Except for helpingyou fin d your way in the streets, they aren’t really friendly and never invite you to their houses.Giannis Sinios: On the contrary I found them both broad-minded and friendly.

In England I learned that it was possible to be warm, friendly and polite at the same time.Judy Brown: I lived in both Italy and Greece for a few years.

My taxi driver stepped on the brake (刹车) as hard as possible, and at the 4 moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.I couldn’t believe what happened next.

This guy nearly 7 us!” He told me what I now remember “The Law of the Garbage (垃圾)Truck.”He said, “Like garbage trucks, many people run around full o f garbage, full of anger, and full of regret. 8 their garbage increases more and more, they look for a place to pour it. If you let them, they’ll pour it on you. So when someone wants to pour it on you, don’t feel hurt. Just smile, wave, and move on. You will be 9 .”I started thinking: how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and 10it to other people? Then I knew clearly what I should do.I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the bad mood people are carrying. I see them coming to pour it. And like my taxi driver, I don’t feel hurt. I just smile, wave, and move on。

It opens doors to new worlds, exposes us to different cultures, and enriches our imagination. As we delve into the pages of a book, we embark on a journey of discovery, learning, and sometimes even self-reflection. In the following article, we explore the various benefits of reading, particularly for junior high school students in their first semester of Grade 9.Firstly, reading improves academic performance. Studies have shown that students who read regularly perform better in subjects like language arts, mathematics, and science. This is because reading enhances vocabulary, comprehension skills, and critical thinking abilities, all of which are essential for academic success.Secondly, reading fosters empathy and emotional intelligence. By stepping into the shoes of characters in books, students learn to understand and appreciate diverse perspectives. This not only broadens their minds but also cultivates empathy, allowing them to better connect with others.Moreover, reading reduces stress and promotes relaxation. In today’s fast-paced world, students often feel overwhelmed with academic pressure and social demands. A good book can provide an escape from reality, allowing the mind to unwind and recharge.Lastly, reading inspires creativity and imagination. The worlds created byauthors are boundless, and they inspire readers to think outside the box and imagine possibilities beyond their immediate surroundings. This can lead to new ideas, innovative solutions, and a lifelong love for learning. Questions:1.What is the main purpose of the passage?A)To entertain readers with interesting stories.B)To promote the benefits of reading for junior high school students.C)To criticize the lack of reading among students.D)To explain the history of reading.Answer: BExplanation: The passage explicitly states its purpose in the first paragraph by exploring the various benefits of reading, particularly for junior high school students in their first semester of Grade 9.2.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a benefit of reading?A)Improved academic performance.B)Increased stress levels.C)Cultivated empathy.D)Inspired creativity.Answer: BExplanation: The passage mentions several benefits of reading, including improved academic performance (A), cultivated empathy (C), and inspired creativity (D). However, it does not state that reading increases stress levels (B). In fact, it says the opposite, that reading reduces stress and promotes relaxation.3.How does reading help in developing empathy and emotional intelligence?A)By providing practical advice on how to interact with others.B)By allowing students to experience different perspectives through characters inbooks.C)By teaching students to memorize complex emotional terms.D)By encouraging students to engage in debates and arguments.Answer: BExplanation: The passage states that reading fosters empathy and emotionalintelligence by stepping into the shoes of characters in books, thereby learning tounderstand and appreciate diverse perspectives (B). This allows students to developempathy and better connect with others. The other options do not accurately describe how reading helps in developing empathy and emotional intelligence.三、完型填空（15分）Cloze Test (For Grade 9, First Semester, Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press Edition)Passage:It was a cold winter morning.

Hundreds of millions of visitors come to see the falls. No one knows how the falls were formed, but some people say the Niagara River changed course thousands of years ago.The biggest falls in the world is Canada's Montmorency Falls. The water drops 245 feet below the cliffs of Mont-morency, 10 miles northeast of Quebec City. The falls are wider than they are in height, with a 150-feet width.Waterfalls occur when rivers flow over cliffs and create sheer drops. Waterfalls formed this way are called true waterfalls.

When you think positively, you’re more likely to handle stress in a healthier way. You may even have a better chance of living longer. That doesn’t mean you ignore the bad things or pretend everything is perfect all the time. It just means that you approach the unpleasantness in a more positive and productive way.Research shows that people who are more optimistic tend to have lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which is linked to lower blood pressure and less heart disease. They also tend to have stronger immune systems, so they get sick less often. In addition, optimists are more likely to have healthy habits, such as exercising regularly and eating a balanced diet, which contribute to overall health.However, being overly optimistic can sometimes lead to unrealistic expectations. If you don’t acknowledge potential obstacles, you might not beprepared when challenges arise. Therefore, it’s important to balance optimism with a realistic understanding of the world around you.So, how can you become a more positive thinker? Start by identifying areas of your life that you typically think negatively about. Next, check if those thoughts are actually true. Often, we exaggerate the negative aspects of a situati on. Once you’ve identified these patterns, you can start to challenge those negative thoughts and replace them with more positive ones. Over time, this practice can change the way you see the world, leading to a happier and healthier life.Questions (1-3): Answer the following questions based on Passage A. Write your answers in the spaces provided.1.According to the passage, what are some physical benefits of positive thinking?-______________________________________________________________________ ____-______________________________________________________________________ ____2.Why is it important to balance optimism with a realistic view of the world?-______________________________________________________________________ ____-______________________________________________________________________ ____3.What steps does the passage suggest one should take to become a morepositive thinker?•Step1:_________________________________________________________________ •Step2:_________________________________________________________________ •Step3:_________________________________________________________________ Answers:1.Some physical benefits of positive thinking include:•Lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which is linked to lower blood pressure and less heart disease.•Stronger immune systems, leading to fewer illnesses.•Tendency to engage in healthy habits like regular exercise and a balanced diet, contributing to overall health.2.It is important to balance optimism with a realistic view of the world because:•Being overly optimistic without acknowledging potential obstacles can lead to unpreparedness when challenges arise.•Realistic optimism allows for better preparation and problem-solving when facing difficulties.3.The steps suggested to become a more positive thinker are:•Step 1: Identify areas of your life where you typically think negatively.•Step 2: Check if those negative thoughts are actually true, as we often exaggerate the negative aspects.•Step 3: Challenge and replace those negative thoughts with more positive ones, gradually changing your perspective.This type of question is designed to assess the student’s comprehension and analytical skills. Feel free to adjust the difficulty and length of the passage and questions to fit the specific needs of your class.三、完型填空（15分）Three decades ago, the small town of Willowbrook was known for its quiet streets and friendly neighbors.
