But remember, for someone to win, someone else has to lose. Even though it’s not always nice, competition has been around for a very long time. From old Greek games to soccer today, people have always enjoyed competing. Competition isn’t just in sports. It’s also in business, science, and even when people look for love. Businessmen say that competition helps keep things fair (公平的) in the market. In science, scientists compete for improving people’s lives. Competition seems to be everywhere! Some people think we are born to compete because it helps us live better. But can we use competition to help others? For example, can we make people save energy (e. g. water and electricity) or take part in volunteer work by competing? In a study, scientists looked at a competition at Princeton University called “Do-it-in-the- Dark”. Students try to use less electricity, and the group that saved the most won a prize. The study showed that during the competition, students used less electricity. But when the competition ended, they went back to using more electricity. This happened at many other universities too. The problem is that this kind of competition only works while there’s a prize. Students are more likely to take actions as long as the university maintains the prize. However, in our example, students stopped saving energy as soon as the competition ended. Once there was no prize, people would stop saving energy. This is because people save energy for the prize, not because they care about the environment. Researchers say that if we want people to keep doing good things, like saving energy, we need them to care about it for the right reasons. We need them to understand why it’s important, not just to win a prize. So, competition can be fun and helpful sometimes, but it’s not always the best way to get people to do good things. Through cooperation, working together and sharing experience during competitions, people can understand the true meaning of competition and know about the long-term benefits. It’s time we start doing the right thing, for the right reasons. 1．What can we learn from the passage? A．We should cooperate in the right way. B．Competition takes place in many fields. C．Businessmen compete to improve our lives. D．Cooperating is more important than competing. 2．The example of the “Do-it-in-the-Dark” competition shows that ________. A．people may do right things because of a prize in competitions B．competitions can help people get more experience from others C．competitions can encourage people to reach the long-term goal D．people should continue to cooperate after winning competitions 3．What does the underlined word “maintains” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A．Chooses. B．Changes. C．Keeps. D．Earns. 4．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To explain the importance of competition. B．To help people to face competitions bravely. C．To give suggestions for winning competitions. D．To tell people to compete for the right reasons. Passage 2 （24-25八年级上·北京海淀·期末） Many people hold the belief that the personality you have by your 20s will stay the same and remain unchanged for the rest of your life. However, research shows that with intention and effort, you can develop new traits (特点) and improve yourself throughout your lifetime. According to Mohsen Joshanloo from Keimyung University, “Personality theories have emphasized the importance of the changing nature of personality traits.” This suggests that your personality is not fixed and can evolve. Joshanloo further argues that a key factor in this slow process is having a sense of purpose. The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) led by Joshanloo, collected data from more than11,000 adults over four periods (时期) between 2010 and 2022. Participants filled out a 31-question survey about their personality traits, assessing traits such as openness and agreeableness. They also finished a 7-item questionnaire about feeling a sense of purpose, with questions like “I enjoy making plans for the future.” The results showed that people who felt more purposeful became more open to new things and less worried over time. So, how can you develop a stronger sense of purpose in our daily life? Joshanloo suggests understanding and practicing the theory of “Purpose As Trait, Habit, and State” (PATHS). At the trait level, a sense of purpose can be viewed as an overall life goal. At the habit level, it involves engaging in daily, purposeful behaviors. And at the state level, it describes the moment-to-moment feeling that one’s actions are meaningful. Therefore, start with small actions. To practice this “bottom-up” approach, you can start by adding small, meaningful activities into your daily routine. Instead of stressing big life goals, try engaging in enjoyable activities, like taking up a new hobby whether it’s drawing, cooking, or something else. These small, meaningful actions can gradually build a stronger sense of purpose. In summary, shaping your personality may be not that difficult. By making easy changes in your daily life and developing a sense of purpose, you can take meaningful steps toward personal growth. 5．What does the word “evolve” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A．change at once B．develop over time C．get worse easily D．stay the same 6．According to Joshanloo, people can probably build a stronger sense of purpose by ________. A．drawing mind maps about life B．beginning with simple actions C．doing as many tasks as possible D．looking back on childhood successes 7．What can we learn from the passage? A．We can develop new traits without any efforts or intentions. B．A higher sense of purpose can encourage us to realize dreams. C．Key factors in personal growth are openness and agreeableness. D．The theory of PATHS helps us build a stronger sense of purpose. 8．Which could be the best title for this passage? A．Simple Steps to Build a Meaningful Life B．Influence of Personality Traits on Growth C．The Power of Purpose in Shaping Personality D．The Roles of Habits in Changing Our Actions 主题02 人与自我——爱好 Passage 1 （24-25八年级上·北京石景山·期末） A．The Story ChannelIn this project, students build their reading skills.

