Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, 1862.

“I can see farther than anyone,” the first brother said. “At the top of that tree, there are five eggs in a nest.”
“I am faster than all of you—I move as quickly as a cat,” said the second brother. He climbed up, took the eggs quietly, and then put them back. The bird never noticed it.
“I can shoot better than all of you,” said the third. He then shot a leaf above the nest.
The fourth brother said, “I can sew (缝补) anything together, even something as soft as that leaf.” In no time, the leaf was as good as new.
Not long after, the king’s daughter was taken away by a dragon. The king said whoever brought the princess (公主) back could marry (娶) her.
The first brother said, “I see her! She is far away, on a rock at sea, with the dragon.” So the brothers sailed to the rock.
The third brother said, “I may hurt the princess if I shoot the dragon.”
“Leave it to me,” said the second brother. He moved as quietly as a mouse and quickly freed the princess.
Suddenly, the dragon began to chase (追赶) them. The third brother shot it, but its fall broke their ship. Luckily, the fourth brother took his needle and sewed the ship together. Then they sailed home safely.
The happy king asked, “Which of you will marry my daughter?” The brothers began to argue (争吵). Each brother believed that he did more than the others. Finally, the king said, “Each of you is as good as the others, but you are much stronger together. Instead, I give half of my kingdom to you as a reward.” The brothers were pleased.

(25-26八上·四川遂宁中学·期中)Starting middle school made me really nervous (紧张的), especially when my best friend, Callie, suddenly joined the popular group. It felt like she left me behind, and I was alone. On the first day, I quickly realized things were different. Callie didn’t sit with me anymore, and I found it difficult to get along with my new classmates.
At lunchtime, I ended up sitting by myself until I met three new girls—Mia, Emma, and Alexis. They were so friendly, and soon, I started feeling more peaceful around them. As the days passed, I spent more time with them, and slowly, school didn’t seem so bad.
One day, we had a great idea: we decided to start a cupcake club! Everyone would add something different to the group. I’ve always loved baking (烘焙), so I was excited to join. Together, we planned to bake cupcakes and sell them to raise money for the school. This means we wanted to collect money by selling the cupcakes.
As time went on, my confidence grew. I realized I didn’t need to be part of the “popular” group to feel happy. Even though Callie and I weren’t as close as we used to be, I was OK with that. I had found new friends who liked me for who I really was.
Through the cupcake club, I found my own place in middle school. I learned that being true to myself was important. I felt happy and confident, knowing that with the support of my new friends, I could face any problems that came my way.

Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的). Recently, a group of Americans who taught English in other countries shared their experiences. They realized that misunderstanding happened in their daily life quite often, even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”.
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific (太平洋), Lisa thought people didn’t notice her. It was a hot day. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks?” The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa asked again. Still, the woman said nothing. Later, Lisa learned the woman had answered her-she raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which means “yes” in Micronesia.
Jenny remembered her experience in Bulgaria, a European country. She went to a restaurant famous for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?” He nodded his head. Jenny waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no”.
Tom had a parallel problem when he was in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the heads. He thought some didn’t understand, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You need to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”.

During the week, Leo discovered some forgotten joys: He helped Mia build her “fort”, laughing as they read stories inside. He played football with his dad in the park and learnt to cook from his mum. Once feeling bored, he almost picked up his phone, but Mum reminded him of their challenge. Finally, they had a chess game night.

The Brave Homing Pigeon
Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, 1862.
The captain sighed. This was the thickest fog he had ever seen. They were over 330 kilometers from the closest land, so he didn’t know where to go. The ship was on its way to Europe. Just ten hours ago they left New York, but now the engine stopped working. Clearly, they needed help!
Suddenly, the captain remembered the homing pigeons. He ran to them quickly, wrote a message for help, and tied it to Big Blue’s leg. Big Blue flew up and then returned almost right away.
The captain became more worried.
“You are our last hope, little guy,” said the captain as he tied a note to Arny, the smaller and younger of the two pigeons. The captain threw him into the air. Arny flew around and around, higher and higher. Soon, the bird was away from the ship, and the captain couldn’t see Arny anymore.
“That’s a good sign,” said the captain with more hope.
Almost 340 kilometers away, Billy heard fast-moving wings come into his building and go straight to the water bowl.
“Hi there, little guy. Well, aren’t you the thirstiest bird!” Billy smiled. Then he saw the note.
Billy knew what to do. He took the note, running as fast as he could to the company office. There, he learnt Arny had flown in fog and over the sea, for more than four hours.
Thanks to Arny, people sent help to the ship.

