That is the name of a very popular song about winter. Richard Smith and Felix Bernard wrote the song in 1934.But winter is not always such a beautiful and happy time. It is cold outside. The wind blows and makes it even colder. The days are shorter and darker. The sun rarely shines. The leaves on the trees are brown or have fallen to the ground. The flowers are mostly gone. It is not surprising that some people are sad in winter. And some people dream about being somewhere else where it is warm and pretty—like the state of California. The Mamas and the Papas recorded their famous song “California Dreaming” in 1965.During the 1960s, many other famous rock groups sang songs about winter. Here is a song by Simon and Garfunkel called “A Hazy Shade of Winter”. They sing about life and hope.In 1968, the group Blood, Sweat and Tears recorded this gentle, sad song about winter. They sing about a lost love and forgotten memories in “Sometimes in Winter”.Gordon Lightfoot wrote and recorded another sad and lovely song about winter in 1975. Sarah Mclachlan recorded “Song for a Winter’s Night” for an album in 2006.

There are 100,000 different cards in Japan alone, and there you can put your own design onto a blank card simply by using a photograph or a business card.The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian.

People usually start collecting cards because they are small and light and you do not need much space for them. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can only buy telephone cards, and some French cards cost up to £ 4,000. The first Japanese card has a value of about £ 28,000.

Slowly, he could take his first look at the world outside. To his surprise, he could see nothing but a blank wall of another building.The nurse explained that Dale had been blind.

(31)World Sleep Day is held on March 21 every year. The purpose (目的) of World Sleep Day is to celebrate the benefits (好处) of good and healthy sleep.Sleep quality (质量) plays a key role (角色) in people's health. Researchers say that there are a lot of advantages (优势) if we always get enough sleep. We can be smarter, thinner, healthier and more cheerful. Also we're to have better skin, better memories and longer lives. When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it will influence (影响) your performance the next day.In general, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night, but a recent research found that, on weekdays, only 21% of them really get eight hours of sleep, and another 21% get less than six. For teenagers, a healthy amount (数量) is about eight to nine hours per night. However, about 80% of high school students don't get enough sleep because of their schoolwork or some bad habits.27% of people in the world have sleep problems. Now there are over 80 kinds of sleep disorders (障碍), and most people know little about their danger. So, for our good life and work, it's necessary for us to realize the importance of sleep and try to have a good sleep.1.When is World Sleep Day?2.What is the purpose of World Sleep Day?3.What will happen if we sleep one hour less than we should?4.Why don't most high school students have enough sleep?5.Do you have any sleep problems? Why?(32)How to become a radio DJDo you have a great voice? Have you ever thought about becoming a radio DJ? Working as a DJ can be exciting but it also needs experience. If you want to be a DJ, the following are usual ways to start.Intern(实习). It's a bad job. Unluckily, most radio station workers start as an intern. This means working long hours without pay. It will help you do better at the radio station.Events. Because you can't get a DJ job with no experience, you might want to work as a DJ for events. Weddings, parties and special situations all need DJs to provide music and a laugh. This is a great way to learn to work with people and play music.Fill in(临时补缺). If you work at a radio station, you can ask to be put on the "fill in" list for DJs. So if the main DJ gets sick, you can fill in for him or her to get some experience.Late，late night. Usually the first job for a DJ is late shift(晚班). In other words, you may be on air not only from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m., but you will get more experience.1.What do most radio station workers start as?2.Can we get a DJ job without any experience according to the passage?3.What's a great way to learn to work with people and play music?4.When can you fill in for the main DJ to get experience?ually the first job for a DJ is early shift, isn't it?(33)The reality show (真人秀) is a kind of television program. Usually a reality show has any series (集). And it can be on TV for many years.The reality show is quite different other kinds of TV shows.

So many people like to watch reality shows.The first reality show came out in the 1990s in American. At that time, the most famous and popular reality show was Survivor. It was popular not only in American. But also around the world.Reality shows also show different kinds of competitions. For example, there's a Chinese reality show called The Voice of China.

