My name is Zhang Wei, and I am 14 years old. I study at No. 8 Middle School in Hefei, a warm city in the east of China. I am a quiet boy, but I have many hobbies. I like drawing animals in my notebook, and I also enjoy playing basketball with my classmates after school. My best friend is Li Ming. We became friends in Grade Seven. He is tall and funny, and he often makes me laugh when I feel sad. In our free time, we read storybooks together and talk about our dreams. I think a good friend should be honest, kind and helpful. My favourite subject is art. My art teacher, Ms Liu, says everyone is special in their own way. I hope to be an artist one day, because I want to show the beauty of life through pictures. I also keep a small diary, and I write three or four times a week. On weekends, I often play basketball with my father in the park near our home, and we always have a good time together. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon, and I hope we can learn more about each other. Best wishes, Zhang Wei 1. Who is Zhang Wei's best friend? ________________________________________ 2.

Do you feel nervous on your first day at a new school? You are not alone. The Buddy（伙伴）Club is here to help. Our club started three years ago. Every new student will get a "buddy" — an older student who knows the school well. Your buddy will show you the dining hall, the library and the playground. You can also ask them about homework, teachers and after-school activities. Last term, we helped more than one hundred new students. Xiao Yu, a Grade Eight girl, joined us last September. She was shy at first, but her buddy helped her make new friends. Now she is in the school music group, and she even plays the guitar in our school show. "I was afraid to speak, but my buddy walked with me every step," she says. "A good buddy is like a warm coat on a cold day," says our teacher, Miss Chen. We meet every Wednesday afternoon in Room 302. If you need help, just come and find us. We are always happy to make a new friend. Next month, we will hold a party for all the old and new buddies, and games and snacks will be ready for everyone. 1. When did the Buddy Club start? ________________________________________ 2.

They want to be tall, beautiful or top of the class. I used to be like that, too. When I was younger, I hated my short hair. I thought girls should have long hair. I also felt sad when my deskmate got better marks than me. I tried to copy her way of studying, but it did not work. One day, my mother said to me, "The world is big enough for all kinds of flowers. A rose is beautiful, and so is a small grass." Her words changed me. I started to accept myself. I practise drawing every day, and my pictures slowly got better. Last month, one of my paintings won a prize in a school show. When my name was called, I did not compare myself with anyone else. I just felt proud. Now I know that being yourself is the best feeling in the world. Everyone has their own strengths（长处）. Maybe you are good at sports, music, or making friends. Do not spend too much time comparing yourself with others. Believe in yourself, and you will shine in your own way. The world needs your colour, not someone else's. 1.

