任务型阅读专项训练AWe all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and redu ces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying ne w ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.Title: 1 to Live a Green Life1. ___________2. ___________3. ___________4. ___________5. ___________6. ___________7. ___________8. ___________9. ___________ 10. ___________BB Mistakes are great teachersMistakes are great teachers. Success comes to those who are willing to risk making mistakes to achieve their goals and wishes, and who are able to learn from those mistakes. And in order to learn from mistakes you must be willing to pay for them.Mistakes can be very valuable, but when you try to get others to pay for your mistakes, then you lose the chanceto learn from them. When something goes wrong, it’s usually very easy to find someone else’s mistakes, but is that useful ? Of course not.Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they need to cost that must be paid. The person who learns the most from a mistake is the one who pays the price for that mistake.When you make a mistake, what you shouldn’t do is run away from it. You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it. The mistake has been made, so make the most of it. Pay the price, learn the lesson, and grow that much strongerWhen you make a mistake, don’t look back at it long. Remember the reason for it, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The post cannot be changed. The present is still in your power.

Preparations start before you even go into the store. Here is how to make sure you are always getting your shopping for the best price.●Create your list.Write a full list which includes two parts, something necessary for a living and something for fun. With a strict list, you won’t easily change your mind to buy more than you need.●Check the cupboards.One of the easiest way s to overspend is buying what you don’t need. Before leaving, take time to check what products you have in the house, especially in the cupboards. Buy what you badly need and it will help you save money before you step into the supermarkets.●Know your budget(预算)Keep in mind how much you plan to spend. It is possible to get your shopping for less, but you need to wisely pay attention to the products and brands you buy to support savings.●Compare pricesYou should make a comparison between the prices offered by different supermarkets. So if you try to buy your shopping for less, compare the prices in different shops, which makes sure that you are always visiting the cheapest supermarket for your shop.●Choose the best time for shoppingIf you know your supermarket well, there will certainly be a preferred time to shop. This could be at the quietest time to make sure you get peace while working out the total cost of your shopping. And a few hours before closing helps you to get a special offer. That will bring down the cost of your shopping.1. ___________2. ___________3. ___________4. ___________5. ___________6. ___________7. ___________8. ___________9. ___________ 10. ___________DI once believed that a friend is a friend all the way. Now I have changed my ideas about friendships.1. Friends of convenience(便利). They can be the people who live next door or the mothers of our children’s closest friends. Friends of convenience are good indeed. They’ll help us when we need it. They’ll look after our cats when we go on holidays. But we don’t ever get too close or tell too much. Between us, we’ll talk about being overweight but not about being sad or disappointed(失望). However, people still find it necessary to make friends like this.2. Special-interest friends. These friendships aren’t deeply personal or emotional(感情上的). They lie in some shared interests, so we may have an office friend, a tennis friend, or even a shopping friend.3. Historical friends. We all have a friend who knew u s when…maybe we were back in the second grade of primary school, when our family lived in that two-room flat downtown. He or she was the first, the only friend we told our secrets to.The years have gone by, and we have gone different ways. But we’re still a personal part of each other’s past. We know how we looked before our teeth were straightened(矫正), and our getting together makes us think of an earlier part of ourselves, which is important and never lost.4. Cross-generational friends. These are friendships that from across generations(代). I have in my own life a precious(珍贵的) friend, a woman of 65, who is clever, who listens well, and who means not only an ideal mother to me but also the person I’d like to be when I grow up.1. ___________2. ___________3. ___________4. ___________5. ___________6. ___________7. ___________8. ___________9. ___________ 10. ___________ESometimes it may seem difficult to improve our health. If so, the following health habits may help you.Eat breakfast every morningResearch shows that if you eat a meal in the morning you may not become too fat or eat too much during lunch. Eating breakfast can help people feel better through the day.Get enough sleepPoor sleep can influence our memory and learning. It can also cause traffic accident! Studies show that people who don’t get enough sleep seem to get into more accidents. So stay safe and get enough sleep!Take a walk every dayWalking is an easy way to exercise. You’d better meet friends for a walk, not for a meal. As you walk, you will see the beautiful world around you. Once you try, you’ll find that adding a walk into your daily life is very easy.Join social groupsSocial groups can provide support. They might include sport teams, art or music groups. The people in the group can offer advice and can help each other in difficult times. Also, being in a group keeps your mind busy. And active mind is a healthy mind.Have a hobbyA hobby could be running, reading or making something with your hands. Hobbies help people to relax and rest. Hobbies bring us joy too.1. __________2. __________3. __________4. __________5. __________6. __________7. __________8. __________9. __________ 10. __________FWe all dream about things that we would like to do we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybody’s dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part in it.What are the hopes of teenagers? We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after finishing your education? I t seems some students would like to start work as soon as they can, so that they can help offer better lives to their parents. Other students hope to continue studying after they finish school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.What are the dreams of teenagers? Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic than others. For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And quite a few said they dream of going to the moon one day.According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some said they’d like to have exciting trips; one student said she’d love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that are impossible; three students said they’d like to be able to fly!Conclusion It was clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job. On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things,1. ___________2. ___________3. ___________4. ___________5. ___________6. ___________7. ___________8. ___________9. ___________ 10. ___________。