It's always interesting to watch other people show their talents. Talent shows are getting more and more popular. First, there were shows like American Idol and America's Got Talent. Now, there are similar shows around the world, such as China's got Talent.All these shows have one thing in common: they try to look for the best singers, the most talented dancers, the most exciting magicians, the funniest actors and so on. All kinds of people join these shows. But who can play the piano the best or sing the most beautifully? That's up to you to decide. When people watch the show, they usually play a role in deciding the winner. And the winner always gets a very good prize.However, not everybody enjoys watching these shows. Some think that the lives of the performers are made up. For example, some people say they are poor farmers, but in fact they are just actors. However, if you don't take these shows too seriously, they are fun to watch. And one great thing about them is that they give people a way to make their dreams come true.1.What do talent shows have in common?2.Who decides the winner?3.Why do some people not like these shows?4.Why do some people like these shows?5.What do you think of these shows?(35)You may love to see tigers at the zoo.

I suggested that she should start her own bug collection.A few minutes later she came to me and handed me a small piece of paper that was a little dirty. "Can you keep this for me please?" she said. I took the paper, threw it at the corner of the kitchen and forgot about it until I was cleaning up for dinner. I decided to throw it away, Lauren came looking for it."I threw it into the garbage can (垃圾桶)," I told her. She got very angry and began to look for it and then took it out. "I thought it was trash (垃圾)," I said in a low voice. "That's for my bug collection," she said angrily."Your bug collection?"

(1)Long long ago, there was a small island on the sea. All the feelings lived on it. One day someone said the island would go down into the sea. After hearing it, everybody began to build a boat except love. She didn't believe it at all.However, the island really began to go down. People all took their boats to leave. Love had to ask for help. She asked Richness(财富) to take her together but Richness refused(拒绝). "I can't take you with me. My boat is full of(装满) gold. There is no room(空间) for you," Richness said.Love then asked Sadness(悲伤) for help. Sadness answered, "No. I get used to(习惯于) be lonely. I only want to stay by myself."When love asked Happiness, Happiness didn't help her, either. Just then, there was a voice. "Come, Love. I will take you." It was an elder man. Love was so excited that she forgot to ask the man's name.Later, she knew the man was Time.

It's a state of well-being, a pleasant or satisfying experience. Happiness is important to everyone. Happiness is important to everyone. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Here are some tips about the discovering happiness in your life.Allow yourself to be human. When we accept emotions — such as fear, sadness, or nervousness — as natural, we are more likely to overcome them. Refusing our emotions, whether positive or negative, leads to sadness and unhappiness.Happiness mostly depends on our understanding towards the outside world, not on how much money we have. Mostly, our level of well-being is decided by what we choose to focus on and by our understanding of the things that happened. For example, do we see failure as the mother of success, or do we see it as a chance of learning?Simplify! We are, generally, too busy, trying to do more and more activities in less and less time. Yet sometimes the more we expect, the more we will lose. Sometimes we even lose our happiness by trying to do too much.Remember the mind-body connection. What we do — or don't do — with our bodies influences our mind. Regular exercise, enough sleep, and healthy eating habits lead to both physical and mental health.1.Do most people know how to find happiness?2.How many tips for happiness are talked about in this passage?3.What does happiness mostly depend on?4.How do we sometimes lose our happiness?5.What is the passage mainly about?(3)Studying in Britain for one year was an exciting experience for me. I found quite a lot of differences during my staying there.Before leaving, I bought some gifts for my new classmates. To my surprise, they opened them immediately after they received them.Schools in Britain start at around 9:00 am and end at about 3:00 pm. It means I could stay in bed for one more hour.It's a tradition for all the students to have a meeting on the first day of school. The head teacher told us about the school rules. He also told us that we must study hard. It sounded like my school in China.I found that the homework was not so heavy as what I got in my old school. We had many subjects, but we could stop studying if we are not interested in them.I felt very lucky to experience this different way of life. I really hope to go back and study in Manchester again.1.Which city did the writer stay in Britain?2.How long did the writer stay in Britain?3.What did the writer do before leaving?4.What's the tradition on the first day of school?5.What is the same thing between schools in Britain and China?(4)We may find it difficult to make decisions. When we have more choices, we don't know which one is better for us to choose. In fact, all decisions come down to (归结为) choosing whether to open a door or to close it. I have learned that opening a door always makes life more interesting.A few years ago, I lived in a small world. I worked as a teacher in a very small high school. My life was quite simple. Then one day I had an opportunity to teach in a large school. The students here came from different countries. But the school was far away from my hometown. So I asked myself, "Should I go to that strange place to teach? Or should I stay at home?" In my hometown I was safe and comfortable.But finally, I decided to go. I thought this was the best decision in my life. In that large school, I learnt a lot about very different cultures. I also found that just a smile or a hug could make people understand each other. My new students liked me very much. They always said "Mary's great! Mary's nice." We had a lot of fun. It was wonderful to live in a very different area of the country. If I had closed the door to that opportunity, I would have missed all of those wonderful experiences.1.Where did the writer teach a few years ago?2.What's the meaning of "opportunity" in Chinese?3.After the writer got the opportunity to teach in another school, what did she decide to do finally?4.What did the writer feel by making the decision?5.Did the students like the writer?(5)One of the strangest jobs at the Oscars is that of a seat-filler (填补座位的人).

