(23-24八年级下·上海浦东新·期末)Most countries have medals for brave soldiers. But what about brave animals? Many animals go to war: horses, dogs, cows and pigeons, to name a few. Are there any awards for them?
In fact, there is one. It’s called the Dickin Medal, and it’s given to animals who show bravery and devotion to duty while serving with the armed forces (武装部队) or civil emergency services (民事紧急服务). The award was created by and named after Maria Dickin in 1943. She had previously set up the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA)-an organization that took care of injured animals. During the Second World War, many animals were given the Dickin Medal, including one cat, three horses,18 dogs and 32 pigeons.
Pigeons? You ask. Yes, pigeons. OK, they may seem unlikely to receive a bravery medal, but they were very important to the war effort. During the Second World War, communications weren’t what they are today. There was no internet, no-mail, no mobile phones and no satellites. So, on many occasions, soldiers had to use homing pigeons to pass on messages. These pigeons are born with an ability to find their way home, even if they are quite far away. During the war, homing pigeons were used to carry messages. These messages were usually written on small pieces of paper and were tied to their legs.
One of the most famous pigeons to win the medal was Paddy. He was an Irish pigeon, and one of the first pigeons to return to base out of hundreds launched. He was bringing news of the successful D-Day landings in Normandy (诺曼底). He crossed the English Channel in just 4 hours and 5 minutes (a record).
Another famous pigeon was G. I. Joe. He worked for the United States Army Pigeon service. G. I. Joe saved the lives of the villagers and allied (同盟的) soldiers of the village of Calvi Veccia, Italy. The village had been captured by allied soldiers. But the air force didn’t know this and was about to bomb (轰炸) it. G. I. Joe was given a message to take, and it arrived just in time to avoid the bombing.
1.The Dickin Medal is an award given to ________.
A.brave and devoted soldiers B.brave and devoted animals
C.honest and diligent soldiers D.honest and diligent animals
2.Pigeons were important during the Second World War because ________.
A.they were very brave B.they helped to carry messages

3.The pigeon Paddy was given the Dickin Medal because ________.
A.he was an Irish pigeon
B.he was the first pigeon to return to base
C.he succeeded in carrying an important message
D.he set a record by crossing the English Channel in a short time
4.What would happen if G. I. Joe didn’t send the message in time?
A.G. I. Joe would have died.
B.The allied soldiers would have lost the war.
C.The air force would have killed the pigeon.
D.The villagers and allied soldiers would have died in the bombing.
5.The underlined word “capture” probably means ________.
A.take control B.complete C.save D.block
6.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.The pigeons Paddy and G. I. Joe worked for the same army.
B.The Dickin Medal was created by Maria Dickin, an animal lover.
C.Pigeons carried messages with their mouth while passing on news.
D.No cats were given the Dickin Medal during the Second World War.

VISIT TO BLUE MEADOW FISH FARMWHAT Blue Meadow is one of the first enclosed fish farms in the world. It is a floating structure about the size of two classrooms.
WHERE Located 5 km off Brighton Pier, the farm can produce 166,000 kilograms of fish a year. The fish are housed in four large tanks. The fish raised include barramundi, red snapper, and grouper. They are mainly for local use.
HOW The fish swim safely in separate tanks and are safe from threats like oil spills and harmful plants. The sea water they live in is cleaned and filtered. Bacteria (细菌) and viruses are destroyed by ozonation. In this process, oxygen is pumped into the tanks every hour.

My dad is very tall.

When I was young,
My dad would take me to town.
And we’d go down to the gully (沟),
To catch crawfish in the stream.

Catching them with our hands,
And then we’d cook them up,
And eat them right out of the pot,
Now that I’m an adult,
I still remember those days so well,
And I’m grateful for all the time,
I spent with my dad in the gully.