In our daily life many people always have negative(消极的) thoughts. Being in a negative space is harmful to our life and study. If you keep them in mind, you will lose hope sooner or later. Let’s drive away some of the most common negative thoughts.No one cares about me.Sometimes you say that your family and friends don’t care about you. Maybe you’re being too negative and misunderstand the gestures of love they show you. They don’t even have to be big gestures, but there are many countless little things they do for you. Maybe you just pay no attention to them and take them as granted. Perhaps you think they don’t care about you so you don’t make any effort in your relationships. Start showing people you care, so they can show you back in the same way. And if you don’t have good relationships with the people you know, what’s stopping you from making new friends?Why is she better off?Comparing yourself to someone else is never positive. There’s always going to be someone who is younger, prettier, smarter, or richer than you. If you keep admiring what someone else has, then this may cause you to lose the balance in your mind, which will open a whole other negative can of worms. Remember, what they don’t have is your whole package. Be proud of what you have, because if you want to play the comparison game, remember that there are people who are also worse off than you are.I’ll never reach my goal.If you think you’re not going to be able to“get there”, think again. There are many people who are worse off and have overcome more difficulty than what you are facing.Everything is within your reach as long as you work hard and have a a positive attitude.Conclusion ● Everything is 10 your reach as long as you work hard and have apositive attitude.阅读填空答案A) 1-5.

These are the necessary tasks bottle, the voluntary（自愿的）tasks bottle and the happiness bottle.Every day, we spend time filling the necessary tasks bottle with useful things, like making money, doing housework, buying food and paying bills. We then fill another bottle with voluntary tasks. These are things that we do for others, but we may not enjoy them. This bottle gets filled with tasks like taking children to activities, cooking family meals, and doing laundry. Those bottles are very important. If we don’t fill them each day, our family won’t run properly. However, we often forget to fill the third bottle ---- the happiness bottle that we fill with activities that make us happy. Is your happiness bottle sometimes empty at the end of the day? Between doing all the necessary and voluntary tasks, time flies by, and before we know it, it is time for bed. We all have days like that.This is why each day we have to make an effort to fill our happiness bottle. I fill mine by going to the dancing class. And I always leave classes more happily than when I enter. This week, I had the pleasure of taking part in a guitar practice in my neighborhood. We show our musical talent and practice music for charity. It was a time of fun, friendship and music-making. At the end of the evening, my happiness bottle was filled to top.Will your activities bring joy to your life? Or are the other two tasks eating up all your time? Try to find ways to achieve a balance between how you fill your three bottles. At the end of the day, hopefully we’ve done all we can to make sure that our happiness bottle is filled.Three groups of the 66 we spend our timeThe necessary task jar The necessary tasks jar is 67 of useful things, like making money,doing housework, buying food and 68 bills.The 69 task jar We fill the jar with voluntary tasks such as 70 children toactivities and cooking meals for our 71 .The happiness jar This is the jar that we fill with activities that bring us 72 .Between doing all the necessary and voluntary tasks, time flies by onsome days, and before we know it, it is time to 73 to bed.

Her mother, Doria, was a doctor, and her father, Tom, was a television lighting director. For 10 years after school each day, young Meghan spent time at the studio where her father worked. This experience allowed her to become very comfortable with the acting business. For that reason, she knew she wanted to become an actress from a very early age.As a child, she felt strongly about something else, too: People should be treated equally. This passion(热情)to help others is still a big part of her life today.Her acting career began in 2002 when she made her first appearance on TV. Other small parts on TV and in a few films followed. Then finally in 2011, Markle got her big break.

牛津译林版初中英语中考总复习任务型阅读专项练习一Zheng He was a famous Chinese explorer (探险家). In 1405, he set off ① China on the first of seven great voyages (航行). This was nearly a century before Christopher Columbus first set sail on his journey of discovery to America. His travels were so important that they are still studied today.Zheng He was born in Yunnan in 1371. He rose to become a trusted official of the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor ordered Zheng He to visit and explore the lands ② China. His task was to develop relations and set up trade routes (路线) with foreign countries. In a few years, he built a great fleet of ships, the biggest in the world at that time. The ships were known as treasure ships. ③ They were big enough to carry 25, 000 people as well as a large number of goods (货物).From 1405 to 1433, Zheng He went on seven trips and visited South-East Asia, the Middle East and even the east coast of Africa. It seemed that nowhere was too far for him to visit. These voyages allowed China to trade valuable goods like gold, silver and silk. At the end of each voyage, Zheng He returned with many things that were seen in China for the first time, such as a giraffe from Africa. Besides developing trade, the voyages also encouraged the exchange of cultures and technologies. They helped the development of those countries and regions (地区).Zheng He died in 1433 during his last voyage. However, his voyages were such a huge achievement that people still remember him as a pioneer in opening up cultural contacts (联系) between different peoples around the world.1．在文中①和②的空白处填入适当的单词：__________；__________2．回答问题Why did the emperor ask Zheng He to voyage?______________________________________________________________3．将文中画线部分③译成汉语。

Ways to ring in the new yearWhen New Year comes, people like to celebrate the beginning of the year in different ways.

It has greatly changed with thedevelopment of society.Walking was the main way until humans used animals to carry things. More than 5, 000 years ago people made the wheel successfully. This made it possible for animals to pull carts. People can travel faster. They also traveled by water, at first with simple wooden boat.The steam engine (蒸汽机) was invented in the 1700s. It was an important thing in transportation history and it led the transportation into the modern times. Steam-powered boats and ships could easily travel without wind. On land, inventors used it to drive trains. This made railroads develop fast. The late 1800s saw the first successful bicycles and cars. This made quick and easy transportation possible to more people than ever before. People who bought cars needed more and better roads.In 1903 Wilbur and Orville Wright flew the world’s first plane. The invention of the jet engine in the1940s made air travel the fastest transportation in history.The development of transportation has brought problems, however.

