His parents bought him model cars and airplanes, but he preferred using plastic bottles to make his own. When he started middle school, Yang began putting even more effort into making model air-planes. Once, he locked himself up in his room to build a 5-meter-long wooden hang glider. He covered the frame with his bed sheet as he couldn’t afford the proper material for the wings. Yang wanted to try flying the glider by jumping off a hill, but his father found out about his plan and thought it was too dangerous. So his father destroyed the plane.

By the next April I was already worrying about those three months coming up. I told Mr. Simpson about that at his gas station while he filled my car’s tank. “You don’t need to worry in that way,” he said. “Worrying about the heat just makes the summer start sooner and last longer.” I realized, as I paid the bill, that he was right. “Treat the heat like a welcome surprise,” he said. “Take advantage of the best that our summer offers and ignore the rest.” To my surprise, Mr. Simpson’s advice worked.

The sound had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. I didn’t realize what the sound had been until I reached my flat and unlocked the door. It had been my wallet falling to the street. I wasn’t cold or tired any more. I ran out of the door and back to where I had heard the sound. Although I searched the street for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.

The characters from his stories made us laugh and cry throughout our childhood. They gave us a beautiful memory. Andersen was born in the slums (贫民区) of Odense, Denmark, on April 2, 1805. His early life was not easy. His father was a shoemaker and his mother worked as a washerwomen. He received little early education. As a child he was very emotional and was laughed at being feminine (女性化的) and tall. Things got even worse when his father died in 1816 and Andersen had to go out to work, first in a tailor’s shop and then at a tobacco (烟草) factory. At the age of 14 Andersen moved to Copenhagen to start a career as a singer and actor. He struggled for three years until he had to leave the theatre when his voice broke in 1822. Andersen went to a grammar school after he left the theatre. Having done well he was admitted to Copenhagen University in 1828. He began to publish his fairy tales in 1835. Although Andersen lived a hard life, he tried to make people laugh in all his stories. He wrote because he didn’t want children to have a sad childhood as he did. “Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan’s (天鹅) egg,” he once said. His stories brought Andersen world fame (名声), but he remained a lonely man. He loved three women in his life, but none of them loved him back and he never married. His friends were not close to him, they only paid for his stories. “Only living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.” he said. Andersen died on August 4, 1875.

Cece Bell’s story is a good example. When she was four years old, Cece Bell became deaf and had to wear a hearing aid. As the only deaf student at her school, Bell wished that there was a list of instructions to help people understand and communicate with her better. When she was older, this inspired Bell to write the graphic (图画的) novel EI Deafo, which is partly based on her life but with talking rabbits instead of humans. In this book, Cece finds that she can use her hearing aid like a superpower and becomes the hero EI Deafb. The book was a huge success and won lots of awards, and now it has been turned into a famous TV series. In an interview with the newspaper, Bell explained why she decided to make all the characters in EI Deafo rabbits, “I wanted to show what it felt like to be the only deaf kid in my elemental school,” She says. “I needed a good visual metaphor (比喻), and rabbits, with their big ears and amazing hearing, were perfect for that. Actually, I felt just like the only rabbit whose big ears didn’t work—I had the ears for show, but little else.” The decision to write it as a graphic novel was also linked to her experience with deafness. “I wanted to use speech balloons, which are used in almost all graphic novels, to show what my character is hearing or speaking in the story.” “I want to call on more people to care for the deaf children—Although we could hardly hear, we still want to communicate with others.” she says. 1．When did Cece Bell become deaf? 2．What are the characters in the graphic novel EI Deafo, rabbits or humans? 3．How successful is the book EI Deafo? 4．What does the underlined sentence mean? 5．What do you think of Cece?

By the next April I was already worrying about those three months coming up. I told Mr. Simpson about that at his gas station while he filled my car’s tank. “You don’t need to worry in that way,” he said. “Worrying about the heat just makes the summer start sooner and last longer.” I realized, as I paid the bill, that he was right. “Treat the heat like a welcome surprise,” he said. “Take advantage of the best that our summer offers and ignore the rest.” To my surprise, Mr. Simpson’s advice worked. When the hot summer did arrive, I watered the flowers in my garden in the morning. In the afternoon I slept with my kids, and in the evening we played games and made ice cream together.