It is called the Kindness Wall, and it sits outside the school library. The idea came from Grade Eight student Lin Na. Last term, she felt lonely after moving to a new city. She wished someone would say something nice to her. Then she had an idea: why not put up a wall where everyone could leave kind notes? She told her teacher about it at once, and the teacher smiled and nodded. Her teacher liked the idea, and students painted a big board together. On the first day, more than fifty notes were on the wall. Notes say things like "Your smile is warm" and "Thank you for helping me with maths." Some notes are from teachers, too. A maths teacher wrote, "Mistakes are just steps to a better you." Now the Kindness Wall has become the most popular corner of the school. Students even read the notes aloud at class meetings. Lin Na says she never expected such a warm response（回应）. "Small words can make a big difference," she says. The school plans to put up two more walls this term, one near the dining hall and one near the playground. 1. Who had the idea of the Kindness Wall? ________________________________________ 2. Where is the Kindness Wall? ________________________________________ 3. How many notes were on the wall on the first day? ________________________________________ 4. Why did Lin Na want to build the Kindness Wall? ________________________________________ 5. 翻译文中划线句子。 ________________________________________ 二、提升篇 Passage 5 Dear Jin Mei, Thank you for your letter. I know you feel afraid of giving a talk in front of the class, and you think you are not good enough. I want to tell you my own story, because I was once just like you. In Grade Seven, I always sat in the last row and never put up my hand. When the teacher asked a question, my heart beat fast and I looked down at my desk. I was afraid of making mistakes, and I doubted myself all the time. Everything changed when our school held an English speech contest（比赛）. My deskmate signed me up（报名）without telling me. I was angry at first, but I had to prepare. I practised in front of a mirror for two weeks. On the big day, my legs shook, but I finished the speech. I did not win, but my teacher said, "You were braver than you thought." That day I learned that fear is not the enemy; it is just a sign that we care. Now I am not afraid of mistakes any more. Small steps make us grow. Believe in yourself, and you will find your voice. Next term, I am going to join the school drama club and share my story with more students. Yours, Su Fang 1. Where did Su Fang sit in Grade Seven? ________________________________________ 2. Who signed Su Fang up for the speech contest? ________________________________________ 3. 信息归纳：What does Su Fang mean by "fear is not the enemy"? ________________________________________ 4. 翻译文中划线句子。 ________________________________________ 5. 开放表达：What will you do when you feel afraid?（10—20词） ________________________________________ ________________________________________ Passage 6 These days, many students compare themselves with classmates, online stars or even film stars. "Why is she prettier than me?" "Why is he better at maths?" Such questions fill our minds every day. Some people say comparison pushes us to work harder. But in my opinion, too much comparison makes us feel small. When I compare my drawings with my friend's, I often feel sad. I forget that we are good at different things. A doctor once said that happy people do not focus（关注）on what they lack（缺乏）. They focus on what they have. If you are kind, that is your gift. If you are a good listener, that is your gift, too. Last month, our class did a "strengths circle". Each student said one good thing about another classmate. I was moved when my friends said they liked my smile and my stories. That evening, I wrote down three things I was good at, and I stuck the note on my desk. It reminds me to be kind to myself. Comparing ourselves with others is like looking in a broken mirror — we never see the real picture. Instead of asking "Why not me?", ask "What can I do today?" Grow at your own speed, and your time will come. 1. What do happy people focus on, according to the doctor? ________________________________________ 2. What did the students do in the "strengths circle"? ________________________________________ 3. 信息归纳：What is the writer's opinion on too much comparison? ________________________________________ 4. 翻译文中划线句子。 ________________________________________ 5. 开放表达：What is one of your strengths?（10—20词） ________________________________________ ________________________________________ Passage 7 Fifteen-year-old Chen Lu is a young volunteer（志愿者）in her city. Last year, she started a book-sharing corner at the bus station near her home. It all began when she waited for her mother at the station one Saturday. She saw many people sitting quietly, looking at their phones. "Why not give them something interesting to read?" she thought. She put ten of her own books in a used box and wrote a sign: "Take a book, leave a book." At first, only a few people noticed the box. Her classmates laughed and said it was a silly idea. But Chen Lu did not give up. She cleaned the box every week and added new books. Now more than two hundred books travel through the corner every month. Workers, students and even grandparents stop to read. Chen Lu says the corner taught her that small acts of kindness can grow into something big. Last month, she won the Young Volunteer Award（奖项）of the city. "I just did what I could," she said with a smile. Her next plan is to set up three more corners at other stations, and she hopes more young people will join her and share the joy of reading. 1. Where did Chen Lu start the book-sharing corner? ________________________________________ 2. What did the sign on the box say? ________________________________________ 3. 信息归纳：Why did Chen Lu want to start the corner? ________________________________________ 4. 翻译文中划线句子。 ________________________________________ 5. 开放表达：What small kind thing can you do for others?（10—20词） ________________________________________ ________________________________________ Passage 8 A special pen-friend programme（项目）is bringing middle school students in China and Britain closer together. The programme started in 2024. So far, more than five hundred Chinese students and four hundred British students have joined. Each Chinese student writes letters to a British partner, and they exchange ideas about school life, hobbies and festivals. Lin Xiao, a Grade Nine student from Hefei, writes to Emma, a girl from London. In their letters, Emma describes the rainy weather and her love for football. Lin Xiao tells her about Spring Festival and her strawberry-shaped birthmark. "We laugh at the same jokes," Lin Xiao says. "Distance does not matter when hearts are close." Emma has even learned to make jiaozi from Lin Xiao's letter. Teachers say the programme does more than improve English. It builds friendship and opens young minds. Students learn that people in different countries share the same feelings — joy, friendship and dreams. "A letter is a bridge between two hearts and two cultures（文化）," says the programme director（负责人）. This term, the programme will add video calls between partner schools. Students cannot wait to see their friends on the screen. They have prepared dance shows and paper-cuts for the first online meeting. 1. How many British students have joined the programme so far? ________________________________________ 2. What Chinese festival does Lin Xiao tell Emma about? ________________________________________ 3. 信息归纳：What does the programme do besides improving students' English? ________________________________________ 4. 翻译文中划线句子。 ________________________________________ 5. 开放表达：Would you like a pen friend from another country?
