牛津译林版八年级英语上册专题分类练习---阅读表达

Friday, 11 February

This morning, as I was getting on the school bus, I saw smoke.

The bus driver said there was a small fire at Butterfly Creek, about ten kilometres away.

We saw fire trucks and tankers rushing to the fire.

The firefighters worked all day to bring the fire under control (控制). They put water on the fire and

did backburning (逆燃), which is when firefighters light small fires ahead of the big fire.

When the big fire gets to the burnt part, it can’t go any further because there’s nothing to burn.

Saturday, 12 February

This morning, I heard helicopters(直升机).

Yesterday’s backburning didn’t work, and the fire was bigger.

The firefighters were filling monsoon buckets(大水桶) in the river and dropping the water on the fires.

I saw lots of birds flying away from the forest.

Bushfires are bad for birds and animals, as well as trees.

When I was very young, I did not like to do things with my own hands. I did not need to learn to do anything. My parents were always there to do everything for me. They got the meals ready for me, washed the clothes for me, made the bed for me, and even took off the shoes for me. After I was old enough to go to school, I often had to do some homework after I came back home from school. At first, I was very lazy and did not want to do any homework, so I still wanted my parents to do it for me. My dad said that he could do the homework for me, but my mum asked him not to take this crazy idea into his mind. She said to my dad, “If you do not let your son learn to do his own homework, he will never learn to do anything!” So my dad had to ask me to do the homework for me. In this way, I began to learn to do my homework all by myself. However, he said that he would help me by checking my homework for me. In this way, I began to learn to do my homework. To my parents’ great surprise, I did most of the homework very well! My parents were so glad that they both held me in their arms and said, “You are really great!”

Hearing my parents say so, I was very excited. I was so excited that I decided to learn to do more things by myself. To my parents’ pleasant surprise, I can even help them do some housework. I am really glad that I can do so many things myself.
