AIn the past, working people in Britain only had holidays on “holy” (religious) days: Sundays, Christmas and Easter. Now most people have about four weeks of holiday time every year plus public (公共的) holidays (also called “bank holidays”).When?Most British workers take a two-week holiday in July or August. School children are on holiday from the end of July to the start of September. Taking a second holiday break in winter or spring is also becoming more popular in the UK.Where?The most popular holiday destinations for Brits include Spain, France, Greece and the US. Lots of people buy a package holiday that includes flights and a hotel or an apartment. Cheap overseas flights mean that many British people are able to spend two weeks a year vacationing abroad. Flights and package holidays are much cheaper during school terms and the British government is worried that some young people are skipping school to go on holiday. Parents who take their child on vacation during term time must now pay a fine.British people also like to go on holiday in the UK. They might go to England, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales, In Cornwall (康沃尔), for example, there is an environmental project called the Eden Project. You can see plants from all over the world there.Independent (独立的) holidaysSome teenagers want to spend their holidays doing something without their family. A language exchange is one way to become more ind ependent and improve one’s language skills.

I turned around and found a little lady with a warm smile. I said heartily:” Of course﹗”“Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked.She joked, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then travel around.”“No seriously,” I asked.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’ getting one!” she told me.Over the year, Rose became an icon(偶像) and she easily made friends. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention of the others. At the end of the term we invited Rose to ou r football party. I’llnever forget what she said.“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. Here are the secrets to stay young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die! There's a huge difference between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. But growing up requires finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets.”One week after graduation that year, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.( )6.What’s the relationship between the writer and Rose?A.They are good friends.

With drawings and simple words, the step-by-step guide explains how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls. Zhang made the guide for his parents. “My parents are getting old. They need an easy way to learn how to use new techn ology.” He said.Zhang’s experience is common nowadays. Worldwide, 40 percent of parents learn about new technologies, including computers, mobile Internet and social media, from their children, according to a study from the International Communication Association in 2014.Parents used to teach their kids about almost everything. Now for the first time, the teachers become the students, and the students turn into the teachers.The change of roles comes from the rapid development of society and technology, says Zhou Xiaohong, a sociology professor from Nanjing University. Zhou said the Internet and other forms of media give children ways to get information besides from asking older generations(长辈). Therefore, in the age of information, it’s possible that chil dren know more than their parents do.According to the China Internet Network Information Center(CINIC), 56.7 percent of Internet users and 67.2 percent of social media users in China are under the age of 30. The younger generation usually acts as alink between their family and the new environment. But when they teach their parents new technologies, parents can connect to the new world by themselves, noted Zhou.In Zhang Ming’s eyes, teaching his parents about WeChat brings him closer to his parents. “People can communicate more by using new technology. Why should we keep our parents out?” said Zhang.( )11.According to the passage, Zhang’s parents can’t_______with the “WeChat guide”.A.make video calls B.send messagesC.grab the red envelopes D.take pictures( )12.Why does children know more than their parents do nowadays?A.Because parents teach the children about almost everything.B.Because children can ask more older generations for help.C.Because parents are getting old.D.Because children can get more information by using new technoloies.( )13.What does the underlined word “link” in paragraph 5 mean?A.teacher B.connection C.treasure D.conversation( )14.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Zhang Mi ng’s “We Chat guide” is made up of drawings and simple words.B.40% of parents lean about new technologies from their children all over the world on 2014.C.56.7% of social media users in China are under 30 according to the CINIC.D.Zhang Ming thinks that we should encourage our parents to use more new technolohies. ( )15.What’s the best title of the passage?A.Ways of using new technology B.Kids can also teach parentsC.How parents connect to the world D.Ways to get informationDWant to know what we students can do to make our city a better place to live in?

Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plan. So airlines(航空公司)offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don’t want to lose customers.However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude(海拔)we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure(气压)reduces one third of the sensibility(感觉)of our taste buds. So ourtaste buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses don’t know it.All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy(辛辣的)food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.Though sci entists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can’t deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.( )26.In Paragraph 2, “this problem” means ______.A.passengers stay long in the plane B.food on the plane tastes badC.passengers have no food to eat D.food on the plane is expensive( )27.What do airlines do to solve this problem?A.Get more customers. B.Offer more food.C.Improve their food. D.Reduce the ticket price.( )28.As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces of the sensibility of our taste buds.A.half B.one third C.one fourth D.one fifth( )29.Why do scientists feel it hard to made food on the plane taste good?A.The volunteers don’t know about food taste.B.The volunteers don’t understand them.C.They can’t find enough volunteers.D.They can’t deal with the special environment successfully.( )30.What is the best title of the passage?A.Taste of Airplane Food B.Airplane TravelC.Scientific Research on Noses D.The Change in Air PressureGEvery country has its own way of cooking. American people have their own way of cooking, don't they? Most people in the United States like fast food, but if you think that American people don't like cooking, you are wrong.

Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty--sometimes you are just thirsty, and you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

人教版八年级英语上册阅读理解12篇(一)Many animals migrate-they move over long ways, often at the same time and to the same place each year. They move to places where the weather is warmer, where there is more food and water, or where their young will be safer. Here are three amazing examples of migration: One of the largest animal migrations happens on the Serengeti plains(塞伦盖蒂平原) in Africa. More than one million wildebeest(角马) migrate in a big group. As the seasons change, they follow the rain, looking for better grass to eat and water to drink. They stay in one place while the grass and water are good, and then they move on. They return to the same places each year. Thousands of zebras and other animals travel with the wildebeest.Out of all migrating animals, Arctic terns(北极燕鸥) travel the longest way. These seabirds lay their eggs and raise their young in summer in the north of Europe, Asia and North America. Each year around August, they fly south over the oceans. They spend about five months near Antarctica, while it is warmer there. Then after the southern summer ends, they fly north again. Arctic terns travel more than 70.000 kilometers in a year.Salmon(蛙鱼) live most of their lives in the ocean. But when it’s time for them to lay their eggs, they return to the rivers where they were born. They move up rivers and streams to find the right place. Scientists think that the fish remember the special smell of their river, and this is how they find their way. Salmon can swim strongly up hills, and will jump high to get over waterfalls. ( )1.The word “migrate” means ________ in the first paragraph.A.移民B.迁徙B.C.搬家D.移动( )2.Animals migrate because ________.A.they need warmer weather B.they need foodC.they need good places to raise their young D.all of the above( )3.Arctic terns can travel ________ kilometers each year.A.5,000B.30,000C.over 70,000D.1 million( )4.Scientists think ________ helps salmon find their way as they migrate.A.the smell of the river B.the sound of the riverC.the warmth of the river D.the amount of water in the river答案详解本文介绍了角马、北极燕鸥和蛙鱼三个令人吃惊的迁徙例子。

It never gets lost because this robot has a map of the hospital in its computer memory.Though robots can help people in many different ways, they will never take the place of humans.()1.From the passage,we know robots cannot be .A.dangerous animalsB.factory workersC.guide dogsD.hospital helpers()2.Arobot guide dog .A.goes in front of blind peopleB.walks side by side with blind peopleC.has a map in its headD.helps patients with their meals()3.The underlined word"disabled"means“"in Chinese.A.不能的B.有害的C.失灵的D.残疾的()4.Some disabled people need robots'help to .A.talke care of themselvesB.talk to other peopleC.become scientistsD.do dangerous jobs()5.In the passage,the writer wants to tell us that .A.robots are stronger and cleverer than humansB.disabled people cannot look after themselves without the robotsC.robots will take the place of humants some day in the futureD.robots can help humans in many different waysCCellphones are keeping children and teenagers awake at night.Researchers made a study of children and teenagers aged 6 to 19.According to the study,72%of the children use their cellphones in their sleep environment.And they also have found a“strong connection"between the use of cellphones at bedtime and poor sleep.One reason is to use cellphones can excite the children's mind too much.The light from a smartphone also influences(影响)how the body normally works and then leads to poor sleep.☆Keep a diary: Thoughts and worries can make you anxious at night.