(本大题共5分，每小题1分)I have lived in France for nine years, but I cannot walk down the street without being recognized(认出) as an Englishman from 50 metres away before I open my mouth. Why?In France, the quickest way to recognize an Englishman is that he'll be the one with the belly(肚子) and the shirt hanging out. Englishmen often wear shapeless black T-shirts, either too big or too small. However. Frenchmen are more formal in dressing. Their T-shirts have collars(领子). Shorts have buttons and zips rather than drawstrings(拉绳). Shoes look expensive.Englishmen think of lunchtime as 1 p.m. but for Frenchmen it is 12 o'clock, one hour earlier. This may explain the sad looks if an Englishman arrives at a local restaurant at 1:30 p.m. At that time most restaurants don't have waiters. All the cooking and serving may be done by the boss and his wife. When you arc shown to your table, just sit there and wait. Don't wave your hands to the waiters. Englishmen think guests should do something to make the waiters pay attention to them. But in France some bread and water will come first, then the waiters will take your order according to the rhythm(节奏) of the restaurant. Have enough patience!Some 1 between Englishmen and Frenchmen● have lunch at or after 1 pm● do something to attract the3 attention答案differences cost waiter’s/waiters’ less patientBAnger is a natural reaction(反应) which comes out when we feel that we have not been treated fairly. The good side of this negative emotion（负面情绪）is that it has helped us to shape and improve our manners. However it will become a problem if we can’t control i t. For example, sometimes it happens that your anger hurts others or breaks your friendship and you regret later. It is also bad for the health.We should control anger so that it does not cause harm to us or to those we love. One of the best ways to control anger is to get help from others. If you feel that you are unable to manage your anger, it can make more trouble. So tell someone that is close to you, a friend or a family member about your problem. When you discuss a matter with others, there is a better chance to solve your problems. Besides, to be humorous is a good choice to reduce your anger. When you feel that it is because of stress that your anger is out of control, you can use humor. It can help you look at difficult things in a lighter way and you will feel better about the things around you.Anger makes us have a lot of negative thoughts. So we have to change the negative thoughts into positive ones. For this, you must say ‘No’ to all the negative thoughts in your mind first. This can be done with a lot of practice. When you are successful in that, you have to think only about positive things of life.Meditation(冥想)is an excellent anger management way. What’s more, what we do is to keep ourselves from the outer world, and just care about the inner world. This helps us develop a sense of controlling our thoughts that can cause anger.1.treat2. deal3. close4. Refuse5. controlCGraffiti (涂鸦) is a common feature of most Western cities. The word graffiti was from the Greek word, graphein, which only meant writing. These days, however, the word means drawing or writing on the walls of buildings, or the public transportation, such as trains or buses.Graffiti, as a form of expression, was born in New York during the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, a new modern culture about city life appeared. Graffiti was a written form of expression of that life. Later, it was mixed with a musical form called hip-hop that was another expression of the city life.At first, graffiti artists used pens. But then, with the growth of graffiti, they became experienced. They turned to using cans of paint (喷漆). Spray paint enabled (使......能够) them to cover a greater area. And it also enabled them to work quickly, which helped the graffiti artists a lot when they worked in neighborhoods where graffiti wasn’t welcome.At present, different people have different ideas about graffiti. Some people say it makes the cities dirty. Many local governments have ordered people not to make graffiti in the United States. The governments spend more than a million dollars a year cleaning graffiti. The money, they say, could be better spent on health or education. Other people think it is a form of art. In fact, the works of some famous graffiti artists can be found in museums, galleries, and art books.答案1. meaning 2. born 3. possible 4. allowed 5. wasteDWhether we are going to school or going to work, we are all sad to leave the weekend behind and go back to our Monday morning blues. But with the tips, you can get over those blues and face Monday mornings with a smile.Love what you do. If you love what you do, then you won't fear Monday mornings as much.

