Want to be an engineer, a policeman or a musician? So join us to show your talent!
Takeover Day is for young people to “take over (接手)” the work from adults. Of course, it’s impossible to give someone the job of becoming a film star. However, Takeover Day gives young people jobs as engineers, policemen, musicians, computer programmers, teachers and reporters.
What’s the day for? First, students can have social practice (社会实践). Second, adults can learn something new from students.

Sally, 15, became the headmaster (校长) of her school. “It was really difficult!” she said. “So many meetings!” However, Sally thinks she learned a lot.
“My favourite part of the day was meeting the school cook for us students. It was a great time to tell him what we really like eating!”

Could people dig a hole all the way through the earth? Some people joke about being able to dig to China from Australia on the other side of the world. It’s true that Chinese scientists are digging deep to study the centre of the earth!
Earlier on May 30,2023, China started drilling(钻) its first over 10,000-metre-deep borehole(钻孔) in Xinjiang. By Oct.1,2023, the hole was already 7,856 metres deep. The borehole had a planned depth of 11,100 metres. When it was finished in February 2025, it became the deepest hole with 10,910 metres ever dug in China and the second deepest in the world. It took one year and nine months to complete the digging project.
Sun Jinsheng, a scientist in China, said the hole was very difficult to dig. “The difficulty of the digging project can be compared to a big truck driving on two thin steel cables(钢缆),” he said. The drill goes through more than ten layers(层) of rock. The oldest layer is about 145 million years old. The earth has lots of heat inside. So as the drill goes deeper, it faces hotter and hotter temperatures. The metal drill could get so hot that it would become as soft as noodles. The company dealt with this problem by using high-tech tools, such as heat-resistant(耐热的) drills.
China’s National Petroleum Corp is the company leading the project. It said the hole would provide useful information about deep underground areas, which can help scientists learn what happens inside our planet. The hole was dug in an area rich in oil. The oil could be used to heat buildings and make fuel(燃料) for cars and planes. It’s important to look deep into the earth because it could help in finding energy resources. It could also help scientists study the risks of natural disasters, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions(火山爆发).
( )15. What can the oil in the hole be used for?
① Helping in making planes.
② Heating buildings.
③ Studying the risks of natural disasters.
④ Making fuel for cars.
A. ①② B. ②④
C. ③④ D. ①④
( )16. How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 3?
A. By having a discussion. B. By reporting a result.
C. By making a comparison. D. By listing numbers.
( )17. What do we know about the hole in Xinjiang according to the passage?
A. It’s the world’s deepest man-made hole.
B. It might mean a lot to the scientific study.
C. The deeper it is, the more oil we’ll get.
D. It hasn’t finished digging yet.
( )18. What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing the passage?
A. To explain what happens inside the earth.
B. To praise how China develops in drilling.
C. To spread high technology tools for drilling.
D. To introduce China’s deep borehole project.
C
It is a common question to ask yourself: What do you want to be when you grow up?
In the past, it was generally accepted that one person would follow one career. But a new group has changed this idea. Known as “slashers (斜杠青年)”, they like taking up jobs across several fields.
There are many reasons why this has become popular, especially among those under the age of 30. In modern competitive society, having multiple income streams (多种收入来源) is one of the best ways to create financial security(金融安全). Zhao Sichen is one follower of the slasher movement. The 34-year-old woman is an English teacher at Tsinghua University High School. Outside the classroom, Zhao works as a project manager at NetEase. And she also works with outdoor sports brands. “I always wanted to be an educator and now education is the center of my career,” she says. “But I also have an interest in fitness and management.”
★ , becoming a “slasher” cuts down boredom in one single job. Erin Albert is a typical “slasher” in the UK. Apart from writing books, Erin is an assistant professor, a businesswoman, and a law student. She often asks her students, “Why can’t we take a job offer we’re not sure about and work toward our ‘dream’ job together?”
Online tools and platforms have allowed people to make this choice by letting them work on the Internet. It is much easier for those who have an interest in different jobs to achieve them at the same time.
( )19. According to Paragraph 2, “slashers” ______.
A. follow just one career B. change jobs very often
C. are mostly 30 years old D. probably do several jobs
( )20. Which of the following can be put in ★ ?
A. Instead of having different ideas
B. Besides providing a sense of financial security
C. To get people to go for their dreams
D. To make people feel less bored in a single job
( )21. Two examples are given to make readers ______.
A. understand the reasons to be a “slasher”
B. follow them to be a “slasher”
C. know more about the young men
D. learn about their different interests
( )22. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. One Person, Two Careers B. “Slashing” Through Jobs
C. For a Sense of Security D. Finding Your Dream Jobs
D
Careless mistakes used to bother(使烦恼) me. I often thought they were just about “not being careful”. But over time, I learned that these mistakes can show how we think. To rise above them, we need to change how we solve problems.
I start by understanding that everyone makes mistakes; it is simply a part of being humans. Accepting this cuts down my stress and helps me get better.
Later, I decide to keep a journal(日志) of my mistakes. I mark down what I did wrong and organize my mistakes, like misreading or miscalculating(误算). This helps me learn from my mistakes.
Next, I make checklists(检查清单) for things to do for different subjects. For math, there are steps like checking answers and calculations. For writing, I review the paper and do a grammar check. These checklists become my guides, helping me through my work.
Taking breaks is important too. Whenever I feel worried, I take a deep breath, rethink my approach(方法) and slow down my thinking. This helps me catch mistakes before they happen.
What’s more, I celebrate my improvements, no matter how small they are. This practice not only makes me feel more confident, but also helps me improve.
( )23.How many ways does the writer use to solve the problems of careless mistakes?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
( )24. Which word can describe the writer?
A. Brave. B. Creative. C. Helpful. D. Shy.
( )25. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. How to avoid making mistakes in daily life.
B. How to deal with careless mistakes.
C. Why people often make mistakes.
D. Why we change the way of solving problems.
( )26. Where can we probably read this passage?
A. In a sports magazine. B. In a cooking magazine.
C. In a guidebook. D. In a study magazine.

Growing up can be exciting and difficult at the same time. My life in Grade 8 was full of both troubles and joy.

With my teacher’s help, I decided to change. I started to smile at others and say “hello” first. I joined a school club and shared the same interest with others. Slowly, I made friends. Now I’m happy and proud of myself because of making good friends.
Although growing up has troubles sometimes, I believe pains will bring more gains in the future.
