2024-2025学年八年级下册阅读填空专练 Week 17 A If you live outside, do you always think that your family are always better than your neighbors? Well, you may want to go back to your family when you study or work in a new place. When you live in a new neighborhood, you may want to eat the food and talk to the people in your family. You may also be afraid to meet new people because you don’t know their names, habits or work. After working or studying, call your family to let them know everything is fine. But the problem is that they may not really help you much because you don’t live with them. If you are lucky, you can have friendly neighbors next to your house. These kinds of people always welcome new people in the neighborhood. Sometimes they will bring their own food to you when they see you are at home. If the neighbors are at about your age, you can easily make friends with them. Then you will feel good. Also, you can feel different when living in a new place. Some people like this because they think it can help them forget the problems and the unhappy life they lived before moving to the new place. They say it’s like starting a new life.

There are many famous historical sites. Among them, a two-meter-wide alley(小巷), or Liu Chi Xiang(六尺巷) in Chinese, is a very popular one. Lots of people come to visit it every year. There is a touching story about the alley. In the Qing Dynasty, a senior official named Zhang Ying received a letter from his family in his hometown one day. From the letter, Zhang learned that his family had a disagreement with their neighbor, the Wu family, over the house boundary(边界). Zhang’s family wrote the letter hoping that he could put pressure on the Wu family. However, Zhang wrote a letter back saying, “Writing a letter from home, miles away, just for a wall, What harm(损害) is there in giving them one meter? Looking at the ten-thousand-li-long Great Wall, Long gone is its builder Emperor Qinshihuang.” After reading the letter, Zhang’s family members realized that the relationship with their neighbor was much more important than the wall. They moved their wall one meter back for their neighbor. The Wu family was deeply touched by what the Zhang family did and moved their wall one meter back as well. It created a two-meter-wide alley between the two houses. Hundreds of years later, the story of Liu Chi Xiang still tells us that kindness and tolerance(宽容) can take away walls between persons, families and nations, and they can create love as well.

Do you know what an important role it plays in the whole world? Have you visited any famous places along the road? Although it’s called the Silk Road, people bought and sold much more than silk. The Silk Road goes through Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Europe. It is 6,500 km from Xi’an, China, to Rome, Italy. My dad is very interested in the Silk Road and he has told me many things about it. Last summer, my family took a holiday and went to some places along the road. We started in Lanzhou and went on to Wuwei. Wuwei is a very important city on the Silk Road. It connects(连接) three main cities in the area. In ancient times, it was also a capital(首都). Although it’s now a modern city, you can get a feeling of history when you visit it. We saw lots of very old stone monuments and people there were very proud of their city’s long history. The next stop was Jiayuguan. It’s on the edge(边缘) of the desert, and is also an important place on the Silk Road. It is a busy city with a lot of people coming and going. Even today, it’s a city that many business people travel through. An important part of the Great Wall was also built here. After that, we went on to Yumenguan. I first found out about Yumenguan in a famous poem written by Wang Zhihuan. It is in the Gobi Desert and is the only connection between Central Asia and China. I wonder how people ever made it through the hot desert so long ago. This trip isn’t just a scenic(观光的) journey. It helps me understand the history of the areas and see how people from different places influences(影响) each other in many ways. It connects three main 2. ____ It was also a capital.

A yard sale may be better than the other choices(选择). Yard sales are easy to plan. You can start by collecting things for sale. Search boxes and shelves for things you don’t need anymore. And here are some tips(建议) which may help you. ★ It can be hard to part with things, even if you never use them. If you haven’t used something for over a year, it’s a good sign you won’t miss it. ★ Sell anything you don’t want or use anymore like clothes that don’t fit you, dishes that you never use, outdated(过时的) board games that you’ve played, soft toys, and other unwanted things. ★ People will buy just about anything. While there are certain hot sellers like children’s toys and old tools,don’t be afraid to try to sell things that you can’t imagine anyone buying. The worst thing is that nobody buys it and you’ll have to throw it away. ★ Make sure the things are clean and not broken to keep them from hurting others. You might be surprised. Many people will buy broken cookers(厨灶), old doors and other things you may consider putting out for free.
