8上Unit3 阅读理解8篇Passage 1（2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习）Are you shy sometimes? The answer from 16-year-old Liu Yuexian is “Yes”. “When my teacher asked me to come to the blackboard, I was too nervous to work out the problem,” said Liu. “I thought everyone was looking at me.”Do you feel the same as Liu? Experts have found that more than 80 per cent of middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention. Shyness means feeling frightened when you’re around other people. Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences. It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people.In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just a case of how much. Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are smarter because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. You see, being shy isn’t all bad. But remember not to let good opportunities pass you by just because of it. If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practise spoken English in front of others, just do it! There’s nothing to be afraid of.1．________ of middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention.A．Less than 80% B．More than 80% C．Less than 60% D．All2．What does the underlined word “frightened” mean?A．兴奋的B．勇敢的C．自信的D．害怕的3．What can we learn from the third paragraph?A．Shyness can’t st op you from doing something you want to do.B．Being shy isn’t a very big problem.C．If shyness stops you from doing something you want to do, it is bad for you.D．All kinds of shyness are good for you.4．Why are shy people smarter according to some experts?A．Because they are good at working.B．Because they think less and talk more.C．Because they think more and talk less.D．Because they can speak in front of others.5．What’s the passage mainly about?A．Shyness is bad for everyone.B．Shyness is not all bad and we should be brave.C．Shyness is good for everyone.D．We should practise spoken English by ourselves.Passage 2（2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习）As time goes by, are you still the same person you used to be? Many of you would think you are. But according to a new study, your personality can change greatly. You could be a completely different person at 77, compared to when you were a 14-year-old, reported The Huffington Post.Psychologists at the UK’s University of Edinburgh did the study on a group of Scottish peop le. The research found that almost everyone’s personality changed when they grew old. The findings are published in a journal called Psychology and Aging.The research is based on a study that began in 1950. A group of teachers gave more than 1,200 14-year-old students personality tests. They tested six basic personality traits: self-confidence, conscientiousness, perseverance, desire to excel, creativity and moods.In 2012, researchers successfully found 174 of the 1,200 students, who were 77 years old on average at the time. They agreed to take a personality test similar to the one they had completed 63 years earlier.Researchers then compared the then-and-now test results. They were surprised to find great changes to all six personality traits of these people. Moods and conscientiousness had changed less. But there were still not too many similarities between the two results.The younger and older self seemed to be totally different for each person. It was “as if the second tests had been given to differen t people,” the study’s authors noted.In the past, personality was widely believed to be stable. William James, the father of American psychology, said that personality is “set like plaster”. This new study may bring some fresh ideas to the theory.6．Psych ologists at the UK’s University of Edinburgh did a study on________.A．Chinese people B．Scottish peopleC．British people D．American people7．In the study in 1950, teachers gave more than 1,200 14-year-old students________ tests.A．sight B．language C．personality D．oral English8．How many basic personality traits did the teachers test in 1950?A．One. B．Five. C．Six. D．Seven.9．According to the study, we can learn that________.A．there are too many similarities between the younger and older selfB．the younger and older self are different for each personC．the younger and older self are similar for each personD．there is no differences between the younger and older self10．What does the passage mainly tell us?A．Personality is stable. B．Everyone has the same personality.C．Personality may change as people grow older. D．