Everyday heroes are normal people who are working to make the world a better place. Among them is Robert Lee. Lee grew up in New York City. As his family was not rich, he learned from a young age the importance of 2 the waste of food. When in college, he was part of a student group that gave out leftover (剩余的) food to 3 people. This experience made him realize how serious the problem of food wastage actually was. After he left university, Lee and a friend set up an organization called Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC). Its purpose is to 4 unsold food from restaurants and send it for free to shelters (收容所) and food kitchens. Volunteers pick up the food from restaurants around the city and hand it out to those in need. RLC operates simply. Using an app developed by Lee’s team, 5 report how much leftover food they have each day. Then volunteers are sent to fetch it. The distance is usually short, so volunteers can just do their deliveries (递送) by walking from the restaurants to the shelters. Lee believes this is a quick way of delivery. So far, Lee and his team have successfully 6 over 150,000 kilograms of food, serving almost 300,000 meals to people who need them. Lee has shown that a 7 action can help people around us greatly.

Jamilla often dug for treasure in the backyard. Now she put down the book and began to dig, 2 a small clay piece. Then out came five more! She washed them clean and found some lines and letters etched (蚀刻) into four of the six pieces. Did they have a secret message? 3 , Jamilla brought the pieces to her grandfather. “Papa, look at what I found! What do these lines and letters mean?” she asked. “That’s quite a special 4 you found. Give me those pieces of clay,” her grandpa said. “Let’s see if we can put them together like doing a jigsaw puzzle.” They soon found four pieces that seemed to 5 together. “What do you see about the lines?” her grandfather asked. Staring at the pieces, Jamilla noticed that some letters ended up under each other. “They don’t spell anything,” she told her grandpa. “That’s true. But you’ll find out soon.” Grandpa took out their family book in which the names of every generation (一代人) were written. “Now look at how the letters go in order. Then look at the names in the book.” “A, R, L, J: those four letters on the clay are in the same order as the initials (首字母) in the book!” she called out, 6 . “You’re right, dear Jamilla. And here’s why: I made a pot out of wet clay on the day you were born,” Papa said proudly. “And then I etched the initials of our family members into it before the clay became dry. Later, I planted seeds in that pot. The seeds grew into a tree—” “My favorite tree!” Jamilla shouted. “Yes. But as the tree 7 , that pot broke,” Papa noted. “You found the roots of your family at the roots of your favorite tree.” Jamilla thought about what her grandfather said. The broken pot she found was more than a backyard treasure: It 8 her family’s history!

She was in great shape—she could still 2 the stairs in her house and run in the park every day. Yes, she’d go skating. The next morning, Margaret arrived at the rink (旱冰场). A girl who worked there asked if she was waiting to watch her grandkid skate. “Oh, no, dear.

"Night after night, I had to repeat this sentence as I waited tables in my family's restaurant. My father was a famous chef and the restaurant was always crowded, so I was always 1 . My father loved cooking and spent most of his time in the kitchen. He wanted me to 2 with him, but I hated the restaurant business. Because of the restaurant, I never had a social life, my father was always busy. Throughout high school and college, I worked with my family, but always 3 the kitchen area and my father. I was impatient to move away from family business and start my own life. As the graduation（毕业） day drew near, my father and I started looking at new cars. It was the first time that I remembered my father spending time with me outside the restaurant. The week before graduation we found the perfect car. I was sure that my father would buy it for me. On the night of graduation, my father handed me a gift—wrapped book. It was my father's old cookbook. I was so angry that I threw the cookbook down and 4 out of the house. I could not believe that with all of his 5 and all of the time that I had spent working in the restaurant, all I would get was that old cookbook. Plus, he knew I hated cooking! I soon moved away and after many years became successful in my own business. Although I often saw my father during the vacation, we never talked about the graduation 6 . Then one day, I got a call that my father was in hospital. I went to see him because I was very 7 and wanted to make sure he would be OK.

But there are also “everyday” heroes—they may not be well-known but they do what they can to help 1 people’s lives as well. Everyday heroes are normal people who are working to make the world a better place. Among them is Robert Lee. Lee grew up in New York City. As his family was not rich, he learned from a young age the importance of 2 the waste of food. When in college, he was part of a student group that gave out leftover (剩余的) food to 3 people. This experience made him realize how serious the problem of food wastage actually was. After he left university, Lee and a friend set up an organization called Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC). Its purpose is to 4 unsold food from restaurants and send it for free to shelters (收容所) and food kitchens. Volunteers pick up the food from restaurants around the city and hand it out to those in need. RLC operates simply. Using an app developed by Lee’s team, 5 report how much leftover food they have each day. Then volunteers are sent to fetch it. The distance is usually short, so volunteers can just do their deliveries (递送) by walking from the restaurants to the shelters. Lee believes this is a quick way of delivery. So far, Lee and his team have successfully 6 over 150,000 kilograms of food, serving almost 300,000 meals to people who need them. Lee has shown that a 7 action can help people around us greatly. It may have a greater influence than we imagine. When Lee is asked what his next plan is, he says there's still a lot to do. “It’s just the 8 .

