That Made a Difference to Me
Last year, I had a really hard time learning English. I couldn’t remember new words and often felt very upset. One day, my English teacher, Mr Li, noticed my problem. He came up to me and said, “Don’t worry. Learning a language takes time. Why don’t you try making flashcards to help you remember the words?” I followed his advice and started making flashcards. To my surprise, it really worked! I began to remember more words and my grades improved.
This experience taught me that asking for help is not a weakness. It also showed me that sometimes, a small change can make a big difference. Now, I am not afraid to ask for help when I need it, and I have become more confident in my studies.

He decided to 5 this practical learning way. He looked for small 6 to learn more: visiting the city’s museum, reading picture books about their lives, and even 7 old pictures to copy the clothes and art of that time. He used a special notebook to 8 his notes, small drawings, and stories about the person’s daily life.
After weeks of careful work, his book won the class’s “Most Creative” award. Tony no longer saw history as a boring task and even became 9 in learning about the lives of other people from history. His teacher praised his clear 10 and creative ideas, saying this way was smart and 11 for remembering things well.
This experience taught him a key lesson: smart learning means 12 textbook knowledge with creative work. If we turn dry facts into things we can draw, make, and 13 , we will not only remember better but also find learning much more enjoyable. He now believes that anyone can 14 in any subject if they use such practical, creative methods, and he is sure that learning is a lifelong journey instead of a quick task. He also thinks that true 15 comes from small, regular efforts.

2、 阅读理解
阅读下面两篇材料,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
It’s believed that hard work was the same as being clever. At the start of Grade Nine, I spent a whole weekend copying every maths problem from the exercise book three times. My hand hurt, but I felt satisfied. However, the low score on Monday’s test made me very sad. I wondered why my “hard work” didn’t work and felt really confused.
A big change came in Wednesday’s English class. Instead of explaining the text directly, Ms Li showed us a short video about a sea park. The beautiful pictures soon caught our attention. Then we worked in groups to discuss the animals’ problems and gave protection advice in English. We used dictionaries and drew pictures to express our ideas. To my surprise, I remembered all the difficult words easily when I reported our plan. This relaxing way of learning was great.
Suddenly I realised that I only copied knowledge in a boring way before. Real learning needs understanding and using knowledge. It is like playing with building blocks — we should know how each part works instead of copying without thinking. I decided to change my study habits. I did simple small tests at home to understand physics rules. When learning Chinese texts, I tried to imagine the stories and the writers’ feelings. Learning became active and interesting instead of a tiring task.
Slowly, my notes were full of mind maps and my own questions instead of empty copies. When facing difficult problems, I no longer felt worried. I learned to think and solve them step by step. My grades improved a lot in the final exams. More importantly, my mum said I looked much brighter when studying.
This experience taught me that learning smart is more important than working hard. It’s not about the time you spend, but whether you activate your mind and connect with knowledge. True learning is building our own understanding when we think actively.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing classrooms in cool ways! Think of AI tools like homework helpers. Need tips on an English report? AI can spot grammar mistakes and suggest better words, almost like a patient writing coach. Stuck on maths problems? Apps like Photomath scan problems and break them into easy steps with colourful cartoons. Some apps even act like detectives — they find your weak spots, like fractions(分数) or verb tenses, then create practice just for you.
AI is a great helper, but students should use it wisely. Using DeepSeek or ChatGPT to write a whole book report saves time, but your brain won’t grow muscles! That’s why schools have “AI-free times” — like writing first drafts by hand or solving maths problems without apps first. An eighth grader named Liam explains, “I try solving homework myself now, and then use AI to check. It’s like having a tutor(家庭教师) who never gets tired and always smiles!”
AI also makes lessons super fun. Virtual reality (VR) labs let you “mix” chemicals safely or “dissect” frogs without the sick factor. Want to chat with historical heroes? Ask Marie Curie about experiments or Shakespeare why Romeo loved Juliet! But there’s a golden rule: Never copy AI answers without learning. Teachers can spot “robot writing” with special tools, like a superhero spotting hidden clues. Always try your best first — AI works better when you team up with it!
In the future, AI might create custom learning plans for everyone. Love videos? Get more mini-movie lessons. Prefer hands-on projects? Try building robots or 3D models. As tech expert Dr Lee says, “AI won’t replace students — but kids who use it like a smart friend will learn more!” By mixing modern tech with old-school effort, middle school students can become super learners while having fun. Who knows? Tomorrow’s science fair winners might be AI-powered inventors!
( )6. How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage in Paragraph 1?
A. By showing the background.
B. By telling stories.
C. By listing numbers.
D. By giving examples.
( )7. What can we know from Liam’s words in Paragraph 2?
A. AI can replace students to finish homework completely.
B. AI can be used to help check homework.
C. AI-free times are useless for students’ study.
D. AI tutors are better than human teachers.
( )8. How does AI make lessons super fun?
A. Students can copy AI answers directly.
B. Teachers can create AI Marie Curie .
C. Students can see Romeo and Juliet in person.
D. Teachers can spot “robot writing”.
( )9. Which is the advantage of AI mentioned in the passage?

Rewinding(倒带) to a year ago, Arman became 1 interested in Chinese culture after watching a thrilling kung fu movie. The beautiful language and rich history fascinated him, so he started learning 2 phrases online. Soon, he decided to 3 the annual Chinese competition at school, hoping to challenge himself. But the path wasn’t easy. At first, he wasn’t chosen for the school team because his 4 was weak. However, he didn’t give up. He believed in himself and 5 every day after classes, repeating words until they sounded perfect.

4、 综合填空
阅读下面短文,根据上下文或括号内单词等提示,在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Maths was once my biggest challenge. I found the numbers and rules not only boring but also difficult to 1 (true) understand. Every homework session became a source of stress, making me feel more and more 2 (worry) as I just copied steps from the textbook without thinking carefully. It was no surprise 3 my test scores remained low, clearly showing my struggle and lack of real learning.
A simple talk with my kind maths teacher finally changed my path. “Don’t just do the problems quickly,” she advised gently. “Please slow down and try to understand the ‘why’ behind each step.” Her most 4 (use) suggestion was to look for maths in my everyday life. Following her advice, I 5 (start) to actively work out real things around me. I would calculate the right prices during supermarket trips, measure things when helping my mum cook, and even work out the time and speed of my bicycle ride to school.
I soon realised I couldn’t make this change all by 6 (I). Encouraged, I formed a small good study group with two close 7 (friend) who also wanted to get better. We agreed to meet every week. Our meetings weren’t about sitting together in silence; we actively shared problems, helped each other, and asked questions.
Slowly but surely, my study became better, 8 my grades began to improve. This whole journey and experience taught me the real 9 (mean) of smart learning: It’s not about studying for longer hours. It’s 10 making knowledge connect to life, thinking carefully, and sharing with others. Maths is no longer a scary challenge; it has become a useful tool I am glad to learn, and I no longer see it as a big difficulty in my study.
