It’s many people’s favorite time of the year. And it’s the only one with two names: autumn and fall. But why? 1 The word “autumn” comes from the Latin word “autumnus”. In the past, Romans used it to describe the time of the year between summer and winter. When the Roman Empire grew bigger, more people learned the word “autumnus”. In Middle English, the word changed to “autumpne”. 2 “Autumn” has a long history, but the word “fall” developed through a simpler change in language. In 16th-century England, people used “fall of the leaf” and “fall of the year” to describe this season. 3 . During the 17th century, English people moved to the American colonies. 4 Over time, “fall” became more popular because it was simple and easy to use. 5 In the US, “fall” is more common. In the UK, it’s the other way around. A. They brought “fall” and “autumn” with them. B. Today, people in the UK and the US use both words. C. As time went by, “autumn” became a common word for the season. D. The answer is a mix of history, language, and culture. E. The word was then brought to England by Americans. F.

Being a high-energy person is not hard. It just needs good habits in life. 1 Take care of your body. Sleep is the best way to “recharge (充电).” Try to sleep at a fixed time. 2 Eat healthy food such as fresh vegetables, fruit and some meat. Don’t forget to exercise, like walking or running for 30 minutes a day. Keep a good mood. Two big energy killers are guilt (愧疚) and fear. Let them go! 3 Believe and love yourself. It’s OK to be not perfect. Also, stay away from people who make you unhappy. Chat with friends who make you laugh. A nice talk can lift your mood quickly. 4 Do only three important things each day, like finishing homework, cleaning your desk, and reading a book. This way, you won’t feel stressed. Spend an hour a day without your phone, enjoying the moment—you can read a comic or listen to soft music. You can also ask others to do small things for you, like asking your little sister to pass you a pen. Go outside more. 5 Don’t stay at home all day, even on weekends. A short walk in the park can make you feel better. You can also sit on a bench and watch birds fly, or smell the flowers. Sunlight helps your body make a kind of “happy chemical” that keeps you active. Follow these steps, and you’ll become a high-energy person soon! A. Nature gives us energy. B. Focus on small actions. C. Here is how to be a high-energy person. D. A good sleep helps your body get enough rest. E. When you do what you like, you’ll forget tiredness easily. F.

Passage 3 （25-26八上·江苏省宿迁市南京师范大学附属中学·期中）Learning is a necessary part of life, and being a good learner is crucial (至关重要的) for success. 1 Listen up. 2 Only by listening can we know what we need to do and show our respect to the teacher. When the teacher gives us advice, of course listen! We should also listen to our classmates when they talk, because we can get new ideas from them. Get into good habits. Put up your school schedule on your door. Make a note on the schedule about when you need to hand in your homework. 3 This will give you time to check your work before you give it to the teacher. Don’t give up. If you find it difficult to study a certain subject, you can ask for help! 4 You can also ask a teacher for help. What is more, don’t say, “I can’t!” 5 It’s also important to enjoy the subjects. Maybe you don’t love studying math because you think it’s difficult. If you practice hard and get better, you might just like it more. Try finding something in every subject to enjoy! A. Enjoy learning B. Talking more with others. C. Listening carefully in class is important. D. You can learn from some top students. E. Don’t leave your tasks until the last minute. F. You can ask someone to explain it to you. G.

Passage 5 （25-26八上·江苏常州花园中学·期中）Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends upon ourselves. 1 . Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier. 2 .

In Middle English, the word changed to “autumpne”. 2 “Autumn” has a long history, but the word “fall” developed through a simpler change in language. In 16th-century England, people used “fall of the leaf” and “fall of the year” to describe this season. 3 . During the 17th century, English people moved to the American colonies. 4 Over time, “fall” became more popular because it was simple and easy to use. 5 In the US, “fall” is more common.
