It felt good taking my family to a nice restaurant. The meal was delicious, and we all had a good time together. The gift card covered almost all of the check (帐单). I reached into my wallet to get enough money to cover the rest. I saw two pieces of money inside. The first would cover the rest of the check.

I remembered seeing the other waitresses worrying about how they were going to pay the rent (房租). I remembered the pain in their eyes and the sadness in their faces at the end of the day. I was back in the present again, with my fingers touching the smaller piece in my wallet. I smiled, pushed it back down and picked out the larger one. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, we handed them to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart. We are all one family in this world.

However, the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk. It is said that Meng Tian, a general of the Kingdom (王国) Qin, improved the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against the Kingdom of Chu, he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it. One day after hunting (狩猎), Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it, “If I tie (绑) the rabbit’s hair to a stick , would it be easy to write with?” On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth to write well and wasted a lot of silk. Meng was so disappointed that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard. However, Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later, he happened to find his “invention” fatter in a stone hole. He picked it up with hope. The brush worked beautifully on silk. It turned out that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last. Thanks to Meng, the brush pen is playing a key role in Chinese culture. Today, students are taught to use the brush pens in school. It makes their life more colorful and helps them better understand Chinese culture. 1．Why did Meng Tian want to improve the pen? A．Because the king asked him to do so.

About 400, 000 students get hurt in the UK every year. According to the Red Cross, only 25% of students know first aid skills. Most students feel nervous when they face accidents. It’s very important for more students to take a first aid course. In this way, they will be prepared when accidents happen. If parents can only teach children one thing about first aid, they should teach them how to stay cool first. Things will get worse if they are too scared. Although students can learn the 20- hour first aid course online, it is much better to take the face- to- face course. William, a doctor from the Red Cross in the UK, said students must take a face-to-face course for at least 6 hours. Here are three tips from the first aid course. *How to deal with burns Children should be careful when using fire. If they get burnt, they should cool the burn with running water or ice first. Then put some medicine on it. After that, bandage the burn. *How to deal with small cuts Clean the cut and put a bandage on it. If the blood doesn’t stop, press the cut until it stops. When bleeding stops, put a new clean bandage on it. *How to deal with fracture (骨折) Don’t move the person. Go and look for adults or call 120 for help. Before helpers come, keep talking to the person to cheer him up. 1．Which chart shows the number of the students who know first aid skills? (■students who know first aid skills  □students who don’t know first aid skills) A． B． B． C． D． 2．What’s the first thing parents should teach their children? A．To call 120. B．To keep cool. C．To stay away. D．To take lessons. 3．Which first aid course may William tell a student to take? A．An online course for 18 hours. B．An online course for 10 hours. C．A face-to-face course for 8 hours. D．A face-to-face course for 4 hours. 4．What is the first step if children get cut? A．Cleaning the cut. B．Cooling the cut. C．Bandaging the cut. D．Putting medicine on the cut. 5．What is the purpose (意图) of the passage? A．To tell the number of first aid course. B．To introduce the Red Cross. C．To tell the difficulty of first aid course. D．To tell the importance of first aid course. 13. 广东省茂名市高州市2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末质量监测英语试题 The summer vacation is on the way! Spend time on your computers or on your mobile phones?

It felt good taking my family to a nice restaurant. The meal was delicious, and we all had a good time together. The gift card covered almost all of the check (帐单). I reached into my wallet to get enough money to cover the rest. I saw two pieces of money inside. The first would cover the rest of the check. The second would cover the check and give the waitress a nice tip (小费). I reached down to pick the first one. At that moment, my mind went back to 30 years ago. I was working as a waiter in a restaurant much like this one. It was long hours of hard work for low pay. I remembered seeing the other waitresses worrying about how they were going to pay the rent (房租). I remembered the pain in their eyes and the sadness in their faces at the end of the day. I was back in the present again, with my fingers touching the smaller piece in my wallet. I smiled, pushed it back down and picked out the larger one. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, we handed them to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart. We are all one family in this world.

However, the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk. It is said that Meng Tian, a general of the Kingdom (王国) Qin, improved the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against the Kingdom of Chu, he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it. One day after hunting (狩猎), Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it, “If I tie (绑) the rabbit’s hair to a stick , would it be easy to write with?” On arriving home, he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth to write well and wasted a lot of silk. Meng was so disappointed that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard. However, Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later, he happened to find his “invention” fatter in a stone hole. He picked it up with hope. The brush worked beautifully on silk. It turned out that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last. Thanks to Meng, the brush pen is playing a key role in Chinese culture. Today, students are taught to use the brush pens in school. It makes their life more colorful and helps them better understand Chinese culture. 1．Why did Meng Tian want to improve the pen? A．Because the king asked him to do so. B．Because he wanted to be an inventor. C．Because he didn’t have silk to write on. D．Because the pen brought him much trouble. 2．What does the underlined word “disappointed” in Paragraph 4 mean?

About 400, 000 students get hurt in the UK every year. According to the Red Cross, only 25% of students know first aid skills. Most students feel nervous when they face accidents. It’s very important for more students to take a first aid course. In this way, they will be prepared when accidents happen. If parents can only teach children one thing about first aid, they should teach them how to stay cool first. Things will get worse if they are too scared. Although students can learn the 20- hour first aid course online, it is much better to take the face- to- face course. William, a doctor from the Red Cross in the UK, said students must take a face-to-face course for at least 6 hours. Here are three tips from the first aid course. *How to deal with burns Children should be careful when using fire. If they get burnt, they should cool the burn with running water or ice first. Then put some medicine on it. After that, bandage the burn. *How to deal with small cuts Clean the cut and put a bandage on it. If the blood doesn’t stop, press the cut until it stops. When bleeding stops, put a new clean bandage on it. *How to deal with fracture (骨折) Don’t move the person. Go and look for adults or call 120 for help. Before helpers come, keep talking to the person to cheer him up. 1．Which chart shows the number of the students who know first aid skills?