I want to write a poem for you,
To tell you how special you are.
You fill my life with joy and love,
And I will always treasure it so.
Your laugh is like music to my ears,
Your smile lights up my day.
And when I look into your eyes,
I feel so lucky in every way.
I hope you know how much I care,

(23-24八年级下·上海奉贤·期末)Posted 2 hours ago by Amy
I have always admired students who hand their homework in on time and never forget to do it. Me, on the other hand, … OK, I admit. I’m terrible at getting myself organized! But lately I’ve started keeping a small study diary. I write down everything I need to do and when it needs to be done by. Then I write a reminder a few days before the date just in case. It’s helping.
So I was wondering, what are your tips for getting organized? Post a comment below. I’m hoping we can all share some tips to teach us all better study skills.
Hana: Good question, Amy. I always spend about five minutes at the end of the day tidying up the desktop on my computer. I make a backup of important documents. I delete things I don’t need any more and put everything into the correct folder.
Gloria: The most important thing is to start studying a few weeks before the exams and not leave it until the night before! That’s just common sense, I think.
Lou: Hi, Amy. My tip is to have a big noticeboard in your bedroom, divided into different sections. I’ve got one. It’s a whiteboard. I’ve got a section for each school subject and another one for other stuff. I use board pens to write reminders and I make sure I look at it every day. The best part is when I remove something from the board!

(23-24八年级下·上海浦东新·期末)Story 1 In America in 1940, the twin boys went to live with two different families almost as soon as they were born. The two brothers never saw each other again until 1979, when they met by chance at a party. When they started talking to each other, they discovered some amazing similarities (相似处). First, they found out that they both enjoyed making things out of wood. Later on, they discovered that they had both married women called Linda, and that they both had one son whose first and middle names were James and Alan. Besides, both brothers had called their dogs by the same name-Toy. As if that wasn’t enough, they also found out that they both took their family holiday at the same place every year.
Story 2 In 1996, a Filipino woman called Mrs.Jimena told other people that her three children could breathe underwater like fish. Mrs.Jimena said that her children had three small holes on the sides of their necks below each ear,and that these were like the gills (鳃) on fish. Mrs.Jimena said that she didn’t know how to swim and that her children were just starting to learn. Her family lives in a mountain village far from the sea. According to Mrs.Jimena, the holes in her children’s necks become larger when they are underwater, allowing them to stay underwater for up to six minutes.
Story 3 On 11th October, 1994, a 10-year-old English girl called Vicky Willmore told her mother that she had a headache. Soon afterwards,Vicky began writing in mirror image (镜像). She wrote letters and numbers either upside-down or back-to-front. Although she could read what she wrote, no one else could. She was examined by different doctors, but none of them could find out what was wrong with her. Vicky became very upset, and soon stopped reading and writing altogether. Instead she started watching TV all the time. On 27th, September 1995, Vicky was watching her favorite football team, Manchester United, play on television. When the team scored a goal, she became so excited that she jumped out of her seat and fell backwards, hitting her head on a coffee table. The next day, Vicky could read and write properly again.

(23-24八年级下·上海浦东新·期末)Most countries have medals for brave soldiers. But what about brave animals? Many animals go to war: horses, dogs, cows and pigeons, to name a few. Are there any awards for them?
In fact, there is one. It’s called the Dickin Medal, and it’s given to animals who show bravery and devotion to duty while serving with the armed forces (武装部队) or civil emergency services (民事紧急服务). The award was created by and named after Maria Dickin in 1943. She had previously set up the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA)-an organization that took care of injured animals. During the Second World War, many animals were given the Dickin Medal, including one cat, three horses,18 dogs and 32 pigeons.
Pigeons? You ask. Yes, pigeons. OK, they may seem unlikely to receive a bravery medal, but they were very important to the war effort. During the Second World War, communications weren’t what they are today. There was no internet, no-mail, no mobile phones and no satellites. So, on many occasions, soldiers had to use homing pigeons to pass on messages. These pigeons are born with an ability to find their way home, even if they are quite far away. During the war, homing pigeons were used to carry messages. These messages were usually written on small pieces of paper and were tied to their legs.
One of the most famous pigeons to win the medal was Paddy. He was an Irish pigeon, and one of the first pigeons to return to base out of hundreds launched. He was bringing news of the successful D-Day landings in Normandy (诺曼底). He crossed the English Channel in just 4 hours and 5 minutes (a record).
Another famous pigeon was G. I. Joe. He worked for the United States Army Pigeon service. G. I. Joe saved the lives of the villagers and allied (同盟的) soldiers of the village of Calvi Veccia, Italy. The village had been captured by allied soldiers. But the air force didn’t know this and was about to bomb (轰炸) it. G. I. Joe was given a message to take, and it arrived just in time to avoid the bombing.