Only through experiences and accenting mistakes and failures (失败) can we move forward. We could say that life is a journey of learning, and the only way to get the better of it is by living. We never learn through the experiences of others. It is true that at birth we depend on adults to survive (生存) but it is also true that we try our best to have our own experiences to learn, and then grow. To learn, we need to discover, fail and be right. That is learning by trying and making mistakes until we find our way to success. Since we were very little, we learned more from our own experiences than from the advice of adults. By living the experience itself, we internalize (内化) it meaningfully and deeply. So, most of these teachings will stay in our memory. If we want to learn, grow and improve ourselves, we are going to fail. However, getting up and moving on makes us stronger, braver and smarter. It gives us a collection of reasons to feel proud. Blaming (指责) ourselves for failing is not accepting our human condition and losing the opportunity to continue learning and moving forward. We could say that the more mistakes we make, the more we are living. We are becoming stronger after our failures, getting up after falling and getting back on feet even when being wrong hurts. So, the best way is living different experiences, without fear of the result. In order to grow, we must move forward and move on. Falling is inevitable. We do it from the time we are very small, when we learn to walk, ride a bike. Failing is inevitable when we want to move forward, reach our goals or change something that does not make us happy. However, it is wonderful to learn and discover our power. 15．Which of the following is an example of learning through our own experiences? A．Depending on adults to grow. B．Following the advice of others. C．Keeping on walking after falling. D．Blaming ourselves for failing. 16．What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A．We accept ourselves by blaming. B．Failing is the first step of learning. C．Mistakes show the facts we living. D．We make fewer mistakes when growing. 17．The underlined sentence “Falling is inevitable” probably means _______. A．it’s harmful that we will probably fall B．it’s terrible that we will probably fail C．it’s difficult that we will probably fall D．it’s certain that we will probably fail 18．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To advise us to learn from our own experiences. B．To show failing is sure to happen while learning. C．To offer us some ideas on how to learn better. D．To suggest we face mistakes more bravely. Passage 2 （21-22八年级上·北京大兴·期末） Hi, Karen, As you probably know, it will be my sister Suzie’s 12th birthday in a few weeks. We’re planning on throwing a surprise party for her.

Passage 2 （21-22八年级上·北京房山·期末） Take a look at the children around. They are all dressing in baggy-pants (宽松裤) drinking soft drinks such as coke and reading Japanese cartoons. Whether you are in Beijing, Wuhan, Hong Kong, you will get the same impression (印象). But should we copy others or should we keep our differences? It sounds convenient (方便的) that people around the world speak the same language, dress in the same style, eat the same food and play the same games. If the world was like this, you wouldn’t feel strange in any place of the world. But just imagine living in such a world. How colorless it would be! Different kinds of food that people can taste, the colorful and fashionable clothes that we dress in and different languages we speak are all part of the different cultures that our ancestors (祖先) left us. These differences show their creativity (创造力) and talent. And we all enjoy different cultures in our daily lives. When you travel to other places, you want to see different things. When you talk to foreigners, you hope to listen to interesting stories. These differences in culture make our life colorful. But with the development of globalization (全球化), the whole world is shrinking into a small village and many different cultures are disappearing. In most big cities around the world, people wear the same clothes. Fast food stores are everywhere. Hollywood movies are kicking traditional (传统的) arts out of our lives. The colors of our lives are disappearing. There is a joke that even the panda and zebra want to live a colorful life. So let’s take action to protect our colorful culture before it becomes as simple as black and white. It’s not difficult. We can learn different kinds of songs, try on traditional clothing and even eat food from different places instead of going to KFC． These can help.