牛津译林版英语2021届中考专题复习训练—任务型阅读版含答案
阅读下面的短文，完成表格中所缺信息，每空一词。
（A）Beggars are often seen sitting by the side of a street with heads bowed as people pass by. Some ask people passing by for a small amount of money and some just sit and wait to be given money.To solve the problem, another giving plan has been suggested. Ten blue money boxes will be placed in busy places such as the market and the railway station. It aims to encourage people not to give money directly to beggars but instead to give generously to local homeless people.Supporters of this plan think it will be a useful way to solve the beggars’ alcohol and drug problems （酗酒和吸毒）. But the police are against the plan arguing that beggars who do not receive cash may turn to criminality to feed their addictions. The homeless charity “Crisis” said the success of any plan will depend on its style. They think that imaginative and active plans can help create local understanding and sympathy （同情心） instead of hardness. Most of the beggars dislike the plan because they think they will not get enough money from the boxes for their showers, food and clothes.Begging is a big social problem both in developing and developed countries. Government must play a big role in solving this problem. Training beggars to work and helping them to find fit jobs is one option. This is especially true for developing countries where many low-skill jobs exist.The general community should also be educated to see beggars not as dirty and dangerous, but as people who need understanding and help.答案：1. introduction 2. direct 3. successful 4. impossible 5. seen（B）Our country is developing rapidly and a great number of inventions have changed our lives. They make our lives more colourful and convenient（方便的）.I want to share one of China’s “Four Modern Inventions”with you---online shopping.I think online shopping has the following advantages. First, we can choose products by using a simple app. This is especially convenient for old people. Also, there are many types of products to choose from the app, which means you can find nearly all the things you want without having to go to many different shops. Third, there are usually reviews from other customers that can give you a more comprehensive（全面的） look at different online stores and their products.However, there are also some disadvantages. For example, you don’t have the chance to try clothes on before buying them online. It is possible that you might end up buying something that is unsuitable.Also, it can be inconvenient if your products need to be repaired or exchanged for a new one.Online shopping has brought us convenience, but some companies should try harder to create a better online shopping environment.答案1.Online2. Modern3. old4. whatever5. save6.decision7. Disadvantages8. buy9. something 10. improve（C）You must need desks in your life, but how do you know whether you have the right desk? Well, the right desk should be the right size. You should think about the size in terms of how much room you get on the desk. If you need to deal with a lot of paperwork, you are supposed to buy a large desk. If you are short of space, you should be looking for a small desk. The best way, if you are short of space, is to measure （测量） the area where the desk will sit and go with them to the store, and they are usually quite happy to help you get the size right.Also, the right desk should have drawers. Drawers allow you to keep a tidy desk. If you do not have filing cabinets （文件柜）, choose a desk with many drawers —you will probably need them. If you have filing cabinets, one or two drawers should be enough to hold the basics such as keys and snacks.If you are quite short or very tall, there are office furniture shops that have tables with legs that can be adjusted （调节）. With the simple turn of a screw （螺丝）, you can make them become taller or shorter.Look at the material that the desk is made of. The last thing you want is to shop for a desk again in a few years. The best desks are made of hardwood, because they can last for years and years. However, there will be a problem if you are having only a few money —they cost quite a bit of money. There are hardboard desks that are quite good —they do not last as long as hardwood desks but you will get value for your money. You may find desks made of glass, but you must be very sure that they are of high quality before you buy them.The finish （抛光） is just as important as the material the desk is made of. If it gets messed up before the desk is old, you will still want to replace the desk. Look for a great finish that can last as long as the desk is expected to. The best way to do this is to find a desk that you like and then look on the Internet for the kind of finish that it comes with. Again, a wood finish is one of the best that you can get.1. help2. number3. fit4. longer5. Easily（D）Have you ever regretted what you did in the past? Anyone around you will have no difficulty in telling his regrets. As we get older, we look back and wish that we had made better choices.What can we do to prevent this happening?Make better plansIf you begin to do something, you need to make a plan before doing it. The earlier, the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last. You'll also know what you should do and what you shouldn't do. If changes happen, you can have more time to deal with them.Live a more active lifeYou can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed. You also need to be kind. “Thank you”can bring a smile to someone's face. Learn to say “sorry'” and don't be angry with others.Find the right friendA friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well. So you need to think twice when you choose a friend. Good friends will always better your ideas.When you have problems, ask others for help. That little help may get you good results.Never fear failureEverybody fails. Even the greatest person failed. We should not fear failure, because failure is not the end of the road. We must take failure as a chance to learn and improve ourselves.Life is good. We don't have to live in our past, but we do hope that we can plan better, live better, and work better when we have the chance to do so.答案：avoid beginning around Turn better（E）For over 100 years, it is convenient （方便的） for people to go from one place to another by taxi. But sometimes there are no taxis coming to the place you are waiting. However, this has become a thing of the past since Uber app appeared.What is UberUber is an American company that provides a taxi service through an app on the smartphone. It was set up in March, 2009 and has grown quickly. An app, in fact, is a computer program working on smartphones, computers and other communication devices. By using your smartphone, you can easily and quickly order a taxi that takes you to the place you want to go to.Uber app makes you feel goodThe nicest thing about Uber app is that you can see where your taxi is or how long it will take to arrive at your place on your smartphone screen. And when you wait for the taxi, you can call or send messages to the driver because Uber app will give you the telephone number of the driver.Uber taxis are always availableUber is always there 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If you want to go somewhere, you can easily openUber app at home or anywhere in the open air, then it connects you to the nearest driver.Usually it takes only between 5 and 15 minutes to get a Uber taxi by using Uber app.The advantages of UberMany people like Uber because it is simple and very user friendly. You have nothing to do with a taxicompany. If you are not pleased with the ride and the driver, you can write complaints and give the driver a low score through Uber app, so Uber taxi drivers usually serve well. Generally speaking, Uber is simple and time-saving, and most importantly, it is very easy to use.The cost of a Uber taxiAt Uber, the payment is easy through your bank card. How much you need to pay depends on the country and the city that you are in. It is sure that Uber taxis are much cheaper than taxis you used to take.答案：introduction waiting enough In higher（F）There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible（负责） for their own education. Some students do badly in traditional classrooms. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules. But many students will not do well in an open classroom.For some students, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem of getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of students. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their school.You now know what open education is. Some of its good points and bad points have been explained. You may have your own opinion about open education. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only intheory（理论）.The writer believes that most students, but of course not all students, want some structure in their classes. They want and need to have some rules. In some cases, they must be made to study some subjects. Most of the students are pleased to find subjects they have to study interesting. They would not study those subjects if they did nothave to.interested fun/pleasure/happiness/joy manage against work（G）Things adults should learn from kidsChildren can teach adults a lot. In other words, there are many things adults can learn from children.For example, kids tend to show love. Every action they do for parents, friends, pets, and people they like, is full of love. They don’t think twice before loving, and they just love. So adults can learn this: the best way to receive love is to first give it.Kids never hide feelings. They cry when they hurt themselves, and express displeasure when things don’t go their way. On the contrary, we adults always try to hide our feelings, and never express ourselves sincerely. Crying or expressing oneself is what normal people do. Never hold back tears or happiness. If you want to cry, cry your eyes out. And if you are happy o r pleased about something, don’t be afraid to show or share it.Kids are curious little beings. They are thirsty for knowledge, and ask lots of questions every day. This curious nature guides their life, and often leads them to simple yet wonderful discoveries. Are adults as curious as kids? Well, most of us aren’t. Also, they no longer have the thirst for knowledge, and don’t even ask questions if they don’t understand something.Kids live in the present, and give 100% to any task they are doing. They never worry about the future. Since they are so busy enjoying their present, life is great today. However, with a job, money, and relationships, it does get hard for an adult to enjoy life. The best thing to do here is to change oneself, and if that isn’t possible, we can live like a child. Just don’t be worried about the future, because it isn’t in your control.答案：9. difficulty/problems/trouble 10.controlled 1. filled 2. receiving 3. Never/Don't 4. refuse5. whether6.many7. Most8. at。

