On Sept. 26, six students died and 31 were injured in a stampede(踩踏) at Mingtong Primary School in Kunming, Yunnan.The accident happened when a two-metre long cotton cushion(垫子) for gym class fell over and blocked a stairway hall. Several children were covered by it and their classmates rushed out and stepped on them without realizing.This is not the first tragedy in recent times. Last year, four children died in a stampede at a school in Xiangyang, Hubei, when pupils left their dormitory on the fourth floor and tried to get out. The ground floor gate was closed, resulting in the crush.According to a survey done by the China Youth and Children Research Center, about 1,600 elementary and middle school students in China were killed every year inaccidents. The main causes come from stampedes, earthquakes, fires and sports injuries.A stampede is possible anywhere. The larger a crowd, the more likely a stampede becomes. On March 31, the National Day of Education on the Safety of primary and Middle School Students, the Ministry of Education gave out instructions: If students around you begin to push, stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands. Lean to one side, curl your body and bend your legs.1. About students were killed in crush in Kunming.A. 4B. 6C. 26D. 312.

That is why some friendship don't last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven'tbeen honest, you may lose friend's trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feeling. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and helping with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend's place so you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends,you must practice honesty, generosity, and understanding.1. Some friendships don't last very long because .A. here are too many people who want to make friendsB. some people receive friendship but don't give friendship backC. those who give others friendship receive friendship from othersD. they don't know friendship is something serious2.

Which of the following isn't mentioned(提及) in the passage?A. Always tell your friends the truthB. Sharing your mind with your friends is of great valueC. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problemD. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend4. The best title of this passage is .A. Honesty is the Best PolicyB. A Friend in Need is a Friend IndeedC. How to be FriendD. Three Important Points in Life参考答案1—4、BBDCFPeople in different countries have different ways of doing things.

You may meet these people anywhere, in the streets, stores, theaters, or on the playgrounds. These people are strangers. Simply, a stranger is someone that you do not know.Not all strangers are bad, but it is very difficult to tell bad strangers from good strangers. Strangers can come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and ages. Even a teenager could be considered a stranger to you.If a "stranger" comes towards you, you should:● Never talk to a stranger.● Never go near a stranger.● Never accept gifts or rides from a stranger.● Never go anywhere with a stranger.Report strangers to your parents, teachers, bus drivers, or an adult that you know well.The main rule to remember: "Stay away from strangers".When you are alone at home, always lock the door. Do not answer the door if someone knocks. Never let strangers into the house. If the telephone rings, answer it. Do not tell anyone that you are alone. You can tell them your parent cannot come to the phone right now. Ask who is calling, and offer to take a message.1. You may feel safe with the following people EXCEPT .A. your brothersB. your teachersC. your classmatesD. some strangers2. Why do you need to stay away from strangers?A. Because they don't know your parents.B. Because they have a different shapes.C. Because they may bring danger.D. Because they can be seen anywhere.3. If a stranger comes towards you, you should .A. say hello to himB. keep away from himC. call your parentsD. accept his gifts and leave参考答案1—3、DCBJDo you need to "edit your friends"? Is your mobile phone directory full of phone numbers of people you don't really want to talk to? Do you go out with people from work or school more often than with your real friends? Do you say yes to invitations because you think you should, not because you want to? If you answered yes to at least two ofthese questions, then perhaps you need to "edit your friends".Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school. The result is that we don't have enough time to see our real, close friends. As our lives get busier, it becomes more important to spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see, people we love and who really love us.Who are the friends you need to edit? A few years ago I read a book about how to get rid of unnecessary possessions(物品). It said you should ask yourself about each thing you have: Is it useful? Do I really like it? Do I feel better every time I look at it? If the answer is no to any one of those questions, you should throw it away. Maybe we should ask similar questions about our friends.What kind of friends will you probably need to edit? Sometimes it's an old friend. Somebody who you used to have a lot in common with, but who, when you meet now, you have very little or nothing to say to. Or it might be a new friend who you get on quite well with, but who is taking up too much of your time. Next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting, think "Do I really want to seethis person?", and if the answer is no, say no, and make an excuse. That way you'll have more time to spend with your real friends.1. People need to edit their friends when .A. they have moved to a different areaB. they have no time with their real friendsC. some of their friends don't talk very muchD. their friends are people from work or school2. People don't need to edit their .A. real friendsB. young friendsC. old friendsD. new friends3. What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3?A. We should often throw some possessions.B. Most of our friends are not necessary at all.C. We shouldn't treat our friends as possessions.D. We should ask ourselves who our real friends are.参考答案1—3、BADKWhen people go to England, they must learn somethingabout transportation there.In England, cars, buses and bikes must keep to the left side of the street. If a person wishes to cross a street, he must stop and either look at the traffic lights or look both ways down the street. And instead of looking left first, as we do in China, they look right first.To get about in London, visitors should learn to use buses and the subways. First of all they must know which direction (方向) they are going to and which bus and which subway they must take. At the bus stop they wait for buses to come. As soon as they get on the bus, they must pay for their tickets.阅读短文,判断正(T)误(F)。