The results of the study are the same.Passage 3（2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习）What makes us who we are? This question has two typical answers. One is the environment that surrounds us when we grow up, and the other is our genes. In English, this is called the “nature vs nurture debate”. Nature means genes, whereas nurture means environment, including the people around you.There is a famous saying: “Give me a child until the age of 7 and I’ll show you the man.” The meaning is that the environment in the early part of our life has the biggest effect on our adult life. Now, there is scientific research to support this famous saying.Scientists at the universities of Exeter, UK and Hamburg, Germany did studies on birds. They found that their personalities were affected most by the birds around them when they grew up—more so than genes. They watched small birds in new environments, and wrote down how much they explored. Birds that grew up with very curious birds were more curious themselves.Nick Royle from the University of Exeter in the UK said the research was surprising because it shows that “for these birds, personality is mainly determined by environment.” However, human personalities are a lot more comp licated than birds, so there is much we still don’t know. The nature vs nurture debate will continue for a longtime, if not forever.11．According to the first paragraph, nature means ________, and nurture means________.A．environment; genes B．genes; environmentC．child; adult D．adult; child12．________ has great impact on our adult life.A．The environment in our early life B．The environment in our old lifeC．The gene in our early life D．The gene in our adult life13．Scientists from the two universities did studies on________.A．human B．adults C．birds D．children14．The study in the third paragraph tells us________.A．gene is the most important to the birds’ personalityB．environment is the most important to the birds’ personalityC．the personality of birds is not related to environmentD．the personality of birds is not related to gene15．Human personalities are________birds.A．simpler than B．more complicated thanC．less complicated than D．as simple asPassage 4（2023秋·全国·八年级专题练习）Every country shares things in common: we value family and laughter, cherish food and health, and celebrate large festivals and traditions. Yet within the similar things we share, there are unique parts of each country. One characteristic that is famous of British people is their sense of humor, particularly self-mockery.This is a type of humor that criticizes and undervalues oneself. For example, a fat person may joke: “I’m on a new sea food diet. If I see food, I eat it.” This is a well-known self-mockery joke. Famous British writer Oscar Wilde once said: “I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a word that I am saying.”It’s difficult to say why self-mockery is tied to the British people. But every nation’s sense of humor comes from its culture and history. It could come from another British characteristic, modesty, meaning to not highlight or talk openly about your skills. This seems to be something that is similar with the Chinese people, where modesty plays a big part in daily life.It also acts as a defense of our self-esteem by playing down our skills. This can lessen the chances of people criticizing us.Another possible reason is that on average, the British people don’t take themselves too seriously. So mocking themselves is simply a healthy result of this.16．________ is a characteristic among British people.A．Self-mockery B．Laughing at othersC．Cooking D．Modesty17．The two examples in the second paragraph can be called “________”.A．overvaluation B．self-mockery C．skill D．criticism18．Every nation’s sense of humor comes from its ________.A．history B．culture C．history and culture D．economy and culture19．For Chinese people, ________is important in daily life.A．joke B．modesty C．criticism D．self-mockery20．Self-mockery can________.A．reduce our abilitiesB．make others criticize usC．lessen the chances of people criticizing usD．enhance our skillsPassage 5（2022秋·八年级校考单元测试）Friends are very important in everyone’s life because friends are always there when we need them. It’s great to have many friends, and I can’t thi nk about my life without my friends.My best friend is Lisa. When I first met her, I was five. She is one year older than me. Now she is in the same class with me, in the 7th grade. She is tall and quite thin. She has long curly blond hair and blue eyes. I am not so beautiful. Sometimes I wish I could be as beautiful as she is.My name’s Molly. I am tall enough but a little fat. Lisa and I like doing a lot of things together and talking about different things. She always helps me with my math and I sometimes help her with her English and history. I had to do a report (报告) on science once, but I didn’t understand (理解) what the teacher said. The next day, I read it in front of the class. But the teacher told me that my report was wrong and all my classmates laughed at (嘲笑)me. I felt very bad about myself. Lisa was the only one who didn’t laugh at me. She tried to be nicer than anybody else and make me happy.I am a shy person and sometimes I feel that people don’t understand me.