It’s fun to play games, and we all like to win. But remember, for someone to win, someone else has to lose. Even though it’s not always nice, competition has been around for a very long time. From old Greek games to soccer today, people have always enjoyed competing. Competition isn’t just in sports. It’s also in business, science, and even when people look for love. Businessmen say that competition helps keep things fair (公平的) in the market. In science, scientists compete for improving people’s lives. Competition seems to be everywhere! Some people think we are born to compete because it helps us live better. But can we use competition to help others? For example, can we make people save energy (e. g. water and electricity) or take part in volunteer work by competing? In a study, scientists looked at a competition at Princeton University called “Do-it-in-the- Dark”. Students try to use less electricity, and the group that saved the most won a prize. The study showed that during the competition, students used less electricity. But when the competition ended, they went back to using more electricity. This happened at many other universities too. The problem is that this kind of competition only works while there’s a prize. Students are more likely to take actions as long as the university maintains the prize. However, in our example, students stopped saving energy as soon as the competition ended. Once there was no prize, people would stop saving energy. This is because people save energy for the prize, not because they care about the environment. Researchers say that if we want people to keep doing good things, like saving energy, we need them to care about it for the right reasons. We need them to understand why it’s important, not just to win a prize. So, competition can be fun and helpful sometimes, but it’s not always the best way to get people to do good things. Through cooperation, working together and sharing experience during competitions, people can understand the true meaning of competition and know about the long-term benefits. It’s time we start doing the right thing, for the right reasons. 1．What can we learn from the passage? A．We should cooperate in the right way. B．Competition takes place in many fields. C．Businessmen compete to improve our lives. D．Cooperating is more important than competing. 2．The example of the “Do-it-in-the-Dark” competition shows that ________. A．people may do right things because of a prize in competitions B．competitions can help people get more experience from others C．competitions can encourage people to reach the long-term goal D．people should continue to cooperate after winning competitions 3．What does the underlined word “maintains” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A．Chooses. B．Changes. C．Keeps. D．Earns. 4．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To explain the importance of competition. B．To help people to face competitions bravely. C．To give suggestions for winning competitions. D．To tell people to compete for the right reasons. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了竞争无处不在，但是合作也很重要。 1．细节理解题。根据“Competition isn’t just in sports. It’s also in business, science, and even when people look for love. Businessmen say that competition helps keep things fair (公平的) in the market.