I didn’t even need a fishing rod then.”“We have to be patient,” he continued. “The fish may come or may not. It doesn’t matter. We are out in the sun. It’s a beautiful day. If it rained, we couldn’t be here. We’re lucky to have the warmth of the sun.”He leaned(倚靠)back against a tree. “Yes, it’s a great day,” he said.I watched our bobbers(浮子). No fish pull ed them under the water that day. It didn’t matter. I was with Grandpa. I felt grown up. Just being with him was special.He was well liked by everyone. He had worked hard all his life for what little he had, but he could still find time to laugh. I wanted to be like him when I grew up.He was an amazing man. In the short time we had together, he taught me many things: how to fish, the value of a good laugh, the value of a good friend, respect for my eld ers and the importance of working hard and l oving hard er. This list is long.11.How was the weather on that day?A.Rainy. B.Cloudy. C.Sunny.12.After fishing with Grandpa, the writer _____.A.enjoyed the time with him B.didn’t want to fish with him againC.felt disappointed for not catching any fish13.From the story, we learn that Grandpa ______.A.was a cheerful person B.didn’t like to fish at allC.didn’t get on with others14.What d oes the story mainly tell us?A.Poor peopl e often have a rich heart.B.We shoul d keep a good heart and enjoy life.C.Fishing is good for people’s minds.I think it is safe to say that snakes are not popular among most people, It woul d be hard to find a person who is neutral( 中立的),or simply doesn’t care one way or the other, What I wond er is why something even without l egs causes such great fear.Snakes are quite useful, but that doesn’t seem to matter, Snakes help control the population of mice. Without snakes, perhaps we would find mice everywhere, Most of us, however, woul d rather see a mouse than a snake, The poison argument( 毒性的争论)is a strong one, Some snakes are poisonous, and this causes people’s death , However, the poisonous snakes are only a small number. We can’t say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones. And what d o we do with the people who really like snakes? They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them. These people learn about them, find them out, and watch them carefully, Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded, They are abl e to put asid e differences and welcome the snake as a friend.Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes d o something good in the circle of life.They would prefer to be left alone, and that is what we should d o, If you’re lucky, you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime, That would be fine with most of us.15.How d oes the writer d escribe the appearance of snakes?A.Something even without legs.B.Something not popular among people.C.A person who is neutral.D.A person who cares about nothing.16.Which of the foll owing shows that most peopl e dislike snakes?A.They wel come snakes as their best friends.B.They would rather see a mouse than a snake.C.They wonder why snakes can cause great fear.D.They learn about snakes and watch them carefully.17.Although some snakes are poisonous, _______.A.they cause many people’s deathB.they control the population of miceC.they are not dangerous to peopl eD.they are only a small number18.The last paragraph seems to tell us that the writer _______.A.dislikes snakesB.has the best luckC.l oves snakesD.prefers to be l eft al oneThe Westwood Mid dl e School has d ecid ed to hol d a blood drive (献血活动), and you can help.Help with The Blood DriveThe School is holding a bl ood drive for teachers, parents, and town people.