B．Friendly.C．Popular. D．Smart.25．What can we learn from the passage?A．Lisa is taller than Molly.B．Molly is more beautiful than Lisa.C．Lisa has brown hair and blue eyes.D．Molly is happy to have a friend like Lisa.Passage 6（2022秋·八年级课时练习）We know that we live in a society, so we need a lot of friends. I think that a great friend is like a great artist who can change my feeling about life greatly. When I talk about the person who influenced（影响）me most, I must think of Wang Tao. He is my unforgettable（难忘的）friend in my life. He is good at study and looks handsome.He is kind-hearted and is always ready to help others. But he doesn’t like others to praise（称赞）him, because he thinks what he did is common. There is an old saying: A friend in need is a friend indeed. Wang Tao sets a goodexample in many parts in my life.I remembered that my math was mediocre at that time, but he was excellent in math. He often got high grades, but I could only reach 70 percent. Since we talked all day long, he was kind and polite to answer my math questions. Slowly, I did well in math. Then we became friends naturally.There are two kinds of friends, good and bad. Bad friends may make our life fail while good ones make our life successful. To me, Wang Tao is a very good friend. I learned a lot from him, and I became better and better.We said goodbye three months ago.

Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our full attention(注意力).When people are talking, just listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most of the time caring about it iseven more important than understanding it. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of saying and meaning “I’m so sorry” when someone is sad.One of my friends told me that when she tried to tell her story, people often broke in to tell her that something similar happened to them even when she didn’t finish her words. For some reasons, her sadness became a story about them. In the end, she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we break into what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care.This easy thing isn’t that easy to learn. When I was young, I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence(沉默)often has more power to comfort and to connect than the kindest words.36．In the writer’s eyes, the most important thing we can give people is__________.A．plenty of money B．lots of freedom C．full attention D．a smile 37．We should__________ when our friends are sad.A．share our sad stories with them B．listen to their stories and say “I’m so sorry”C．let them enjoy the silence and not talk about it D．tell them something interesting to make them happyA．打断B．拒绝C．畏惧D．同意39．What can we know from the passage?A．The only connection between people is listening.B．Caring about what people say is more important than understanding it.C．People want others to share their feeling when they are telling their stories.D．People listen because they are too shy to speak or don’t know the answer.40．What’s th e main idea of the passage?A．Being a good listener makes you a good talker.B．Listening to people isn’t something easy to learn.C．Most listeners are too shy to show themselves.D．Sometimes a loving silence does a better job than beautiful words.参考答案：1．B 2．D 3．C 4．C 5．B【导语】本文主要介绍了不同程度的害羞对人的影响，并建议读者不要害怕，不要畏惧与人沟通和展示自己，要大胆一点。

We can look at traditional clothing to know more about culture.Africa has a long history and a rich culture, and this is shown in traditional dress. The three colours—red, gold and green, are often used in the clothing. The first colour represents the blood of millions of people who fought for freedom; the second, rich resources of the African earth; and the third, the grassland of home. Because clothing has strong social meanings, people are very careful in choosing what to wear. It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothes, or to dress in the wrong way. For example, in Ghana, a woman should wearher waistband (腰带) differently according to the importance of the social event.Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life. African designs are famous for loose (宽松的) clothing. Thetemperature there can be very high during the daytime but very low at night, so it requires that the clothes are comfortable for daily life.Today although more and more young people like wearing Western clothes especially in big cities in Africa,HomeworkJadav Payeng is a forestry worker from Jorhat, India.

In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog (烟雾). The government made new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factoriesand things get better.Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution was much worse. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.Part of the problem is the new “out of town” shopping centers. In the past, people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centers. As a result, the small shops have been closed and more people have to travel to do their shopping.Many people think that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport (交通). Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about ￡100, for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over ￡1.00.Many people are trying to reduce (减少) the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths (小道) and many people go to work by bike.

Ateacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student'spaper was just the one sentence, “It's so cool”. Maybe he thought it was the best way to show whathe saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have nowords to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Canyou think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. A think they are also very cool.has ________.1.

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. Iturned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed (撞击) into the North Tower of the WorldTrade Center. My first reaction (反应) was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another planefly 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 familymembers looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. Icouldn’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 didcome 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, Iam more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious(珍贵的), to let myself getworried over small things. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. Things changethey’re living and thein the blink of an eye. People go to work and don’t come back. One momentnext 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 everyminute we have.You try to learn from wha t 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.

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 the 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.CDAD。

They are all national intangible cultural heritage.For example, the Tantou New Year Picture appeared in the Tang Dynasty first. And it has a long history—about over 1,300 years. Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Tantou New Year Picture has got its special features—bright colors, exaggerated images, simple lines, common materials and special skills. There are more than 20 steps to make the Tantou New Year Picture. All these steps, from making paper by hand to adding different colors, from brushing the paper to producing the New Year Picture, are all finished in one place.

In Japanese aibo means “buddy”. These pets have been developed at huge cost mainly to provide entertainment. They’ve been used in movies and music videos. Universities have used them for educational purposes. However, in 2006 the company stopped producing these robotic pets in order to save money. Was it worth a lot of money?Then there’s NAO, a robot which has been developed by a French company. Its main purpose is to make life easier for humans. It speaks 19 languages and has its own personality. It can tell children a story, help in the classroom the home, or act as a companion to those people who need someone to be with. A fully developed one costs $6. 000. Is that value for money? Who can afford it anyway?There may be good reasons why it is worth developing robots, but so far I haven’t thought of any.1. What does the underlined word “companion” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?A. 公司B. 机构C. 对手D. 伙伴2. What is the true fact about the robots mentioned?A. The robotic squirrel is needed by every scientist to do some research.B. AIBO wasn’t made any more because it only provided entertainment.C.