These are the necessary tasks bottle, the voluntary（自愿的）tasks bottle and the happiness bottle.Every day, we spend time filling the necessary tasks bottle with useful things, like making money, doing housework, buying food and paying bills. We then fill another bottle with voluntary tasks. These are things that we do for others, but we may not enjoy them. This bottle gets filled with tasks like taking children to activities, cooking family meals, and doing laundry. Those bottles are very important. If we don’t fill them each day, our family won’t run properly.However, we often forget to fill the third bottle ---- the happiness bottle that we fill with activities that make us happy. Is your happiness bottle sometimes empty at the end of the day? Between doing all the necessary and voluntary tasks, time flies by, and before we know it, it is time for bed. We all have days like that.This is why each day we have to make an effort to fill our happiness bottle. I fill mine by going to the dancing class. And I always leave classes more happily than when I enter. This week, I had the pleasure of taking part in a guitar practice in my neighborhood. We show our musical talent and practice music for charity. It was a time of fun, friendship and music-making. At the end of the evening, my happiness bottle was filled to top.Will your activities bring joy to your life? Or are the other two tasks eating up all your time? Try to find ways to achieve a balance between how you fill your three bottles. At the end of the day, hopefully we’ve done all we can to make sure that our happin ess bottle is filled.任务型阅读66.way 67.full 68.paying 69.voluntary 70.taking71.family 72.happiness 73.go 74 .achieve 75.hopefulB. 阅读下面的短文，完成表格中所缺信息，每空一词。

You should have a few set times every day when you’ll read for at least 5—10 minutes, no matter what happens. For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch (and even dinner if you eat alone).Always carry a book, No matter where you go, take a book with you. When you leave the house, make sure to have at least one book. You may keep the book in the car, or into the office or to anywhere you go, unless you' re sure you won’ t have time to read.Make a list, Keep a list of all the great books you want to read. You can keep this in a pocket notebook. Be sure to add to it whenever you hear about a good book. Keep a running list, and cross out the ones you have read.Find a quiet place. Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair without television or computer near the chair. There should be no music or noisy family members. Set a high aim. For example. Tell yourself that you want to read 50 books this year. Do your best to finish reading them. Just be sure you' re still enjoying the reading.Title: Ways to (66) _______ a lifetime reading habitSet times ●Read for at least 5-10 minutes, no matter what(67)______.●Make it a (68)_______to read during breakfast and lunch.Always carry a book ●Carry at least one book when(69)______the house.●Keep the book no matter(70)_______ you go.Make a(71) _______●(72)_______to it when you hear about a good book.●Cross out the ones you have read.Find a quiet place●Sit in a (73)_______ chair.●Make sure no music or noisy family members trouble you.(74)______a high aim●Do your (75)_______ to finish reading them.●Be sure to enjoy the reading.66.___________ 67.___________ 68. ___________ 69. ___________ 70. ___________71.___________ 72.___________ 73. ___________ 74.___________ 75. ___________六、阅读短文，回答问题（每小题2分，共10分）Why are so many people so afraid to fail? Quite simply because no one tells us how to face the failure . In fact, failure can become experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.Most parents work hard to prevent failure or protect their children. One way is to lower standards. Nearly 60% of the parents choose this way. When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect” even though it doesn’t stand still. The other way is to blame others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.There’s a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for the real life if they don’t meet enough failure. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everyth ing, no one can win all the time. The young should be allowed to experience failure.Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both grown-ups and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it.六、回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过5个词。