However, research shows that with intention and effort, you can develop new traits (特点) and improve yourself throughout your lifetime. According to Mohsen Joshanloo from Keimyung University, “Personality theories have emphasized the importance of the changing nature of personality traits.” This suggests that your personality is not fixed and can evolve. Joshanloo further argues that a key factor in this slow process is having a sense of purpose. The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) led by Joshanloo, collected data from more than11,000 adults over four periods (时期) between 2010 and 2022. Participants filled out a 31-question survey about their personality traits, assessing traits such as openness and agreeableness. They also finished a 7-item questionnaire about feeling a sense of purpose, with questions like “I enjoy making plans for the future.” The results showed that people who felt more purposeful became more open to new things and less worried over time. So, how can you develop a stronger sense of purpose in our daily life? Joshanloo suggests understanding and practicing the theory of “Purpose As Trait, Habit, and State” (PATHS). At the trait level, a sense of purpose can be viewed as an overall life goal. At the habit level, it involves engaging in daily, purposeful behaviors. And at the state level, it describes the moment-to-moment feeling that one’s actions are meaningful. Therefore, start with small actions. To practice this “bottom-up” approach, you can start by adding small, meaningful activities into your daily routine. Instead of stressing big life goals, try engaging in enjoyable activities, like taking up a new hobby whether it’s drawing, cooking, or something else. These small, meaningful actions can gradually build a stronger sense of purpose. In summary, shaping your personality may be not that difficult. By making easy changes in your daily life and developing a sense of purpose, you can take meaningful steps toward personal growth. 5．What does the word “evolve” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A．change at once B．develop over time C．get worse easily D．stay the same 6．According to Joshanloo, people can probably build a stronger sense of purpose by ________. A．drawing mind maps about life B．beginning with simple actions C．doing as many tasks as possible D．looking back on childhood successes 7．What can we learn from the passage? A．We can develop new traits without any efforts or intentions. B．A higher sense of purpose can encourage us to realize dreams. C．Key factors in personal growth are openness and agreeableness. D．The theory of PATHS helps us build a stronger sense of purpose. 8．Which could be the best title for this passage? A．Simple Steps to Build a Meaningful Life B．Influence of Personality Traits on Growth C．The Power of Purpose in Shaping Personality D．The Roles of Habits in Changing Our Actions 【答案】5．B 6．B 7．D 8．C 【导语】本文主要论述了“人格特质不是一成不变”的观点，以及在日常生活中如何培养更高的目标感。 5．词义猜测题。根据“Personality theories have emphasized the importance of the changing nature of personality traits.”和“your personality is not fixed and can evolve”可知，人格理论强调了人格特质是不断变化的，所以你的人格并不是固定的，是可以慢慢改变的，B选项“随着时间的推移而发展”符合词义。故选B。 6．细节理解题。根据“So, how can you develop a stronger sense of purpose in our daily life?”和“Therefore, start with small actions.”可知，生活中要培养更强的目标感应该从小事做起。故选B。 7．细节理解题。根据“So, how can you develop a stronger sense of purpose in our daily life? Joshanloo suggests understanding and practicing the theory of ‘Purpose As Trait, Habit, and State’”可知，PATHS的理解和实践有助于我们建立更强的目标感。故选D。 8．最佳标题题。根据“In summary, shaping your personality may be not that difficult. By making easy changes in your daily life and developing a sense of purpose, you can take meaningful steps toward personal growth.”可知，文章主要讲述了如何通过在日常生活中做出改变来培养目标感，进而塑造自己的人格，选项C“目标在塑造人格中的力量”符合原文大意。故选C。 主题02 人与自我——爱好 Passage 1 （24-25八年级上·北京石景山·期末） A．The Story ChannelIn this project, students build their reading skills.

Only through experiences and accenting mistakes and failures (失败) can we move forward. We could say that life is a journey of learning, and the only way to get the better of it is by living. We never learn through the experiences of others. It is true that at birth we depend on adults to survive (生存) but it is also true that we try our best to have our own experiences to learn, and then grow. To learn, we need to discover, fail and be right. That is learning by trying and making mistakes until we find our way to success. Since we were very little, we learned more from our own experiences than from the advice of adults. By living the experience itself, we internalize (内化) it meaningfully and deeply. So, most of these teachings will stay in our memory. If we want to learn, grow and improve ourselves, we are going to fail. However, getting up and moving on makes us stronger, braver and smarter. It gives us a collection