You can change it if your friends agree. 2 Add games into study. Make study into a game. For example, when learning history, you can have a test game. 3 One student can be the game host (主持人) to ask questions, and others are players to answer. 4 One of my classmates used to hate studying math. Our teacher suggested giving him small gifts when he did well in math tests. It worked at first. But later, he didn’t care much. Then, the teacher gave him some more difficult math tasks. Now he is used to them. Hope you enjoy your study. A．In this way, you’ll have a feeling that you’re making a choice. B．It’s not easy to be a student. C．How can we make study more interesting? D．Find more difficult study tasks. E．Let one student control the game and others join in. 主题02 人与社会——家庭关系；家庭责任；传统文化；饮食文化；生活故事；考试心理 Passage 1 (24-25八下·湖南长沙一中教育集团·期中) Doing chores not only improves kids’ life skills, but also makes them become more independent. However, many parents may make some mistakes when they ask their kids to do chores. 1 Here’s some useful advice. ▲Ask kids to do age-appropriate (适龄的) chores.

After parents tell them the reasons, they can understand the importance of doing chores and be happy to help make the home clean and tidy. ▲Praise (赞扬) kids when they are doing chores. 4 So it is normal that they can’t do these chores very well.

You can use the time to learn from them when you’re off on your own. It’s OK to get angry but angry actions don’t help you or your parents.

The Chinese enjoy filling their plates with fresh and healthy vegetables, such as snow peas, broccoli, and green beans. 2 Moreover, vegetables are low in calories (卡路里). That means they are one of the best choices for managing the calories you take in at a meal. Unlike some other countries, Chinese meals do not usually end with a high-calorie dessert. 3 However, these soups are usually much lower in calories compared to desserts like cakes or ice cream, even though they have some sugar. 4 In many other countries, sugary cola drinks and energy drinks are popular. However, in China, people have been drinking tea for more than 3,000 years, and they usually enjoy it all day long. Drinking tea can help burn extra calories and can also provide protection against certain diseases. All these points add up to the traditional Chinese diet being a healthy one.

After watching the show, she became more interested in dolphins and wanted to know more about the animals. 1 ►Communicate with Each Other     Every dolphin has its own “name.” This “name” is a special whistle (哨声). When a dolphin is born, it usually has a unique whistle for itself. 1 For example, they talk about their ages, feelings, and how to find food. They also use sounds and body language to communicate.     ► 2     Dolphins live in groups, and they often join others from different groups to play games and have fun, just like people. Scientists believe that only smart animals can play together. Also, Dolphins make plans for getting things they want, just like people. In the seas of southern Brazil, when there are fish near a boat, dolphins make a sound to the fishermen. Then the fishermen put their nets in the water to catch fish. Why do dolphins help the fishermen? That’s because they can eat some of the fish that the fishermen catch.     ►Protect Each Other     Dolphins are very social animals and they look out for each other. If one dolphin is in trouble, others will come to help. For example, if a dolphin is injured, the other dolphins will stay with it and help it swim. 1 This shows that dolphins not only play together but also care for each other deeply.

Here are some tips on listening. We hope they can help you in one way or another. ●Try to relax yourself. Before you start to listen to something, you need to relax. This will help you with your listening. ● 1 The first sentence can tell you a lot about the whole article. For example, at the very beginning, if you hear “Many shops in many parts of China have decided to take all kinds of Japanese goods off their shelves, but some people say it’s not a good idea. Our reporter says.”, you know you will hear a piece of news, not children’s story, or a science report. ●Think when you’re listening. When you’re listening, try to do some thinking.

Others climb big rocks or take photos of dangerous animals. 1 Some people take risks simply because it makes them feel good. Psychologist (心理学家) Marvin says that this kind of explorers (探索者) are always looking for change and excitement. When people do something new or risky, a chemical (化学物质) in the brain creates a pleasant feeling. 2 3 For example, Mike Fay went on a dangerous 2,000-mile special journey in central Africa.

For example, skier Daron Rahlves says that being afraid makes him try harder to succeed. Most of us are not extreme athletes or explorers. 5 Some of us take social risks, such as speaking in front of a large group of people. Sometimes, we take risks of money, such as buying a house.

The reason behind this is the traditional Chinese diet which is known for its health benefits (好处). 1 A traditional Chinese diet is heavy on vegetables. The Chinese enjoy filling their plates with fresh and healthy vegetables, such as snow peas, broccoli, and green beans. 2 Moreover, vegetables are low in calories (卡路里). That means they are one of the best choices for managing the calories you take in at a meal. Unlike some other countries, Chinese meals do not usually end with a high-calorie dessert. 3 However, these soups are usually much lower in calories compared to desserts like cakes or ice cream, even though they have some sugar. 4 In many other countries, sugary cola drinks and energy drinks are popular. However, in China, people have been drinking tea for more than 3,000 years, and they usually enjoy it all day long. Drinking tea can help burn extra calories and can also provide protection against certain diseases. All these points add up to the traditional Chinese diet being a healthy one. Lots of fresh vegetables, fewer desserts, and a love for tea all help people to stay slim and healthy. A．These vegetables are good for the body and can even help in fighting cancer (癌症).

Mary felt excited when she saw the dolphins play with balls, go through rings, and dance with the trainers. After watching the show, she became more interested in dolphins and wanted to know more about the animals. 1 ►Communicate with Each Other     Every dolphin has its own “name.” This “name” is a special whistle (哨声). When a dolphin is born, it usually has a unique whistle for itself. 1 For example, they talk about their ages, feelings, and how to find food. They also use sounds and body language to communicate.     ► 2     Dolphins live in groups, and they often join others from different groups to play games and have fun, just like people. Scientists believe that only smart animals can play together. Also, Dolphins make plans for getting things they want, just like people. In the seas of southern Brazil, when there are fish near a boat, dolphins make a sound to the fishermen. Then the fishermen put their nets in the water to catch fish. Why do dolphins help the fishermen? That’s because they can eat some of the fish that the fishermen catch.     ►Protect Each Other     Dolphins are very social animals and they look out for each other. If one dolphin is in trouble, others will come to help. For example, if a dolphin is injured, the other dolphins will stay with it and help it swim. 1 This shows that dolphins not only play together but also care for each other deeply. A．Play together and be smart B．Make a Friend with people C．They will also protect their young ones from danger. D．Dolphins “talk” to each other about a lot of things.
