航空) history.The Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 lost contact shortlyafter taking off. It carried 239 people on board, including154 Chinese.Where did the plane go? More than 25 countries have joined the effort to look for it.On March 24, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razaksaid that the plane “ended in the southern Indian Ocean”. Everyone on the plane died.But the mystery is still not solved.Normally, a plane is believed to have crashed after debris (残骸) is found. But when Razak made theannouncement, no debris had been found. The conclusion was based on analysis of satellite data (卫星数据).To find out what happened to the flight, we must find one small object: the black box.It is a recording device kept in a plane. It records the flight data and conversations in the cockpit (驾驶舱).The black box has an underwater beacon (信标) which sends signals for 30 days after falling into water. The signals can be detected up to around 3 km away.While the search for the plane is going on, countries with black box detecting equipment, including the US, the UK and Australia, are joining forces.It’s a race against time. The battery is running low.But nobody is giving up. China has said it will work hard to find out the truth at all costs.Just as Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said: “If this mystery is solvable, we will solve it.”Black box factsThe term “black box” was first used by the British Royal Air Force.A black box is not black, but orange. The word “black” here refers to the box’s inside, which is dark and filled with information.Crew of Xue Long, an ice breaker of China, are looking for the plane in Indian Ocean.XINHUAEarth faces huge danger全球变暖带来八大危机。

Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.What to doIn the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They can’t go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “light out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.What to wearNearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict._______________In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad (沙拉), other side dishes and a dessert. Students can also make themselves something to eat at any time in a kitchen, or drink tea or have a snack between meals.初中英语阅读材料【2】A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin (顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…” He hesitated (犹豫).Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”“Oh yes,I’d love that.”After a short ride, the boy turned around with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled (残疾的) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed elder brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.初中英语阅读材料【3】When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course,”they answered.“How do you know ?”was my logical question. They responded that their mons cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned .So mon’s cooking and criticzing read out as “I love you ”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you ’to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love.I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged(拥抱)her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone I have more time to myself.I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”In my family we all say “I love you” a lot .While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning ,even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.初中英语阅读材料【4】Green Farm offers an ideal (理想的) country setting that you and your family can enjoy.

Do you know when basketball was invented?If you travel around China you will notice a very popular activity everywhere you go--basketball. This much-loved and active sport is enjoyed by many, for fun and exercise.The sport of basketball is a little over a hundred years old. It is played by more than 100 million people in over 200 countries includingChina ,where basketball has been play in parks, schools, and even in factories.Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who was born in 1861. When he was at college, his class was once asked to invent a new game that could be played indoors during the long winters. Dr Naismith created a game to be played on a hard wooden floor, so the safety of the players was important. Knocking into players and falling down would be dangerous.Dr Naismith divided the men in his class into two teams and taught them how to play his new game. The aim of basketball is for players to get a ball into the "basket";a net hanging from a metal hoop. Players shoot from below the basket and may use the "backboard" for guiding the ball into the basket. Players move towards one end of the court while throwing the ball to each other.It is believed that on December 21st, 1891, the first basketball game in history was played. Then in 1936 in Berlin, it became an Olympic event.A team from China took part, and although they didn't win. they used the experience to help develop the game at home. Since then, the popularity of basketball has risen worldwide, and the number of foreign players in America's NBA (National Basketball Association) has increased. Basketball has also become a more popular sport for people to watch, and many young people dream of becoming famous basketball players.你知道篮球是什么时候发明的？如果你去中国旅行，你会发现一个非常受欢迎的活动，到处是——篮球。

He used to cause a lot of troubleMartin Murray is a fifteen-year-old boy. His father died a few years ago. In order to pay for her child’s education, his mother had to work hard and so she was often not at home.Martin was not interested in studying and he often got into trouble with the police. Luckily, his mother was very patient and didn’t give up trying to help him. In the end, she made a difficult decision: to send him to a boy’s boarding school. Martin hated the boarding school and used to cause a lot of trouble. One day he told his teacher he wanted to leave the school. Even the teacher agreed that Martin was wasting his time.The head teacher said it was necessary for Martin to talk with his mother. Martin called his mother, but to his surprise, the phone call changed his life. "It was exactly what I needed," he said. "My mother helped me to understand how much she had given me. She also told me that even though my father was no longer with us, he was watching me and would always take pride in everything I did. That’s when I decided to change. I realized that since my father died, I had been afraid of being alone, and had been trying to make my mother pay more attention to me."Now Martin has really changed. He has been working hard a nd is now one of the best students in his class. How was he able to change? His mother’s love helped him to feel good about himself, and as Martin himself said, "It’s very important for parents to be there for their children."他过去引起许多麻烦李柱铭是一个十五岁的男孩。

