But now people in the towns and cities do not need dogs to fight other animals. They keep them to frighten thieves, but the most important reason is that people feel lonely in the city. For a child, a dog is the best friend when he has no friends to play with. For a young wife, a dog is her child when she doesn't have her own.

另一个重要的语法知识点是被动语态。

在第二单元中，我们学习了被动语态的构成和用法。

被动语态用来表示主语是动作的承受者，而不是主动执行者的句子。

九年级英语阅读20篇1I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on Christmas Day. It was always quite in the emergency room on this day, so I was not expecting any patients. When I was complaining about working on such a beautiful festival ,five people showed up at my desk —a pale woman and four small children.“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 got a little vague(模糊的）. The children had earaches, but they could not tell me which ear was in pain. The mother complained of a cough, but she seemed to be pretending.Something was wrong. I didn’t say anything but explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them.” Take your time, please,” the mother responded. On a hunch(出于直觉)I checked their charts(记录)—no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless and the hospital was warm.I look out at the family, huddling(蜷缩) together under the Christmas tree, smiling and chatting with each other sweetly. Quietly,I went back to the nurses’ station and told them that we had a homeless family in the waiting room. It was just like the God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. We took out our meals for our Christmas “patients”. We also put together oranges and apples as presents. We worked hard to exceed the needs of a family who only wanted a warm place on Christmas Day. Later, when the family was leaving, the 4-year-old girl ran back and gives me a kiss. “Thanks for__________________________today，”she whispered in my ear.1.

The weighted glass bottle sank almost to the sea floor, and then it move slowly for 108 years and 138 days.Its journey ended when Marianne Winkler found the bottle in 2015. Winkler was then on vacation on Amrum Island. She picked up the bottle when it was washed up onto the beach. She saw a piece of paper inside, but didn’t break it open. She could tell that the bottle was old. So she didn’t want to damage it.Finally she got the piece of paper out of the bottle. She found that the paper was actually a postcard. On the back of the cardthere was this message: The Marine Biological Association（海洋生物学协会） would pay a shilling（先令） for the bottle. A shilling was a unit of money that was used in Great Britain before the early 1970s.Winkler filled out the card and posted it. The association was surprised to get a postcard addressed to George Bidder, the president of the association from 1939 to 1945. The workers of the association searched on the Internet to find a shilling. They found one and sent it to Winkler as a reward.The message in the bottle was the oldest ever re-discovered. For this reason Marianne Winkler got a place in “Guinness World Records”（吉尼斯世界纪录）. She broke the record for the oldest message in a bottle.Winkler’s bottle was not the only one Bidder sent to sea. Between 1904 and 1906, he spent away more than one thousand bottles. He placed postcards inside them. The bottles were part of a research project to map currents（洋流） in the North Sea. This was the best method at that time. But whether the association could get the bottles back depended on the people who found them. The association reported that about 55 percent of the bottles were returned. They added that the experimentwas a success as it showed the east-to-west flow of the North Sea’s currents.1.

She ate her favorite breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast and juice. Her mother gave her a kiss before opening the front door and wishing her daughter a good day.Elizabeth, carefully tapping along, made her way down the sidewalk to her best friend Kate's front door. Elizabeth used to attend a school for the blind. Today she was joining Kate at Washington Carver Elementary. "Here comes my brother." Elizabeth said, Kate looked around but saw no one. Then, suddenly, John came around the next corner on his skateboard. "How did you know John was coming?" Kate asked."From the sound of the wheels on his board," replied Elizabeth. "I'd know it anywhere." Kate listened again until she heard the joyful sound hidden among all the much louder noises on the street.John road along the sidewalk, moving from one side to the other and back again, until he came to a stop in front of Elizabeth and Kate. "Hey, Sis" he said. "Good luck today!" "Thanks John," said Elizabeth. "Any words of wisdom for me?" "Yeah," her brother replied, smiling. "Stay away from the Sloppy Joes in the cafeteria." After these words, John went away on his board.Kate wondered if Elizabeth still remembered eating the sloppy joes before she lost her sight at the age of six, because of a high fever. Kate wondered if she felt sad. She decided to ask. "I used to think I couldn't do anything," explained Elizabeth. "But now I know that I can do most things. I just need a little more learning time." Kate could see the sunny smile on her friend's face.Giving her friend a big hug, Kate said to herself,"____________________________________".88.

No one will like what you do.”Brian cannot understand why they are being so unkind to him. For a moment, he thinks he will not participate. But then, he remembers how much his friends and teachers like his jokes. He decides to go ahead and prepare his comedy for the show. Brian does a great job at the talent show.

