But in March 2022, he died while doing an online "blackout" challenge. The BBC says this dangerous challenge asks people to hold their breath until they pass out. Isaac’s mom told The Independent that he was just a curious boy. They never thought this challenge would hurt him. To stop sad stories like Isaac’s and keep kids safe online, the UK made new safety rules on May 8, The Guardian reported. These rules say platforms (平台) like TikTok must check users’ ages to 八年级英语 （第 5 页 共 8 页） find out who is a child. They must also make sure the posts suggested to kids are safe. Gill Whitehead from the UK’s online safety team told The Guardian, “The important thing is to block harmful videos that children might see.” Violent (暴力) or bad content (内容) should appear less often, she said. If companies break these rules, they may have to pay big fines. They could lose up to 18 million pounds (about 165 million yuan) or 10% of their yearly money, according to Lianhe Zaobao. Other countries are also trying to protect young social media users. The EU’s Digital Services Act wants to make sure kids spend less time on social media. In the US, the Kids Online Safety Act says companies must protect users under 18. In India and Brazil, kids need their parents’ permission (允许) to use websites that collect their information. 49.

What do the UK guidelines (准则;指南) do according to the passage? a. Stop platforms offering harmful contents. b. Fine companies if they break the rules. c. Make sure information on platforms is safe for kids. d. Stop children using some apps. e. Ask parents to watch their children. A. a-b-c B. a-c-d C. b-d-e D. c-d-e 51. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The jobs of parents to protect their children. B. Other countries’ ways to protect children online. C. The new UK guidelines for young social media users. D. The list of companies that are responsible for children. (C) “Come and play with me,” the little prince suggested. “I am so unhappy.” “I cannot play with you,” the fox said, “I am not tamed.” “Ah! Please excuse me,” said the little prince. But after some thought, he added: “What does ‘tame’ mean?” “It means to set up ties,” said the fox. “To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy… But if you tame me, we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique (独一无二的) in all the world.” “Please tame me!” said the fox. “You must be patient. Sit down a little distance from me, like this, in the grass. I will watch you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the cause of misunderstandings. But each day, you may sit a little closer…” The next day the prince returned. “It would have been better to come at the same hour,” said the fox. “If you come at four o’clock, I shall begin to be happy by three. The more time passes, the happier I’ll feel, But if you come at any random (随意的) time, I’ll never know when to prepare my heart.” So the little prince tamed the fox. And when it’s time to leave… “Ah,” said the fox, “I shall cry.” “It is your own fault,” said the prince, “I never wished you harm, but you wanted me to tame you.” “Yes,” said the fox, “But now, look at the golden wheat fields. They will remind (想起) me of your hair. And I shall love the sound of the wind in the wheat…” Then he added, “Go and look again at the roses. You’ll understand yours is unique.

Here are some rules that may help you become a politer person. In public, it is kind to hold the door open for others, especially when you see someone with arms full or who might have difficulty getting in. Never allow a door to shut heavily on anyone following you. But avoid holding a door open when someone is a bit far away. 56 Be kind to people who work for you, such as waiters, shopkeepers and postmen. It is kind to smile and say “thank you” to them when they are easily forgotten by most people. They work hard so that we can enjoy our lives. 57 Take off your headphones (耳机) before you speak to someone. At the end of a phone call with people older than you, it’s proper to make sure they end the phone call first. 58 Loud noise is always unwelcome and may even cause fights. 59 Hear them out before expressing your own opinion. Allow them to voice their opinions, even when you don’t agree with them. Use your communication skills instead of raising your voice to express yourself. Also, when you are in a group conversation, make eye contact with others. This shows that you are paying attention. Try to share the “talking time” fairly. 60 And if you need to leave the conversation briefly (简短地), excuse yourself politely. A. Don’t cut in on people when they talk. B. This might cause them to hurry up for the door. C. It’s important to let them know their work is seen by us. D. Always remember to use words instead of fights to work out problems. E. It’s wise to get to the meeting room 15 minutes before the meeting starts. F. When in public, don’t play music or videos loudly on your mobile phones. G. Don’t always be the one who talks the most, but also make sure you get a chance to share your ideas. 五、词汇运用（共 10小题；每小题 1分, 满分 10分） 从方框中选择恰当的词、短语或音标的正确形式填空（每个词、短语或音标仅用一次）。 八年级英语 （第 7 页 共 8 页） in his way harm [pəˈluːtɪŋ] depend on introduction give up interview above all hand out loudly 61.

Are baths better than showers? Having a bath is relaxing while showers are quick. Which should we choose? People have discussed about this. Let’s have a closer look. Yes—a bath washes the mind and body Baths are about much more than cleanliness. They are places to relax and you can think about the coming day so that you can plan tomorrow well there.

For the first few years of a person’s life, they are bathed before bed, not showered. No—showers are quick and cheap 八年级英语 （第 8 页 共 8 页） The cost of baths is more than that of showers. Experts recently worked out that a year of two baths a day costs £438 but a year of two showers a day costs just £161. Baths are more expensive.