人教版八年级英语上册阅读理解10篇(一)If you see someone fall onto the ground because of a heart problem, what will you do before doctors come? Chen Wenqiao set a good example when he was 14. He did CPR (心肺复苏) in his school and saved a man's life in 2013. Chen showed that it was quite useful to know how to do CPR.According to medical experts, there is a "golden period(黄金期)"—the first 4 minutes of a heart problem. During the time, CPR makes the biggest difference. Unluckily, only less than I percent of Chinese adults have known the skill of CPR, while many even have never heard of it. On August 24 of 2020, the Ministry of ERCSC made a joint guideline (联合指示) to ask all public schools to give first-aid(急救) courses, including (包括)CPR training.CPR is not hard to learn. All that one needs to do is how to watch and decide if a person is unconscious (失去知觉的), where to press on the patient's chest, and how to blow air through the mouth and into the lungs(肺).A 2017 study showed that 65 percent of Americans had received CPR training. In Switzerland, all people are asked to be trained in first aid, including CPR: tn Germany, everyone must be trained before getting their driver's license, which means about 80 percent of the country has received first-aid training.

To show us the popularity (普及) of CPR.C.To ask us to help people with a heart attack(二)Fish and chips, and Chinese take-away food(熟食) are very popular in England. But they are less popular(不受欢迎) in the USA. In the USA, they eat take-away food, too, like fried(油炸的) chicken. But the most popular kind of take-away food is hamburger. It looks like bread with meat in it. Hamburgers are delicious. They are very popular in the world.Chinese food has different tastes and is usually very delicious.

Jim was very proud of two things. One was Jim's gold watch from his grandfather. The other was Della's hair. It almost made itself into a dress for her.Della wanted to buy Jim a Christmas gift. The only thing she thought valuable(有价值的) was her hair. She sold it, without thinking twice, for 20 dollars. She was going from one shop to another to find a gift for Jim. She saw a gold watch chain (链条) It was so perfect for his watch! She paid for it unhesitatingly and hurried home with the chain and 87 cents.At seven before the dinner, Jim stepped in and he was not smiling. He looked strangely at Della and said slowly,” You cut off your hair?”"Yes. I sold it for the gift so don’t be sad." Della answered "Oh, my dear, I also bought a gift for you,”Jim took out a paper bag from his coat. "If you open that, you may know how I felt when I came in.”White fingers opened the bag And then a cry of joy. And then a change to tears. For there lay The Comb---the combs that Della had seen in a shop window and loved for a long time.Della took out the gift for Jim. However, Jim smiled and said, "Let's put our Christmas gifts away and keep them a while. They are too nice to use now. I will buy my watch back someday.

