牛津译林版8B英语期中复习--任务型阅读+首字母填空（一）Each summer, you hear news that some sports players are sent to hospitals because it is too hot. Our bodies can’t be outside in the sun for a long time. So in hot summers, be careful about playing sports outside.Firstly, to play sports safely in hot weather, you must drink water. Sports drinks are great for athletes, but they have so much sugar that they’ll dehydrate(使脱水) you more. However, drinking a few bottles of sports drinks will be good for you.Secondly, be sure to ta ke enough rest to let your body rest. If your coach doesn’t let you do so in the heat, don’t wait until you feel uncomfortable. Just be honest with your coach when you need rest.Thirdly, when you have a rest, don’t sit in the sun. With the sun beating dow n on you, you’ll only heat up and sweat(冒汗) more. Take a seat under a tree, or even better, go indoors for a little while. Cooling yourself down can help you stay active longer.Fourthly, remember that the earlier in the day you start your exercise, the cooler it will be. If you can start practice before the sun comes up, you have a few good hours to practice in the cool hours of the morning. Also, the earlier you practice, the earlier you can finish the exercise. If you need more practice time, come back to the field later in the evening when the sun is setting.Last but not least, you should watch your food. Eat food which is high in water, starch(淀粉) and carbohydrate(糖类), but be sure to get a good balance in your diet.As long as you pay attention to the above, playing sports safely in the heat isn’t a（二）Everyone has worries. But what can you do when you have worries? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these three steps to deal with your worries:1. Try to find out what you're worried aboutSometimes, you can know what you're worrying about. Other times, you might not. Try to find it out first. if you can't, you can ask others for help.2. Think of ways to make it betterThere is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting thereworrying can't solve your problem.Grades at school are often top worries for kids. If you're worried about grades, ask yourself these questions:✧Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me?✧How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes (复习课堂笔记) evenwhen there isn't a test?✧Do I have a good place to do my homework?✧Have I tried different ways of studying?If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you can do: write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her and so on. If you know the things you can do, you can do one of them to get your friend back.3. Ask for helpWhen you're worried, it can help to find someone to talk to. You can ask your（三）Sometimes it may seem difficult to improve our health. If so, the following health habits may help you.Eat breakfast every morningResearch(研究) 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(影响) our memory and learning. It can also cause traffic accidents! 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 of exercising. 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 musicgroups. The people in the group can offer advice and can help each other in difficulttimes. Also, being in a group keeps your mind busy. And active mind is a healthymind.Have a hobbyA hobby could be running, reading or making something with your hands. ◆It may ___4____ traffic accidentsevery ◆Walking is an easy way of ___5____. You’d better meet friends for a walk __6___ of a meal. ◆Enj oy the ___7____ world around you while walking.◆You can get much support, ___8____ and help from socialHas anyone ever told you that eating carrots will help you see in the dark? Thisis just one of many incorrect thoughts you may have heard. Below, TEENS haspicked out scientific explanations for three mistakes that people make about their eyes.Let’s take a look.Can eating more carrots help you see better?Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which helps the eyes to turn light into informationfor your brain.This allows people to see in darker places.However, eating more carrots won’t help you see better. A certain minimumamount will help, but a large number of carrots will not give you superhuman vision.If your parents have bad eyesight, will you have bad eyesight, too?Parents can pass myopia(近视）onto children.A study by the American Optometric Association found that if both parents aremyopic, there’s a 33 to 60 percent chance that their child will be. For children whohave one parent with myo pia, the chance is 23 to 40 percent, and it’s down to 6 to 15percent for kids with non-myopic parents. So though your eyesight is bad, yourchildren might still have good vision.Do color blind people see the world in black and white?Color blindness doesn’t usually mean that people see the world in black andwhite.They usually can’t tell certain colors apart, especially green and red. Anothercommonly confused pair of colors is yellow and blue.Our eyes have cone cells(视锥细胞), they can sense different wavelengths(波长) oflight. Color blindness will appear if people’s cone cells don’t work in a proper way.There are different levels of color blindness. Some people are only color blind inlow light. However, in the most serious form of color blindness, everything is shadesof gray.（五）Typing(打字) is one of the most important and basic work skills of the 21st century. Because mobile phones are now so popular, there is a new kind of typing-thumbing. Thumbing means people use one or more thumbs(拇指) to touch the keys.Most people can type between 20 and 35 words a minute. Some typists, however, can work very quickly, at more than 110 words a minute. And people’s left hand usually does 56 percent of the typing.The most common international English keyboard is QWERTY. People name it after the first letters on the top left side of the keyboard. It is more than 140 years old. Other keyboards include QWERTY (in Central Europe) and AZERTY (used by most French speakers in Europe). Countries with non-Roman alphabets(字母系统), such as, Arabia, Russia or Japan, have their own keyboards.People practise the sentence ”The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” to make their typing better. That’s because it uses every letter o f the English alphabet.Thumbing and typing can hurt you. RSI (repetitive strain injury) is the name of a medical condition you get if you type too much. However, most people do not understand what RSI is or how serious it can be. Anyone who uses a computer a lot is（六）If you want to know which social media platforms Chinese youths like now, you better not miss short videos. On popular short video apps, including Douyin and Kuaishou, users can upload(上传) short videos, the content of which are from cooking and physical exercise to dancing and gatherings, and share them with other users.A 12-year-old user named Xiaoqianyu has up to 2.6 million followers on Douyin.The girl, who has enjoyed dancing since she was inkindergarten（幼儿园）, has uploaded videos showingher learning jazz dance and finger dance since lastJuly. One of the videos won her about one million fans,and she has become famous as a result. "whilerecording the movements, I add music to the video, soit is easy and fun to shoot the videos," said Xiaoqianyu.Another user, named Xiaozhou, she likes Kuaishou best. "Most people think the life showed on Kuaishou is low. Instead, I think those videos give those people a voice. The short videos in different types bring happiness to their daily life." Xiaozhou said.However, some young Chinese feel bored with some short videos."Killing time is the only reason for me to watch the short videos, but I really don't like the content of the videos. Moreover, many dances in the videos are almost the same, which are boring ." said Houyu, a 21-year-old student at Anhui Foreign Language University.The main reason behind the fast development（发展）of short videos is to attract （吸引）others’ attention. Short videos encourage users to show themselves and funny things. So the youths make short videos to share with others and invite them to understand what they think is funny.Popular social media platforms-- short videosPeople who like short videos Xiaoqianyu The girl __1__to enjoy dancing when she was in kindergarten.She became famous _2__one of her videos won herabout one million fans.She _3___ it easy and fun to shoot the videos.

The farmer o3his seed（种子) corn to his neighbors."How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors?" the reporter asked. "You know they are taking part in the competition with you each year. ""Why, sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen (花粉)from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbors grow b 4 corn , cross-pollination ( 异花传粉) will be not good for my corn. S 5 if I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors to grow good corn. "The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn cannot improve I 6 his neighbors’ corn cannot improve.As a great man says, "We make a living by w 7 we get ; we make a life by what we give to others. " We can't live w 8 food, clothes, and many other things.H 9 , a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get, but by how much we can give others. Giving, instead of taking, makes us different from other animals. So those who choose to live well must help others to live well, and those who choose to be happy must help others to find h 10 in their life.首字母填空(一)1 sales2 rising3 Another4 experience5 completed6 If7 between8 easily9 refuse 10 pick（二）1. won2. lesson3. happy4. when/whenever5. hurt6. led7. bit8. leader9.
