The book describes a mother asking her five-year-old daughter to run to a store near their home to get some milk. The child is nervous about going alone but she finishes it successfully. The TV show shows young children are also able to do many things by themselves. After watching the show, Mary decided to have a try. She then found a way on the Internet to make her children interested in the housework. Mary used an app called You Rule Chores. It can make doing the housework more like playing a game. Every time the children finish a chore, they can get a coin (硬币) on the app as a prize. The more chores they do, the more coins they can get. Then they can use the coins to watch their favorite movies or take a trip. Now, Mary’s children can do lots of chores themselves and become more independent. 1. What made Mary change her mind about doing chores? 2. Where does the idea of the TV show come from? 3. How did Mary make her children interested in the housework? 4. What can the children do with the coins? 5. Do you think children should do chores at home? Why or why not? 【答案】1. A TV show called Old Enough. 2. A children’s picture book. 3. She used an app called You Rule Chores. 4. They can use the coins to watch their favorite movies or take a trip. 5. Yes, I do.

But do our grandparents have a special festival? Yes, they do! The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for the old people in China. It started long ago. The festival is on September 9th in the lunar calendar. On this day, people wish the elderly health and longevity. There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect. When an older person enters a room, everyone stands. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we hand a book to an older person, two hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus. Respecting older people is a tradition in China. That’s because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. Chinese people are proud of being old. In Western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old. They are called “seniors” instead of old people. They’d rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement (退休), they take up hobbies, part-time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well. Westerners respect their older people, too. Usually, seniors don’t have to buy tickets for trains or buses. They can get discounts (折扣) in stores and restaurants. But Western seniors don’t often live with their children—they live alone. For holidays, the family usually gather at the grandparents’ home. A great smile and a warm hug to the parents are enough for grown children to show their respect. 1. When is the Double Ninth Festival? 2. How many ways do Chinese people use to express their respect in the passage? 3. What can the young people learn from older people in China? 4.

You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so that you can understand the problem better. No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have some things in common.

While they might mean well, it can make you feel sad or even angry. So, how should you deal with this situation? Understand their purposes. Most parents compare because they want you to improve. They believe that others’ success will encourage you. So, try to understand their purposes. Ask yourself: are they really criticizing (批评) me, or just hoping I’ll do better? Communicate calmly. If comparisons get you down, talk to your parents in a respectful way. For example, you can say, “I know you want me to succeed, but when you compare me with others, I feel like I’m not good enough.” This helps them understand your feelings without starting an argument. Turn comparisons into motivation (激励). If your parents praise (称赞) some people, ask yourself what you can learn from them. Maybe they study efficiently, practise more, or use time more wisely. Get into their good habits, and you will do better next time. Build self-confidence. Write down your strengths—maybe you’re creative, kind, or brave. When your parents compare, think of what makes you special. With the confidence, you will not care too much about unhelpful comparisons. Parents’ comparisons can be hard, but you can deal with them wisely. Remember, you are not defined (定义) by others’ success-your progress is what truly matters. 1. Why do most parents compare their children with others? 2. What should you do if comparisons get you down? 3. Why does the writer advise learning from the people your parents praise? 4.

Because we can get into their good habits and do better next time. 4. Write down our strengths and think of what makes us special. 5. 回答合理即可，参考答案：We can actively share our progress and efforts with parents to let them see our growth. 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，针对父母常将孩子与他人比较的现象，分析了父母的本意，并提出了理解目的、冷静沟通、转化为动力和建立自信四种应对策略，帮助青少年以积极心态面对这一问题。 (1)题解析： 根据“Most parents compare because they want you to improve.

Now the next step—walking. You’d seen others do it. It didn’t look that hard—just move your legs while you were standing. Wrong—more difficult than you ever imagined.

So animals and humans need plants to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us. If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are many kinds of plants. Some plants are large while others are small. Most plants are green. There are two main kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants have leaves, flowers and fruits. Almost all the trees around us are flowering plants. You can probably recognize (识别) some plants from their flowers or fruits. You cannot see any flowers on non-flowering plants. Many non-flowering plants grow in the forest. Plants are very useful to us. We get food from plants. Fruits, vegetables and grains (谷物) come from plants. We also get wood (木材) from trees. We can use wood to make paper. We can use some plants to make medicine. Besides, plants can help to keep our environment (环境) clean. So we should plant more trees and take good care of them. 1.

Sports teams stopped their practices, and teachers did not give homework.

There were lots of activities. Storytelling and card games were the most popular. These activities gave families the chance to spend time together.