How do we deal with our problems?Rich or poor, young or old, we all have problems. And unless we deal with our problems, we easily become unhappy. Worrying about our problems can affect how we do at school. It can also influence the way we behave with our families. So how do we deal with our problems? There are many ways.By learning to forgetMost of us have probably been angry with our friends, parents or teachers. Perhaps they said something you didn't like, or you felt unfair. Sometimes, people can stay angry for years about a small problem. Time goes by, and good friendships may be lost.When we are angry, however, we are usually the ones affected. Perhaps we have seen young children playing together. Sometimes they have disagreements, and decide not to talk to each other. However, this usually does not last for long. This is an important lesson for us: we can solve a problem by learning to forget.By regarding problems as challengesMany students often complain about school. They might feel they have too much work to do sometimes, or think the rules are too strict. We must learn how to change these "problems" into "challenges". Education is an important part of our development. As young adults, it is our duty to try our best to deal with each challenge in our education with the help of our teachers.By thinking of something worse.By comparing yourself to other people, you will find your problems are not so terrible. Think about Stephen Hawking, for example, a very clever scientist, who regards his many physical problems as unimportant. He can't walk or even speak, but he has become very famous and successful. We are probably quite healthy and smart. Let's not worry about problems. Let's face the challenges instead.我们如何处理我们的问题？富有或贫穷，年轻或年老，我们都有问题。

Could you please lend me your pen?Asking for information or help is a very common and necessary activity,especially when we visit a aforeign country.So knowing how to ask for information politely is important . In English ,”Where are the restrooms?”and “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are ?”are similar requests-both are correct English ,but the first could sound rude .It’s important to use correct language,but sometimes this alone is not enough –we need to learn how to be polite when we make requests.In English ,just like in Chinese ,we change the way we speak when talking with different peple.the expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them.if you say to your teacher ,”Where is my book?”this will sound rude.But if you say ,”Excuse me ,Mr west . Do you know where my book is ?”your question will sound much more polite .On the other hand,it might be alright to say :”Where is my book?”in some situations. Perhaps with people you know well.And you would not usually say:”Peter ,lend me your pen.”A very direct order like this can sound rude in English .Usually in English polite questions are longer and include extra languages such as “Could you please ….?”or”Can I ask….?”It sounds more polite to say ,”Peter ,could you please lend me your pen?”Sometimes we might even need to spend some time leading in to a aquestion or request.For example ,if you stop a stranger in a street ,we might first say.”Excuse me . I wonder if you can help me ” or “I’m sorry to trouble you but,”before asking them for help.It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct,and in a way this may be true.However ,in order not to offend people,learning about language etiquette is just as important as learning grammar or vocabulary.And doing this will also help you become better at English ,or any other language you wish to speak.借一下你的钢笔好吗？询问信息或帮助是非常常见的和必要的活动，特别是当我们在国外国家.所以知道如何礼貌地询问是很重要的。

Maybe some visitors would be surprised when they first came to India. When talking to an Indian, he would often shake his head. The visitors might think that the Indian did not like what they said. But, in fact, they would be completely wrong.Indians always shake their heads when they talk to each other.It does not have th e same meaning as “No”. If someone wants to visit India, he should know this, or it will give him some trouble.One day, a foreign officer went to India on business. He hired a car and an Indian to drive it. When he told his driver to send him to his office, the Indian shook his head at once. The officer said again, and the driver shook his head again. At last, the officer, of course, got angry.“How dare you refuse my order?” he shouted. “Drive me to my office at once!”The driver answered in quite l oud voice, too. “Yes, sir!” But to the officer’s surprise, the driver shook his head at the same time.The car started, and the foreign officer was now too surprised to say a word. He thought about it for a while, and then he nodded with a smile, “‘No’ means ‘Yes’ here!”。

