A frog lived in a small well (井). He said to a turtle (乌龟) who lived in the East Sea, “I am so happy! When I go out, I jump out of the well. When I come home, I rest in the holes on the broken wall of the well. If I walk in the mud (泥土), it will cover up my feet. I look around here, and no one can compare with me. I am the owner of this well. My dear sir, why don’t you come over and look around my place?”
Then the turtle told the frog about the East Sea.
“You have no idea how large and how deep the sea is. In the past thousands of years, there were floods (洪水) for many years, but the water in the sea did not become more. And when it was dry for many years, the water in the sea didn’t become less. The sea does not change with time and it does
not rise or fal l as the rain falls, either. The greatest happiness is to live in the East Sea.” After hearing this, the frog was shocked.
There is always someone better than you; there is always something greater than you know. So everyone should be humble.

My dad didn’t love me. It was my mom who held the family together. He just went to work every day and when he came home, he’d just scold (责备）me about the things I did wrong that Mom listed.
Once, when I stole a piece of candy, he made me take it back and tell the man I stole it and that I’d pay for it. But it was Mom who understood that I was just a kid.
I still remember how he taught me to ride a bicycle. I told him not to let go, but he said it was time. I fell and Mom ran to pick me up, but he waved her off (挥手让她走开). I was so mad that I got right back on that bike and rode it myself. He didn’t even feel embarrassed (尴尬的）and just smiled.
When I went to college, Mom wrote me lots of letters. He just sent cheques (支票) and a little note about how great his lawn (草坪) looked now that I wasn’t playing soccer on it.
Whenever I called home, he acted like he wanted to talk, but he always said, “I’ll get your mother.” When I got married, it was Mom who cried. He just blew his nose loudly and left the room.

During the Tang Dynasty there lived a talented poet named Meng Jiao (孟郊), who was born to a poor family. Writing poetry was not a good paying job at that time. 18 He realized this had to change and decided to take the Ke Ju (科举) exams, which were open for anyone. Meng Jiao studied hard for the tests and took them several times. Each time, he failed, but he never gave up. Finally, when he was 46 years old, Meng Jiao passed the test! He was so happy that he put on new clothes and tied on red flowers to celebrate. 19 In English, it is “Horseback riding fast through the spring breeze, while seeing all the flowers of Chang’an in one day.”
20 It tells of the excited feeling of seeing all of Chang’an City in a day.
On that day, he was able to let go of the disappointments of the past. The poem became famous and was passed down through the years.

Darkness fell along the narrow road to the hill. As we climbed higher, it became colder and rain began to fall. It was difficult at times to see the road, so I asked my friend John to drive slowly.
We travelled for about 20 miles but we couldn’t find the town. We were beginning to feel worried. Then the car stopped. We found that we were out of petrol (汽油), so we decided to spend the night in the car.
After eating some bread, I tried to go to sleep at once, but John, a poor sleeper, got out of the car after a few minutes and went for a walk up the hill. Soon, he came running back. From the top of the hill he saw the lights of the town in the valley below. At once, we tried to push the car to the top of the hill. In less than an hour we were in the town, and we found a hotel there easily.

山东省烟台市芝罘区（五四制）2022-2023学年八年级 下学期期末考试英语试题 一、阅读单选 Celebrate beauty of Lantern Festival Many traditional Chinese festivals remind us of the special foods. As zongzi are to Dragon Boat Festival and mooncakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival, yuanxiao-sweet dumplings made of sticky rice flour—are special to Lantern Festival. Lantern Festival falls on the 15th of the first lunar month, marking the end of the Spring Festival celebrations. Apart from the round-shaped yuanxiao, another beloved part of the celebration is the lanterns, which come in almost every possible size and shape. In old times, riddles (谜语) were pasted onto them so that people could try to solve them while looking at the beauty of the lanterns. However, both tradition and handicraft have become less popular among young people. Lantern Festival was at its height in the Tang and Song dynasties. It was a day of great fun back then. In the evening, people went into the streets with all kinds of lanterns, watching lion or dragon dances, eating yuanxiao and setting off firecrackers. The festival also provided a chance for unmarried young girls to go out freely in search of their true love, since they weren’t normally allowed to do so. The famous Song Dynasty poet Ouyang Xiu recorded this romantic tradition with the well-known line: “Atop the willow tree hangs the moon; my date comes in the evening soon.” 1. Besides eating yuanxiao, what other tradition is popular during Lantern Festival? A．Setting off fireworks. B．Solving riddles on lanterns. C．Watching movies. D．Eating mooncakes. 2. During which dynasties was the Lantern Festival most popular? A．Tang and Song. B．Ming and Qing. C．Qin and Han. D．Sui and Tang. 3. Why did unmarried young girls go out during the festival in ancient times? A．To admire their stars. B．To become a poet. C．To search for true love. D．To enjoy nice food. 4. How do you translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A．月上柳梢头，人约黄昏后。B．床前明月光，疑是地上霜。

Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in his garden when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He began to think and tried to find out why the apple fell. Then he discovered how the sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places. A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire, watching the lid (盖子) of the kettle move up and down. He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking. And when he became a man, he improved the steam engine (蒸汽机) so much that it could easily do the work of many horses. James Ferguson was a poor boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he wondered, “Why should I not make a watch?” But how could he get the materials to make the mainspring (钟表的主发条)? He soon found he could make it with whalebone (鲸骨). He then made a wooden clock which kept good time. His motto (座右铭) was “I will think of it.” And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.
