So, my question is—why fill up all this free time with housework? Parents expect their children to get good grades, be good at sports, and be popular with other kids. However, there is not enough time in the day to do these things and then do housework as well. It’s not fair to expect teenagers to give up their precious time to do boring house work. Parents and children both have jobs. Parents’ jobs are in the work place. Their children’s jobs are at school. The only difference is that parents get paid and children don’t. Parents say that they make their kids do housework to teach them responsibility. But this is just a trick. Parents trick their kids into doing housework because they are lazy.

When I was a child, I had to go to a special education school because of my dyslexia (阅读障碍症).

At the age of 5, I started to go to that special school called People of Appraisal.

If we have the correct number of calories (卡路里) and exercise regularly, we will lose weight, keep it and feel great, too. During teenage years, it is important to give our body the energy (能量) it needs. If we don’t eat meals, we won’t get enough calories, and then we will feel tired. By the way, calorie is just another word for energy. About 50% of our calories should come from rice, bread, vegetables and fruit. We also need to drink a lot of water, 6 to 8 glasses a day. Drinking enough water will make our skin better and keep us healthy. Exercise is something that can help to make us look good, feel good and be healthy. Experts (专家) suggest that teenagers should spend at least 30 minutes exercising a day, five times a week. That’s easy to do! They can walk or ride bikes to school, and do sports at school. However, some teenagers often give up sports, saying they have no time left after their studies. In fact, doing exercise can help them sleep better at night and increase their ability to focus on their study. If we follow the suggestions above, we will look and feel much better and become fit. 16．How will we feel if we don’t have meals? (No more than 4 words.) 17．How many glasses of water do we need a day? (No more than 4 words.) 18．What can make our skin better and keep healthy?

He seemed to be about 70 years old. Hearing “yes”, he took out 10 yuan and said to me, “Do you see the old woman selling baked sweet potatoes over there?

That’s what happened to Nick, a worker at a gas station (加油站) in Canada. His sudden luck was because of an act of kindness that he did for a young lady—Mona, a newspaper reporter. One day, Mona stopped at the gas station to refuel (加油). But when Nick was about to refuel for her, she realized (意识到) she didn’t have any money or card with her. She tried to stop Nick at once. Knowing about her trouble, Nick decided to pay her gas bill of about 7 dollars to make sure that she could go home with enough gas. “Madam, I’ll pay for you so that you won’t run out of gas on the road. Whenever you are near here again, you can just give back the money,” Nick said. For Nick, the 7 dollars was almost all the money he made in a day. He was poor and he had to support (养活) a big family. He needed the money very much. He wasn’t even sure whether Mona would come back to give his money back, but he still helped her. Some days later, Mona came back to give his money back. She was so thankful (感激的) that she also posted (发布) their story on the Internet. Great changes took place. Nick became famous in his town.

As normal people, we can bring a great change to life by doing a small good thing. 31．Why did Mona try to stop Nick refueling? 32．What was Nick’s life like before he met Mona? 33．What else did Mona do to show her thanks besides (除了) giving money back? 34．Who decided to give Nick a rise in salary? 35．What can we learn from the story? （八） （23-24八年级下·黑龙江哈尔滨·期中）In America and Canada, a new activity known as “zero waste” is becoming popular. It is carried out in schools, cafes, gyms, parks, restaurants and other places. “Zero waste” activity calls on people to make less trash (垃圾). It asks people to reduce (减少) things we use. People now are using more than they need. According to a new report, American people produce the largest amount of trash in the world. Each person produces about 4.6 pounds of trash each day. More than half of the trash is put into landfills (填埋场) and then burned (焚烧). In fact, this is bad for the environment because it produces waste gas (气) and pollutes water. “Nobody wants to have a landfill near his house,” said Jon D．Johnston, an expert from the Environmental Protection Organization. More landfills are needed to help to carry out “zero waste” activity. “There aren’t enough land-fills, so we can ’t put all our trash into them. We should try to reduce and reuse as much as we can.” 根据短文内容回答问题。 36．Is “zero waste” becoming popular in Europe? 37．How much trash does each person produce each day in America? 38．Why do we say landfills are also bad for the environment? 39．Who’s Jon D．Johnston? 40．What do you think is the best way to make less trash? （九） （23-24八年级下·河北邢台·期中）Students may want to feed street cats in school, but they may not know where the cats are. Now, at Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), students can use their phones to find school cats and get to know them. To give school cats a better life, students of the university made a WeChat mini-program (小程序)—Beiwai Cats. On it, every cat in the university has an “ID card”.

Man can only drink or use the rest which comes from rivers, lakes and the underground (地下). The number of people in the world is becoming larger and larger, so we need more and more fresh water. Now water shortage (短缺) becomes a big problem. And people are trying their best to find more ways to get fresh water. Then what can we do about it? Scientists have found some ways to turn salt water into fresh water. One important way is to boil (煮沸) sea water at a high temperature. In this way, we can make a lot of fresh water. But it often costs too much. And heating is not the only way to get fresh water. People also have other ways, such as digging deep wells (井), keeping rainwater (雨水) and protecting rivers from being polluted. Which way is better? I think to get the most fresh water with the least money is the best. And most importantly, everyone should take part in saving water. And it’s not difficult. We should just try not to waste any water in our everyday life. 46．Where does the fresh water that people can drink come from? 47．Why do we need more and more fresh water? 48．How many ways to get fresh water are mentioned (被提及) in the passage? 49．Who should take part in saving water? 50．As a student, do we need to save water in our daily life? （十一） （23-24八年级下·江苏淮安·期中）A girl riding a bike hit and scratched (刮) a parked expensive car by accident when she was busy looking at a road sign.
