任务型阅读专项训练AWe all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and redu ces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying ne w ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.Title: 1 to Live a Green Life1. ___________2. ___________3. ___________4. ___________5. ___________6. ___________7. ___________8. ___________9. ___________ 10. ___________BB Mistakes are great teachersMistakes are great teachers. Success comes to those who are willing to risk making mistakes to achieve their goals and wishes, and who are able to learn from those mistakes. And in order to learn from mistakes you must be willing to pay for them.Mistakes can be very valuable, but when you try to get others to pay for your mistakes, then you lose the chanceto learn from them. When something goes wrong, it’s usually very easy to find someone else’s mistakes, but is that useful ? Of course not.Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they need to cost that must be paid. The person who learns the most from a mistake is the one who pays the price for that mistake.When you make a mistake, what you shouldn’t do is run away from it. You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it. The mistake has been made, so make the most of it. Pay the price, learn the lesson, and grow that much strongerWhen you make a mistake, don’t look back at it long. Remember the reason for it, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The post cannot be changed. The present is still in your power.

Preparations start before you even go into the store. Here is how to make sure you are always getting your shopping for the best price.●Create your list.Write a full list which includes two parts, something necessary for a living and something for fun. With a strict list, you won’t easily change your mind to buy more than you need.●Check the cupboards.One of the easiest way s to overspend is buying what you don’t need. Before leaving, take time to check what products you have in the house, especially in the cupboards. Buy what you badly need and it will help you save money before you step into the supermarkets.●Know your budget(预算)Keep in mind how much you plan to spend. It is possible to get your shopping for less, but you need to wisely pay attention to the products and brands you buy to support savings.●Compare pricesYou should make a comparison between the prices offered by different supermarkets. So if you try to buy your shopping for less, compare the prices in different shops, which makes sure that you are always visiting the cheapest supermarket for your shop.●Choose the best time for shoppingIf you know your supermarket well, there will certainly be a preferred time to shop. This could be at the quietest time to make sure you get peace while working out the total cost of your shopping. And a few hours before closing helps you to get a special offer. That will bring down the cost of your shopping.1. ___________2. ___________3. ___________4. ___________5. ___________6. ___________7. ___________8. ___________9. ___________ 10. ___________DI once believed that a friend is a friend all the way. Now I have changed my ideas about friendships.1. Friends of convenience(便利). They can be the people who live next door or the mothers of our children’s closest friends. Friends of convenience are good indeed. They’ll help us when we need it. They’ll look after our cats when we go on holidays. But we don’t ever get too close or tell too much. Between us, we’ll talk about being overweight but not about being sad or disappointed(失望). However, people still find it necessary to make friends like this.2. Special-interest friends. These friendships aren’t deeply personal or emotional(感情上的). They lie in some shared interests, so we may have an office friend, a tennis friend, or even a shopping friend.3. Historical friends. We all have a friend who knew u s when…maybe we were back in the second grade of primary school, when our family lived in that two-room flat downtown. He or she was the first, the only friend we told our secrets to.The years have gone by, and we have gone different ways. But we’re still a personal part of each other’s past. We know how we looked before our teeth were straightened(矫正), and our getting together makes us think of an earlier part of ourselves, which is important and never lost.4. Cross-generational friends. These are friendships that from across generations(代). I have in my own life a precious(珍贵的) friend, a woman of 65, who is clever, who listens well, and who means not only an ideal mother to me but also the person I’d like to be when I grow up.1. ___________2. ___________3. ___________4. ___________5. ___________6. ___________7. ___________8. ___________9. ___________ 10. ___________ESometimes it may seem difficult to improve our health. If so, the following health habits may help you.Eat breakfast every morningResearch shows that if you eat a meal in the morning you may not become too fat or eat too much during lunch. Eating breakfast can help people feel better through the day.Get enough sleepPoor sleep can influence our memory and learning. It can also cause traffic accident! Studies show that people who don’t get enough sleep seem to get into more accidents. So stay safe and get enough sleep!Take a walk every dayWalking is an easy way to exercise. You’d better meet friends for a walk, not for a meal. As you walk, you will see the beautiful world around you. Once you try, you’ll find that adding a walk into your daily life is very easy.Join social groupsSocial groups can provide support. They might include sport teams, art or music groups. The people in the group can offer advice and can help each other in difficult times. Also, being in a group keeps your mind busy. And active mind is a healthy mind.Have a hobbyA hobby could be running, reading or making something with your hands. Hobbies help people to relax and rest. Hobbies bring us joy too.1. __________2. __________3. __________4. __________5. __________6. __________7. __________8. __________9. __________ 10. __________FWe all dream about things that we would like to do we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybody’s dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part in it.What are the hopes of teenagers? We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after finishing your education? I t seems some students would like to start work as soon as they can, so that they can help offer better lives to their parents. Other students hope to continue studying after they finish school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.What are the dreams of teenagers? Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic than others. For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And quite a few said they dream of going to the moon one day.According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some said they’d like to have exciting trips; one student said she’d love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that are impossible; three students said they’d like to be able to fly!Conclusion It was clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job. On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things,1. ___________2. ___________3. ___________4. ___________5. ___________6. ___________7. ___________8. ___________9. ___________ 10. ___________。