This is exactly what happened with Du Haotian, a student from Shaanxi province. The potato chips Du is making are called guoba, usually made of millet rice(小米), but here Du chose col ored potatoes as the ingredients(原料).Zhenba, in the south of Shaanxi, has been trying to sell high-quality(质量)potatoes. But the sales are at a l ow l evel. Du, a stud ent of Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, together with his team, introduced col orful potatoes and mad e them into crispy, fried potato snacks. After trying again and again, it gradually turned into a popular snack at Du’sunive rsity. At the end of last year, Du’s team set up their own factory in the village to plant and produce the snacks locally. At the beginning of this year, the production line was put into use.However, whil e helping the local community, Du was under pressure to graduate. Although he was supposed to graduate in June 2020, Du offered to put off graduation for one year. Du said the production line project was still on the way and he wanted to live up to the expectations of the villagers. “A lot of my friends a nd teachers told me not to do that. But if the factory is built but does not run well, it woul d be against my original intention(初心).” Finally, Du’s teacher supported him.Recently, Du’s potato snacks took part in a college food competition. His product w as once in the first place with the support of many local villagers, which touched Du. “Rural revitalization(乡村振兴)depends on industrial revitalization. I want to make an effort with my hard work in this process.”22.What’s Du’s guoba made of?A.millet rice B.crispy corn C.sweet potatoes D.col orful potatoes23.How did Du’s team help potato sal es in Zhenba?A.They planted high-quality potatoes.

Well, some people can’t recognize this many because of colorblindness. If someone iscol orblind, that means he can’t see as many col ors as others –or, in rare cases, can’t see col ors at all.Thankfully, special glasses have already been made to help fix some types ofcol orblindness. Now, according to a recent research, scientists have brought this solution one step further. Karepov and Ellenbogen, engineers from Israel have found a way to apply this technology to contact lenses (隐形眼镜). This method is so creative because it can solve many different kinds of visual (视力的) problems.People are able to see color because of how the eye is structured. At the back of our eyes, there’re three different kinds of cells that absorb (吸收) light waves. When light waves are absorbed, the cells send a message to the brain for the image to be processed.If something is wrong with these cells, this can cause probl ems when the brain processes the image. One of the most common types of colorblindness is red-greencol orblindness. People who have this specific type of visual imperfection have difficulty telling apart the col ors red and green.“It would influence simple daily routines such as telling the col ors of traffic lights,” Karepov explained. He also stressed the importance of using this finding to create special contact lenses instead of relying on col or-correcting glasses.Whet her you prefer to wear glasses or contacts, it’s nice to know that people who are col orblind will soon be able to choose between the two, as well.31.The writer leads in the topic by _______ at the beginning of the passage.A.describing a fact B.listing a numberC.asking a question D.giving an example32.The second paragraph mainly tells us about _______ colorblindness.A.the main cause of B.the different kinds ofC.a simpl e tool to find D.a new method to fix33.The und erlined word “imperfection” in Parag raph 4 is cl osest in meaning to _______.A.experience B.weakness C.language D.examination34.The overall tone (总基调) of the passage is _______.A.personal and d oubtful B.sad but humorousC.scientific and promising D.informative but meaninglessOne of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. Peopl e d o this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to d o this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.1.” What’s the matter?” “I went to a party last night, so I…”2.”I feel so tired these days.” “I think you’d better…”3.”Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…”You can see from the above three examples that the context helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So “guessing” is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.35.This passage tells us mainly about ________.A.the importance of “guessing” in learning a foreign language.B.how to guess what one is going to talk about.C.Some examples of right guessing.D.how important it is to guess all the time.36.From the context, we can see maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 1 is ________.A.…so I didn’t have a good time.”B.…so I went to bed very late.”C.…so I felt unhappy.”D.…so I got up very early.”37.Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.A.“I think you’d better have a good rest and take good care of yourself.”B.“I think you’d better have something to drink.”C.“I think you’d better get some help from your friends.”D.“I think you’d better to be more careful.”38.From the passage we can infer that guessing is ________ in l earning a foreign language.A.the only wayB.more important in spoken English than in written English.C.more important than any other wayD.more important in written English than in spoken EnglishMr. Smith is fifty years old.

Since many foreign tourists have known little about, here is some information about it.An end and new beginningBy the time of Shuangjiang. most of the harvesting (丰收) work is already completed in northern China .Farmers are now able to enjoy a period of rest.But in the south .the harvest is still in its best time, as farmers have to take home the sweet potatoes before they are destroyed by the coming frost.Across the country, after year of farming, now it is time to pl ow the fields and prepare the soil for next year.Enjoy the flaming red mapl e leaves (枫叶)Autumn might be the most col orful season in China with the leaves turning fromgol den yell ow to red. Activities like hiking become popular as people appreciate the bright red leaves.Nearly all the tourist websites list the best places for admiring the red maple leaves during this time, and many cities start to offer official routes for the best views of the leaves.Appreciating in the view an old tradition starting in ancient times .Du Mu ,awell-known poet from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) described the mountainous scenery in a poem :“ stopped the coach as charmed by the maple woods ; Frosted autumn leaves outshine February fl owers in redness.”Best time to adjust (调整)to a healthy lifestyl eIt is said that Shuangjiang is the best time to adjust to a nourishing (营养的) life, which reflects the belief that this is an important time to focus (关注) on health.

