Yuki ran to get it, but she fell over an old tire and hurt her knee. “Mrs. Ford, that old park is awful! No one could play there without getting hurt. Maybe we could fix it up,” said Yuki. Mrs. Ford sighed (叹气). “I think it would cost at least $11,000. The school can’t pay for it.” “We could have a school sale to get some money!” shouted Emma. All the children and teachers thought it was a good idea. They held the school sale on Sunday. Each class had a booth. Some booths had games and prizes. One class sold hot dogs. One class painted people’s faces. Everyone had a great time. On Monday, Mrs. Ford’s class added up the money from the school sale. “Oh, no!” Yuki said. “We only made $316!” No one spoke. A few children sighed. Then the headmaster Mr. Peter came. A reporter from a TV station was with him.

But we could help fix up this park in other ways. Please think about it.” The whole town learned about the park. The next week, Mr. Peter came to the classroom and asked Mrs. Ford to bring her class out to the parking lot. The children could not believe what they saw!

Only through experiences and accenting mistakes and failures (失败) can we move forward. We could say that life is a journey of learning, and the only way to get the better of it is by living. We never learn through the experiences of others. It is true that at birth we depend on adults to survive (生存) but it is also true that we try our best to have our own experiences to learn, and then grow. To learn, we need to discover, fail and be right. That is learning by trying and making mistakes until we find our way to success. Since we were very little, we learned more from our own experiences than from the advice of adults. By living the experience itself, we internalize (内化) it meaningfully and deeply. So, most of these teachings will stay in our memory. If we want to learn, grow and improve ourselves, we are going to fail. However, getting up and moving on makes us stronger, braver and smarter. It gives us a collection of reasons to feel proud. Blaming (指责) ourselves for failing is not accepting our human condition and losing the opportunity to continue learning and moving forward. We could say that the more mistakes we make, the more we are living. We are becoming stronger after our failures, getting up after falling and getting back on feet even when being wrong hurts. So, the best way is living different experiences, without fear of the result. In order to grow, we must move forward and move on. Falling is inevitable. We do it from the time we are very small, when we learn to walk, ride a bike. Failing is inevitable when we want to move forward, reach our goals or change something that does not make us happy. However, it is wonderful to learn and discover our power. 28．Which of the following is an example of learning through our own experiences? A．Depending on adults to grow. B．Following the advice of others. C．Keeping on walking after falling. D．Blaming ourselves for failing. 29．What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A．We accept ourselves by blaming. B．Failing is the first step of learning. C．Mistakes show the facts we living. D．We make fewer mistakes when growing. 30．The underlined sentence “Falling is inevitable” probably means _______. A．it’s harmful that we will probably fall B．it’s terrible that we will probably fail C．it’s difficult that we will probably fall D．it’s certain that we will probably fail 31．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To advise us to learn from our own experiences. B．To show failing is sure to happen while learning. C．To offer us some ideas on how to learn better. D．To suggest we face mistakes more bravely. 北京市石景山区2023-2024学年八年级上学期期末英语试题 三、阅读理解 Giving Shari was so excited for her birthday. She thought about the fun party and the presents she would get.

Only through experiences and accenting mistakes and failures (失败) can we move forward. We could say that life is a journey of learning, and the only way to get the better of it is by living. We never learn through the experiences of others. It is true that at birth we depend on adults to survive (生存) but it is also true that we try our best to have our own experiences to learn, and then grow. To learn, we need to discover, fail and be right. That is learning by trying and making mistakes until we find our way to success. Since we were very little, we learned more from our own experiences than from the advice of adults. By living the experience itself, we internalize (内化) it meaningfully and deeply. So, most of these teachings will stay in our memory. If we want to learn, grow and improve ourselves, we are going to fail. However, getting up and moving on makes us stronger, braver and smarter. It gives us a collection of reasons to feel proud. Blaming (指责) ourselves for failing is not accepting our human condition and losing the opportunity to continue learning and moving forward. We could say that the more mistakes we make, the more we are living. We are becoming stronger after our failures, getting up after falling and getting back on feet even when being wrong hurts. So, the best way is living different experiences, without fear of the result. In order to grow, we must move forward and move on. Falling is inevitable. We do it from the time we are very small, when we learn to walk, ride a bike. Failing is inevitable when we want to move forward, reach our goals or change something that does not make us happy. However, it is wonderful to learn and discover our power. 28．Which of the following is an example of learning through our own experiences? A．Depending on adults to grow. B．Following the advice of others. C．Keeping on walking after falling. D．Blaming ourselves for failing. 29．What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A．We accept ourselves by blaming. B．Failing is the first step of learning. C．Mistakes show the facts we living. D．We make fewer mistakes when growing. 30．The underlined sentence “Falling is inevitable” probably means _______. A．it’s harmful that we will probably fall B．it’s terrible that we will probably fail C．it’s difficult that we will probably fall D．it’s certain that we will probably fail 31．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To advise us to learn from our own experiences. B．To show failing is sure to happen while learning. C．To offer us some ideas on how to learn better. D．To suggest we face mistakes more bravely. 【答案】 28．C 29．B 30．D 31．A 【导语】 本文主要讲述了只有通过亲身经历，我们才能真正学到东西。只有通过经历和接受错误及失败，我们才能前进。失败是不可避免的，但是从失败中学习和成长是美好的。 28．推理判断题。根据“If we want to learn, grow and improve ourselves, we are going to fail. However, getting up and moving on makes us stronger, braver and smarter.”可推知，摔倒后继续走是通过自己的经历学习的例子。故选C。 29．推理判断题。根据“If we want to learn, grow and improve ourselves, we are going to fail.”可推知，失败是学习的第一步。故选B。 30．词义猜测题。根据“We do it from the time we are very small, when we learn to walk, ride a bike. Failing is inevitable when we want to move forward, reach our goals or change something that does not make us happy.”可知，当我们前进、达成目标或改变某件让我们不高兴的事时，失败是不可避免的，由此推测，划线句的意思是很可能会失败，故选D。 31．主旨大意题。根据“The experience itself is the best way to learn, because otherwise (否则) it wouldn’t be us who learned, but those who lived the experience. Only through experiences and accenting mistakes and failures (失败) can we move forward.”并结合下文可知，文章强调了通过亲身体验学习的重要性，鼓励我们不要依赖别人的经验，而是要亲自去尝试和体验。因此，作者的写作目的是建议我们从自己的经验中学习，故选A。 北京市石景山区2023-2024学年八年级上学期期末英语试题 三、阅读理解 Giving Shari was so excited for her birthday.
