You can often see people skateboard quickly in many places, such as squares, parks and roads. Why do young people like skateboarding so much? First, it is very cool. You jump on the skateboard. You feel the wind around your ears and you can enjoy the freedom (自由) of sports. Second, skateboarding isn’t a dear game. You only need to buy a skateboard and it doesn’t cost you much money. Third, it is easy to learn. If you are brave enough, you can learn it in one week. Also, skateboarding helps to build up your body. It can make your legs and arms strong. Get a special skateboard and wear cool clothes. Quite cool, isn’t it? Tug-of-war (拔河) is popular in China and many other countries all over the world. However, Tug-of-war in other countries is different from China’s. There are eight players in each team. Our two teams have the same number of men or women players. The players are usually strong and heavy. In the competition, we need a long thick rope (绳子). Each team stands at one end of the rope and holds it. Then they try to pull the rope to their side. If a team pulls the center of the rope away for a certain distance, the team will win. Many experts (专家) think members in the tug-of-war team don’t need to be strong and heavy. We don’t have endless (无尽的) energy for the match. The secret is good hands. If the players have big and strong hands, they will hold the rope better. The experts say the farmers have the best hands for tug-of-war.

He learned his lesson and this time he got more wood before he started a fire. Finally, he water boiled very quickly. “If there is not enough wood, how would you boil the water?” the wise man asked.

However, I would also suggest you make a not-to-do list. This list works well with the to-do list and it might be even more important. Let me explain. This is Mike. He loves video games and plays them every day. But he also has an important exam coming up. So Mike puts studying on his to-do list. That day, Mike picked up the books and studied for half an hour. Then he took a short break and played some games. However, he got so into the game that he played for three hours. The next day, Mike took on the challenge of studying in a different way. He decided to make a not-to-do list as well. And what he wrote down was, “No video games until 7:00 pm.” Mike went to study, did it for half an hour, and then took a break. However, he didn’t get on his computer like the day before because he didn’t allow himself to play at that time. Instead, he drank a glass of water. Then he returned to studying for three hours more on that day. Mike realized that having no restrictions (限制) was the problem. He was always choosing between work and free time. Because enjoying himself was an easier choice, hardly any work got done as a result. So Mike made a not-to-do list. Sometimes what you choose not to do matters more than what you decide to do. We shouldn’t just limit our “bad” behaviors but our “good” behaviors as well. For example, practicing the piano could be considered a good habit. But when you have other more important things in the moment, the piano becomes nothing more than a distraction (注意力分散). However, there’s one thing that should never end up on your not-to-do list. That is to learn something new every day. 25．What did Mike write on his not-to-do list? 26．How long did Mike study the next day? 27．According to Paragraph 4, what problem did Mike realize? 28．Would you like to make a “not-to-do list”? Why or why not? (At least two reasons.) 【答案】25．No video games until 7:00 pm. 26．Three and a half hours. 27．Having no restrictions was the problem. 28．Yes, I would. Because it not only helps me focus on my most important task but also helps me develop my self-descipline.(言之有理即可) 【解析】本文是一篇议论文，作者通过讲述迈克准备考试的经历，告诉我们列一个“不能做的事情”清单的重要性。 25．根据“He decided to make a not-to-do list as well. And what he wrote down was: ‘No video games until 7:00 pm.’”可知，迈克在清单中写到：晚上7点之前不许玩电子游戏。故填No video games until 7:00 pm. 26．根据“Mike went to study, did it for half an hour”及“Then he returned to studying for three hours more on that day”可知，迈克第二天共学习了三个半小时。故填Three and a half hours. 27．根据“Mike realized that having no restrictions (限制) was the problem.”可知，迈克意识到没有限制是个问题。故填Having no restrictions was the problem. 28．“不能做的事情”清单可以帮助我们在生活和学习中聚焦于重点事项，并且可以帮我们培养自律。故填Yes, I would. Because it not only helps me focus on my most important task but also helps me develop my self-descipline.(言之有理即可) （ 重庆市长寿中学校2024-2025学年八年级上学期期中） 阅读下文并回答问题。 Physical exercise is good for our mind, body and spirit.

However, Tug-of-war in other countries is different from China’s. There are eight players in each team. Our two teams have the same number of men or women players. The players are usually strong and heavy. In the competition, we need a long thick rope (绳子). Each team stands at one end of the rope and holds it. Then they try to pull the rope to their side. If a team pulls the center of the rope away for a certain distance, the team will win. Many experts (专家) think members in the tug-of-war team don’t need to be strong and heavy. We don’t have endless (无尽的) energy for the match. The secret is good hands. If the players have big and strong hands, they will hold the rope better. The experts say the farmers have the best hands for tug-of-war. Because farmers have to work very hard and farming is a good practice for tug-of-war. 9．Is skateboarding the most popular game around the world? 10．How many players are there in a tug-of-war match (比赛)? 11．Who has the best hands for tug-of-war according to the experts? 12．Do you want to learn skateboard?