九年级英语期末任务型阅读专项训练Beyond its influence on health, not getting enough sleep can lead to car accidents or other mistakes. Here are what sleep researchers have found about how to sleep.How much sleep do we actually need?It is known that all of us naturally need no less than eight hours of sleep per night. When we sleep below six hours per 24. we're at an increased risk of health problems. Some of us think we can make up any of those hours lost during the week on the weekends. Sadly there is no storage system for sleep in the brain.Can we train ourselves to need less sleep?As a study in 1964, a 17-year-old boy named Randy Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours. How many people could do anything close to that without dying?When you are reading this, you might say you usually get six hours of sleep and feel just fine. Sleep experts often compare people without enough sleep to drunk drivers: They don’t get behind the wheel thinking they're probably going to kill someone.Can we drink coffee instead of sleeping?Coffee can keep us awake. Remember, too much coffee may throw off our sleep and energy cycles. So limit coffee and avoid caffeine for four to six hours before bedtime.Does a sense of purpose connect to sleep quality?A new research suggests a kind of strong connection between purpose in life and sleep. People who have a greater sense of purpose usually have better physical and mental health, which in turn explains their higher-quality sleep. Perhaps developing a sense of purpose in life could beHow to sleepIntroduction Not getting enough sleep can influence our health and 66 many mistakes.Findings from 67 researchers How much sleep dowe actually need?●Eight hours of sleep a night is68 for all ofus.●Sleeping less than six hours a day can 69 therisk of health problems.●It is 70 to make up the lost sleeping hoursduring the workweek.Can we trainourselves to needless sleep?●Peo ple without enough sleep would insist that theywere 71 , but weren't doing well at all.Can we drink coffeeinstead of sleeping?●Using coffee instead of sleeping might lead to sleep72 .●Drink proper amount of coffee at proper 73 .

The following will help you become healthier and keep perfect shape.Eat properly. A healthy diet is very important for everybody. Breakfast is the most important meal in a day. Doctors suggest t hat students’ breakfast should include fruit, eggs, milk, rice or noodles, because these can offer them necessary energy, help them listen carefully in class and keep them healthy. Eat enough for lunch and little for supper. But remember that too much sugar is bad for your teeth and blood. You shouldn't have too many sweet snacks and desserts in your diet,even though such food tastes delicious.Keep off germs(病菌). Daily tooth cleaning reduces the amount of germs, which will spread diseases. Germs in the mouth are likely to enter the blood and cause illness, even heart disease. Even if you' re not sick, always remember to cough or sneeze into your arms instead of your hands because hands can spread germs to others when you touch something else. Besides, washing hands is necessary after going to the toilet or before having a meal. And you'd better rub both hands while washing them.Exercise regularly. Regular exercise can improve your moods and balance.What's more, it's good for bones. There are many forms of exercise: walking or running for about 30 minutes a day, playing ball games twice or three times a week, swimming or dancing often. You can choose your favourite to practise regularly. You will not only feel energetic but also think better after doing exercise.Stay connected. Having regular communication with friends is the key to reducing stress. And sharing happiness and sadness, exchanging information with others can also help improve memory. Having a friend or a circle of friends can help you feel good.The __66___ to keep fitEating properly ·You should have proper breakfast because it can __67__ you with necessary energy.·You should have enough for lunch and little for _68____ ·Sweet snacks and desserts are tasty, _69__ you shouldn’t eat too much.Keeping off germs ·It's necessary for you to __70__ your teeth every day, cough or sneeze into your arms and wash your hands often to stop germs from ___71___ .__72__ regularly ·You will feel __73__ and think better after doing exercise ,so you can choose your favourite sports to do.Staying connected ·It can help you feel _74___ stressed when you communicate with your friends and it is also useful in __75___ memory.66. __________ 67. _________ 68. _________ 69. _________ 70. ___________ 71. __________ 72. _________ 73. _________ 74. _________ 75. __________66. ways 67. provide 68. supper 69. but 70. brush71. spreading 72.