Kathy Muller talks about her night as a seat-filler.I was told to reach the theater in the middle of the day, wearing my dress for the evening. There were about 200 of us seat-fillers, all very excited. We were told what we should and shouldn't do (for example, "Don't talk to the stars"), and then we waited until 5 o'clock. That's when the stars started coming.The show started at six o'clock. We had to stand outside the doors. Then, when someone came put to go to the bathroom or have a cigarette, we were told to go and sit in their seat. The show wasthree hours long, and I only sat down five times. In the end, I was really tired, but I was happy because, during the evening, I sat behind Jim Carrey (he's very tall!) and close to Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts. It was an exciting night, but I think next year I'll watch the Oscars on TV at home like everyone else!1.What does a seat-filler do when a star needs to go to the bathroom?2.Can the seat-fillers talk to the stars?3.When did the show start?4.How many times did Kathy sit down?5.How was Kathy at the end of the show?(6)A beautiful smile―Zhang BeiWhen I was 13 years old, a boy gave me an important gift.

I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone. Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn't talk to anyone about my problem, and I didn't want my parents to worry about me.Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn't know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me and, without a word, smiled.Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm.That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other students and make friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.One day, I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn't remember smiling at me! It doesn't matter because all the dark days have gone.

I explained how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours taking with him in the hospital. His eyes were also full of tears and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received. He began to tell me about his story. He said he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it was an angel, not a person who was here with him.

He asked how much cash I needed. When I told him I was $7 short, he quickly took out the money from his wallet. "you don't have to pay me back," he said I was speechless; I didn't know whether to take the money or come back with the books the next day. A young student who was working there noticed my hesitation (犹豫). "He's really nice," said the student. "I was really hungry this morning and he bought breakfast for me. He always helps people in different ways."The next day, I went to him and thanked him for trusting me and lending me the money. He said he forgot about it and didn't expect I would give it back. "I am very happy," he said, "not because I am getting my back, but because this is the right way to do things—whatever you get from thisworld, give it back as much as you possibly can. Spread kindness around the world with the smallest things you can do.”Later I found out he wasn't involved with (与…有关) any charity (慈善) organizations. He has been performing these types (类型的) of acts for years. Earlier, someone did something incredibly kind for him and he has been performing these types of acts for years. Earlier, someone did something incredibly (非常地) kind for him and he has been spreading the kindness ever since. He taught me a very important lesson in life—we come to this world with nothing and we will leave with nothing. Whatever we own, it belongs to someone else and whatever we leave, it will become somebody else's.1.Why did the writer need a locker in the school?2.When did the writer return the money?3.How did the writer feel when the old gentleman offered him the money?4.The old gentleman wasn't a member of the charity organization, was he?5.What happened to the gentleman in his early life?(21)Mr Black lives by the sea. He has a big family and has to work hard, or his wife and children will be hungry. After breakfast, he leaves for the sea in a small boat every day. He always hopes to catch more fish.One morning, the man gets to a good place for fishing. He throws (扔) a long rope (绳) with many hooks (鱼钩) into the water. He finds it heavy and pulls the rope out of the sea. He sees there is a gold chain (金链) on the hook. He is very glad. "I'll sell the gold chain for much money," he thinks to himself. "I'll build a new house, and buy lots of expensive things. I'll be the richest man in the world."His boat begins to sink (下沉). But Mr Black goes on thinking and doesn't notice what is happening.