The scholar took the boy for a walk in a garden (花园). He stopped and asked the boy to pull (拔) out a small plant growing in the garden. The boy held the plant with one hand and pulled it out. The old man then asked him to pull out a bigger plant. The boy pulled hard and the plant came out, roots and all. “Now pull out that one,” said the old man, pointing to a bush (灌木丛). At last, the boy tried his best and pulled it out. “Now take this one out,” said the old man, pointing to an apple tree. The boy held the tree and tried to pull it out. But it didn’t move. “It’s difficult to pull it out. I can’t do it!” said the boy. “So it is like bad habits,” said the scholar. “When they are young it is easy to pull them out. But when they grow bigger, they cannot be pulled out easily.” The lesson with the old man changed the boy’s life. He gave up (改掉) his bad habits and became an excellent man. 21．Where did the scholar and the boy take a walk? 22．Did the boy pull out the apple tree? 23．How many times did the scholar ask the boy to pull out plants? 24．Do you think it is easy or difficult to give up bad habits?

Many Chinese are very interested in it now. “Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” “I” means introverted and “E” means extroverted. A number of people take the test to find out the answer. They find the test helpful. The MBTI test puts people into 16 kinds. People can know what kind of person they are by taking the test and it helps them to know about themselves better. “I want to have a party next week. I’m an ‘E’ person. I can clean my room and think about some games. I’ll call Mary to buy some food and drinks. Oh, Jackson is a music lover. He can choose the best music for us. We must have a wonderful night.” “I’m an ‘I’ person. I’d like to work by myself. Our school library is my favorite place to relax myself. I enjoy reading and thinking quietly there and maybe I could be a writer in the future.” They may think like this. There are also some problems. Some people take the test for a second time and get different results. Some people find it difficult to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy going camping with my friends. Am I an ‘I’ or an ‘E’?” “Personalities can change (变化) with time, and they are not black-or-white,” scientists say. You may be introverted now but become extroverted when you get older. Or, you can be both an “I” and an “E”. You can be anyone you want to be! 25．Are many Chinese people interested in the MBTI test? 26．How many kinds of personalities are there in the MBTI test? 27．What is an “E” person like according to the passage? 28．Do you agree (赞同) “Personalities can change with time”?

However, I would also suggest you make a not-to-do list. This list works well with the to-do list and it might be even more important. Let me explain. This is Mike. He loves video games and plays them every day. But he also has an important exam coming up. So Mike puts studying on his to-do list. That day, Mike picked up the books and studied for half an hour. Then he took a short break and played some games. However, he got so into the game that he played for three hours. The next day, Mike took on the challenge of studying in a different way. He decided to make a not-to-do list as well. And what he wrote down was, “No video games until 7:00 pm.” Mike went to study, did it for half an hour, and then took a break. However, he didn’t get on his computer like the day before because he didn’t allow himself to play at that time. Instead, he drank a glass of water. Then he returned to studying for three hours more on that day. Mike realized that having no restrictions (限制) was the problem. He was always choosing between work and free time. Because enjoying himself was an easier choice, hardly any work got done as a result. So Mike made a not-to-do list. Sometimes what you choose not to do matters more than what you decide to do. We shouldn’t just limit our “bad” behaviors but our “good” behaviors as well. For example, practicing the piano could be considered a good habit. But when you have other more important things in the moment, the piano becomes nothing more than a distraction (注意力分散). However, there’s one thing that should never end up on your not-to-do list. That is to learn something new every day. 25．What did Mike write on his not-to-do list? 26．How long did Mike study the next day? 27．According to Paragraph 4, what problem did Mike realize? 28．Would you like to make a “not-to-do list”? Why or why not? (At least two reasons.) （ 重庆市长寿中学校2024-2025学年八年级上学期期中） 阅读下文并回答问题。 Physical exercise is good for our mind, body and spirit.

One of my friends, Lin Fei, followed short videos to do exercise every day. “With these videos, I feel like exercising with a lot of people, and it’s enjoyable.” she said.

I don’t need to pay for the gyms, either. ” With their examples, I decided to give it a try.

Even worse, you may get hurt when you do wrong exercise” my sister said to me. “Well, if you really want to have a try, choose right videos. That’s very important. And then ask your friends for advice.
