Our school made a survey about the housework the students in Grade 8 did on the weekend. Here are the results. Housework Done by Students in Grade 8 on the Weekend 542 boys and 405 girls 1. What kind of housework do the students do most? A. Doing the dishes. B. Making dinner. C. Cleaning the room. 2. Which of the following is TRUE? A. About 300 boys do the dishes. B. There are 947 students in Grade 8. C. More boys wash the clothes than girls. B Today, an increasing (增加) number of people are always looking at their mobile phones with their heads down. These people are called the “Heads-down Tribe (低头族)”. Are you a heads-down tribe member? Heads-down tribe members now can be seen everywhere. More and more traffic accidents are happening because more drivers use mobile phones when they are driving. In order to make drivers pay more attention to driving, some new traffic rules have been made. For example, people who use mobile phones while driving in Taiwan are fined (罚款). Car drivers and motorcyclists who break the traffic rule will be fined NT $3,000 and NT $1,000 respectively (分别地). As we can see above, using mobile phones may cause accidents and even cost a lot of money. Also, more and more interesting and strange facts happen to the "Heads-down Tribe. Let’s have a look at an interesting TV report. A man in America kept using his mobile phone on his way home. As a result, he knocked into a big lost bear. When he lifted his eyes from the phone, he was so afraid that he turned around and ran away quickly. Another fact is that we can often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but looking at their own mobile phones. It’s strange that they don’t talk to the ones who sit opposite to them during the meal. Some of them even have fun communicating with others on the phone. Mobile phones are helpful and necessary tools (工具) for modern life Are mobile phones good or bad? It depends on how people use them. Let’s be "healthy users and try to be the “Heads-up Tribe”. 3. What is a heads-down tribe? A. Heads-down tribe member is good at using the Internet. B. It is a dangerous driver. C. It is always looking at his or her mobile phone. 4. The underlined word “motorcyclists” in the passage means ________ in Chinese. A. 摩托车手 B. 手机使用者 C. 低头族 5. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Drive your car carefully B. Use mobile phones properly C. Be a heads-down tribe member C The most common disease in the world is the cold. It often starts with a sore throat (嗓子痛). You sneeze (打喷嚏) and your nose runs. You usually have a headache, too. Often you have a cough later. It’s not a serious disease, but you can feel quite bad. There isn’t good medicine for a cold, but you can take medicine to make you feel better. It’s good to rest, and to drink a lot of water, too. A doctor once told me, “With the right medicine, a cold will last for several days. With no medicine, it will go on for a whole week!” Where does our medicine come from? A long time ago, people found that some plants made them feel better. They ate leaves, roots, fruits or seeds of plants. We know the juice of lemons makes a sore throat feel better. In modern times, scientists have studied many plants, and found out what chemicals are in them. Many kinds of our medicines today are made from those chemicals. There are some diseases that we can’t treat yet. But because of modern medicine, people now live longer than their grandparents. 6. From this article, a cold often starts with ________. A. a cough B. a pain in your throat C. a fever 7. What should we do when we catch a cold? A. We should wait for a whole week. B. We should stay in hospital for a week. C. We should have a good rest and drink much water. 8. What makes a sore throat feel better? A. Examining of a doctor. B. The juice of oranges. C. Something inside lemons.
