Last Saturday,Lily's family decided to relax at home.Lily was really unhappy because she
didn't like staying at home at weekends.
"I really want to go to the beach,"Lily said sadly."I want to make sandcastles (and
swim in the sea."
Lily's mom sat down beside her and gave her a hug."Let's make this home holiday just as
special!How about starting by cleaning together?After that,we can cook together,her mom
said.
As they worked,Lily cleaned the floor and said,"This isn't as fun as traveling.It is so
boring."
Her little brother Tom,who was cleaning the windows,said happily,"But we can decorate
the living room after cleaning!Let's put up balloons to make it more beautiful!"
Their dad nodded,"Good idea!And then we'll make dumplings together."
When it was time to cook,Lily was still a little sad.She learned to make dumplings from her
mother."Mom,my dumplings look ugly!"Lily said.
Her mom laughed."Just pinch (the dumpling like this.Practice makes perfect."
Tom was making fruit salad with Dad.He showed it to Lily."Look!I added many
strawberries.I know you like eating strawberries,"he said excitedly.
That evening,sitting around the table,Lily's family really had a great time together.After
dinner,they took a walk around the lake near their house.Lily thought it was a great holiday
after all.

DMost of us spend around 50-60 hours sleeping every week.That's a lot of time for dirt,sweat
and skin cells(污垢、汗水和皮肤细胞)to build up on our sheets(床单)!Without regular cleaning,
the dirt can affect our health.So it's very important to keep our sheets clean
八年级英语试题卷第3页共8页
2But how often should we wash our sheets?According to the Sleep Foundation,once a week
is best.If you don't use your bed every day,you can wash the sheets every two weeks.But some
people should wash their sheets even more often.
3If you have a pet,you should wash the sheets every three to four days.Pets leave fur and dirt
behind.If you have asthma or allergies(哮喘或过敏症),you may also find it helpful to wash your
sheets more often.
④There's another reason to wash your sheets:dust mites(尘螨)!These tiny bugs(小虫子)
live on beds.They are so small that you can't see them.But they love eating dead skin cells.A bed
can have up to 10 million of them!It sounds terrible,but it's true.
5These bugs are hard to kill,but washing your sheets helps.When you wash your sheets,you
wash away their food and many of the bugs,too.This results in fewer dust mites and a cleaner
bed.
6So remember,washing your sheets once a week is a smart and healthy habit.It helps you sleep
better and keeps your bed fresh and clean!
23.Why does the writer talk about how many hours people sleep every week?
A.To tell us a bad sleeping habit.
B.To encourage us to sleep less.
C.To explain why sheets get dirty over time.D.To ask us to keep healthy by sleeping enough.
24.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.Pets shouldn't sleep with their owners.
B.Pet owners should wash their sheets more often.
C.Pets often make people have asthma or allergies.
D.People with asthma or allergies shouldn't keep pets
25.What does the underlined word "terrible"in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Bad.
B.Fresh.
C.Magical.
D.Colourful.
26.Which of the following shows the structure of the text?
A.①②③/④/⑤⑥」
B.①②/③④⑤/⑥.
C.①/②③④/⑤⑥
D.①/②③/④⑤/⑥
D
Have you ever thrown a chessboard when things don't go your way Have you ever angrily
walked off the football field when your team loses Whether it's a chess game or a football
match,no one wins every time.We should learn to accept losing.
In fact,many people think that losing can be good for us.For example,Robert Sternberg
has found that losing helps you think about what went wrong.If you lose a chess game,you can
work out what you need to do differently to win next time.Deborah Cabaniss adds that if you
don't accept that someone else has won,things will become worse.She explains that accepting
loss positively helps you move on and makes you feel peaceful inside.
But how can you be a good loser First,practise with small unhappy moments.For
example,the teacher does not ask you to answer the questions when you put up your hand in
class.This will help you face difficult feelings bravely when bigger challenges come your way.
Also,preparing what to say helps.So when someone beats you at a computer game,try saying
'Well done"and see how that makes you feel.You will realize how strong you really are.Last but
八年级英语试题卷第4页共8页
not least,learn from each loss to improve.If your team loses a match,think about what went
wrong and make a plan to practice those skills.
Remember:every loss is a step toward becoming a better and stronger person.So let's learn
to accept losing.
27.How does the writer lead in the topic in Paragraph 1?
A.By telling stories.
B.By listing numbers.
C By asking questions.
D.By sharing experiences.
28.Which of the following is Deborah Cabaniss's opinion?
A.It's difficult to accept losing at once.B.Losing a game can help you improve.
C.Accepting losing can make you think.D.Refusing to accept losing makes things worse.
29.How many suggestions are there on how to be a good loser?
A.Two.
B.Three.
C.Four.
D.Five.
30.According to the passage,who could accept losing?
A.Linda wanted to prove she should be the winner.
B.David shouted"Nobody cares!"and walked away
C.Jack said congratulations but refused the next game.
D Sarah saw other players'skills and decided to improve.

How time flies!Now I have already been a student of Grade 8.There have been
many changes in me,and I'm eager to share them.
In terms of personality,although I used to be extremely shy,now I'm full of
confidence.Also,I've grown taller and stronger physically.My interests now cover
reading and sports.Reading broadens my horizons and makes me
more knowledgeable.Meanwhile,sports not only keep me in good shape but also
have given me with the strength and confidence to face challenges.As for learning
habits,I have started to make detailed study plans and review diligently.Moreover,I
have also begun to help my parents with some housework.
These changes are a sign of my growth.As the textbook says,"Nothing is
impossible as long as you try and stick to it.I firmly believe I will become a better
person if I keep working hard.