However, when it comes to technology and heath care, opportunities and challenges come together.Lets start with the ways to get health care. Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis (诊断) and instructions without leaving home.In addition, there are many patient website. These allow for different kinds of interactions about our health needs without involving the medical team. Sitting a date with doctors and reading lab results are readily achieved by technology.A whole new age of medial care seems likely (可能的) to come in the future. But every coin has two sides. What might be on the other side of techno-health care?Firstly, we should think about the health care experience as a whole. A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist (接待员) , who can see and tell how a patient is doing. This may influence the treatment effect. It’s unlikely that a patient website will have such intuition.Next, sharing the details of one’s life requires trust, which takes time to build. This is certainly true in health care, where some of life’s best and worst moments involve doctors. The human touch should not be undervalued and is unlikely to be there over the smart phone.Lastly, test results can be difficult to understand. When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged (标记的) result with no explanation on the website, there’s room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds and also great worry.So how does medicine adapt (适应) to the new technology age? Very talented companies are working on it. There is medical equipment (设备) that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine. It seems likely that some companies will find a way to explain test results.But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human interaction and touch. Patients often need someone to listen to and care about their journey story, which will never be realized through a human-less technology. Technology should be a tool, but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects. Let’s not allow our humanity (人性) to be one of them.1. According to the passage, how does technology help health care?A. It encourages doctors to voice their needs on the websites.B. It offers the patient a convenient way to get a diagnosis.C. It improves relations between doctors and patients.D. It provides an opportunity to build a medical team.2. The word “intuition” in Paragraph 5 probably means ______ .A. an ability to understandB. an interesting experienceC. a chance to winD. a fair decision3. What do you know about techno health care from the passage?A. Patient websites require trust from doctors.B. Talented companies can give medical advice.C. Flagged (标记的) results may cause worry for patients.D. Medical equipment collects patients’ stories.COnce there were many thousands of Gourma Desert (沙漠) elephants in Mali, a country in West Africa. Now , there are fewer than four hundred.Why did the number of the elephants drop so quickly? On the one hand, the elephants’ main lake, their only water source (来源) , dried up. On the other hand, the land which the elephants lived on was overused by humans.To protect the elephants’ living environment, the Mali Elephant Project (MEP) was started in 2007. MEP met with local people and helped them make rules of using land and water. As a result, the situation became better and there was more food, forest and grassland.However, from 2012 to 2016, poaching (偷猎) and illegal trade in the elephants increased rapidly. Eighty—three elephants were lost in 2015 alone, and another fifty-one elephants were killed in 2016. “If this situation goes on, all the Gourma elephants will be killed by 2020,” said a member of MEP.Luckily, the voice of MEP was heard. More organizations (组织) have joined together to educate the local people that trading elephants is against the law. Elephant poaching has dropped to a very low level. The local people have learned to live peacefully with the elephants, one of the wildlife treasures in the world.1. MEP was started to ______ .A. raise more elephants in MaliB. stop the main lake from drying upC. discover water source for elephantsD. protect the elephants’ living environment2. What does the word “illegal” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?A. 公平的B. 亏损的C. 非法的D. 合理的3. Eighty-three elephants were lost ______ .A. in 2012B. in 2015C. in 2016D. in 20204.

This passage is mainly about ______ .A. the rules of using land and waterB. the education of the local peopleC. the work of Mali Elephant ProjectD. the situation of Gourma Desert elephants三、短文填空AAfter studying for a long time , my brother has now graduated and we are very ___1___ (luck) to have a doctor in the family!

