I. 成语故事
During the Jin Dynasty,there was a child named Che Yin who loved to read. However,his family was too poor to buy lamp (灯) oil for him to study at night. One summer night,he was reading when he saw many fireflies (萤火虫) lighting up the sky. Suddenly he had a good idea. He found a silk bag,caught as many fireflies as he could,and hung up this bag. Although it wasn't as bright as a lamp,it worked well enough that he could use the light to read. It's said that he spent all his summer nights reading like this.

II. 学习困难
在我们的学习过程中,难免会遇到各种学习上的困难。在班会上,同学们深入探讨了学习困难这一话题。
Having Trouble Learning
At times, learning anything new can be very difficult. Some children have the added trouble of not seeing words or numbers in the right way. This can make school work seem not just difficult but impossible.
The first people to notice a learning problem are usually parents. They can see that something is not right and try to find out what the problem may be. There are many different types of learning problems, but usually a learning problem comes from a person's brain being wired differently. Although some say that people with a learning problem are slow, this is not true. A child with a learning problem is often just as smart as other children, but because of the different way the child's brain joins things together, it makes learning something new much harder for that child.
Albert Einstein could not read anything until he was nine years old. Walt Disney and many other scientists and artists had trouble reading their whole lives, but that did not stop them from doing great things. Doctors guess that as many as 15% of people have some kind of a learning problem.
A lot of people with learning problems have a problem in their brains that makes words, numbers, and letters look all mixed up. A child with this problem can look at a word or Maths question written down by a teacher or in a book, but the child may not see the same thing as others see. The words or letters may be backwards or out of order. You can imagine how difficult it would be to read or do Maths with all the numbers or letters mixed-up all the time.
Children with learning problems can do well in school. It is up to the parents, teachers and other helpers in schools to notice and treat learning problems as early as possible. They can do this by using special tests to see exactly what the problem is. Then they will know how to help the child. Many children with learning problems can become average or above average students when given the right tools to help themselves.
Before a child with a learning problem is tested, he or she might have a lot of trouble in school. The child may even want to quit school. That is why it is so important to catch the problem as early as possible.
1. The word "wired" in Paragraph 2 probably means "_____________".
A. shown B. fixed C. taught D. joined
2. Why does the writer use the examples in Paragraph 3?
A. To prove learning problems are very common among scientists.
B. To discuss how learning problems cause difficulties in reading.
C. To show people with learning problems can still be successful.
D. To stress why it is important to find learning problems early.
3. Why do some children have learning problems?
A. Because their brains take in information in different ways.
B. Because their teachers are not good at using special tests.
C. Because they mix up all the numbers or letters.
D. Because they are not as smart as other children.
4. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To introduce how children work out their learning problems.
B. To argue children with learning problems should quit school.
C. To explain why children with learning problems behave differently.
D. To suggest children's learning problems should be found and addressed early.
Questions:
1. How can we students support a child with learning problems at school?
2. What advice would you give to a child who has learning problems?
III. 学习工具
随着科技的不断发展,学习工具也在不断更新和进步。在如今的学习中,人工智能(AI)逐渐成为了我们学习的得力助手,尤其在英语学习方面发挥着重要作用。八年级一班的同学们交流了关于 AI 学习工具的使用体验。(有一项多余)
In recent years, AI has become a useful tool in our study, especially in learning English.
AI provides different learning apps. For example, some apps can listen to our pronunciation and point out mistakes quickly. 1. ___________They tell us how to move our mouths and tongues to make the right sound, just like a patient teacher. There are also apps that offer personalised reading materials. If we like stories, it will offer interesting English stories at our level. 2. __________
Another great use of AI is in writing. When we write an English article and enter it into an AI writing helper, it can correct grammar mistakes and give suggestions on better words or sentences.
3. __________ For example, if we always use the same simple words, it will show us some other words with richer meanings to make our writing more vivid.
Moreover, AI can create an immersive language environment. 4. ___________ We can talk about our daily life, hobbies, or even discuss a movie we watched. The AI will respond and keep the conversation going.
All in all, AI is really helpful in our English learning. 5. __________ But we should also remember that it is just a tool. We still need to work hard and practice more to truly master the English language.
A. It makes learning more interesting and effective.
B. It helps us learn how to express our ideas more clearly.
C. AI can even help us remember new words by playing fun games.
D. Some apps also provide videos to teach pronunciation step by step.
E. After reading, we can answer some simple questions to check our understanding.
F. Through virtual conversations with AI characters, we can practice speaking English freely.

The top students also take good notes while 8. _________(read) the text assignment. In fact, David Cirri, another top student interviewed, uses "my homemade" system in which he draws a line down the centre of a notebook, writes notes from the text on one side and those from the lecture delivered by the teacher on the other.
