In fact, even the closest friends can cause (造成) conflicts without understanding or enough communication (交流). Emma and Lily were best friends since (自从) junior high school.

One day, Lily posted a sad message online, “Some people forget old friends when they find new ones.” Emma saw it and thought Lily was laughing at her. They stopped talking, and their friendship seemed ruined. After a week of silence (沉默), Emma felt hurt and turned to Mrs. Li who was her teacher for help.

I sighed (叹气); nothing ever seemed easy with Leo. I lent him my spare blanket—anything was better than nothing on a cool mountain night. The next morning, we started our hike. The views were breathtaking; everybody we passed smiled and said hello. We saw something amazing near the top—a family of deer grazing (吃草) quietly. Nobody made a sound, respecting their space. It was magical. Later, as we cooked dinner, Leo finally remembered his boots…left by his front door! We couldn’t help laughing.

Although they were poor, their birthdays were always joyful, and the gifts were always homemade. Bebeto remembered how Ana’s eyes lit up when she saw the new doll at a gift store. How he wanted her to have it! Suddenly, he had an idea. The following morning, Bebeto rode his bike to the outskirts (郊区) of town.

As the sun climbed high, Bebeto faced the challenge of the tall trees with ripe (成熟的) mangoes just out of reach. Bebeto made a tool with a bamboo stick to get them. It was tiring work. His neck and arms hurt. His hard work paid off. By late afternoon, his bag was nearly full. On his way back, he worried he would be too late to sell his mangoes. Fortunately, he made it just in time to exchange them for the doll. The next morning, at breakfast, Bebeto placed a large bowl of mangoes in front of Ana. “Happy birthday, my sister,” he said. “My favourite fruit! Thank you, Bebeto!” she picked up the top mango.

We’ve found that sharing household tasks makes our home nicer to live in and teaches us important life skills. My parents created a chore chart that hangs on the fridge. It lists who does what, and we rotate jobs every week so no one gets stuck with the worst tasks. On weekdays, I have two main chores: making my bed right after waking up and setting the table before dinner. My little sister, who is in second grade, feeds our cat and waters the plants. My dad takes out the trash every night, and my mom washes the dishes—though sometimes we trade jobs if someone is busy. Weekends are busier. I clean my room thoroughly, dusting the shelves and vacuuming the floor, while my sister cleans the bathroom sink. Together, we help our parents clean the living room: folding blankets, arranging pillows and wiping the coffee table. Once a month, we do “deep cleaning”—washing the windows, cleaning out the fridge and organizing the garage. At first, I complained about having to do chores, especially on weekends when all I wanted to do was play. But now I realize that it feels good to contribute to our family. When my mom says, “Thanks for helping keep our home nice,” I feel proud. Plus, I’ve learned skills that will help me when I live on my own someday—like how to fold a fitted sheet properly (which is harder than it looks) and how to clean without wasting too much water. Doing chores teaches us responsibility, teamwork and respect for each other’s work. It’s not always fun, but it’s definitely worth it. 1.How do they decide who does which chores? A. They have a chore chart and rotate jobs weekly. B. The parents do all the chores. C. The oldest child does all the chores. D. They never do chores. 2.What is the writer’s weekday chore? A. Feeding the cat. B. Making the bed. C. Cleaning the bathroom. D. Washing the dishes. 3.When do they do “deep cleaning”? A. Every day. B. Every weekend. C. Once a month. D. Once a year. 4.What does the writer learn from doing chores? A. How to avoid work. B. Responsibility, teamwork and respect. C. How to waste time. D. How to argue with family members. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $函学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 专题03阅读理解（记叙文） 基础必练 主题语境01人与自我-个人兴趣 【答案】1.B2.B3.C4B 主题语境02人与自我-个人情况 Passage 1 【答案】1.C2.D3.A Passage 2 【答案】1.A2.B3.C 主题语境03人与自我-家庭、朋友与周围的人 【答案】1.B2.B3.D4.C5.D 主题语境04人与自我-日常活动 Passage 1 【答案】1.B2.B3.A4.C5.C Passage 2 【答案】1.D2.B 进阶提升 主题语境01人与社会-人际交往 【答案】1.A2.B3.A4C 113 函学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 主题语境02人与社会-文学 Passage 1 【答案】1.C2.D3.B Passage 2 【答案】1.B2.A3.A4.B5.C 主题语境03人与自我-个人情况 【答案】1.D2.B3.B 主题语境04人与自我-家庭、朋友与周围的人 Passage 1 【答案】1.B2.C3.B Passage 2 【答案】1.B2.A3.D 主题语境05人与自我-方法与哲理 【答案】1.B2.C3.B4.B 主题语境06人与自我-日常活动 【答案】1.C2.A3.C 主题语境07人与自然-动物与植物 【答案】1.C2.A3.D4.C5.D 拓展培优 主题语境01人与社会-文学 Passage 1 213 可学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 【答案】1.C2.D3.B Passage 2 【答案】1.B2.B3.A4.D5.C 主题语境02人与社会-时代变迁 【答案】1.C2.B3.B 主题语境03人与自我-日常活动 【答案】1.A2.B3.C4.B 3/3 专题03 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题语境01 人与自我-个人兴趣 （25-26八上·河北沧州泊头市第四中学·期中）I’m a 16-year-old boy.