These are the necessary tasks bottle, the voluntary（自愿的）tasks bottle and the happiness bottle.Every day, we spend time filling the necessary tasks bottle with useful things, like making money, doing housework, buying food and paying bills. We then fill another bottle with voluntary tasks. These are things that we do for others, but we may not enjoy them. This bottle gets filled with tasks like taking children to activities, cooking family meals, and doing laundry. Those bottles are very important. If we don’t fill them each day, our family won’t run properly.However, we often forget to fill the third bottle ---- the happiness bottle that we fill with activities that make us happy. Is your happiness bottle sometimes empty at the end of the day? Between doing all the necessary and voluntary tasks, time flies by, and before we know it, it is time for bed. We all have days like that.This is why each day we have to make an effort to fill our happiness bottle. I fill mine by going to the dancing class. And I always leave classes more happily than when I enter. This week, I had the pleasure of taking part in a guitar practice in my neighborhood. We show our musical talent and practice music for charity. It was a time of fun, friendship and music-making. At the end of the evening, my happiness bottle was filled to top.Will your activities bring joy to your life? Or are the other two tasks eating up all your time? Try to find ways to achieve a balance between how you fill your three bottles. At the end of the day, hopefully we’ve done all we can to make sure that our happiness bottle is filled.Three groups of the 66 we spend our timeThe necessary task jar The necessary tasks jar is 67 of useful things, like making money,doing housework, buying food and 68 bills.The 69 task jar We fill the jar with voluntary tasks such as 70 children toactivities and cooking meals for our 71 .The happiness jar This is the jar that we fill with activities that bring us 72 .Between doing all the necessary and voluntary tasks, time flies by onsome days, and before we know it, it is time to 73 to bed.

Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St. Petersburg, Missouri. He's a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures (冒险). He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave. and finally, they find a box of gold.My favorite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral（葬礼）. He hides and watches for a time. and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they're also pleased to see him alive.Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom's best friend. and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.The theme of the story is about children growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished (惩罚) for bad behavior.Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it's still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it's only a story. Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today it's thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on-- read it! I know you'll enjoy it, too.The reason for recommending the story It's only a story 9 it sounds very real, because Mark Twain wrote it in the everyday English.

In our daily life many people always have negative(消极的) thoughts. Being in a negative space is harmful to our life and study. If you keep them in mind, you will lose hope sooner or later. Let’s drive away some of the most common negative thoughts.No one cares about me.Sometimes you say that your family and friends don’t care about you. Maybe you’re being too negative and misunderstand the gestures of love they show you. They don’t even have to be big gestures, but there are many countless little things they do for you. Maybe you just pay no attention to them and take them as granted. Perhaps you think they don’t care about you so you don’t make any effort in your relationships. Start showing people you care, so they can show you back in the same way. And if you don’t have good relationships with the people you know, what’s stopping you from making new friends?Why is she better off?Comparing yourself to someone else is never positive. There’s always going to be someone who is younger, prettier, smarter, or richer than you. If you keep admiring what someone else has, then this may cause you to lose the balance in your mind, which will open a whole other negative can of worms. Remember, what they don’t have is your whole package. Be proud of what you have, because if you want to play the comparison game, remember that there are people who are also worse off than you are.I’ll never reach my goal.If you think you’re not going to be able to“get there”, think again. There are many people who are worse off and have overcome more difficulty than what you are facing.Everything is within your reach as long as you work hard and have a a positive attitude.Conclusion ● Everything is 10 your reach as long as you work hard and have apositive attitude.阅读填空答案A) 1-5.

In many children’s stories, a girl meets a prince and falls in love. They get married and live ‘happily ever after’.As a child, Meghan Markle may never have imagined marrying a prince. But that is exactly what happened on May 19th!Who is this young lady who just married into Britain’s royal family(王室)？Meghan Markle was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1981. Her mother, Doria, was a doctor, and her father, Tom, was a television lighting director. For 10 years after school each day, young Meghan spent time at the studio where her father worked. This experience allowed her to become very comfortable with the acting business. For that reason, she knew she wanted to become an actress from a very early age.As a child, she felt strongly about something else, too: People should be treated equally. This passion(热情)to help others is still a big part of her life today.Her acting career began in 2002 when she made her first appearance on TV. Other small parts on TV and in a few films followed. Then finally in 2011, Markle got her big break. She won a lead role in the popular TV series Suits.Title: Meghan Markle - the Actress Who Just 71 a Prince7471.married 72. joined 73. information 74. director 75.spent76. actress 77.young 78. acting 79.for 80.got\wonI had the meanest（最刻薄的）mother in the whole world.