I wanted to teach some life lessons to help them live happily. However, it was a 1 who taught me a valuable life lesson. I was feeling stressed and burned out that day, as I had felt on most days of that school year. One of my classes was very challenging, and I was 2 of trying to encourage a group of students who seemingly did not care about school. Near the end of my class, I was 3 graded essays to my students. After Jill got hers, she read my comments (评语), checked the grade, smiled up at me, and said, “This will be one of my three good things for today.” I had not heard that 4 before, so I asked her, “What does that mean?” She explained, “Every night before I go to sleep, I think of three good things that happened that day. A good thing doesn’t have to be something big or important. It can be a kind word from a friend or a good meal.” “Thank you for sharing that with me,” I said. “That sounds like a really good habit that encourages you to find good in life every day.” Honestly, I was a little ashamed. A sixteen-year-old student had just taught me a life lesson that I really 5 , as I had seen only the problems in my life. That night I started to 6 the “three good things” habit, and was amazed at how easily I could recall three wonderful things from the day—the discussion I had with my students about a book, the beautiful rainbow I saw, and the evening walk at the park. Focusing on those things was much better than replaying the unpleasant things during the day. During the next few days, I felt a renewed sense of hope.

Jose Hernandez kept trying 12 times over 12 years until he finally realized his dream of becoming an astronaut. Hernandez was born in Mexico. He lived a difficult life when he was young. As the son of a migrant (移居的) farmer, he had to work on different farms to make a living. He traveled with his parents and 1 them pick vegetables, following the growing seasons from Mexico to the farmlands of California in the southwestern United States. As a result, he faced 2 in learning English. But he found balance in other subjects, especially in math and science, because two plus three is five in any language. So he became interested in engineering when he was really young, 3 by his love for numbers and logic. Then, at the age of nine, when he watched TV and saw the astronaut walk on the moon’s surface in the Apollo lunar mission, he had his real dream of becoming an astronaut. When he shared his 4 dream with his parents, they sat him down at the kitchen table and told him some keys to success: a clear goal, an understanding of the steps to get from where you are to where you want to be, hard work, education and most importantly, heart. With their support, Hernandez worked 5 to achieve his dream, even forgetting to have rests. Years later, he graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering and later earned a higher degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Hernandez’s educational career finally 6 some of the requirements to become an astronaut. So he sent his first application (申请) to NASA．Then he started 7 one rejection (拒绝) letter after the other, 11 times in total. But he never gave up. He looked at the skills that the selected (选定的) astronauts had and that he didn’t. He learned to fly and dive, developing the skills he was short of. Finally, in 2004, his 8 paid off. He was selected as an astronaut by NASA． After years of training, Hernandez’s dream came true when he flew on the Space Shuttle Discovery in 2009.

For us, it happened during a trip to Santa Barbara, while we were staying with Daniel, our eldest son near the beautiful beaches. “Dad, don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth,” Daniel 1 on our first night. The same thing happened when I washed my hands. All right, I understood. This is California, where drought is a problem. More 2 followed. “Don’t wear a neck warmer when walking the dogs in the morning—it will warm up when we get to the park.” He asked why I drank so much cola and told me one pump (泵) of hand sanitizer (洗手液) was enough. He even showed me how to fold the rug (毯子) over the chair after using it. At first, I wondered how I’d 3 such a kid. Then I remembered how often I threw the golden rule of parenting at Daniel when he was young. “Someday, you’ll have a home of your own and can live however you want. Before that, you’ll have to do as we ask.” A rude rule, but now it was payback time. Although it felt strange to follow my son’s rules, I quickly saw that there were 4 of doing so. He cleaned dishes after dinner because he thought he could do a better job than my wife and me. And he willingly drove everywhere, saving me from the stressful city traffic, even though it made me carsick. Our role 5 gave me hope for his future parenting ability. We walked along Butterfly Beach on our last afternoon and reached a big rock area. I thought we couldn’t go any further, but Daniel wouldn’t give up.

I just couldn’t wait to tell everyone. My teacher had picked ME! My teacher had 1 me to make a speech in the school hall. It would be the first time I’d ever stood up in front of the whole school — grades one through eight. Every morning and every afternoon I 2 my speech till I knew it forward and backward, there would be no chance of failure. My teacher believed in me, and I wanted to show her I was worthy, that she made the right choice. Entering the school hall, it looked just like I imagined, the huge familiar hall, the whole school there. But I wasn’t afraid. I 3 my time to shine. I followed the cue (提示), stepped toward the headmaster who held out the microphone for me. Without notice, my head went totally blank (空白). It was so important to me. I knew what to say, but I didn’t... I was 4 . Scare started to build up inside me. Looking around the audience, my head felt like an empty scrapbook pages from art class. The headmaster said my name again. All I could stammer was “Um ... I forgot.” The hall fell into 5 . Then I was led off stage. I felt like a balloon with air let out. But even worse than disappointing myself — and the feeling I had 6 my teacher and parents; the fear that everyone would laugh at me. To my surprise, when I was sure I was the “I-Forgot” kid, my classmates came up to me and 7 me, even the older kids in our school. I thought I would never speak again in public. But I made up my mind that I had to face my fear because of the help of my teacher and friends. I was back on stage. I emphasized the power of 8 .

