It was 25 than our school library. There were thousands of books there. I found a storybook about animals and read it for an hour.

I gave Tom a book about robots, and he gave me a poetry collection. He said, “Poems are 27 than stories sometimes — they use fewer words but show more feelings.” I agreed with him.

It was a two - hour drive from our city, and I was excited because I hadn’t seen them for three months. When we arrived, my grandma was waiting at the gate. She hugged me tightly and said, “You’ve grown taller than the last time I saw you!” My grandpa was in the garden — he was growing tomatoes. He gave me a big tomato and said, “Try this. It’s sweeter than the ones you buy in the city.” I took a bite, and it was really delicious. In the afternoon, my grandpa took me to a small river near their house. We fished there. At first, I couldn’t catch any fish, but grandpa taught me how to hold the fishing rod. After 30 minutes, I caught a small fish. I was so happy that I jumped up. Grandpa laughed and said, “This is your first time fishing, right? You did better than I expected.” In the evening, grandma cooked a big dinner. There were chicken, eggs, and vegetables from their garden. Everything tasted great. After dinner, we sat in the yard and watched the stars. The sky in the countryside was clearer than in the city, so we could see many bright stars. My grandpa told me stories about the stars — he said each star has a special meaning. On Sunday morning, we helped grandma pick apples. Then we said goodbye to them. I told my grandparents, “I will come back to visit you next month.” They smiled and nodded. This weekend trip made me feel relaxed. I love the countryside — it’s quieter and more beautiful than the city. 31. How long did it take the writer to go to the countryside? A. One hour. B.

Let’s hear about three students’ experiences. Lisa (Grade 8) I volunteered at a primary school near our school. I helped teach younger students to draw.

I think helping kids is more meaningful than playing video games. Mike (Grade 8) I went to an old people’s home with my classmates. We cleaned the rooms for the elderly and talked to them. An old grandma told me stories about her life when she was young. She said life was harder than it is now, but she was happy. I gave her a hand - made card. She held my hand and said, “Thank you, dear.” It made me realize that small kindness can make others happy. Emma (Grade 8) I volunteered in the school library. I helped sort books and clean the shelves. The librarian said I did a better job than last year’s volunteers. In the afternoon, I helped a new student find books about history. He said he was worried about his history exam. I told him which books were helpful. He thanked me, and I felt proud. All three students said they learned a lot from “Student Volunteer Day”. They hope more students will join next year. 36. When was “Student Volunteer Day” held this year? A. On October 15th. B. On October 5th. C. On September 15th. 37.

It can help you learn better and save time. Here are some tips to develop a good study habit. First, make a study plan. 41 Write down what you need to study each day, like math exercises or English words. A plan can help you stay organized and not forget important tasks. Second, find a quiet study place. 42 It can be your bedroom desk or the school library. A quiet place helps you focus on your study and not get distracted by noise. Third, take short breaks. Studying for a long time without resting is not good. 43 For example, you can stand up and stretch, or drink a glass of water after studying for 40 minutes. Breaks can make you feel refreshed. Fourth, review what you’ve learned. 44 You can review your notes or do small exercises. Reviewing helps you remember knowledge better and not forget it easily. Finally, ask for help when you need it. If you don’t understand something, don’t be afraid to ask your teachers or classmates. 45 A. They are always willing to help you. B. A noisy place will make it hard for you to concentrate. C. You can make it at the beginning of each week. D. It’s important to finish your homework on time. E. You need to give your brain a rest. 五、语法填空（共 10 小题，每小题2分，满分 20 分） 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空白处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。 My best friend is Anna. We’ve been friends since Grade 6.