Here is the reason: seabirds mainly live on fish. When there are fish in the nets, seabirds can smell fish from far away and fly to the nets to catch fish. As a result, they get caught in the nets and then die. These fishing nets kill at least 400,000 seabirds every year. Some seabirds are in great danger now.Scientists know that many seabirds don’t like to see other animals’ eyes. If they do, they will fly away. So they came up with an idea. They designed a floating buoy(浮标) with big eyes and made the eyes large enough so that all seabirds could see the eyes. Also, scientists made the eyes keep moving in the water, so birds coming from different places could see them easily and then flew away. Scientists tested the buoys in the water for 250 hours. The result showed that the eyes made 20%-30% of ducks leave, and some seabirds visited the water less even three weeks after scientists took away the buoys.The test showed success and hope, but scientists found that the eyes didn’t work for all kinds of seabirds. Some were not afraid of the eyes in the first place, and some came back again to fish finally. Scientists hope that they will build better eyes. There is a long way to go to save seabirds, but scientists will keep moving forward.()1. The first paragraph mainly talks about _______.A. how fishermen fishB. how seabirds get fishC. why seabirds die in fishing nets()2. Scientists made the eyes keep moving to let _______ see them.A. birds with poor eyesightB. birds from different placesC. fish under water()3. Which of the following is TRUE?A. All ducks were afraid of the floating buoys with big eyes.B. Less than 400,000 seabirds died in these fishing nets.C. The floating buoys with big eyes worked for some seabirds.()4. We can infer(推断) from the passage that scientists are _______ the eyes.A. sorry aboutB. hopeful aboutC. worried about()5. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Are seabirds in danger?B. Why do we save seabirds?C. Can big eyes save seabirds?What does taking the train mean to you? Perhaps it’s just a way of getting to your destination(目的地). In fact, the train itself can be part of the fun.On March 28, 2021, China’s first panda-themed tourist train left Chengdu in Sichuan for Zunyi in Guizhou. It soon became the talk of China with its special design and fun facilities(设施). The train is full of giant panda pictures. Attendants(乘务员) carry panda toys to move around and passengers(乘客) can try panda-shaped food, as well as Sichuan snacks. Some people call it a “mobile star hotel” because it has a bar, karaoke room, dance hall, and mahjong(麻将) room. Passengers can take showers and use its 5G network as well.Besides fun facilities, train travel appeals to people for other reasons. In the fast-paced times we live in, train travel is a good way to slow down. It gives you time and space to read, sleep, chat with friends, or simply do nothing but watch the changing scenery(风景) outside.Sheng Yawei, 26, once took the longest railway in the world — the Trans-Siberian(穿越西伯利亚的) Railway. Running from Moscow to Vladivostok, it takes six days. Sheng said, “It was like a time travel experience. Since the journey covers eight time zones(时区), I saw my watch go back suddenly.” He added, “The rivers, forests, mountains, and deserted countryside along the way made me feel peaceful.” Train travel is also filled with surprises. You might meet new people. Sheng met a Russian college student and they became friends. “I also met a cute boy who gave me melon seeds(瓜子). Though we didn’t understand each other’s language, it made me feel nice. Taking the train is very interesting. You don’t know who you’ll meet or what you’ll see. It’s a window to see the world,” he said.()1. On the panda-themed train, passengers can NOT _______.A. have Sichuan snacksB. have a dancing partyC. take photos with real giant pandas()2. People call the panda-themed train a “mobile star hotel” because of _______.A. its fun facilitiesB. its special foodC. its fast speed(速度)()3. The underlined phrase “appeals to” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_______” in Chinese.A. 挑战B. 吸引C. 排斥()4. In Sheng Yawei’s opinion, _______ made his travel full of surprises.A. watching the deserted countryside along the wayB. making friends with foreignersC. understanding a different language()5. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The panda-themed tourist train.B. Travel experiences.C. Interesting train travels.(六)The next day was also cold and grey. Nobody talked much during breakfast. Mrs March was pale (苍白的) and red. The girls tried to hide their tears.Then Mr Brooke arrived with the carriage(四轮马车) and it was time for Mrs March to leave.She kissed her daughters one by one and said, “Keep busy, my dears, and never lose hope!"“Yes, Mother.""Meg. look after your sisters. If you need help, ask Mr Frence. Jo,be patient and cheerful, and write to me often. Beth and Amy, help with the housework and be obedient (服从的)”“Yes. Mother I Don't worry!"Mrs March got into the carriage and opened the window.“Goodbye, my dears!" she called as it drove away. The girls waved their hands cheerfully until the carriage turned the corner.Then, with sad faces and heavy hearts, they went back inside.“The house seems very empty now," said Meg.“Our motto(座右铭)is“Hope and keep busy'," said Jo brightly. She was trying to forget how sad she was feeling. “So I'm going to go and see Aunt March. What about you,Meg?"“I'm going to teach the Kings' children," replied Meg.“And Amy and I are going to help Hannah with the housework," said Beth.“I think anxiety (焦虑) is very interesting," Amy said seriously. Her remark made her sisters laugh, and they all started to feel a little better.()1. When did the story happen?A. In the morning.B. In the afternoonC. In the evening.()2. How many daughters did Mrs March have?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.()3. Who was going to help Hannah with the housework?A. Beth.B. Meg.C. Amy and Beth.()4. What does the underlined word remark mean in Chinese?A.话语B.表情C.态度()5. According to the story, we can know that_________.A. it was hot and sunny that dayB. the girls felt unhappy when their mother leftC. Mr Brooke worked for Mrs March and her family(七)Almost every Chinese person can recite(背诵)the two lines of the famous poem,"Every grain on the plate comes from hard work." But sadly, many of us don't actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don't waste food.A CCTV program reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year. Do we have too much food? Absolutely not.According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2011, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger (饥饿)every year.Chinese people are well-known for being friendly and generous (大方的)。