When she stopped in front of the store, she was shocked. There sat Chip, soaking wet, with water dripping off his long ears. Mother rushed out of the car and quickly flew towards our pet. “________!” the minimart owner exclaimed when she saw us hugging and patting chip. “He must have been waiting for you to return and has not moved from this spot even though it was raining.” That night, Mother gave Chip as many snacks as he could eat as a praise. “I’m so glad that you are safe and sound!” she said cheerfully. 1．Chip was a service dog, wasn’t he? 2．Why was Chip’s leg badly hurt when Mother first found him? 3．How long did it take before Mother realized Chip was not in the car? 4．Where did they find Chip? 5．What might the minimart owner say to Mother?

The characters from his stories made us laugh and cry throughout our childhood. They gave us a beautiful memory. Andersen was born in the slums (贫民区) of Odense, Denmark, on April 2, 1805. His early life was not easy. His father was a shoemaker and his mother worked as a washerwomen. He received little early education. As a child he was very emotional and was laughed at being feminine (女性化的) and tall. Things got even worse when his father died in 1816 and Andersen had to go out to work, first in a tailor’s shop and then at a tobacco (烟草) factory. At the age of 14 Andersen moved to Copenhagen to start a career as a singer and actor. He struggled for three years until he had to leave the theatre when his voice broke in 1822. Andersen went to a grammar school after he left the theatre. Having done well he was admitted to Copenhagen University in 1828. He began to publish his fairy tales in 1835. Although Andersen lived a hard life, he tried to make people laugh in all his stories. He wrote because he didn’t want children to have a sad childhood as he did. “Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan’s (天鹅) egg,” he once said. His stories brought Andersen world fame (名声), but he remained a lonely man. He loved three women in his life, but none of them loved him back and he never married. His friends were not close to him, they only paid for his stories. “Only living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.” he said. Andersen died on August 4, 1875. His home in Odense is now a museum and thousands of people visit it every year. 1．How was Andersen’s childhood? 2．Andersen wasn’t feminine and tall, was he? 3．Why did Andersen stop his career as a singer and actor? 4．How old was Andersen when he began to publish his fairy tales? 5．Do you like Andersen’s stories? Why or why not? 【答案】1．It was very sad. 2．Yes, he was. 3．Because his voice broke in 1822. 4．He was 30 years old. 5．Yes, I do.

She planned to be a professional football player, just like Ramon. Sophia’s dad, Dr. Philip Taylor, said YES to her but only allowed her to train after she finished her homework. “Work hard in all areas, and many things are possible,” he often said seriously. At school, Sophia went over the questions again and again before the big hour came. When she finally saw Fuller, Sophia was surprised to find he didn’t look like the exciting player she saw on TV. He seemed steady (稳重的) in a suit. For some reason, he reminded Sophia of her brother. Sophia began to ask Fuller how he got started in sports. “My talent showed early,” Fuller continued to tell Sophia how he won competitions and became famous. “But I hurt my knee in my last year of high school, That was when I met my hero.” “Who was that?” Sophia was interested. “Dr. Philip Taylor,” Fuller smiled. “My dad?” Sophia shouted, “Why was he your hero?” Fuller told Sophia how her father encouraged him to do his best in football after treating his knee. But with four operations on the knee, he couldn’t imagine playing football for long. Then Dr Taylor advised him to explore more possibilities. “That’s why I started studying medicine in the university,” Fuller continued. “When I retire from football, I want to be a doctor like your father.” “But you are rich enough,” Sophia felt curious. “You don’t have to work.” “It’s not about money,” Fuller said. “I want to achieve more with my life.

Because she realized that many things are possible if she works hard. （23-24八年级下·上海徐汇·期末预测）根据短文内容回答下列问题。 Sometimes we spend more time at our desk trying not to fall asleep than actually studying. This is because we are trying to study while our biological clock are in sleep mode (模式). There are certain times of the day when we function well. And there are certain times when we don’t. Each of us has a biological clock that follows his own way. It is a waste of time and energy to study when our brain is not functioning well. However, it is difficult to recognize when our brain is giving good performance. What’s the best time to study? Since everybody’s brain works differently, scientists haven’t reached a conclusion. Many people find it more effective to learn new things in the morning. When you have had a good rest the night before, you will have a clear mind. Studying during the day is also better because you can ask for help at once— when you have a problem. However, during the day, there are often many interesting things going on around you. They might draw your attention away from your study. You have to try your best to focus on your study. For other people, they are more likely to learn new things when the sun has gone down. The whole world is sleeping. The mind’s creative output also increases at night. Maybe that’s why many writers and artists love working at night. Staying up late can make you sleepy at school the next day. So, plan your night study schedule well and have enough sleep. Are you an early bird or a night owl (夜猫子)? You can try out some different schedules to find out when you study most effectively! 1．The work of biological clock is different from person to person, isn’t it? 2．What happens if we study when our brain is not functioning well? 3．Please list one advantage of studying in the morning or during the day. 4．According to the writer, what’s the problem of studying during the day? 5．Why do many writers and artists love working at night? 6．Is it necessary to know your way of biological clock?