最新中考任务型阅读任务型阅读1In many parts of the world, there are four seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter. In the U.S., there are only three: football, basketball and baseball. That's not completely true, but almost. In every season, Americans have a ball. If you want to know what season it is, just look at what people are playing. For many Americans, sports do not just occupy the sidelines. They take center court.Besides "the big three" sports, Americans play a variety of other sports. In warm weather, people enjoy water sports. Lovers of surfing, sailing and scuba diving flock to the ocean. Swimmers and water skiers also revel in the wet stuff. Fishermen try their luck in ponds, lakes and rivers. In winter sportsmen delight in freezing fun. From the first snowfall, skiers hit the slopes. Frozen ponds and ice rinks become playgrounds for skating and hockey. People play indoor sports whatever the weather. Racquetball, weightlifting and bowling are year-round activities.For many people in the U.S., sports are not just for fun. They're almost a religion. Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to watch their favorite teams and athletes play in person. Other fans watch the games at home, glued to their TV sets. The most devoted sports buffs never miss a game. Many a wife becomes a "sports widow" during her husband's favorite season. America's devotion to athletics has created a new class of wealthy people: professional athletes. Sports stars often receive million-dollar salaries. Some even make big money appearing in advertisements for soft drinks, shoes and even toiletries.(1) in America “the big three”sportsa variety ofother sportssports are a(9)footballbasketball（2）outdoorsports(6)sports(7)weightlifting(8)in warmweatherin coldweatherwatersports(3)sailingscuba diving(4)water skiingskiing(5)hockeysports fanswatch games in (10)任务型阅读2Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, h owever, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need th ese things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients (contents) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.main topic:suggestions for _____(1)___suggestio ns Never go into asupermarket whenyou___(2)__hungry!need aneducation inhow and hownot to buythings at thestorebuy ordinary itemsinstead of famous_(3)_.read ads with_(4)___of thepsychologybehind theads._(5)_ for the suggestio ns It is _(6)_ to buymore than youplan to.consumers canmake a wise__(7)_the prices of__(8)_items arerelatively low becauseproducersspend__(9)_money onpackagingads sometimesdon’t tell the__(10)_任务型阅读3Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and , the number of such reasons is small . Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches, which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the center and so preventing the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk of death as far as possible. It is important to make the area, which has been pruned, smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the materials available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually done in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly.Pruning treesA good gardener prunes a tree when (-1)_______.(2)_______ for pruning trees.First, make the trees in (5) _______ shape or size.Second, make the trees (6) _______.One (3) _______ of pruning trees.

Life at the university is soexciting and challenging.There are two campuses for our university: one is for freshmen and sophomores and the other is for juniors, seniors and graduate students. My campus is located on the outskirts of the city, which is a new one, very peaceful and free from the hustle and bustle of a metropolis. It is free from all sorts of distractions and diversions that most city dwellers find it hard to escape or ignore.We have a three-day orientation programme about campus life for entering students, including a campus tour in which we can visit libraries, classroom buildings, language labs, the multimedia resource center, computer support services, the student club, and the sports stadium.We freshmen have access to all these resources and technical facilities on a regular basis. They areopen to all students. As a matter of fact, we’re enc ouraged to make the most of the libraries and technical support services on the campus.We all live on campus, as the school rules say that no freshmen should live off campus duringthe weekdays, unless the university authorities give permission. We prefer to eat in schoolcafeterias because there is a variety of foods on the menu, which changes every day. Besides, thefood service is much better than that of most secondary schools. For one thing, our campus cafeterias are under the management of a professional food service company with anannually-renewable contract.Being an English major, we have to speak English with our fellow students and English teachers most of the time. We are expected to speak English with all our English teacherswhatever courses they teach. We’re also encouraged to speak English in the dorm area as much as possible.

As their children began moving up through the nation’s schools, they became a main stream of a new class of academic achievers. Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities, where mathematics, science, and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. Their preference for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid foundation in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering then with an arts degree.Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of their parents who are determined to make full use of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that results in success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.Both explanations for academic success worry Asian American because of fears that they feeda typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants werethe victims of social isolation.

This should set alarm bells ringing because the bare fact is that, in order for everyone to survive, serious changes need to be made in global development. This development needs to be different from past development, which polluted the environment and wasted natural resources.One possible solution to this problem now being discussed is sustainable development. Sustainable development is long-term planning which focus on the environment and preserving natural resources. It is all about creating better health care, education, housing and improved standards of living for everyone. This is a simple idea, but one which is hard to put into practice. However, it is something that we must do because without sustainable development, our future and the lives of our children and our grandchildren will be in danger.Nearly everything we do in our modern lives requires the use of Earth’s natural resources. These natural resources provide the energy to do many important things: to have a shower, to boil water,to power electrical equipment and to turn oil into petrol. The list is almost endless. To do all these things we mostly depend on fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil to produce energy.Fossil fuels are found underground and are non-renewable sources of energy, which means that they can not be renewed in a short period of time. We are currently consuming fossil fuels at a much higher rate than they are being produced. If this continues, some people believe that oilfields and coal seams will run out in the foreseeable future.On top of this, burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide, which is like poison to the environment. Carbon dioxide contributes to air, water and soil pollution and causes global warming and acid rain. This is why many people are pushing for the use of alternative energy sources.Fill in each blank with a suitable word:A gift for the future→ _______1______ developmentThe importance of ______2_______ development →_____3________→_______4____________5_______ of energy →______6_______ fuels →______7_______of them→Features _____8_____________9______ to theenvironment→_____10_______ energy任务型阅读7An Event of ImaginationThe year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.On 17 July, a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth's atmosphere with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the seabed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north won't escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, and temperature around the world falls to almost zero. Crops are ruined. The sun won't be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million remain alive.Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. Thedinosaurs (恐龙) were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn't live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?请根据以上文章，完成下列表格：Reasons ResultsOne piece hits the South Atlantic at 200 times 1 2 the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the seabed.