These imports also include solid waste, such as plastics, paper and metals. They mainly come from countries like the United States, the United Kingd om and Japan.These goods will no l onger be imported next year. China will ban(禁止) all imports of solid waste starting from Jan 1, 2021, said the Ministry of Ecol ogy and Environment(MEE).Why d oes China import this waste? In 1980, China’s economy(经济) was gradually taking off because of the reform and opening-up policy(改革开放政策). The country’s factories didn’t have enough raw materials(原材料) at that time. Therefore, China began importing solid waste. After being processed, it can be turned into materials that are used to make other products.For years, China has been the worl d’s largest importer of solid waste, with about 45 million tons arriving each year. Countries that send this waste to China pay about $25(163 yuan) to $50 per ton for recycling, China News Agency reported.Although the waste has helped develop China’s economy, it has brought more risks than benefits. Waste that can’t be used is either burned or buried(填埋). The water used to wash the waste is all owed to fl ow into nearby rivers. This has polluted the air, soil and water, posing a risk to public health, China Daily reported.China has made some efforts to ban waste since 2017. From 2017 to 2019, imports of solid waste fell by 68 percent, dropping from 42 million to 13 million tons, Xinhua reported.What about China’s waste?China can produce enough raw materials to support its economy now. However, it is also producing a rapidly-increasing amount of waste.In 2019, the government worked out a guideline for the creation of zero solid waste programs. These programs have been carried out in 11 cities and five districts(区域), including Shenzhen in Guangdong province and Weihai in Shandong province.50.After Jan 1, 2021, what will no l onger be all owed in China?A.Importing plastic products from abroad.B.Buying solid waste from abroad.C.Selling metals to other countries.D.Producing solid waste.51.What d o we know from Paragraphs 3 and 4?A.Many factories used to use solid waste to make products.B.About 45 million tons of waste are processed worl dwide each year.C.China has made a l ot of money by importing waste.D.It costs very littl e money to recycl e solid waste.52.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A.How solid waste has helped China’s devel opment.B.What we can do to protect ourselves from waste.C.What risks solid waste brought to China.D.How solid waste should be dealt with.53.According to the last paragraph, which word d escribes China’s efforts to ban waste?A.wasteful B.effective(有效的) C.chall enging D.expensiveBeijing Opera, also called Peking Opera, is our national opera. It came into being (形成) after 1790 and has a history of over 200 years. Its music and singing came from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei. The Guangxu Emperor (帝王) and Empress Dowager Cixi were also crazy about Beijing Opera and helped d evelop the art form.There are four main rol es in Beijing Opera: Sheng, Dan, Jing, Chou. Sheng is the leading male (男性) actor. For example, a Wusheng is a soldier or fighter. A Xiaosheng is a young man.A Laosheng is an old man with beard (胡子). Dan is the female (女性) role. Jing, mostly mal e,is the face painted rol e and Chou is the comedy (喜剧) actor or cl own (小丑).Beijing Opera is full of famous stories, beautiful facial paintings, wond erful gestures and fighting.

Sometimes they are afraid and worried. Then they find a way to make peace with (与……讲和) each other. Everyone is usually happy in the end.Beijing Opera is an important part of Chinese culture. In China it used to be popular with old people while young people didn’t like it very muc h. However, more young people arebecoming interested in it nowadays.