A.brave and devoted soldiers B.brave and devoted animals

A.they were very brave B.they helped to carry messages

A.he was an Irish pigeon
B.he was the first pigeon to return to base

4.What would happen if G. I. Joe didn’t send the message in time?
A.G. I. Joe would have died.
B.The allied soldiers would have lost the war.
C.The air force would have killed the pigeon.
D.The villagers and allied soldiers would have died in the bombing.
5.The underlined word “capture” probably means ________.
A.take control B.complete C.save D.block
6.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.The pigeons Paddy and G. I. Joe worked for the same army.

I hope we’ll always get along,
And share a laugh or sing a song.
(2)
When I was young,
My dad would take me to town.
And we’d go down to the gully (沟),
To catch crawfish in the stream.
We’d spend hours on the bank,
Catching them with our hands,
And then we’d cook them up,
And eat them right out of the pot,
Now that I’m an adult,
I still remember those days so well,
And I’m grateful for all the time,
I spent with my dad in the gully.

I want to write a poem for you,
To tell you how special you are.
You fill my life with joy and love,
And I will always treasure it so.
Your laugh is like music to my ears,
Your smile lights up my day.
And when I look into your eyes,
I feel so lucky in every way.
I hope you know how much I care,
And how proud of you I am.

Although it’s located far from any big city, the site attracts about one million visitors per year.

(23-24八年级下·上海奉贤·期末)Posted 2 hours ago by Amy
I have always admired students who hand their homework in on time and never forget to do it. Me, on the other hand, … OK, I admit. I’m terrible at getting myself organized! But lately I’ve started keeping a small study diary. I write down everything I need to do and when it needs to be done by. Then I write a reminder a few days before the date just in case. It’s helping.
So I was wondering, what are your tips for getting organized? Post a comment below. I’m hoping we can all share some tips to teach us all better study skills.
Hana: Good question, Amy. I always spend about five minutes at the end of the day tidying up the desktop on my computer. I make a backup of important documents. I delete things I don’t need any more and put everything into the correct folder.
Gloria: The most important thing is to start studying a few weeks before the exams and not leave it until the night before! That’s just common sense, I think.
Lou: Hi, Amy. My tip is to have a big noticeboard in your bedroom, divided into different sections. I’ve got one. It’s a whiteboard. I’ve got a section for each school subject and another one for other stuff. I use board pens to write reminders and I make sure I look at it every day. The best part is when I remove something from the board!

(23-24八年级下·上海浦东新·期末)Story 1 In America in 1940, the twin boys went to live with two different families almost as soon as they were born. The two brothers never saw each other again until 1979, when they met by chance at a party. When they started talking to each other, they discovered some amazing similarities (相似处). First, they found out that they both enjoyed making things out of wood. Later on, they discovered that they had both married women called Linda, and that they both had one son whose first and middle names were James and Alan. Besides, both brothers had called their dogs by the same name-Toy. As if that wasn’t enough, they also found out that they both took their family holiday at the same place every year.
Story 2 In 1996, a Filipino woman called Mrs.Jimena told other people that her three children could breathe underwater like fish. Mrs.Jimena said that her children had three small holes on the sides of their necks below each ear,and that these were like the gills (鳃) on fish. Mrs.Jimena said that she didn’t know how to swim and that her children were just starting to learn. Her family lives in a mountain village far from the sea. According to Mrs.Jimena, the holes in her children’s necks become larger when they are underwater, allowing them to stay underwater for up to six minutes.
Story 3 On 11th October, 1994, a 10-year-old English girl called Vicky Willmore told her mother that she had a headache. Soon afterwards,Vicky began writing in mirror image (镜像). She wrote letters and numbers either upside-down or back-to-front. Although she could read what she wrote, no one else could. She was examined by different doctors, but none of them could find out what was wrong with her. Vicky became very upset, and soon stopped reading and writing altogether. Instead she started watching TV all the time. On 27th, September 1995, Vicky was watching her favorite football team, Manchester United, play on television. When the team scored a goal, she became so excited that she jumped out of her seat and fell backwards, hitting her head on a coffee table. The next day, Vicky could read and write properly again.