(本大题共5分，每小题1分)I have lived in France for nine years, but I cannot walk down the street without being recognized(认出) as an Englishman from 50 metres away before I open my mouth. Why?In France, the quickest way to recognize an Englishman is that he'll be the one with the belly(肚子) and the shirt hanging out. Englishmen often wear shapeless black T-shirts, either too big or too small. However. Frenchmen are more formal in dressing. Their T-shirts have collars(领子). Shorts have buttons and zips rather than drawstrings(拉绳). Shoes look expensive.Englishmen think of lunchtime as 1 p.m. but for Frenchmen it is 12 o'clock, one hour earlier. This may explain the sad looks if an Englishman arrives at a local restaurant at 1:30 p.m. At that time most restaurants don't have waiters. All the cooking and serving may be done by the boss and his wife. When you arc shown to your table, just sit there and wait. Don't wave your hands to the waiters. Englishmen think guests should do something to make the waiters pay attention to them. But in France some bread and water will come first, then the waiters will take your order according to the rhythm(节奏) of the restaurant. Have enough patience!Some 1 between Englishmen and Frenchmen● have lunch at or after 1 pm● do something to attract the3 attention答案differences cost waiter’s/waiters’ less patientBAnger is a natural reaction(反应) which comes out when we feel that we have not been treated fairly. The good side of this negative emotion（负面情绪）is that it has helped us to shape and improve our manners. However it will become a problem if we can’t control i t. For example, sometimes it happens that your anger hurts others or breaks your friendship and you regret later. It is also bad for the health.We should control anger so that it does not cause harm to us or to those we love. One of the best ways to control anger is to get help from others. If you feel that you are unable to manage your anger, it can make more trouble. So tell someone that is close to you, a friend or a family member about your problem. When you discuss a matter with others, there is a better chance to solve your problems. Besides, to be humorous is a good choice to reduce your anger. When you feel that it is because of stress that your anger is out of control, you can use humor. It can help you look at difficult things in a lighter way and you will feel better about the things around you.Anger makes us have a lot of negative thoughts. So we have to change the negative thoughts into positive ones. For this, you must say ‘No’ to all the negative thoughts in your mind first. This can be done with a lot of practice. When you are successful in that, you have to think only about positive things of life.Meditation(冥想)is an excellent anger management way. What’s more, what we do is to keep ourselves from the outer world, and just care about the inner world. This helps us develop a sense of controlling our thoughts that can cause anger.1.treat2. deal3. close4. Refuse5. controlCGraffiti (涂鸦) is a common feature of most Western cities. The word graffiti was from the Greek word, graphein, which only meant writing. These days, however, the word means drawing or writing on the walls of buildings, or the public transportation, such as trains or buses.Graffiti, as a form of expression, was born in New York during the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, a new modern culture about city life appeared. Graffiti was a written form of expression of that life. Later, it was mixed with a musical form called hip-hop that was another expression of the city life.At first, graffiti artists used pens. But then, with the growth of graffiti, they became experienced. They turned to using cans of paint (喷漆). Spray paint enabled (使......能够) them to cover a greater area. And it also enabled them to work quickly, which helped the graffiti artists a lot when they worked in neighborhoods where graffiti wasn’t welcome.At present, different people have different ideas about graffiti. Some people say it makes the cities dirty. Many local governments have ordered people not to make graffiti in the United States. The governments spend more than a million dollars a year cleaning graffiti. The money, they say, could be better spent on health or education. Other people think it is a form of art. In fact, the works of some famous graffiti artists can be found in museums, galleries, and art books.答案1. meaning 2. born 3. possible 4. allowed 5. wasteDWhether we are going to school or going to work, we are all sad to leave the weekend behind and go back to our Monday morning blues. But with the tips, you can get over those blues and face Monday mornings with a smile.Love what you do. If you love what you do, then you won't fear Monday mornings as much. Loving your job will make you look forward to the week ahead. Try to find something positive (积极的) in your workplace. It could be a friend, a partner, or the work you do in general. The important thing is to keep a positive attitude (态度) at work.Do what gives you feelings of comfort, while remembering your responsibilities for the day. This will help you cheer yourself up for the day ahead. If the clock rings and you still feel sleepy, stay in for five minutes. However, don't stay past five minutes, as it will only make you feel even lazier for your day. When you get up, make a cup of coffee and put on some music. This will help you feel energetic.Try to give yourself a little something extra. A good reward for Monday would be a treat you wouldn't have the rest of the week. On Fridays, plan a night out for films or dinner. This will give you a little break from the rest of the week. This way, you will know that even if you're working hard, you will have something good waiting for you at the end of the week.On Sunday night, go to bed early. Your mind will react (反应) quickly on Monday morning. Ifyou wake up early, you will have more time to get ready for the day. Being stressed during Monday mornings is only going to add to your blues.Get yourself organized on Friday evening. Before you leave your workplace on Friday, you should take care of all the things you need to, so you won't be so stressed on Monday morning. This way, you can start the week right.Follow these simple tips and you will be able to beat those Monday morning blues soon.what energy treat /reward through stress。