She sent her Hello Kitty doll into the sky early this month. She wanted to find out how altitude(高度)changed air pressure(气压) and temperature, according to New York Daily News.Rojas put the doll and a small computer into a rocket model, and then sent it up with a weather balloon(气球). The computer recorded the height, air pressure and temperature. Rojas also put in a video camera to record the trip."It took about two or three weeks to put it all together," said Rojas. "I think people will think it (the video) is really cool."The balloon got to 28.5km above the Earth. At that height, the doll could see the blue curves (曲线) of our planet.

人教版八年级上册英语阅读理解训练第1篇In the world, soccer of football is the most popular sport. This is because many countries have wonderful teams for the World Cup. The World Cup is held every four years. To remember 2002 FIFA World Cup, children from different countries and more than 60 children from Japanese schools came together and spent three weekends drawing a big picture called“Dream(梦幻) World Cups”in Japan. The children drew animals, flowers and people playing soccer under a bule bright sky. They wished each football team good luck by drawing the flags(旗帜)of all the countries that will take part in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. The picture was put up in a park near a playground in Yokohama. Some football teams will have games there.Are you a football fan(迷)?The World Cup makeds more and more people interested in football. Teenagers(青少年)like playing and watching football. Many of them love some football stars so much that they get the pictures of their favourite players on the walls of their rooms. That is the way to show their love for the World Cup as children in Japan.1.If a country wants to take part in the World Cup ,she must have______.A.Many football fansB.a very good teamC.many football playerD.a big playground2.The next World Cup will be held in_______.A.2006B.2007C.2005D.20043.From the passage ,in the picture children drew many things except_________.A. people playing footballB. pictures of some football starsC. a sunny skyD. flowers4.In“Dream World Cup”,the children drew the flags of some countries______.A. to show their love for their owe countryB. to tell the people their storiesC. to show their good wishes for the football teamsD. to show their new ideas about football5.Many teenagers owe the pictures of some football stars because______.A. they are interested in footballB. they are football fansC. they think their favourite players are greatD. all of A, B and C答案 B A B C D第2篇One of the things I always believe is that no matter how bad something is, you can take something positive out of it. The one time I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11.I usually wake up a 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wake up earlier. I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed (撞击) into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. My first reaction (反应) was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing (目击) an act of terrorism.My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over again. When I watched family members looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. I couldn’t understand how something this terrible could have happened.It wasn’t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy (悲剧). People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant(宽容的). Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, I am more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious(珍贵的), to let myself get worried over small things. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. Things change in the blink of an eye. People go to work and don’t come back. One moment they’re living and the next minute they’re not. And, it doesn’t matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it. We never know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make the most of every minute we have.You try to learn from what happened. You can’t be used up by it. You can’t live by it. All you can do is just live.1. The word “positive”in the passage probably means ______.A. terribleB. badC. goodD. real2. What did the writer see after he turned on the TV that morning?A. A fire startingB. A plane flyingC. A terrible accidentD. An act of terrorism.3. From September 11, the writer had realized that___________.A. people should make the most of every minute they haveB. he has become less tolerant towards othersC. he should get worried about little thingsD. life is too short to care about others.4. What’s t he best title of this passage?A. A Report about September 11B. The Tragedy of September 11C. September 11 and My FamilyD. September 11 and My Turn.参考答案CDAD第3篇My father is tall and has short gray hair. He wears glasses with heavy black frames(框). But I just saw a picture of him from 1968. What a surprise! In the picture, he’s 15 years old. He’s short and he is wearing glasses with small, round frames. He has short yellow hair and it’s really straight. He’s wearing blue jeans and a T-shirt with the word “Love”. I’m 15 years old now. I’m of medium height and I have short hair. My hair isn’t yellow. It’s blue. My dad thinks it’s strange(奇怪的), but my friends think it’s great. I wear glasses, but my glasses have bright red frames.They’re so cool! I have an earring in one ear, too. I never wear blue jeans.

