What can you do when someone hurts you? Most people may be angry or even fight with him. But it's not a good idea. You'd better forget all this and forgive（宽恕，原谅） him.Maybe it's not easy for you to do that, but it's possible. Please remember: Keep a good mood, and you will keep healthy.

If it isn't，smile at the thing.（1）This passage tells us _______.A. to get along well with othersB. to say sorry to others bravely when we hurt themC. not to hurt othersD. to forgive others when they hurt us（2）Forgiving others is _______ according to the writer's opinion.A. easyB. foolishC. possibleD. impossible（3）The underlined sentence means "_______" in Chinese.A. 尽力坚持自己的观点B. 尽力让别人接受自己的观点C. 尽量站在别人的立场上看问题D. 尽量看到别人立场中的实质问题（4）The writer gives us _______ ideas to forgive others.A. threeB. fourC. fiveD. six（5）Forgetting others' mistakes and staying happy can make us _______.A. sadB. disappointedC. upsetD. healthy【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）C（4）B（5）D【解析】【分析】本文介绍别人伤害我们时要原谅他们，同时提出几点看法。

Although Mattel is selling fewer Barbies in the United States these years, sales in other countries are still going up. Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat, drink or even become fashion designers for their own Barbies.Mattel is planning big celebrations for Barbie's 58th birthday.

Proverbs are popular around the world.Many listeners have sent us their favorite proverbs. They give advice about how to live. We begin with two popular proverbs about staying healthy by eating good food. One is" An apple a day keeps the doctor away." The other is" You are what you eat."Several proverbs about birds also give advice. You may have heard this one: The early bird catches the worm. This means a person who gets up early, or acts quickly, has the best chance of success. Another famous proverb is" a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". This means you should not risk losing something you have by searching something that is not guaranteed（有保证的）.Another proverb warns "do not put all your eggs in one basket". This means you should not put all of your resources（资源） together in one place because you could risk losing everything at one time.Here is more advice: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Also," Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today."Yet another proverb advises us not to be concerned about something bad that you cannot change. It says," There is no use crying over spilled milk."Do you agree with the proverb" Children should be seen and not heard"? Maybe you have told your children that" hard work never hurt anyone". But other people say that" all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". They believe it is not wise to spend all your time working but never having fun.Finally, here is one of our favorite pro-verbs: People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. This means you should not criticize other people unless you are perfect yourself.That's all for today. Thanks for listening.（1）A proverb is ________.A. a long sayingB. not famous at allC. about common truthD. only popular in China（2）The proverb "you are what you eat" advises us to ________.A. eat what we likeB. have a healthy dietC. eat an apple every dayD. eat as much as we can（3）If someone is slow in action, we can tell him/her the proverb "________".A. the early bird catches the wormB. do not put all your eggs in one basketC. all work and no play makes Jack a dull boyD. people who live in glass houses should not throw stones（4）What is this passage probably used for?A.

【英语】八年级英语下册阅读理解练习题经典一、八年级英语下册阅读理解专项练习（含答案解析）1．阅读理解Have you ever thought about what our food will be like in the future? As the population is growing fast, there must be changes in our food.More land will be used for building houses for people. Then there will be less space for cattle and chickens, so meat will be more expensive. Instead, people will eat more fruit and vegetables. Scientists are always trying out new ways of growing food. Only one third of the Earth's area is land and the rest is sea, so some think maybe we can get more food from the sea.Besides, though rice supports more than half of the world's population, it needs a lot of water to grow. Scientists predict（预测） the climate will get drier during the next century. Therefore, it might be impossible to grow rice in the future. Some farmers are experimenting with new crops. Farmers like to grow beans because they don't need much water, and beans also improve the quality of the soil. The soybean （黄豆） makes a good substitute（替代品） for rice and meat.（1）Why won't some people eat meat every day in the future according to the passage?A. Because meat makes people fat.B. Because meat may be more expensive.C. Because people want to be healthier.D. Because people want to eat more vegetables.（2）Where can we get more food according to the passage?A. From the sea.B. From the land.C. From the rivers.D. From other planets.（3）Why might it be impossible to grow rice in the future according to the passage?A. Because growing rice is hard work.B.