Traveling can improve our thinking skills.That’s WHY we travel. What follows is HOW we travel.CHEAP TRA VELThe less you spend, the closer you come to the reason you came.We’re savers by choice when traveling, although we could afford to stay in middle-priced hotels and eat in their restaurants if we cut back on the length of our trips. By spending less we can travel longer and travel better. We meet more locals by using buses rather than taxis and by staying in small family-run hotels and eating in local-style cafes. Spending too much money makes you away from the foreign experience you came to have.TRA VELERS --- NOT TOURISTSWhat’s the difference? Travelers are more likely to get deeper into the life of a country than tourists. The way to do this is to do lots of pre-trip reading about the countries we will visit, and try to learn a few words of local languages.Independent travel is usually far less expensive than packaged tours. We don’t use travel agents because we don’t stay in hotels that charge high, and we can get cheaper tickets on the Internet. We like figuring out where to eat and working out how to get around. This puts us into direct contact with the local people. Independent travel isn’t as comfortable or convenient, but it’s the most meaningful way to travel.MOVING AROUNDDespite its discomforts, we take public transportation whenever possible. Traveling in a car is easier, but also scarier. In much of the world roads are poor and driving behaviors are not fixed. Luckily, even the less developed countries often have good public transportation systems, riding buses and trains brings us into close contact with the local people.CARRYING STUFF(东西)Backpacks work better for long-term travel than the wheeled luggage(轮式行李箱) most middle-aged travelers use. Using luggage is fine with a car, but backpacks are easier for bus and train travel. Best of all, wearing backpacks bridge the gap between age groups ---allowing gray-haired travelers like us to make friends with younger travelers.答案：1.Why 2.discuss 3.choose 4.longer 5.understanding 6.prepare 7.meaningful 8.closely 9.prefer 10.bridge（B）It’s a big challenge for you to complete any personal goal in time. And it always seems that you won’t have enough time to finish all you need to do. Do you know the way to make the time for your goal? Here are some tips which may help you.Focus on(集中) one thing at a time. Remember not to take on too many goals at a time, or your energy will be used up soon. Once one goal is finished, you can go to the next one. Set up at least a month per goal.Prioritize(优先处理)the most important. We have more than one thing to complete. If we put all the things before our goal, we won’t ever find the time for it. If we put our goal at the first place, we’ll make the time.Keep your goal simple. It’s important not to make your goal too difficult. If you want to be slim, for example, you just need to develop the habit for your health, walking each day (or running, or cycling etc), drinking more water, eating fruits and vegetables instead of junk snacks.Close your door. Try to set a time that you won’t be disturbed (打扰). If you are disturbed from time to time, you really don't have the time to help out. So you must shut your door when working on the most important tasks. If so, you will get them done better.Stop wasting time. In our daily life, there are many things wasting your time, such as watching drama series and going to bars. If you don’t do them, it won’t make a great difference to your life. So stop doing them to free up time for your goals.If you follow the above, you will succeed in achieving your goal.答案：1.make 2.tips/advice/suggestions e 4.first 5.simple 6.healthy 7.avoid 8.closed 9.waste 10.followed四、首字母填空（A）Many hundreds of years age, a native（土著的）American chief named Shenandoah lived with his people in what is now the state of Virginia．Very l___1___ is known about Shenandoah，but the soft sound of his name was given to a river．The Shenandoah River still runs in a d___2___ valley（山谷）between the mountains in West Virginia，just as it did when Chief Shenandoah lived．There is an old story which tells how the river got its name．A long time ago, many c___3___ before Europeans went to live in America，there was a great lake hidden in the mountains of Virginia．For hundreds of years，the native Americans lived near this lake，feeding on the f___4___ the caught in its clean waters．They often climbed up the mountains and set up camp there d___5___ their long hunts for food．In the evenings they sat near their camp and looked d___6___ at the beautiful lake．On a clear，starry night you could see thousands of stars s___7___ and dancing on the water below．The native Americans loved this lake，and because they could see the stars in it，they called the lake，"Clear Daughter of the Stars．"In their l___8___，the word for this was"Shenandoah．"One day there was a loud crashing sound at one end of the lake.