The microprocessor card can add. delete, and deal with the information on the card, while a memory-chip card can only do one thing.Smart cards, unlike magnetic stripe cards, can do many different things and hold a lot of information. In this way, they do not need to get information from a faraway place when they are used.Today, there are several kinds of smart cards, all of which are very popular in the market:IC (Integrated Circuit) Microprocessor Cards Microprocessor Cards (chip cards) offer a larger memory and better security than the traditional magnetic stripe cards do. Chip cards can also hold data. These cards are used for many things. Thus, chips have been the main platform for cards that hold a secure digital identity. Some examples of these cards are:Cards that hold money.Cards that provide safe access to a network.Cards that allow setting stop boxes on televisions to remain safe from privacy.Optical Memory Cards Optical memory cards look like cards with a piece of CD on the top. Optical memory cards can store up to 4MB of data. But once written, the data can not be changed or removed. Thus, this type of card is good for keeping records, such as medical files, driving records or travel histories. Today, these have no processors in them (although this is coming in the near future). While the cards are almost as cheap as chip cards, the card readers are expensive.Title: (1)_______________cardsTypes (3)________________ Disadvantages SimilaritiesIC Chip Cards A larger memory &Better (4)___________Hold data Not mentioned PopularityLarge (10)____Low cost ofcardsOptical(2)___________ cards Store much dataGood for (5)_________Drivers and (6)_______to keep records(7)_______ not much(8)________ dataNo processorsExpensive card(9)___________任务型阅读9Since the beginning of human evolution, men have migrated（迁移）across continents in search of food, shelter, safety, and comfortable weather. People still move for these reasons, but new reasons for human migration are arising, such as job relocation(重新安置) and overpopulation.Three million migrants are moving from poor countries to wealthier ones each year, and increasingly, their destination is a neighboring country in developing parts of the world. People are moving within the developing world for the same reasons as they migrate to wealthier nations. People from poor countries are going to less poor countries, fleeing wars and conflicts. They are also responding to population pressures because some countries are densely populated, and theyoften have high population growth. Those people need to go somewhere else.There are three main reasons why people move. The basic categories and percentages are as follows, according to the Current Population Surveys (CPS):Family-related reasons account for 26.3%, including changes in marital（婚姻的）status, establishing a household and other family reasons; work-related reasons 16.2%, including job transfer, retirement, and other job-related reasons; housing-related reasons 51.6%, including new and better houses, better neighborhood, cheaper housing and other housing reasons; the remaining 5.9% of other reasons are attending college, the change of climate and health reasons.Americans have been migrating south and west for decades in search of better job opportunities and warmer climates. They have also been moving to places a little far from cities, in search of bigger yards and houses, lower crime rates and better schools. In 1950, nearly a fifth of the population lived in the nation’s 20 largest cities. In 2006, it was about one in ten. That’s why many American people say, “Big Cities Shrink as People Move South, West.”Between March 2005 and March 2007, 73.4 million Americans moved. Fifty-six percent of these moves were within the same country. Twenty percent were between counties but in the same state. Nineteen percent were moves to a different state. Some families even went abroad.Title: People on the 1Lead-in Throughout human 2 , people have migrated across continents.An 3 number of people from poor countries are moving to 74 countries, especially neighboring ones._5 for people’s migration According to the CPS, the 6 of people move to other places for reasons 7 to housing.Americans have long been moving south and west, looking 8 a better job chance, a warmer 9 and a bigger yard, etc.Conclusion Now every year more and more people move to other places, which seems to have become a global 10 .任务型阅读10A new set of brain images shows why : Reading the Roman alphabets and Chinese characters uses different parts of the brain.The results also suggest that Chinese schoolchildren have reading problems in a different part of the brain used in reading alphabet-based languages. This shows that the learning disorder dyslexia ( inability to read properly) is not the same in very culture and does not have a universal biological cause.Scientists described the results as “ very important and revolutionary”. While dyslexia has certain common roots, they said, they now have some proof that this kind of functional problem works differently according to the different demands that Western and Eastern languages place on the brain.Dyslexia is a common developmental disorder in which people of normal intelligence have difficulty learning to read, spell and master other language skills.The results suggest that treating dyslexia around the world probably will require different treatments.“Reading is complex,” said Guinevere Eden, Georgetown University professor. “ This shows we need to be more open-minded about diverse treatment approaches.”Its origins are complex. There appears to be a genetic aspect to the illness. It also may result from brain injury before birth that changes visual and hearing pathways in the brain.Earlier brain scans show that English-reading dyslexics don’t function properly in a left part of the brain associated with the awareness of 44 sounds from the English alphabet. However, according to the new study, reading Chinese uses some different parts of the brain located in the left-front of the brain. It is associated with symbol interpretation. Unlike alphabet letters, Chinese characters represent entire thoughts and physical objects.DyslexiaDefinition a learning(1)______ in which people of averageIQ find it (2)_____to learn to read and acquire otherlanguage skillsOrigins Genetic causes or brain (3)______ before birth,which affects (4) and hearing abilitiesFinding of the earlier study (5)_____reading dyslexics don’t function properlyin a left part of the brainDiscovery of the new study Reading Chinese uses the(6) _____part of the brain Conclusion Reading Roman alphabets and reading Chinesecharacters place different(7)____on the brain.

This dream began to seem possible when high-flying rockets were built in the early 1900s.In 1903 a Russian teacher named Konstantin Tsiolkovsky figured out how to use rockets for space travel. His plan was the first one in rocket science to use correct scientific calculation. About 30 years later, a U.S. scientist named Robert Goddard built the first rockets that could reach high altitudes. During World War II, German scientists built large rockets that could travel very far and carry dangerous explosives. After the war, scientists from Germany went to the United States and the Soviet Union to help those countries build space rockets.These two countries were soon racing to get to space first. Each of these countries wanted to prove that it was stronger and more advanced than the other one. Both countries also had powerful bombs. People in the United States were worried when the Soviets were first to launch a space satellite, which was called Sputnik. The Soviets were also first to send a person into space. Y ury Gagarin orbited the earth in the V ostok I spaceship in 1961.The US government set a goal for its space program to be the first country to put a person on the Moon. The U.S. space program built a series of Apollo spaceship. These vehicles werepowered by huge Saturn 5 rockets. In 1969 Apollo II took three men to the moon successfully. Nell Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon.The Soviets may have lost the race to fly people to the Moon, but they built the first space station in 1971. The United States also built a space station. The space stations allowed people to live and work in space. Then the Soviet Union and the United States cooperated to hook two spaceships together in space. This action ended the "space race". Today a much larger space station, built by several countries together, orbits Earth.Another new way to go to space is by space shuttle. A space shuttle, first made in the United States in 1981, looks like an airplane.