Passage 3
(25-26八上·四川南充白塔中学·期中)Once upon a time, there were four brothers.
“I can see farther than anyone,” the first brother said. “At the top of that tree, there are five eggs in a nest.”
“I am faster than all of you—I move as quickly as a cat,” said the second brother. He climbed up, took the eggs quietly, and then put them back. The bird never noticed it.
“I can shoot better than all of you,” said the third. He then shot a leaf above the nest.
The fourth brother said, “I can sew (缝补) anything together, even something as soft as that leaf.” In no time, the leaf was as good as new.
Not long after, the king’s daughter was taken away by a dragon. The king said whoever brought the princess (公主) back could marry (娶) her.
The first brother said, “I see her! She is far away, on a rock at sea, with the dragon.” So the brothers sailed to the rock.
The third brother said, “I may hurt the princess if I shoot the dragon.”
“Leave it to me,” said the second brother. He moved as quietly as a mouse and quickly freed the princess.
Suddenly, the dragon began to chase (追赶) them. The third brother shot it, but its fall broke their ship. Luckily, the fourth brother took his needle and sewed the ship together. Then they sailed home safely.
The happy king asked, “Which of you will marry my daughter?” The brothers began to argue (争吵). Each brother believed that he did more than the others. Finally, the king said, “Each of you is as good as the others, but you are much stronger together. Instead, I give half of my kingdom to you as a reward.” The brothers were pleased. It was much better to share than to fight.

(25-26八上·四川内江威远中学·期中)The Big Bear had a large and rich field (田地), but he did not grow anything on it and just walked around every day.
One day, the Rabbit wanted to borrow the land to grow food for his family. The Big Bear agreed, but he wanted half of the harvest (收成) without doing any hard work. The Rabbit thought for a while and replied. “Okay! I will give you the top half.”
After returning home, the Rabbit took his family to work hard in the field. When the harvest day came, the Big Bear happily came. To his surprise, the Rabbit planted potatoes. Because the top half were only leaves, the Big Bear couldn’t even get a potato.

This time, the Big Bear again got nothing because the Rabbit planted wheat. The half below couldn’t be eaten.
The Big Bear was so angry that he said, “If you don’t give me the top half and the half below the land next time, I will never lend you the land again.”
The Rabbit said, “If so, can you leave the middle part to me?” The Big Bear thought there was nothing in the middle, so he agreed.
However, when he found out that the Rabbit was planting corn, he left sadly. “I always wanted to take advantage of (占便宜) the Rabbit. But I still get nothing this time. I need to change myself.”
Later one morning, the Big Bear opened the door and found a large basket of corn at the door with a note. It read, “Mr. Big Bear, this gift is for you. Thank you for lending us the land so that we can fill our stomachs.— Yours, Rabbit.”

(25-26八上·四川成都青羊区石室联合中学·期中)
Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的). Recently, a group of Americans who taught English in other countries shared their experiences. They realized that misunderstanding happened in their daily life quite often, even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”.
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific (太平洋), Lisa thought people didn’t notice her. It was a hot day. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks?” The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa asked again. Still, the woman said nothing. Later, Lisa learned the woman had answered her-she raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which means “yes” in Micronesia.
Jenny remembered her experience in Bulgaria, a European country. She went to a restaurant famous for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?” He nodded his head. Jenny waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no”.
Tom had a parallel problem when he was in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the heads. He thought some didn’t understand, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same. He soon found out that his students did understand.

主题语境04 人与自我-家庭、朋友与周围的人
(25-26八上·四川泸州泸县四中学区·期中)Maggie and Samantha are twin sisters. Sometimes many students have a hard time telling which is which. They have blonde hair, just like their dad does. They have green eyes, just like their mum does. They are around the same height too.
Every workday morning they take the yellow school bus and sit together. They have a lot in common. Both girls enjoy the same TV shows. Both girls spend a lot of time together with their family, and they both like to play with their dog, Callie.
But they are also very different. Maggie likes to play sports. Every Wednesday and Friday afternoon, she goes to the football club. Samantha doesn’t really like sports, but she likes to dance. When Maggie practises football in the club, she goes to the dancing lessons.