of reasons to feel proud. Blaming (指责) ourselves for failing is not accepting our human condition and losing the opportunity to continue learning and moving forward. We could say that the more mistakes we make, the more we are living. We are becoming stronger after our failures, getting up after falling and getting back on feet even when being wrong hurts. So, the best way is living different experiences, without fear of the result. In order to grow, we must move forward and move on. Falling is inevitable. We do it from the time we are very small, when we learn to walk, ride a bike. Failing is inevitable when we want to move forward, reach our goals or change something that does not make us happy. However, it is wonderful to learn and discover our power. 15．Which of the following is an example of learning through our own experiences? A．Depending on adults to grow. B．Following the advice of others. C．Keeping on walking after falling. D．Blaming ourselves for failing. 16．What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A．We accept ourselves by blaming. B．Failing is the first step of learning. C．Mistakes show the facts we living. D．We make fewer mistakes when growing. 17．The underlined sentence “Falling is inevitable” probably means _______. A．it’s harmful that we will probably fall B．it’s terrible that we will probably fail C．it’s difficult that we will probably fall D．it’s certain that we will probably fail 18．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To advise us to learn from our own experiences. B．To show failing is sure to happen while learning. C．To offer us some ideas on how to learn better. D．To suggest we face mistakes more bravely. 【答案】15．C 16．B 17．D 18．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了只有通过亲身经历，我们才能真正学到东西。只有通过经历和接受错误及失败，我们才能前进。失败是不可避免的，但是从失败中学习和成长是美好的。 15．推理判断题。根据“If we want to learn, grow and improve ourselves, we are going to fail. However, getting up and moving on makes us stronger, braver and smarter.”可推知，摔倒后继续走是通过自己的经历学习的例子。故选C。 16．推理判断题。根据“If we want to learn, grow and improve ourselves, we are going to fail.”可推知，失败是学习的第一步。故选B。 17．词义猜测题。根据“We do it from the time we are very small, when we learn to walk, ride a bike. Failing is inevitable when we want to move forward, reach our goals or change something that does not make us happy.”可知，当我们前进、达成目标或改变某件让我们不高兴的事时，失败是不可避免的，由此推测，划线句的意思是很可能会失败，故选D。 18．主旨大意题。根据“The experience itself is the best way to learn, because otherwise (否则) it wouldn’t be us who learned, but those who lived the experience. Only through experiences and accenting mistakes and failures (失败) can we move forward.”并结合下文可知，文章强调了通过亲身体验学习的重要性，鼓励我们不要依赖别人的经验，而是要亲自去尝试和体验。因此，作者的写作目的是建议我们从自己的经验中学习，故选A。 Passage 2 （21-22八年级上·北京大兴·期末） Hi, Karen, As you probably know, it will be my sister Suzie’s 12th birthday in a few weeks.

They are all dressing in baggy-pants (宽松裤) drinking soft drinks such as coke and reading Japanese cartoons. Whether you are in Beijing, Wuhan, Hong Kong, you will get the same impression (印象). But should we copy others or should we keep our differences? It sounds convenient (方便的) that people around the world speak the same language, dress in the same style, eat the same food and play the same games. If the world was like this, you wouldn’t feel strange in any place of the world. But just imagine living in such a world. How colorless it would be! Different kinds of food that people can taste, the colorful and fashionable clothes that we dress in and different languages we speak are all part of the different cultures that our ancestors (祖先) left us. These differences show their creativity (创造力) and talent. And we all enjoy different cultures in our daily lives. When you travel to other places, you want to see different things. When you talk to foreigners, you hope to listen to interesting stories. These differences in culture make our life colorful. But with the development of globalization (全球化), the whole world is shrinking into a small village and many different cultures are disappearing. In most big cities around the world, people wear the same clothes. Fast food stores are everywhere. Hollywood movies are kicking traditional (传统的) arts out of our lives. The colors of our lives are disappearing. There is a joke that even the panda and zebra want to live a colorful life. So let’s take action to protect our colorful culture before it becomes as simple as black and white. It’s not difficult. We can learn different kinds of songs, try on traditional clothing and even eat food from different places instead of going to KFC． These can help. And we’re sure you will enjoy it. 26．The writer thinks that cultural differences ________. A．make the world colorful B．make communication difficult C．will improve our creativity D．will never disappear 27．The underlined word “shrinking” probably means ________.

C．To explain cultural differences to us.
