一、八年级英语下册阅读理解专项练习（含答案解析）

1．阅读理解

When you communicate with others, you express your thoughts and feelings not only through

the words you choose, but also through your body language.

To learn another language is more than just learning words and grammar. It involves （包括）

learning about another culture too. Body language is different from culture to culture, so there is

something that language learners should know about.

Sometimes, cultural differences in body language can cause discomfort or misunderstanding.

For example, there are cultural differences in how much distance should be kept between two

people who are talking with each other. If you would like people to keep a distance, you may feel

very uncomfortable when someone keeps trying to stand close to you at a party.

In some Asian countries, a smile can show embarrassment（尴尬） or apology. However,

smiling

back at

a teacher who is unhappy with you, or someone whose foot you accidentally

stepped upon is probably not a good idea in most English-speaking countries.

However, nodding and shaking your head have the opposite meanings in Albania.

Even speakers of the same language, such as British, American or Australian people, may not

use the same body language .So learning how to understand and use body language is important

Another proverb warns "do not put all your eggs in one basket". This means you should not put

all of your resources（资源） together in one place because you could risk losing everything at

one time.

Here is more advice: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Also," Never put off until

tomorrow what you can do today."

Yet another proverb advises us not to be concerned about something bad that you cannot

change. It says," There is no use crying over spilled milk."

Do you agree with the proverb" Children should be seen and not heard"? Maybe you have told

your children that" hard work never hurt anyone". But other people say that" all work and no