However, after my first visit to UK during the summer vacation, I think one thing should be added to the list—street artists.In York, I met a “purple man”. He was in the middle of the street and was pretending to ride a bike. Most of the time, he stood there without making a move. When people went close to him, he would make fun of them putting paint in their Some ranaway to avoid being painted while some accepted it with a smile. From the collection pot beside his foot, I could see that he made a living by taking photos with tourists.I met another performer in Edinburgh. He stood quite still (静止的）and was simply staring at the ground with several flyers (传单）in his hands. When a passer-by took a flyer, he .would dance for a while and then stand still again.Not all street artists are performing for money. Once I saw a young man just lying on the street; facing the ground as if listening to the heartbeat of nature.Before I went to Britain, I had heard that the people there were quite serious and somewhat dull. But what I saw on the streets changed my idea about them completely. These people are interesting and full of unexpectedly good ideas. They just wanted to express themselves in their own ways.Seeing is believing一that’s another thing I learned from my trip, and from the amazing street artists.1.How many street artists does the writer mention?(1分)2.How did the purple man make fun of people who went close to him? (2 分）3.When a passer-by took a flyer from the street artist in Edinburgh, what would he do? (2 分）4.What does the writer think of British people after his trip?(2 分）5. What does "Seeing is believing” mean in Chinese? And what does the writer mean by saying it? (3 分）7You may think that inventions are far away from your everyday life. But in fact, almost everyone can invent. It's just that they do not recognize that their idea could be the start of an invention. Once inventors see their ideas have some practical value, they don't let them slip away.For example, the inventors of the dishwasher, American Josephine Cochrane, loved to give dinner parties. But she found it took too long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke. She decided that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes. So, in 1886, she set out to make one for herself.Most inventions are created to solve a problem. So, the first and most important step is to find the problem. Start by lookingat what is wrong with things you see now and ask people around if they remember ever saying, "I wish someone would invent something for ..." Then you might notice situations or things in need of improvement.The next step is to think about possible solutions. An invention is a new way of solving a problem. You can often come up with a solution to a problem if you think about it in a new way. When you try to invent things, you actually use a problem-solving technique(技巧). This problem-solving technique includes two parts:____________and___________. It can work in your everyday lives. So, why not try it in your studies, in your relationship with others, or even in the way you look at the world?1. Inventions are close to our daily life, aren’t they?2. What was the problem that Cochrane found in her life?3. According to the passage, why do people create things?4. How can we find a problem?5. Complete the sentence in the last paragraph.6. What do you want to invent for your everyday life? Why? (Give at least two reasons)8.Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955. When he was a boy, Jobs and his father always worked on electronics.

We were grocery shopping in a small store one day when I noticed a family come into the store. It looked like a mother, her daughter, and her granddaughter. They were clean, but dressed in worn clothes,and it was clear they were less fortunate. They pushed a cart through the store, carefully selecting items, only necessary foods.My mother and I finished our shopping and headed toward the counter to pay. As we got there, the family was in front of us, with one person in between. As I watched the family place groceries on the conveyor belt, I heard the mother ask the clerk ever so often to check the price, as she only had so much to spend. This took a while, and the person in front of me was getting impatient, mumbling about how he wished they would hurry and finish. When the store clerk did a final total, the woman did not have enough money, so she began pointing to different items to be put back.My mother then did something I will never forget. She reached into her purse, pulled out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to the woman. The woman looked very surprised and said, "I can't take that!" My mother looked directly at the woman and quietly replied, "Yes, you most certainly can. Consider it a gift. There's nothing in that cart you don't really need, so please accept it. "The woman then reached out and took the money, holding my mom's hand for just a moment, and with tears runningdown her cheeks, said, "Thank you so much. No one has ever done anything this nice for me before. "I learned from my mother that day that the best kind of giving is giving from the heart.1.

He held a sign which said, "I am blind, please help me."There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?"The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way."What he had written was, "Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it."Do you think the first sign and second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.The first is: Treasure (珍惜) what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.The second is: Be creative(有创造力的). Think differently. There is always a better way！1.Who sat on the steps of a building asking for help ?___________________________________________________________ _________2.A man walked by and gave the boy a few coins, didn’t he ? ___________________________________________________________ _________3.What did the man do to the boy’s sign ?___________________________________________________________ _________4.What happened to the boy’s hat soon ?___________________________________________________________ _________5.How did the man write the sign?___________________________________________________________ _________6.Which sign do you prefer, the first one or the second one?

初三英语作文范文（Unit 1-4）Unit 1 ①假如你叫李婷，你的朋友温欣想知道如何提高英语，请你写一封信给你的朋友，给他一些学习英语的建议。

Dear Wenxin,There are three good ways to learn English. One way is being interested in what you are doing. If you are interested in something, your brain will be more active and you will be more focused（集中注意）. If you like music, I think you should listen to English songs. If you do this, you will be able to improve your pronunciation.It is also a good idea to read English books because well-written books can teach you many new words and how they are used. You could try to improve your listening and speaking skills as you will have a chance to listen to natural speech.（地道的演讲）I hope these ways will work well for you !Your friend,Li Ting②假如你是安妮（Annie），你收到了你的笔友李雷的邮件。
