Soon, the sky is 1 with thick clouds, which are made of lots of small water droplets. What if these droplets become too heavy? They fall as rain! Some rain flows into rivers, and 2 soaks into the ground. Plants absorb a little of this water through their roots. People used to think water was endless, but now we know we need to save it. As the climate changes, some places get 3 rain than before. When water is used, we must clean it safely before returning it to nature. Sometimes, we waste water without 4 —like leaving the tap running even a second too long. Leaving waste water unprotected, we allow pollution to harm it. Over time, clean-water 5 may get smaller.

Water from oceans, lakes and rivers takes in heat from the sun and evaporates into the air. When the air gets cold enough, these water vapors form tiny clouds. Soon, the sky is 1 with thick clouds, which are made of lots of small water droplets. What if these droplets become too heavy? They fall as rain! Some rain flows into rivers, and 2 soaks into the ground. Plants absorb a little of this water through their roots. People used to think water was endless, but now we know we need to save it. As the climate changes, some places get 3 rain than before. When water is used, we must clean it safely before returning it to nature. Sometimes, we waste water without 4 —like leaving the tap running even a second too long. Leaving waste water unprotected, we allow pollution to harm it. Over time, clean-water 5 may get smaller.

Last Monday, our teacher led us there, and I found a world of green—there are not only just common flowers, but also 1 herbs like mint and lavender. The corner used to be a messy area with old boxes. Our headteacher wanted to improve it, so she planned to turn it into an educational space. Teachers and students 2 seeds, pots and even small tools to support this project. Our science teacher taught us essential skills for plant care. She said, “First, control the water—too much will damage the roots. Second, place pots in bright spots, since sunlight is vital for photosynthesis (光合作用). And remember, 3 is the most important—plants won’t grow up overnight.” I joined the plant care team. Every Wednesday, we 4 the plants’ condition (状态). Last week, we noticed tiny buds on the lavender—they’ll bloom soon! We took photos excitedly, feeling proud of our effort. Last Friday, the school newspaper interviewed us. When asked what we learned, I said, “We not only gain plant knowledge, but also understand that caring for something needs 5 . It’s the small daily efforts that matter, not just big plans.” I think you’d love this corner, as you’re interested in nature.

In addition, depending too much on technology may weaken the personal connection between patients and doctors. In a recent 3 by the World Health Organization, it is said that while technology can revolutionize (革新) healthcare, it must be used carefully. Some technological advancements (提升) in healthcare are 4 to those in other areas. For example, the use of artificial intelligence in both healthcare and customer service industries shows that this technology can be applied (运用) widely. But in healthcare, knowing traditional medical methods is still very important. Medical staff (职工) need to be familiar with both technologies and medical knowledge to provide the best care. （十一） （25-26八上·上海进才中学北校·期中）Complete the following passage with the words or phrases in the box.

After collecting samples, we found a 2 tap. We soaped our hands carefully to get rid of dirt before having snacks. The weather was great—the sky was clear, and the wind blew softly. At first, I worried the activity would be boring, but it turned out to be exciting. We discussed the 3 of outdoor studies: they let us learn things we can’t find in books. We 4 enjoyed every moment.

These natural gifts may be a talent for music or an ability to lead. For me, 1 my inborn talent has been a significant part of my growth. When I was younger, I noticed that I could easily memorize new words and phrases. My friends were poor at vocabulary, but I found it 2 simple. Over time, this inborn talent has not only helped me do well in learning languages but also opened doors to new opportunities, such as participating in language competitions and connecting with people from different cultures. However, having inborn talents does not mean success comes effortlessly. It takes hard work and continuous learning to turn these gifts into 3 . For instance, while my natural talent for languages only gave me a start, I still improved my speaking and writing abilities. Teachers and parents have played an important role in guiding me, helping me develop my skills and encouraging me to set higher 4 . What’s more, recognizing inborn talents is important not just for personal development but also for contributing to society. We can find ways to use our talents to make a 5 impact. Whether it is through teaching others, creating art, or leading teams, our inborn talents can inspire and benefit those around us. In conclusion, while inborn talents provide a foundation, it is with the effort and passion we put into developing these talents that we can reach our achievements.

You can see adults are always busy. You might think new technologies would give us more free time. But if you look back through history, you will find it is not that simple. Back in the early 1900s in America, homes didn’t have much technology. There was no electricity, and most homes didn’t have indoor 2 for water. People had to carry water in and out by themselves. Then new useful things like toilets, fridges, and electric irons were 3 . These were supposed to save people time. But housewives 4 spent more time on housework from the 1920s to the 1960s. Why? Well, better technology makes us want more. Take washing clothes as an example. Before washing machines, people washed clothes only a few times a year. With washing machines, people wash clothes more often and also buy more clothes. Therefore, there’s more work. What’s more, 5 technology cuts time for some housework, people spend more time on other things, like taking care of children. American parents now spend almost twice as much time on their kids as they did in the 1980s. In the end, even if technology can make life a bit more convenient, it often makes us take on more work as we try to 6 what society expects of us. （四） （25-26八上·上海南洋模范初级中学·期中）Complete the following passage with the words in the box.

But in a new place, with people who are different, it can feel strange at first. When you learn to talk with them even though you are different, your brain grows—you become smarter and more confident. 3 , trying hard things is important. Well, we often learn the most in 4 situations. In our daily routines, we know exactly how to act and respond to others.
