The lady asked, “Are you selling postcards to help the disabled children?” Tom said yes with a red face.

His life changed, however, one day when he got a heart-shaped box full of chocolate in the mail, with a piece of paper that said, “Somebody loves you.” At first, he couldn’t believe it, but as he read the message, he began to laugh and dance around.

Cold rain poured down! The path turned slippery (湿滑的), and Leo fell, hurting his knee. I remembered the first-aid kit and cleaned his wound. We waited under a big rock until the rain stopped. When we finally reached the top, the view was magical—a rainbow appeared in the sky.

He was even named Adventurer of the Year by a very famous geography magazine in 2018. Although Jerry had done well, he didn’t feel fulfilled. He asked himself, “Is it enough to climb the highest mountains? Am I doing something helpful? How can I turn my adventures into something that can help the world?” Jerry learned that scientists need plants, rocks and water samples (样本) from places far away to do research. But scientists can’t get there themselves as such places are hard to reach—only the bravest adventurers can make it. Jerry thought he could do something to help. Then he came up with an idea. He set up a team of top adventurers to collect samples for scientists. By studying the samples, scientists could know more about the earth and find ways to protect it. Recently Jerry and his adventurer friends have discovered a special plant life of Mount Qomolangma. The samples they brought back have helped scientists research how plants live in terrible weather. For Jerry, this kind of adventure is the most meaningful. “Such adventures have made us see life in a different way. Now, being the best climber isn’t important for me. What matters is doing something helpful while climbing the mountains. There is still much more we can do.” Jerry said to a newspaper. 40．At the beginning of the passage, the first paragraph is mainly about ________.

I woke him up and he rushed (冲) out of the house safely. We tried our best to pour water through the kitchen window but the fire was too big. Luckily, the firemen came and put out the fire quickly.

Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·陕西西安·期末） Jerry is a world-famous mountain climber. He has climbed many high mountains in the world. Starting in 2015, he and his friends spent two years on an adventure (探险) in South America, covering 7,800 miles. He was even named Adventurer of the Year by a very famous geography magazine in 2018. Although Jerry had done well, he didn’t feel fulfilled. He asked himself, “Is it enough to climb the highest mountains? Am I doing something helpful? How can I turn my adventures into something that can help the world?” Jerry learned that scientists need plants, rocks and water samples (样本) from places far away to do research. But scientists can’t get there themselves as such places are hard to reach—only the bravest adventurers can make it. Jerry thought he could do something to help. Then he came up with an idea. He set up a team of top adventurers to collect samples for scientists. By studying the samples, scientists could know more about the earth and find ways to protect it. Recently Jerry and his adventurer friends have discovered a special plant life of Mount Qomolangma. The samples they brought back have helped scientists research how plants live in terrible weather. For Jerry, this kind of adventure is the most meaningful. “Such adventures have made us see life in a different way. Now, being the best climber isn’t important for me.