In those days, it was hard to find running water and shops where to buy things. As time went by, most pioneers had to make their homes near a riverso that they could get water easily.How did rivers help people live in the past?Back in the pioneer days, people grew their own food, caught their own fish, and collected their own water. ______ People also used rivers as roads, traveling on boats. Traders shipped goods (货物) to people from other areas.______When building many factories right next to rivers for the water’s power to make machines work, some people choose to live near a river for working. They use the river to ship large goods, and some of them work at these factories where power factories provide electricity to homes and businesses. ______Who wouldn’t want to live near a river?Some people are nervous about living near rivers because rivers can cause floods (洪水) . Every once in a while flood-waters rise higher than a house, ruining (泡坏) many things in the house. ______ Such waste causes water to smell bad and pollutes the crops (庄稼) we eat. Water and crops in polluted areas can make people very sick.How do people decide where to live?______ Rivers can provide jobs and fun activities in a beautiful place. However, those living by rivers should be willing to accept possible problems as well.五、回答问题Paying for bus rides with plastic usually makes people think of plastic bus cards. But one Indonesian city has decided to accept plastic recyclable waste in place of money for city buses.Surabaya, Indonesia’s second largest city, located on the eastern end of the country’s main island Java, made this decision in April 2018. Now, locals can pay for their bus rides by putting plastic cups or bottles directly on the bus. A two—hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles.Indonesia is the second largest ocean plastic polluter, producing up to 2.4 million tons of plastic waste into the oceans every year according to a report. Only in Surabaya nearly 400 tons of plastic waste is produced every day. The head of Surabaya’s transportation department (交通部门) said, “With this decision, we hope to raise public awareness about environment , especially people s awareness about plastic waste.”Each city bus can collect up to 550 pounds of plastic bottles and cups every day. The collected bottles are sold to recycling companies and the money earned from it goes toward running the bus companies and providing money for green spaces in the city. This is certainly turning rubbish into a national treasure.The decision is part of the city’ s purpose to become plastic waste-free by 2020. In order to encourage local people to take buses, the city also added the new Surabaya buses. The new buses are air conditioned, comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off.The program is well received. People in Surabaya said, “We can reduce waste so it doesn’t pile up at home because we can just bring it in and make good use of it. It is a win-win situation.”This type of program can be a model for other cities worldwide and encourage citizens to recycle their plastic waste.回答下面5个问题, 每题答案不超过六个词。

The answer is between 8 and 10 hours. If you don't get enough sleep at night, you'll have less energy the next day.But the researchers say many children have missed out on 4,500 hours of sleep by the time they are seven years old. They say that children miss sleep because they have TVs and computers in their rooms, and busy parents don't read to their younger children at night any more. The traditional “bedtime story” helps children to relax and fall asleep peacefully. Children with TVs and computers in their bedrooms were more likely to sleep badly, and to get less than eight hours' sleep. Even losing one hour's sleep a night can mean that children do less well at school.German scientists think that your brain keeps working while you're asleep. To show that they were right, they gave two groups of people a problem to work out. One group went to sleep, and the other group stayed awake. The result? The people who slept worked out the answer more quickly, suggesting their brains had been trying to find the answer while the people were asleep. So, make sure you get enough sleep tonight, and you'll be at your best tomorrow!（1）What happens to children at school if they don't get enough sleep?A. They walk more slowly.B. They can relax.C.

You sleep better and get more sleep.C. You have less energy.D. Your brain works better.（5）What did the German scientists' experiment show?A. Sleep helps children learn to read.B. Losing sleep means children don't learn well.C. Your brain works while you are asleep.D. Parents should read bedtime stories.7．阅读理解More and more people pay attention to（注意） their health now. But how to keep healthy and live a healthy life? Here are the three things that you must do.Get enough sleep! Stop staying up late working, studying or playing games. Sleep is very important and it can have an effect on not only your happiness, but also your health. So enough sleep is necessary for us if we want to live a healthier lifestyle.Go outside and move. You should spend at least 30 minutes walking outside every day. If you don't want to walk, you can also do a 10-minute leg or shoulder workout near your neighborhood.

On the one hand, you should eat different foods, especially fruit and vegetables. You may have a favorite food, but you'd better eat something different.

Perhaps he made sounds like those he heard all round him----water splashing（飞溅）, bees humming（嗡嗡作响声）, a stone falling to the ground. Somehow he learned to make words. As the centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. Each contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not need all these. Only a few thousand words are used in everyday life.The words you know are called your vocabulary. You should try to make your vocabulary bigger. Read as many books as you can.

They can help people a lot in their daily life. For example, they can help people to save much time to do much work, and they can help people to work out many problems（解题）they can't do easily. Our country asks everyone to learn to use computers before the twenty-first century, except the old people.Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children. They hope computers can help them improve（提高）their studies in school. Yet, many of their children usecomputers to play games, to watch video（影视）or to sing that computers can not help children to study but make them fall behind. So computers are locked in boxes by parents.In some other countries, even some scientists also hate computers. They say computers let millions of people lose their jobs or bring them a lot of trouble.