九年级上册英语阅读理解50篇一、阅读理解(共50题)1.阅读短文,下列问题BEach year there is an increasing number of cars on the roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced. One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of the cars,driving trucks,building roads,or filling cars with gas.Americans won't live without cars!Most Americans would find it hard to think what life could look like without a car.However,some have realized the serious problem of the air pollution caused by the car.The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to people's health. One way to get rid of the polluted car is to design a car that does not pollute.That's what several of the large car factories have been trying to do.But to build a clean car is easier said than done.Progress in this field has been slow.Another way is to take the place of the car engine(发动机)by something else.Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars.Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.To prevent the world from being polluted by car,we'll have to make some changes.Americans,for example,have to cut down on the number of their total cars.They are encouraged to travel and to go to work by bicycle.Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean.But this change doesn't come easily—a large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down.Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.Althoughcars have led us to a better life,they have also brought us new problems.(1)Some large car factories in the US are trying to build a new kind of car which_______.A.is clean in itselfB.is used to clean streetsC.is easier to makeD.does not pollute the air(2)If the number of cars cuts down,the most serious problem to American workers is to_______.A.have no work to doB.improve their environmentC.go to work by bikeD.make their factories richer(3)The writer wants to tell us that_______.A.riding a bike is the only way outB.the number of cars must be cut downC.people wouldn't live without carsD.cars bring us not only a better life but also serious problems(4)Which fact does the passage provide?A.About one sixth of American workers are working in car factories.B.The best way to get rid of air pollution is to change the car engine by something else.C.It isn't easy to change the way of life in the US.D.In the US bikes will surely take the place of cars in the future.(5)Which is the best title(标题)for the passage?A.A New Way to Get Rid of Polluted AirB.Cars and Polluted AirC.Many Serious Problems in the USD.Changes in Car Production2.根据短文内容,选择正确答案。

What will the world of the future be like? There are plenty of people who are happy to give their opinion of what we will be doing in 2050. Here are two predictions about the world of tomorrow.When we dream about the future, many like to think of owning a personal flying car. The advantages are obvious. This technology would allow total freedom of movement. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, some people believe there will be problems with traffic control. If the cars become popular, there is likely to be air traffic jam. Another big problem is mechanical failure. What will happen if the cars stop working? These are problems we must expect if flying cars become a reality.Three-dimensional printing is another new technology with exciting possibilities. 3D printers are used to build an object with liquid plastic.They build the object layer by layer until it is complete. Car companies already use 3D printers to make life-size models of car parts, and medical companies use the technology to make man-made body parts. As we move into the future, 3D printing will revolutionize the way we shop, the way we manufacture and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such equipment will be extremely expensive.So in the future, we might be able to fly to work or print out new shoes. Although there are some problems to solve before this will be possible, we can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer for millions of people.(1)What is the passage mainly about?A. Environmental protection.B. The world of tomorrow.C. Advantages of technology.(2)What do we learn from the passage?A. Some people think technology development may bring new problemsB. 3D printing can bring great changes to our life and its equipment is cheap.C. The flying cars won't bring air traffic jam even when they become popular.(3)What is the correct structure of the passage? (P1=Paragraph1)A. B. C.(4)What does the underlined word "they" refer to?A. Car companies.B. 3D print.C. Body parts.(5)We can infer that the writer ________ about the future life with technology.A. doesn't careB. feels hopefulC. feels disappointed2.阅读材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

( A )Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal.( )1. The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was ______ for the father and the son.A. hardB. enjoyableC. painfulD. comfortable ( )2. The underlined word “crystal” in the passage means _______.A. 岩石B. 火焰C水晶 D.寒冰( )3. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the father’s words in the second paragraph?A. You will get all you need at the top of the mountain.B. The sky is always as clear as crystal.C. You can find life is full of nice things.D. Never give up half-way.( )4. We can infer from the last paragraph that ______.A. the writer was very successful in his lifeB. the writer reached the top of the mountainC. though the writer was young, he could understand his fatherD. the writer used to stop half-way when he climbed the mountain( )5. The best title for the passage is ______.A. Reaching the Top of the MountainB. Standing at the Top of the MountainC. Conversations between Father and SonD. How to Get to the Top of the Mountain( B )What would you do if you were too shy? Here are some tips which can help you to get over shyness.★Get into the habit of smiling —it’s to your own a dvantage. When you smile at people, some will return it.★Read and learn about different and interesting topics like events, music, the environment and weather. Then you can start suitable conversations with others. When you do this, you’re no longer shy about your ability to keep the conversation going on.★Feel good about yourself. Positive thinking is a good enhancer of personality. Shyness is caused by such negative thoughts that others are far better than you. Stop such thoughts and believe in yourself.