He is an artist’s son, and has almost used the pencil from his cradle.” “That will 3 the pleasure of beating him!” cried Peter. “I’m working on this for four hours a day now; he never draws for more than two.” “You are not neglecting (忽视) your Latin for it, I hope? You have had the Latin prize every term for these three years past,” said Aunt Sophia. “Yes,” replied Peter, with a proud smile; “there is no boy in our class who can 4 me in that, though Mike is now working hard. But I am not satisfied with one prize: I cannot rest till I have won the paint-box for drawing, of which Tom Lee makes so sure. It would be glorious (光荣的) to beat the son of an artist on his own ground!” “Take care,” said his aunt, 5 laying her hand on his shoulder, “that you do not lose the Latin prize, in trying for that which you are not likely to win. Remember the story of the dog that dropped the bone, in catching at the shadow (影子).” On the evening of the day on which the names of the prize-winners were read out, Peter came home from school gloomy (悲伤的). His looks told his aunt enough to make her spare him the pain of questions; but his little sister Rosey was not so 6 . “Hi, Peter,” she cried, running eagerly up to him, “tell me, are you to get the two prizes?” “No,” said Peter in a low angry voice. “Only one?” cried the child in a sad tone. “Not one,” muttered the boy. “I was so busy trying to beat life, that I could not hold my ground against Mike.” Peter threw himself on a chair, in so angry a mood that even Rosey did not dare to 7 him further. Their aunt silently hoped that the 8 might prove worth the pain which it cost, and that the ambitious (有雄心的) boy might not again need to be reminded of the dog in the story. 1．A．ruler B．eraser C．knife D．pencil 2．A．time B．courage C．chance D．patience 3．A．spread B．double C．reduce D．change 4．A．hurt B．match C．notice D．trouble 5．A．gently B．excitedly C．proudly D．bravely 6．A．bored B．amazed C．thoughtful D．careful 7．A．praise B．advise C．support D．question 8．A．lesson B．record C．exam D．activity 主题03 人与社会——中华文化 Cloze 1 （24-25九年级上·北京密云·期末） 阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 When my friend suggested that we join the new Tai Chi (太极拳) Club, I thought he was joking. I always believed Tai Chi was for old people. However, after the first class, I realized that I was wrong. It was amazing. Tai Chi led to a big 1 both in my body and mind. I still remember my first few Tai Chi classes. The basic skill I learned was keeping a balance (平衡). An action was called “golden rooster (公鸡) standing on one leg”. Following the instructions, I tried to stand on one leg. It seemed that it was not a hard one, but I still 2 many times. Soon, I felt bored and tired from practicing over and over again. I started to doubt myself. Maybe I was really 3 in this kind of exercise. Just then, my coach taught me how to relax myself. Step by step, I made 4 .

Kids at my school were curious about the terrible house, but actually it was where I lived with my family. Mom cleaned every room and painted the inside. But the outside still looked 1 . I never told anyone that I lived in that white house. Then one day, Eddie, a boy in my history class, shouted loudly, “I can’t believe Sarah lives in that terrible house. I thought only wild animals lived there!” I felt my face grew hot and held back a tear. “The house will look a lot better once we have it 2 ...” I opened my book, pretending (假装) to read. The next day at school, an older boy named Juan stopped me in the hall. “I heard you are interested in having your house painted. My friend David and I are starting a paint 3 . Can we give you a quote (报价)?” “It’s actually a nice house — good bones,” he continued. “And a paint job can make a house look new.” I was touched by his words. “Thanks. Let me talk to my Mom and get back to you.” After school, I told Mom and Gram about the 4 . “I have a little money I could give you,” Gram said. “I have some money, but I’m sure it won’t be enough.” Mom said 5 . In the morning, an idea hit me in my head. At school, I saw Juan and waved him down. “Have you painted any houses yet, Juan?” “Not yet. We just started.” “Well, what if you paint my house as a sample (样板)? Instead of 6 you, we would let you put a sign in our yard to advertise, and people could see what a great job you’ve done. You know, one good 7 is worth a million dollars.” Juan laughed. “How about if in addition to a sign, you pay for the paint… and buy us a pizza?” “It might work,” I said, smiling. With the money I collected, we were able to 8 Juan’s offer. Each day, as Juan and David worked, every brushstroke was like magic. When the painting was done, the house looked amazing. At the top, there was a lovely board “Sunny House by Juan & David”. Now, the house was very beautiful, inside and outside, and I felt proud of what I had done to it. 1．A．colorful B．beautiful C．awful D．useful 2．A．sold B．built C．locked D．painted 3．A．journey B．business C．activity D．research 4．A．offer B．reply C．advice D．difficulty 5．A．angrily B．proudly C．sadly D．excitedly 6．A．thanking B．paying C．teaching D．trusting 7．A．advertisement B．friend C．job D．house 8．A．believe B．question C．choose D．accept / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
