英语人教版新教材八年级下册阅读专项训练 Unit 1 Time to Relax 本资料分为三部分，第一部分为阅读理解，第二部分为完形填空，第三部分为阅读填空。 第一部分 阅读理解 A How do you spend your free time? Do you make good use of your free time? Letˈs see how the four students do. In my country, it snows for seven months of the year. So my favourite free time activity is skiing. I usually ski with my friends three times or more a week, and every time we ski for two hours. That makes me feel relaxed and energetic. And when there is no snow, I like to make things by hand. Itˈs meaningful. Iˈm in a band at school. I can play the guitar and the piano, but in the group Iˈm the singer. So I always play music in my free time. I also love taking photos. I think photos can help us remember wonderful moments and find the beauty around. I like working on the photos with a computer. In my free time, I mainly do two things—dance and karate（空手道）. Many people in Brazil dance. I dance every Wednesday and Saturday. Itˈs a good way of exercise. Karate can help protect myself. I practise it in a club three times a week. I have many friends with the same interest in the club. As a student in Grade 9, I donˈt have much free time every week. But I try to make the best use of it. Every day I do exercise like swimming. Before going to bed, I usually read books, especially history books. Sometimes I go to the movies. And now, thereˈs almost no time to play computer games. 1.Where is Sophia probably from? A. Russia.

I found I was interested in collecting leaves of beautiful shapes and colors, so I talked with my mum about it.“Collecting leaves needs to be done outside so you can also enjoy the fresh air. Believe me. It will make your spare time more colourful,” my mother said. She also gave me a nice notebook to save the leaves. There was a park near my home. It was a good place to get leaves. One day, my grandmother went there with me. We walked slowly around it and picked up many leaves. After that, she went there with me several times.“At first, I just wanted to be with you so that you wouldn't feel lonely. However, I have fallen in love with the activity now.” After hearing her words, I understood something.
