三、阅读理解
第一篇
Self-improvement is becoming more popular among teenagers these days. A recent survey shows that 78% of middle school students have made plans for self-improvement. The most common goals are improving grades (62%), developing good habits (58%), and making more friends (45%).
Many students choose to achieve their goals by setting small, daily tasks. For example, a student who wants to improve his English might read one English story every day. Another student who wants to develop a healthy habit might exercise for 20 minutes each morning.
Teachers say that self-improvement helps students become more responsible and confident. "When students set their own goals and work hard to achieve them, they learn to take control of their lives," said Mr. Wang, a middle school teacher. "It also teaches them that hard work pays off."
However, some students find it difficult to keep up with their plans. They might lose interest after a few weeks. To solve this problem, experts suggest that students should share their goals with friends or family, who can give them support and encouragement.
26. What percentage of students have made self-improvement plans?
A. 45% B. 58% C. 62% D. 78%

A. Making more friends B. Developing good habits
C. Improving grades D. Learning a new skill
28. How do many students achieve their self-improvement goals?
A. By setting small daily tasks B. By taking after-school classes
C. By asking teachers for help D. By joining study groups
29. What do teachers think of self-improvement?

My Journey to a Better Me

In Grade 6, I met a new teacher, Miss Li. She noticed that I was smart but didn't put in effort. She talked to me and told me that I could be a top student if I tried hard. Her words made me think. I decided to change.
I started to make a study plan. I got up early every morning to read English and do math exercises. After school, I finished my homework first before playing. I also asked my teachers and classmates for help when I had problems.
At the end of the term, I got the third prize in my class. I was so happy. Now I'm in Grade 9, and I still keep good study habits. I know that being a better me requires continuous effort.

How to Develop a Good Habit
Developing a good habit can help you become a better person. Here are some tips to help you:
First, start small. Don't try to change too many things at once. For example, if you want to develop a reading habit, start by reading 10 pages a day instead of a whole book.
Second, make a schedule. Decide when and how often you will do the habit. Write it down and stick to it. For example, you can read every night before bedtime.
Third, get support. Tell your friends or family about your plan. They can remind you and encourage you when you feel lazy.
Fourth, be patient. It takes about 21 days to form a new habit. Don't give up if you miss a day. Just start again the next day.
Finally, reward yourself. When you keep the habit for a week or a month, give yourself a small reward, like eating your favorite snack or watching a movie. This will help you stay motivated.
36. What is the first tip to develop a good habit?
A. Make a schedule B. Start small C. Get support D. Be patient

四、任务型阅读
I used to be a shy girl who didn't like to talk to others. I was afraid to join any school activities and always stayed alone during breaks. My parents told me to be more outgoing, but I didn't know how.
When I entered Grade 9, our school started a volunteer club. My teacher encouraged me to join it. I was nervous at first, but I decided to try.
In the club, I worked with other students to help old people at the community center. We talked to them, helped them clean their houses, and read newspapers for them. Gradually, I started to feel more comfortable talking to others. I made many friends in the club.
Now, I'm no longer shy. I often take part in class discussions and school activities. I even joined the school speech team and won a prize last month. I've learned that stepping out of my comfort zone is the first step to becoming a better me.

七、书面表达(例文)
To Be a Better Me
I have made great changes in my life for self-improvement.
In the past, I didn't take study seriously and was crazy about mobile games. I hardly ever exercised, so I was weak. Later, I realized I needed to change. Now, I make a daily study plan to finish my homework on time and review lessons every night. I also exercise for 30 minutes every morning and develop a reading habit by reading one story every day.
In the future, I plan to join more volunteer activities to help others. I will also practice spoken English every day to improve it. I believe I can become a better me with continuous effort.