Then one Friday morning I took part in a three-day self-help program for teenagers. Whether you believe it or not, that weekend changed my life.About 100 other teenagers were there. During the first two days I met a lot of great people. I was glad because I made so many friends there.On Sunday, the leader did an interesting exercise called “Chocolate or Toys”. He asked a girl which she liked better, chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate. Of course, she didn’t have a choice.This exercise told us that sometimes we don’t have a choice in life, and that sometimes we have to accept something, rather than complaining(抱怨).A girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was a drug addict(吸毒者) and how much she hated her mother.“I want a new mom,” she cried.“Unluckily, you can’t have one,” the leader replied. “You have to accept the mother that you have.”This hit me hard.

Old men spend hours fishing from the banks of the river. They don’t catch many fish, but they don’t mind. They enjoy just being by the river. Many people spend hours walking along the river or relaxing under the old trees. It’s so pleasant to buy some cheese, some wine and a long loaf(条) of French bread and then have a picnic here on a sunny day. Sometimes you see an unusual sight, like a man padding a kayak(小艇) down the river. A bridge crosses the river to the Latin Quarter, which is the home of many artists and writers.根据短文内容,正确(T),错误(F)。

Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests.When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks (小吃) like biscuits or candy. Someone in the family will also chat with you, never letting you feel lonely.At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat(款待) their guests with a big meal. They always present more food than the guest can eat. On the table, the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprises a western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors, which won't happen at western tables. The Chinese family go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you are done eating, the host usually says, "It seems that you didn't eat much. Please have more." Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl.Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition.

It's a state of well-being, a pleasant or satisfying experience. Happiness is important to everyone. Happiness is important to everyone. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Here are some tips about the discovering happiness in your life.Allow yourself to be human. When we accept emotions — such as fear, sadness, or nervousness — as natural, we are more likely to overcome them. Refusing our emotions, whether positive or negative, leads to sadness and unhappiness.Happiness mostly depends on our understanding towards the outside world, not on how much money we have. Mostly, our level of well-being is decided by what we choose to focus on and by our understanding of the things that happened. For example, do we see failure as the mother of success, or do we see it as a chance of learning?Simplify! We are, generally, too busy, trying to do more and more activities in less and less time. Yet sometimes the more we expect, the more we will lose. Sometimes we even lose our happiness by trying to do too much.Remember the mind-body connection. What we do — or don't do — with our bodies influences our mind. Regular exercise, enough sleep, and healthy eating habits lead to both physical and mental health.1.Do most people know how to find happiness?2.How many tips for happiness are talked about in this passage?3.What does happiness mostly depend on?4.How do we sometimes lose our happiness?5.What is the passage mainly about?答案:1.No./ No, they don't.2.4 / Four.3.Our understanding towards the outside world.4.Sometimes we even lose our happiness by trying to do too much.5.What happiness is and some tips about the discovering happiness in our life.(十五)What makes people happier: money, having happy friends or having happy neighbors? Scientists have found an answer as a part of a study.The new study found that friends of the happy people had a greater chance of being happy themselves. And the smaller the distance between friends, the larger the effect they had on each other's happiness.For example, a person was 20% more likely to feel happy if a friend who lived within one and a half kilometers. Having a happy neighbor who lived next door increased the chance of being happy by 34%. The effects of friends' happiness lasted for up to a year.The scientists found that sadness also spread among friends, but not as much as happiness.People who took three degrees out of separation still had an effect on a person's happiness. Three degrees of distance meant the friend of a friend of a friend.The study showed that having an extra five thousand dollars increased the person's chance of becoming happier by about 2%. But the scientists found that the influenceof a friend of a friend of a friend could be greater than that. Another finding was that people who were married or worked together didn't have as much of an effect on happiness as friends did.1.Having a happy friend who lives within one and a half kilometers increases the chance of being happy by _____.A.45%B.50%C.34%D.20%2.The effects of happiness from friends _____.A.have a chance of 20% to make you happyB.are usually within 1.5 kmC.have a chance of 34% to make you happyD.can last for about a year3.What does the underlined word "separation" mean in the passage?A.间隔B.方向C.位置D.关系4.Which of the following has the greatest effect on happiness according to the passage?A.Money.B.The friend of a friend.C.Happy friends who live in another city.D.Happy neighbors.5.What's the text mainly about?A.Who's the happier?B.What's happiness?C.What makes people happier?D.How to make people happy?答案:DDADC(十六)On September 13th, I woke up in the best mood. It was a late start, so I got to sleep in. Not only did I get my full eight hours of sleep, but an additional two more hours as well. I got ready, danced in my room to my favorite music while I picked out my clothes, made my lunch, and was on my way to school.

