Dolphins are not fish. They are mammals. They live in
groups and speak to each other in their own language. But they
are quite different from almost all land animals. Their brain is
as big as men's and they live a long life at least 20 or 30
years.
Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to help them find their way around.
They also use these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. They
do not use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaw the lower part of the

It is strange that dolphins are friendly to men,and for thousands of years,
there are many stories about dolphins and men.In the 19th century,in dangerous
part of the sea near New Zealand,there was a dolphin.The seamen liked him very
much and gave him a very good name,Jack.From 1871 to 1903,Jack met every
boat in the area and showed it the way.In 1903,a passenger on a boat with the
name of the Penguin shot and hurt Jack.Luckily the dolphin didn't die,and after a
long time he was well again.He guided the ships through the area for nine more
years,but he refused to help the boat The Penguin.
All in all,dolphins are magic animals.Today,some people still kill dolphins,
but many countries in the world now protect them.In these places,people are not
allowed to kill them.
8.How do dolphins find their way?
A.They use their noses to smell the way.
B.They use their ears to hear the sounds.
C.They use their eyes to see the way.
D.They use sounds to find the way.

Sometimes we may forget something easily.Don't worry.If you want to have
a good memory,please follow me.Here is some advice to help improve your
memory.

review()it regularly.After you learned the material,you need to review it
right away,then two days later,then a week later,then two weeks later,and then a
八年级英语试题第3页共8页
month later.
12
My second advice is to mark the important parts of your book.This will help
you in two ways.On the one hand,it will help you concentrate on()the
most important parts.It is always easier to remember only the key points.
13
When you open your book,the coloured parts will show you the most
important parts at once.In this way,you needn't read every word again.
14 One good time for remembering information is in the
evening.Review what you have learned before going to bed.It will be kept in your
mind deeply.The other good time is in the morning because you have just rested
and your brain is fresh and clear.15
Remember all the advice above,and your memory will be better and better.
A.On the other hand,this will make reviewing easier.
B.Another piece of advice is to review at a proper time.

Keith asked his uncle for advice."Follow me."said Ryan,and he led Keith up
to the high hills around the village.This road was long and difficult,but Keith
followed his uncle.As they got higher,Ryan said that he wanted to go to the top of
the highest hill where he had never been.Keith decided to help his uncle.
With great difficulty,Keith helped his uncle climb the hill.Sometimes he
even carried the old man on his back.At the top,he put his uncle back on the
ground and laughed with joy.
"Do you remember the times when you were a little boy?Sometimes you
returned home with tears in your eyes,"said Ryan."The other children laughed at
you.Do you remember why?"
Keith remembered that as a child he often played on the hills with other
children.They called this hill Mount Impossible,because small children couldn't
reach its top."At that time I couldn't get here.The bigger kids had no problem."
said Keith.
"And today,you not only climbed here,but also helped me climb up."said
Ryan.
"I became bigger and stronger."
"Instead of climbing Mount Impossible every day,you played on the smaller
hills and became better at climbing.You became stronger."said Ryan."Mount
Impossible became possible for you to climb while you didn't even think about it."
It hit Keith suddenly.Success doesn't happen overnight.It depends on
time,hard work and never giving up.