They said it should be something suitable to youth---something didactic(教诲的), instructive (教育性的), or something in the nature of good advice. Very well！I have a few things in my mind which I have often longed t o say for the instruction of the young; for it is in one's tender early years that such things will best take root and be most enduring and most valuable. First, then, I will say to you my young frie nds -- and I say it beseechingly(恳求的), and urgingly.Always obey your parents, when they are present. This is the best policy in the long run, because if you don't, they will make you. Mos t parents think they know better than you do, and you can generally make more by humoring that superstition(迷信) than you can by acting on your own better judgment.B e respectful to your superiors, if you have any, also to strangers, and sometimes to others. If a person offend you, and you are in doubt as to whether it was intentional or not, do not resort to extreme measures; simply watch your chance and hit him with a brick. That will be sufficient. If you shall find that he had not intended any offense, come out frankly and confess yourself in the wrong when you struck him; acknowl edge it like a man and say you didn't mean to. Yes, always avoid violence; in this age of charity and kindliness, the time has gone by for such things. Leave dynamite（炸药）to the low and unrefined.Go to bed early, get up early- this is wise. Some authorities say get up with the sun; some say get up with one thing, others with another. But a lark(百灵鸟）is really the best thing to get up with. It gives you a splendid reputation with e verybody to know that you get up with the lark; and if you get the right kind of lark, and work at him right, you can easily train him to get up at half past nine, every time -- it's no trick at all.1。

However, turkey is not the easiest thing to cook. It takes a lot of time to prepare and a lot of work to cook. and there are a lot of chances for things to go wrong.My mum and dad bought a nice, big turkey a few days before Thanksgiving. My mum was proud of herself as she got it for a good price. The night before Thanksgiving, Mum got the turkey out of the fridge. Early the next morning, my sister and I helped her put some butter and salt on the turkey, and then Mum put it in the oven. It looked like it would be delicious. My sister and I were excited.But soon, we noticed something was wrong. The oven was not heating up. Dad checked it closely. Then he said in a low voice. “ It'sbroken!”Mum’s heart nearly stopped. She didn't want her dinner to be a failure. We didn't know what to do. How were we going to feed everyone without the turkey? Mum looked worried.Finally, Dad had an idea, and we all agreed with his suggestion to order pizza instead. After all, Thanksgiving is about giving thanks and spending time with your family. If we did not have turkey, it was different but there was nothing awful about it.That evening, we shared a delicious pizza .We had a great time, talking, eating and playing games, Thanksgiving without turkey can still be fun!(选自北师大版八年级下册)2 I love autumn!Hello Jenny,I love fall!

Jim Barnes, 15, from Oxford talks about what his family does every day to save the planet.A common UK family produces more than one ton of rubbish a year. Some of this waste takes hundreds of years to decay. It also costs lots of money to keep buying new things to replace the things we throw away. So to help save the planet and save money, our family has decided torecycle everything. We collect used things, such as paper and bottles, and put them into different bins. After they are treated in the recycling place they can be used again. This will help reduce a lot of waste. Were also going to grow our own vegetables and we already keep hens. Soon, we can eat our own eggs for breakfast.In a year, a family like ours uses about 4,800 kwh for watching television, taking showers, using the dishwasher and the washing machine, and more. This is a lot. To produce this much energy, a lot of pollution is created. This pollution can cause health problems and global warming.Because of all this, we decided to do something to save electricity. We watch less TV and use low energy light bulbs now. We stopped using the dishwasher. Mum also tries to save energy while cooking.What's more, we try to use our car less to cut down on air pollution.

They found that classrooms were quieter when children took off their shoes. It provided a quieter environment where pupils were more willing to focus on study than those with shoes on.Children are much more willing to sit on the floor and relax if they have no shoes on, "said Professor Stephen. Heppel, a lead researcher.The last place a child would sit to read is an upright chair. And we've found that 95%o of them really don't read on a chair at home, " Heppel added.
