But the 16 would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith 17 more remarkable.After spotting a 18 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the 19 to return.After hours in the cold and wet, he 20 inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact（联系）the driver, onlyto 21 it contained £400 in notes, with another £50 in spare change beside it.He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 22 a note behind to let the owner know it was safe. When the car’s owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car—which was itself worth £35, 000—in Glasgow city centre, they were 23 to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was 24 .The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his 25 .Mr. Anderson said：＂I couldn’t believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight 26 he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has nothing and27 he didn’t take the wallet for himself；he thought aboutothers 28 . It’s unbelievable. It just proves thereare 29 guys out there.＂Mr. Smith’s act 30 much of the public’s attention. He also won praise from social media users after Mr. Anderson 31 about the act of kindness on Facebook.Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to 32 money for Mr. Smith and other homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received ￡8,000. ＂I think the faith that everyone has shown 33 him has touched him. People have been approaching him in the street; he’s had job 34 and all sorts,＂ Mr. Anderson commented.For Mr. Smith, this is a possible life-changing 35 .

Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was ＂not athletic＂.The idea that I was ＂not athletic＂ stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt t hat I couldn’t even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: ＂GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!＂By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.

The Center offers programs designed to challenge and inspire with hands-on tasks and lots of fun.More than 750,000 have graduated from SAC, with many seeking employment in engineering, aviation, education, medicine and a wide variety of other professions. They come to camp, wanting to know what it is like to be an astronaut or a pilot, and they leave with real-world applications for what they’re studying in the classroom.For the trainees, the programs also offer a great way to earn merit badges(荣誉徽章). At Space Camp, trainees can earn their Space Exploration badge as they buildand fire model rockets, learn about space tasks and try simulated(模拟) flying to space with the crew from all over the world. The Aviation Challenge program gives trainees the chance to earn their Aviation badge. They learn the principles of flight and test their operating skills in the cockpit(驾驶舱) of a variety of flight simulators. Trainees also get a good start on their Wilderness Survival badge as they learn about water- and land-survival through designed tasks and their search and rescue of ＂downed＂ pilot.With all the programs, teamwork is key as trainees learn the importance of leadership and being part of a bigger task.All this fun is available for ages 9 to 18. Families can enjoy the experience together, too, with Family Camp programs for families with children as young as 7.Stay an hour or stay a week — there is something here for everyone!For more details, please visit us online at .40．Why do people come to SAC?A．To experience adventures.B．To look for jobs in aviation.C．To get a degree in engineering.D．To learn more about medicine.41．To earn a Space Exploration badge, a trainee needs to .A．fly to spaceB．get an Aviation badge firstC．study the principles of flightD．build and fire model rockets42．What is the most important for trainees?A．Leadership.

Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms’ chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass —apparently broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms’ stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic. ＂Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, ＂she explains, ＂The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. ＂Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.＂43．What can we learn about the worms in the study?A．They take plastics as their everyday food.B．They are newly evolved creatures.C．They can consume plastics.D．They wind up in landfills.44．According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .A．identify other means of the breakdownB．find out the source of the enzymeC．confirm the research findingsD．increase the breakdown speed45．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .A．help to raise wormsB．help make plastic bagsC．be used to clean the oceansD．be produced in factories in future46．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To explain a study method on worms.B．To introduce the diet of a special worm.C．To present a way to break down plastics.D．To propose new means to keep eco-balance.4、 Preparing Cities for Robot CarsThe possibility of self-driving robot c ars has often seemed like a futurist’s dream, years away from materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn’t leading the way here. Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It’s hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehiclescan help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放) and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.Do we want to copy — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(叫车) services.A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施) and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of self-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题). But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn’t extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.47．According to the author, attention should be paid to how driverless cars can __________.A．help deal with transportation-related problemsB．provide better services to customersC．cause damage to our environmentD．make some people lose jobs48．As for driverless cars, what is the author’s major concern?A．Safety. B．Side effects.C．Affordability. D．Management.49．What does the underlined word ＂fielded＂ in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Employed. B．Replaced.C．Shared. D．Reduced.50．What is the author’s attitude t o the future of self-driving cars?A．Doubtful. B．Positive.C．Disapproving. D．Sympathetic.5、 Why Do We Get Angry?Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering（触发）events, personality traits（特征）, and our assessment of situations. 51．Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. 52． The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits.Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. 53． Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.54．Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.55．However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.A．Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.B．But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.C．Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.D．Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.E.Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.F.Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.G.Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.四、作文（共2题）1、（2018·北京）假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你的英国朋友Jim在给你的邮件中提到他对中国文化感兴趣，计划明年来北京上大学。