He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.The next important date in the history of photography (摄影术) was in 1837. That yeat ,Daguere,another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room .He used a new kind of camera in a differentway. In his picture you couild see exerything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travellers brought back wondeful photos from all around the world. People took picture of famous buildings, cities and mountains. In 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take picture of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example,somein the United Ststes worked so hard.Mathew Brady was a famous American photographers. He took many picture of gread people.The picture were unusual beause they were very lifelike(栩栩如生的). Photographers also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century.

Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.“Cool”can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say “It's cool.”You may think, “He's so cool,”when you see your favourite footballer.We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new”or “surprising”. Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, “It's so cool”. Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, somepeople have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.1.

人教版八年级上册英语期末复习阅读理解专项练习题(一)A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps(脚步) and asked: “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.” What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind. The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign reminded people they were lucky that they were not blind.There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story. The first is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can. The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!1. What did the boy do on the street?A. He sold his old hat.B. He begged (乞讨) for money.C. He was busy collecting coins.D. He showed his good handwriting.2. How did the man help the blind boy?A. He took the boy’s sign away.B. He gave the boy a lot of money.C. He changed the words on the sign.D. He asked other people to help the blind boy.3. What does the underlined word "recognized" mean?A. 辨认出B. 看到C. 承认D. 注意到4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The man did nothing to help the blind boy except changing the words on the sign.B. Before the man changed the words, the hat had been full.C. Without the man’s help, the blind boy couldn’t get so much money.D. The kind man was very thankful to the blind boy.5. Which is the best title for the passage?A. A kind and clever man.B. A blind boy in the street.C. Let’s help the disabled people.D. Different words make a difference.1 BCACD(二)We know good manners are important. Today I am going to tell you something about manners in different countries. I think you already know that people in different countries usually have different ways of doing things. Something that is rude in one country may be quite polite in another. For ex ample, in Britain you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having liquid food. That is considered bad manners in Britain. But in Japan you needn’t worry about making a noise when you drink something. It shows that you are enjoying it. In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table throughout a meal. In Arabic countries we must be careful with our hands. You see, in Arabic countries you mustn’t ea t with your left hand. This is considered to be very impolite. So, what should you do if you visit a foreign country? Well, you needn’t worry. You can ask the native people there to help you and you can just watch carefully and try to do what they do.1. In Arabic countries you must be careful with your _____.A. feetB. mouthC. eyesD. hands2.

The first Mole Day took place in 1991 and has been honored every year since. The concept of a celebratory day was created by Maurice Oehler, a retired high school chemistry teacher. It aims to developinterest in chemistry, encouraging schools around the globe to celebrate Mole Day with various activities related to chemistry.Fibonacci DayNov. 23 marks Fibonacci Day, a special day that celebrates tile man known as Leonardo Fibonacci who developed a mathematical concept called the Fibonacci Sequence, in which every number is the sum of the previous two numbers. So, for example, 11/23 marks the day because1+1 equals 2, and then 1+2 equals 3 (the date being the 23rd). It may be somewhat difficult to grasp, but the concept is not entirely theoretical.Square Root DaySquare Root Day is a holiday that occurs when the month and day are square roots of thelast two digits of the year: e.g. 2/2/2004 and 啊2009. The last Square Root Day was 4/V2016 and the next one will be 5/5/2025. The holiday was created by a high school teacher Ron Gordon in Redwood City, California, who noticed that an upcoming date (9/9/1981) represented a square root.Pi DayThe granddaddy of mathematical and scientific holidays, however, falls every year on Mar. 14.The date,孑14, represents the first three numerals in the calculation of pi; so the date isknown annually as Pi Day.

They all became worried and started to make excuses.“I must go and mend the machine.” said the pilo t, taking one of the parachutes. There was nothing he could do so he just jumped out.The next person said, “I must have a parachute. I am a very clever person, and I have to take part in an important sports game.

You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.Once(一旦) you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?“Follow Your Heart” by Australian writer Andrew Mathews tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge.You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts(想法) stop you from getting your dream, the book says.In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep tell ing yourself what you want. Do this step by step(一步一步地) and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.You must also never give up your dream.There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams.
