Of course Andy wouldn’t lose his best friend. He decided to keep all the laws and rules and stop drinking. And it made his friend happy.One Sunday afternoon it was hot. Andy was going to swim in the river. He changed his clothes, entered his can and started. When he was coming near the crossing, he suddenly remembered something and got off at once. He began to push his car in the street. It made the policeman surprised and asked, “what’s the matter with your car, sir?”“Nothing, sir.” Answered Andy. “But why push it, then?”“Because I’ve left my license at home!”1. F2. T3. T4. F5. F6.

八年级上册More practiceUnit 1Australia's big attractionsAustralia is a very big country. It also has many big attractions.The Big BananaThe big banana is in Coffs Harbour. It was made in 1964 by John Landy. Landy wanted something to make people come to his fruit shop, so he built the Big Banana. Landy The idea worked. Many people visited his fruit shop and took pictures of the Big Banana. Soon people all over Australia began making big things. The Big MerinoThe big Merino is in the city of Goulburn. Merinos are a type of sheep. They can live in dry weather. Some places in Australia are very dry, so these sheep are very important to the farmers there. Inside the Big Merino, there is a small museum about the history of wool in Australia. Visitors can also climb up to the Big Merino's head and look at the view through its eyes.Unit 2Counting before numbersBefore the invention of written numbers, people used many different ways to count things.At first, people used their fingers, and even their toes. However, they could only count small numbers in this way.After that, they began to make small marks on sticks and bones. This helped them count bigger numbers. They used them to count things like the days of the month, the amount of food and the number of animals they had.Then people began to use tokens made from clay or small stones. This helped them count even bigger numbers. They often put the tokens on pieces of string so that they could carry them around easily. This developed into tools like the abacus.Finally, people began to develop systems of written marks to show different numbers, and this led to the Hindu-Arabic system (0-9). We are still using this system today.Computer game problemsGood afternoon, parents and teachers. Thank you for attending this meeting.Last weekend, one of our students went to hospital. The student played computer games on the Internet all day Saturday without stopping to drink, eat or sleep. Finally, he became very ill.Some students play computer games for too long. This is a serious problem. In the past, students used to play outside more often, but now they spend more time in front of computers. This is bad for their health. Tomorrow we'll have some experts here to talk to the students about the bad effects of playing computer games. They'll also give some advice on how to use computers for studying.I hope we can all work together to stop students from spending too much time playing computer games.