Then, she said to the cactus, “I’m the most beautiful flower here, but you are full of thorns and so ugly!” Day after day, the rose never stopped being unkind to the cactus.

He kindly agreed. The bird filled its beak with water and watered the rose’s roots. The rose was quite sorry for what she had said to the cactus in the past.

No other tree has gold leaves.” A man came by with a bag. He saw the gold leaves, took them all and put them into his bag. The poor little tree cried, “I do not want gold leaves again. I will have glass leaves.” So the little tree went to sleep. The fairy came by and put the glass leaves on it. The little tree woke and saw its glass leaves. How pretty they looked in the sunshine!

My best friend, Leo, who is quite forgetful, promised to join me. “Remind me to pack my hiking boots tomorrow!” he said the night before. I knew I had to remind him about several things.

I sighed (叹气); nothing ever seemed easy with Leo. I lent him my spare blanket—anything was better than nothing on a cool mountain night. The next morning, we started our hike. The views were breathtaking; everybody we passed smiled and said hello. We saw something amazing near the top—a family of deer grazing (吃草) quietly. Nobody made a sound, respecting their space. It was magical. Later, as we cooked dinner, Leo finally remembered his boots…left by his front door! We couldn’t help laughing.

We’ve found that sharing household tasks makes our home nicer to live in and teaches us important life skills. My parents created a chore chart that hangs on the fridge. It lists who does what, and we rotate jobs every week so no one gets stuck with the worst tasks. On weekdays, I have two main chores: making my bed right after waking up and setting the table before dinner. My little sister, who is in second grade, feeds our cat and waters the plants. My dad takes out the trash every night, and my mom washes the dishes—though sometimes we trade jobs if someone is busy. Weekends are busier. I clean my room thoroughly, dusting the shelves and vacuuming the floor, while my sister cleans the bathroom sink. Together, we help our parents clean the living room: folding blankets, arranging pillows and wiping the coffee table. Once a month, we do “deep cleaning”—washing the windows, cleaning out the fridge and organizing the garage. At first, I complained about having to do chores, especially on weekends when all I wanted to do was play. But now I realize that it feels good to contribute to our family. When my mom says, “Thanks for helping keep our home nice,” I feel proud. Plus, I’ve learned skills that will help me when I live on my own someday—like how to fold a fitted sheet properly (which is harder than it looks) and how to clean without wasting too much water. Doing chores teaches us responsibility, teamwork and respect for each other’s work. It’s not always fun, but it’s definitely worth it. 1.How do they decide who does which chores? A. They have a chore chart and rotate jobs weekly. B. The parents do all the chores. C. The oldest child does all the chores. D. They never do chores. 2.What is the writer’s weekday chore? A. Feeding the cat. B. Making the bed. C. Cleaning the bathroom. D. Washing the dishes. 3.When do they do “deep cleaning”? A. Every day. B. Every weekend. C. Once a month. D.