Cece Bell’s story is a good example. When she was four years old, Cece Bell became deaf and had to wear a hearing aid. As the only deaf student at her school, Bell wished that there was a list of instructions to help people understand and communicate with her better. When she was older, this inspired Bell to write the graphic (图画的) novel EI Deafo, which is partly based on her life but with talking rabbits instead of humans. In this book, Cece finds that she can use her hearing aid like a superpower and becomes the hero EI Deafb. The book was a huge success and won lots of awards, and now it has been turned into a famous TV series. In an interview with the newspaper, Bell explained why she decided to make all the characters in EI Deafo rabbits, “I wanted to show what it felt like to be the only deaf kid in my elemental school,” She says. “I needed a good visual metaphor (比喻), and rabbits, with their big ears and amazing hearing, were perfect for that. Actually, I felt just like the only rabbit whose big ears didn’t work—I had the ears for show, but little else.” The decision to write it as a graphic novel was also linked to her experience with deafness. “I wanted to use speech balloons, which are used in almost all graphic novels, to show what my character is hearing or speaking in the story.” “I want to call on more people to care for the deaf children—Although we could hardly hear, we still want to communicate with others.” she says. 1．When did Cece Bell become deaf? 2．What are the characters in the graphic novel EI Deafo, rabbits or humans? 3．How successful is the book EI Deafo? 4．What does the underlined sentence mean? 5．What do you think of Cece? Why do you think so? 【答案】1．When she was four years old. 2．Rabbits. 3．The book was a huge success and won lots of awards, and now it has been turned into a famous TV series. 4．It means that although Cece had ears, they didn’t function properly, making her feel different from others who could hear well. 5．I think Cece is an inspiring and resilient person. Because despite her deafness, she turned her challenges into a source of strength and creativity, writing a successful graphic novel that helps others understand and empathize with the experiences of deaf individuals. 【导语】本文主要介绍了一位聋哑人Cece Bell的故事。 1．根据“When she was four years old, Cece Bell became deaf and had to wear a hearing aid”可知，Cece Bell在四岁时失聪。故填When she was four years old. 2．根据“When she was older, this inspired Bell to write the graphic (图画的) novel EI Deafo, which is partly based on her life but with talking rabbits instead of humans.”可知，这个角色是兔子。故填Rabbits. 3．根据“The book was a huge success and won lots of awards, and now it has been turned into a famous TV series.”可知，这本书非常成功，获得了很多奖项，并被改编成了著名的电视剧。故填The book was a huge success and won lots of awards, and now it has been turned into a famous TV series. 4．根据“Actually, I felt just like the only rabbit whose big ears didn’t work—I had the ears for show, but little else”可知，划线句子的意思是尽管Cece有耳朵，但它们并不能正常工作，这让她感到与其他听力正常的人不同。故填It means that although Cece had ears, they didn’t function properly, making her feel different from others who could hear well. 5．开放性作答，结合文章，言之有理即可。参考答案为I think Cece is an inspiring and resilient person.

(5 of 5) 5 ★ By V. Irena   8/29/19 Gorgeous day! Very relaxing drive and just the right amount of time in each location. Our driver was wonderful. He was fluent in several languages and always on time. We had a really nice lunch during the second stop with the group. It was lovely! My favorite was Château de Chenonceau. If you like castles and the countryside, this is a beautiful and relaxing tour! (5 of 5) 5 ★ By an anonymous  1/26/19 Our tour was excellent. The van was very comfortable and the lunch was very good. However, the services for pick up and drop off were poor. We got a message that we would be picked by taxi at 6:15 a.m., but the driver came 10 minutes later. After lunch, our driver told us she could drop anyone off at different locations in Paris upon our return if we had dinner plans. Instead of heading to our location, she drove to the agency. We were finally at our hotel at 7:45, hot and tired. I paid almost 500 euros for 2 passengers and I had to leave my hotel earlier and return almost 2 hours! We were not treated fairly. This was not our experience with prior (先前的) tours with your agency. (3 of 5) 5 ★ By K.