I remember every face I saw, and I remember every sound I heard. I remember the fear and the panic of the unknown. And lastly, I remember running. Running for my life. I ran down the stairs, out of the school's front doors, and down the street to the primary school. I remember looking down at my feet. As I looked down I thought to myself, "How am I running so fast?"I finally made it to a safe classroom, and 20 other students and I settled in for lockdown. We stayed close to one another and cried. It felt as though the tears going down our faces would never stop. We passed our phones around to text our loved ones that we were safe and that there was a school shooter, shots were fired, and 4 students were injured thus far.The lockdown lasted about 30 minutes, even though it felt like forever.

I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival. When I was complaining (抱怨) about it, three people appeared at my desk—a tired woman and her two children, a son and a daughter."Are you all sick?" I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right."Yes," the woman answered weakly and lowered her head.But when they started to present their problems, things became unclear. The daughter had a fever, but her temperature was OK. The son had an earache, but he couldn't tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was pretending (假装) to cough.Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them. "Take your time, please," said the mother. I checked their charts—no address. All of a sudden I knew they were homeless while the hospital was warm.The family huddled (蜷缩) together under the Christmas tree, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses' station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like God sending us a gift on this Christmas night. The nurses' station suddenly came back to life. All the nurses went into action for "a Christmas emergency (急诊)".。

They learned the arts of Chinese handwriting, dumpling making, paper cutting, and discovered the culture of Chinese family trees.The festival started 12 years ago after a 10-year-old girl called Sun Ruihan was refused when paying a New Year's visit to her neighbor. Upset by this incident, she wrote to the Shibei district government of Qingdao, suggesting that they should introduce a "Neighbor Day" to encouragegreater spirit.As the birthplace of the festival, Shibei hosted the opening ceremony of this year's Neighbor Day on April 19. With the theme of" ▲ ", people from across the city got together to share their homemade food and discuss the family stories. They also set up a mobile neighbors' library to share books.Sarah from the United States said she had a great time with her neighbors as she experienced the art of Chinese paper cutting for the first time. Masha from Russia, who is studying Chinese at the Ocean University of China, described the event as a great chance to make friends with her Chinese neighbors and learn about the local culture with them. She tried her best at Chinese handwriting and also had great fun learning how to make dumplings. "I love eating dumplings but I never knew how to make them before, "she said." Now I can come to my neighbors' homes and learn in their kitchens."Neighbor Day grew from the needs of the people.

I was terrified but I just acted cool.—Buding, still afraid of spidersI was scared of the dark because I didn't know if there was something scary inside the room. As a result, I always liked sleeping with my back facing the wall because it made me a little comfortable.—Gerard, not so afraid of the dark anymore, but still sleeps with his back facing the wallStrange as it probably sounds, I was scared of shadows(影子).Not the shadows themselves, but what they formed(形成).Because I was near-sighted(近视的), the shadows I saw formed into the scariest things I saw in my mind.—Jean, no longer afraid of shadows I was afraid of the old woman who lived alone right in front of us. Very large trees covered the front part of her small house. The few times I saw the old woman, it scared me because she looked like a witch(女巫).Once I was playing volleyball with my friends and the ball flew into her house.

I'm not going to say luck, talent, and Circumstances(境遇)don't Come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are Born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then make it more practical. And, vesides that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10, 000 hours studying and practising. To vecome great at certain things, it'll require even more time, which most people won't put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you give up before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were Born with some unusual talent, But thinking that way does you no good, andthere's a huge Chance that you're wrong anyway.No matter what you do, if you want to Become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction(入迷), and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Hard work won't guarantee(保证)you the level of success you may want, But it will guarantee that you will Become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.(1)Paragraph 1 mainly talks about __________.A. the reasons for successB. the meaning of successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success(2)The underlined word" that" refers to __________.A. putting in more timeB. succeeding in lifeC.