9年级中考专项练习之任务型阅读1With air pollution making much difference to many of Chinese cities, parents are calling for the installation(安装) of air cleaners in classrooms. T here has been much debate over whether air cleaners should be used in China’s schools. Some parents have donated c leaners to their children’s classrooms, while others raise money together to make the purchase(购买). “Our school bought air cleaners last year. We did a little fund raising, with each parent throwing in several hundred for that,” said one parent.However, the idea of installing air cleaners for all the classes has been refused by some schools. Liu Liangcheng, vice-principal of Beijing’s Taipinglu Primary School, says installing air cleaners bought by parents may lead to problems. “We have refused air cleaners bought by parents before, as there are clear and strict rules against educational fees. We can’t just break the rules here. And without standard guidance (指示) from local authorities(权威部门), it is hard to decide on the brand of the cleaner, installation and even safety of the device(设备).”Moreover, experts say air cleaners can cause other health problems. Deng Gaofeng who works for the China Academy of Building Research says. “ In the classroom, if we keep windows and doors closed, the concentrations (浓度) of CO2will double from 1,000 PPM to some 2,000 PPM. According to national safety standards, the highest level should not be more than 1,500.” In addition, experts say air cleaners on the mark et are mostly designed for homes or offices. Evaluation(评估) is needed to know whether they are suitable in classrooms.It seems whether air cleaners should enter China’s schools is an ong oing question. It still requires a more detailed plan.Topic : Should air cleaners be installed for students in school?Persons 1Parents They support the installation of the air cleaners by 2 money to make the purchase.Schools ● Installing air cleaners bought by parents breaks the rules of educational fees.● Considering the safety of the device, we have difficulty making a 3 about which one to buy.Experts● They think air cleaners may be 4 to students’ health.1.

Insights into Chinese Culture (中国文化读本)As an overview of Chinese culture, this book shows many ways of Chinese culture, they include Chinese customs, scenic spots, science and technology, folk art, literature and international cultural exchanges. Many people consider it as a perfect start for anyone who wants to learn about China.2. Quotations from Confucius (孔子语录)This book keeps most of the words and thoughts from Confucius, who is the greatest educator and thinker in history. People around the world think Confucius’ teaching ideas and philosophy are still working in today’s education.3. Chinese Folk Art series (中国民间艺术系列读本)Published by Shanghai People’s Fine Arts Publishing House, each book focuses on one folk art, such as paper-cutting, clothing and Chinese New Year picture. Readers can enjoy the beautiful photos while learning the history and development of each art.4. Chinese Characters (中国汉字)This book offers us a main introduction about the wonderful culture of Chinese characters. Learning the most difficult language in the world can be very interesting with enough examples.5.

To greet each other or to say goodbye, most people raise their hand and move it from side to side. One famous wave is made by the Queen. You can watch a video to see how Her Majesty(女王陛下)does her tasteful (高雅的)wave.The V SignYou may just be trying to spread peace and love，but if you are in the UK，please pay attention to where your hand is facing. Let the back of your hand face yourself, or it becomes an impolite gesture.PointingThis is not used as an insult(侮辱)，but it is an impolite action when in public.

I can buy and eat whatever I want simply with my phone," said Lin Jinlong, an overseas Chinese student from Cambodia, adding that "even pancake sellers are using Alipay (mobile payment)."We can also order food at home, which is super convenient. If I were at home in Cambodia, I would have to go outdoors."The bikes themselves are not new, but the operating model of bike-sharing is based on satellite navigation system, mobile payment, big data and other high technologies.Shared bikes are bringing cycling back to people's lives. They are making public transport more attractive and convenient, and encouraging people to be more active.With regard to the "new four great inventions", Charlie Dai said these products and services have definitely made customer experience better, boosting national and global economy at the same time.Lin cited his experience of traveling by Chinese high-speed train from Beijing to the coastal city of Tianjin more than 100 km away. The journey takes only half an hour, while in Cambodia, which has only two railways, such a journey may take up to three hours.Wu said Lin's view suggests youths of countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative wish their home countries would emulate(仿真) China in terms of technological achievements.China’s new four great ____1__Introduction The four great inventions, related to China's high-tech innovation improved the quality of people's livesHigh-speed railways Wallets are _2__ more in use.

Some parents send their children to the best schools or even foreign countries, for example, England, the US or Australia although it costs much. Many also want their children to take after-school activities. Their children either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is, so parents often spend a big amount of money on education. Even poor couples buy a computer for their son or daughter.However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children's skills vary; they will usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today's children lack confidence.The problem is that parents only care about their children on how to achieve high marks in exams. They are not teaching children the most important skills that can be helpful to their growth. These skills can also build their confidence.Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, cleaning and other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking requires patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. The result, a well cooked dinner, will give a child a lot of satisfaction and confidence.An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy may makehim curious. If he spends hours looking at it, and trying to repair it, your child might become an engineerwhen he grows up. It’s better to do such act ivities than teach a child to read a book. These activities can teach them to think and to use their minds.1 educate 2. generous 3. abroad 4give 5. a fford 6.Bad7Cooking 8. Repairing 9.
