I got it from my elder sister on my 12th birthday, and I’ve kept it for three years. Before I got the book, I didn’t like reading very much. I thought books were boring. But when my sister gave me The Little Prince, she told me, “This book has beautiful stories and lovely pictures. I’m sure you’ll love it.” At first, I just looked at the pictures. Then I started to read the words. The story about a little prince traveling to different planets was so interesting that I couldn’t put it down. After finishing the book, I couldn’t wait to read more stories. This book is special to me because it changed my life. It made me fall in love with reading. Now I’ve read many books, but The Little Prince is still my favorite. Every time I see it on my bookshelf, I remember my sister’s love and the happy time I spent reading it. It’s not just a book — it’s a gift that opened a new world to me. 参考范文2 My Favorite Gift My favorite gift from childhood is a pencil box. I’ve had it for five years. My best friend Amy gave it to me when we graduated from primary school, and I still use it every day. Before I got this pencil box, I used a very old one. It was broken and couldn’t hold many things. On the last day of primary school, Amy came to me with a big smile. She said, “This is for you. I hope it can help you with your study in middle school.” When I opened it, I saw a beautiful pencil box with cute cartoon animals on it. Inside, there were also some colorful pens and a note that said, “Let’s be friends forever.” This pencil box is special to me because it stands for my friendship with Amy. Even though we go to different middle schools now, every time I open the box, I think of the happy days we spent together. It reminds me of our laughter, our talks, and our promises. It’s not just a pencil box — it’s a treasure that keeps my best memories. （二）评分说明：本大题共15分，请按以下四档标准进行评分。 第一档：（15分）符合题意要求，表达完整，条理清晰，语句通顺，语言正确无误。 第二档：（11 — 14分）符合题意要求，表达基本完整，条理较清晰，语句较通顺，语言基本无误。 第三档：（6 — 10分）基本符合题意要求，表达基本完整，条理较清晰，语句较通顺，语言有部分错误。 第四档：（0 — 5分）不符合题意要求，表达不够清楚，逻辑关系混乱，语言错误很多。 （注意：短文中不得出现任何真实人名、校名及其它相关信息，否则不予评分。) 八年级英语听力材料 1、 听力理解 注意：听力测试分四部分，共20小题。做题时，先将答案答在试卷上，录音内容结束后，将所作答案涂写到答题卡上。 （一）听对话，选择与对话内容相对应的图片,每组对话读两遍。 1.