To explain that luck or talent leads to success.B. To tell us that one cannot succeed without time and practice.C. To show us that having a goal is the main reason to success.D. To describe that successful people like to show their great skills.5.阅读理解We often hear stories of animals rescuing people. But now someone has managed to return the favor.The event took place on a snowy January morning. Thomas Smith was walking his dog, Jack, in the park. "As I was walking, I just saw Jack running into the ice towards the ducks in the middle, and then he fell into the water and couldn't climb out," said Smith. He realized he had no choice but to try and save his dog. "Someone else told me the lake was only one meter deep, but it was at least twice that. I had to break my way through the 6-cm ice. Finally, I got Jack by the neck and pulled him out. I didn't think I had ever felt so cold by the time we got back to dry land. And when we got there, everyone was asking if Jack was okay—no one was particularly worried about me!"A neighbor, Julie Brown, saw it all happen. "The dog went onto an icy lake. All of a sudden, it started to go under. There were crowds of people around, and they were all shouting and screaming. Before I knew it, the owner (Smith) was in the water forcing his way through the ice, I couldn't imagine how cold it was. Everyone was very nervous, but he was as cool as acucumber-he just crawled back out, put the dog on its lead, and went home.Many regard him as a hero, but Mr. Smith is quite laid—back about it, "Most dog owners are the same as me. They would do what I did without a second thought. But in the future, I'm going to make sure he's on a lead near any icy pond.Pets are members of our family.

Every day they are very busy trying to make money for my schooling.One day, my mother was sewing a quilt(缝被子).I silently sat beside her."Mom, is there love between you and Dad? "I asked in a very low voice.With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. Then she said, "Susan, look at this thread(线).It can hardly be seen, but it's really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside."I couldn't understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple.After two months my father still couldn't walk by himself."Dad, how are you feeling now? "I asked him one day."Susan, don't worry about me, "he said. "I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life."

They stood in a circle, with 30 more stones lying on top to form a ring of rocks. There was also an inner circle built with similar stones. The stones set up in a trilithon(巨石牌坊) pattern.A trilithon is made of two stone pillars with a stab of rock laid across the top. The stones weigh up to 20 tons each. People wonder how the huge rocks were placed that way.Historians agree that Stonehenge was built in three different stages. The first stage took place about 5, 000 years ago. At that time, a large circular earth wall was made. Historians believe the wall was dug and cut with tools made form anglers(鹿角)of red deer. The earth wall was about 98m in diameter(直径) a 5-meter-tall stone was placed near the center. Then, they had to transport the large blue stones (up to 4 tons) 384 kilometers to Stonehenge. Experts think they might be moved across ice and snow. The ground in winter in this area is usually full of ice and snow, making it easier to move the rocks. The next task was to stand the stones up. The most difficult task was putting the top stones in place. Each one of these tasks took a lot of planning and a lot of strength, but the workers of Stonehenge were excellent builders.Why was the monument built? Some scientists think it's a burial ground. There are over 400 graves (burial sits) nearby. A man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470 BC). Others think Stonehenge was built by early astronomers. Scientists believe that when a person stands in the center of the monument, the changing of seasons can be seen. Certain stones mark the location of the rising and setting moon in midwinter. Other stones mark the rising and setting sun in midsummer. The ancient people held religious ceremonies on these days. These ceremonies probably asked the gods to bring good weather for crops and to protect the people from bad weather.Stonehenge is an engineering success. Thousands of years later, it still stands. As a calendar,Stonehenge is very accurate. It shows that early people had a deep understanding of the movements to the sun and the moon. They didn't have machines or computers, but Stonehenge shows people could do many things using only their muscles and their brains.(1)he first building stage of Stonehenge was ________.A. to dig and cut the earth wallB. to move the blue stones across the iceC. to stand the stones upD. to put the top stones in place(2)Which evidence(证据) is given to support the idea that Stonehenge was a burial ground?A. Stonehenge was made of stones.B. It is a place for celebrating ceremonies.C. The passing of seasons can be seen there.D. Two gold earrings were found in a grave.(3)The underlined word "accurate" in the last paragraph probably means "________".A. correctB. strangeC. hugeD. heavy(4)Stonehenge was probably NOT originally built for ________.A. touristsB. religious reasonsC. a burial groundD. telling the seasons8.阅读理解Our monthly talks start at 19: 30 on the first Thursday of each month except August.

If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).Don't argue (争辩) with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise.