外研版新标准英语八年级下册阅读理解试题及答案Ai Ling woke up even before her alarm clock rang. She could not sleep anymore, so she got up to get ready for school. She was taking her Chinese oral examination today.

Usually, she had to call her repeatedly to wake her up. As Ai Ling sat at the dining table having her breakfast, she was exceptionally quiet, unlike her usual bubbly self.

She tried to maintain her focus and appear calm. The examiners looked pleasant enough. They smiled at her when she greeted them. Throughout the examination, they would respond in kind to her answers. Before she knew it, it was over. She thanked the examiners and walked out of the room. The moment she was alone, she let out a deep breath as if she had been holding it in the whole time. She thought that it went rather well and was a little more relaxed after that.That afternoon, Ai Ling went home and told her mother all about the examination.

Whenever their Science lessons required them to conduct experiments, the class still had to go to the science laboratories on the third floor.

They would help to carry her books and her bag or they would support her as she made her way up the stairs.Soon, Vinnie's leg healed completely and the class was shifted back up to the third floor.

一. 阅读理解11. Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair, or your fridge? Probably they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, thanks to the so-called "Internet of things".The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. Earlier this year, Samsung CEO spent a lot of time talking about the Internet things. He said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, no matter whether it's a remote control or a washing machine.So, how do household(家用的) objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well, think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.An Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can know people's faces and has aninfrared sensor(红外传感器), so even if it's dark it can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there. If the person is someone you don't know, it can tell you that, too.But according to MIT Technology Roview, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security (安全) systems to the Internet, there may be some problems. For example, many early connected-home objects don't have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击). Moreover, it could be difficult to get these new machines to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2014.So, picture this: you enter your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.( ) 1. The Samsung CEO's speech is mentioned to prove that ______.A. Samsung has produced the Internet of things recentlyB. the Internet of things will appear in our daily life soonerC. Samsung products have been part of the Internet of thingsD. he spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things( ) 2. We can infer(推断)from paragraphs 3 and 4 that ______.A. the chair can know whether the user feels cold or notB. a usual chair can warm up when it knows the user comes inC. an Internet-connected camera can be used to take photos in the houseD. an Internet-connected camera can be connected to the user's smartphone( ) 3. Paragraph 5 is mainly about ______.A. the possible problems of "the Internet of things"B. the problems with early connected-home objectsC. how to get different new machines working togetherD. how to solve the "the Internet of things" problems( ) 4. Which of the following words best describes the writer's tone(语气) in the article?A. WorriedB. DoubtfulC. HopefulD. Humorous12. Almost every day, we discuss the topic of health, especially for kids. But what is health? "Health" means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having a healthy weight. Let's read the following rules. They can help you stay healthy.Eat a variety of foods, especially fruits and vegetables.We all know that eating fruits and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favorite foods. Remember that we can only get the nutrition (营养) we need by eating different kinds of food, especially fruits and vegetables.Drink water and milk most often.Everyone knows that water is important. Besides that, kids need plenty of calcium(钙)to grow strong bones, and milk has a lot of it. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk (1300 milligrams of calcium), when you are 9 years old or older. You should also try to have less sugary drinks like soda and coca. They include a lot of added sugar. Sugar just includes calories without any important nutrition.Listen to your body.When you are eating, notice how you body feels. When your stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating too much makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do it too often, it can make you unhealthy and fat.Limit screen time.What's screen time? It's the amount of time you spend watching TV, movies, and playing computer games. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time you spend playing sports, like-basketball, and doing other activities like bike riding and swimming. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.( )1. According to the passage, "health" includes all of the following EXCEPT__________.A. eating wellB. doing more exercisesC. having a healthy weightD. wearing comfortably( ) 2.

We should spend the same time on both sitting-down activities and on sports. ( ) 4. What's the best title for the passage?A. How to Eat HealthilyB. Eating and Playing Are Both ImportantC. Tips for Staying HealthyD. Health Is Very Important13. 阅读理解阅读下面的短文, 然后根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