The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for the old people in China. It started long ago. The festival is on September 9th in the lunar calendar. On this day, people wish the elderly health and longevity. There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect. When an older person enters a room, everyone stands. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we hand a book to an older person, two hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus. Respecting older people is a tradition in China. That’s because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. Chinese people are proud of being old. In Western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old. They are called “seniors” instead of old people. They’d rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement (退休), they take up hobbies, part-time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well. Westerners respect their older people, too. Usually, seniors don’t have to buy tickets for trains or buses. They can get discounts (折扣) in stores and restaurants. But Western seniors don’t often live with their children—they live alone. For holidays, the family usually gather at the grandparents’ home. A great smile and a warm hug to the parents are enough for grown children to show their respect. 1. When is the Double Ninth Festival? 2. How many ways do Chinese people use to express their respect in the passage? 3. What can the young people learn from older people in China? 4. How do Western grown children show their respect? 5. How do you show your respect to the older people in your daily life? （八） （25-26八上·河北石家庄第九中学·期中）Hou Yan works in the Ningxia Performing Arts Group Qinqiang Theatre. She started learning Qinqiang Opera from her mother when she was only 4. Practicing the skills of Qinqiang Opera is hard. In 1985, Hou Yan studied at an art school. Teachers there were very strict with students. While practicing, she had to hold (保持) each move for half an hour. A single mistake meant that she needed to start all over again. Her hard work paid off (回报). Hou Yan became a performer in a troupe (剧团) in Yinchuan at the age of 16. But in 1993, pop music and western music became popular. As a result (因此), almost nobody would like to watch Qinqiang Opera performance. The troupe was closed and Hou Yan had to leave the stage she loved. However, in the past year, China did a lot to develop traditional (传统) culture. Hou returned to the stage in 2000. “Although I left the stage for several years, I never stopped practicing.” said Hou. Now, Hou’s team gives hundreds of Qinqiang Opera performances every year in Ningxia. The average age of Hou’s team members is 30 years old. In 2021, they gave about 150 school performances.

If you don’t tell the truth, you may lose your friend’s trust. Generosity means sharing and sharing makes friendships grow. You don’t have to give them your money or your clothes, of course. Instead, you share your ideas and feelings. Understanding can be valuable to a friend. Everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so that you can understand the problem better. No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have some things in common. In fact, good friendships will just not easily last. Therefore, to keep a lasting friendship, you must give as much as you take. 1. Who did the survey about friendship? . 2.

While they might mean well, it can make you feel sad or even angry. So, how should you deal with this situation? Understand their purposes. Most parents compare because they want you to improve. They believe that others’ success will encourage you. So, try to understand their purposes. Ask yourself: are they really criticizing (批评) me, or just hoping I’ll do better? Communicate calmly. If comparisons get you down, talk to your parents in a respectful way. For example, you can say, “I know you want me to succeed, but when you compare me with others, I feel like I’m not good enough.” This helps them understand your feelings without starting an argument. Turn comparisons into motivation (激励). If your parents praise (称赞) some people, ask yourself what you can learn from them. Maybe they study efficiently, practise more, or use time more wisely. Get into their good habits, and you will do better next time. Build self-confidence. Write down your strengths—maybe you’re creative, kind, or brave. When your parents compare, think of what makes you special. With the confidence, you will not care too much about unhelpful comparisons. Parents’ comparisons can be hard, but you can deal with them wisely. Remember, you are not defined (定义) by others’ success-your progress is what truly matters. 1. Why do most parents compare their children with others? 2. What should you do if comparisons get you down? 3. Why does the writer advise learning from the people your parents praise? 4. How can you build your self-confidence when facing comparisons? 5.

Will you sit alone or in pairs? In fact, there are many different classroom seating arrangements (排列). Let’s take a look at some of them. Traditional Seating Students sit alone in rows. This seating arrangement helps students listen to the teacher carefully. But it is not convenient (便利的) for students to have discussions in class. Paired Seating Two desks are put together. Students sit side by side. Sitting in pairs allows students to discuss and cooperate (合作) with their deskmates. However, some students can’t focus on their lessons because they may chat with their deskmates. Group Seating Students sit in small groups, facing each other. This arrangement is great for either large or small classes. It is good for group discussions and cooperation. But there is a problem. When students are doing group work, some of them may sit back (袖手旁观) and leave others to find a way out. U-Shaped Seating Desks are placed in a U-shape. This kind of seating creates an open space in the middle. The teacher has enough space to move around. However, it takes up (占据) more classroom space. Every coin has two sides. Every seating arrangement has its own advantages (优点) and disadvantages. 1. How do students sit in traditional seating? 2. What is the disadvantage of U-shaped seating? 3. Why can’t students sitting in pairs focus on their lessons? 4. Which of the seating arrangements help students cooperate with each other? 5. Which seating arrangement do you like best?

You fell down, and then got back up. You laughed sometimes and cried at other times. After much practice, you finally learned how to balance yourself. You got much pleasure from this new feeling of power—you’d stand everywhere you could. It was a happy time—you did it! Now the next step—walking. You’d seen others do it. It didn’t look that hard—just move your legs while you were standing. Wrong—more difficult than you ever imagined. But after you tried walking again and again, you understood how to walk. If people found you walking, they cheered, “Oh, look at what the kid is doing.” This encouraged you! But look back on those days when you were the little child—how many times did you try when no one was watching, or when no one was cheering? You couldn’t wait for someone to encourage you to take the next steps. You learned how to encourage yourself. So, keep trying and encouraging yourself as you learned to walk if you want to succeed in doing something. 1. How does the writer start his article (文章)? 2.