八上冀教版英语14课手写笔记
八上冀教版英语14课手写笔记Handwritten notes have long been a staple in the learning process, serving as a powerful tool for students to consolidate their understanding and enhance their retention of material. In the context of the Grade 8 Hebei Education Edition English curriculum, Lesson 14 provides a unique opportunity for students to engage deeply with the content through the practice of note-taking. This essay will explore the benefits of handwritten notes, outline effective note-taking strategies, and offer a detailed example of how to approach note-taking for this specific lesson.Research has shown that the act of writing by hand can significantly improve memory retention. When students take handwritten notes, they are more likely to process theinformation deeply, as the physical act of writing requires more cognitive engagement than typing. This deeper processing helps to reinforce learning and make the information more memorable.Handwritten notes also aid in comprehension. By summarizing and paraphrasing the material in their own words, students can better understand the concepts being taught. This active engagement with the content encourages students to think critically about what they are learning, which in turn improves their overall understanding.Taking notes by hand allows for a level of personalization and creativity that digital note-taking often lacks. Students can use different colors, symbols, and diagrams to highlight key points and organize information in a way that makes sense to them. This personalized approach can make studying more enjoyable and effective.One effective strategy for note-taking is outlining. This involves organizing the main points and subpoints of the lesson in a structured format. Outlining helps students to clearly see the hierarchy of information and understand how different concepts are related.Mind mapping is another useful technique, especially for visual learners. This strategy involves creating a visual diagram that represents the main ideas of the lesson and their connections. Mind maps can help students to see the big picture and how individual pieces of information fit together.The Cornell Method is a systematic format for condensing and organizing notes. This method divides the paper into three sections: notes, cues, and summary. The notes section is used for writing down the main points during the lesson. The cues section, located on the left, is for keywords and questions thatarise from the notes. The summary section at the bottom is for summarizing the key points after the lesson. This method encourages students to review and reflect on their notes, enhancing retention and understanding.Lesson 14 in the Grade 8 Hebei Education Edition English curriculum covers the topic of environmental conservation. The lesson focuses on key vocabulary related to the environment, important grammatical structures, and practical ways that students can contribute to conservation efforts.Students should begin their notes by listing the key vocabulary words introduced in the lesson. This could include words like “sustainable,” “recycle,” “pollution,” and “conservation.” Writing down the definitions and examples of each word can help solidify their understanding.Next, students should take note of any important grammatical structures covered in the lesson. For example, if the lesson includes the use of modal verbs to express necessity (e.g., “must,” “should,” “have to”), students should write down example sentences and any relevant rules or exceptions.The main content of the lesson likely includes various ways to help the environment. Students should outline these points clearly, perhaps using bullet points or a numbered list. For instance:Reducing plastic use by opting for reusable bags and containersRecycling paper, glass, and metal to reduce wasteConserving water by taking shorter showers and fixing leaksParticipating in local clean-up events to remove litter from public spacesAt the end of their notes, students should include a summary of the key points covered in the lesson. This summary should be concise, highlighting the most important aspects of environmental conservation discussed in the lesson. Additionally, students could reflect on how they might apply these conservation strategies in their own lives.Handwritten notes are an invaluable tool for students, offering numerous benefits such as enhanced memory retention, improved comprehension, and the ability to personalize and creatively engage with the material. By employing effective note-taking strategies like outlining, mind mapping, and the Cornell Method, students can maximize their learning from Lesson 14 in the Grade 8 Hebei Education Edition English curriculum. Through diligent note-taking and reflection, students can deepen their understanding of environmentalconservation and be inspired to take action in their own communities.。

(T)4.The high-low method is generally less accurate than the least-squares regression method foranalyzing the behaviour of mixed costs. (T)5.The high-low method should be preceded by a scatter graph plot. (T)6.Because the least-squares regression method is more accurate, a scattergraph plot isunnecessary. (F)7.The break-even point in units can be obtained by dividing total fixed expenses by thecontribution margin ratio. (F)8.For a given level of sales, a low contribution margin ratio will produce less net income than ahigh contribution margin ratio.
