外研版（2026）八年级上册 Unit2 Getting along Unit2 高分重点练·阅读表达 基础4篇 + 提升4篇 姓名：____________　　班级：____________　　得分：____________ 一、基础篇 Passage 1 Dear Xiao Yu, Thanks for writing. In your letter, you asked how to make new friends in middle school. Here are some ideas of mine. I hope they will help you. First, be friendly. A smile is the easiest way to start. When you meet someone new, look at their eyes and say hello. Do not wait for others to speak first. A warm "good morning" can make a whole day bright. Second, share things. You can share your pens, snacks or storybooks. When you share, people feel you are kind. My best friend and I became close after I lent her my notebook. We even shared lunch every day that week. Third, join a club. You like drawing, right? Our class art club meets every Wednesday. We draw pictures together, and we talk about our favourite cartoon stars. You can also share your pictures on the class wall. I hope these ideas work for you. Do not be shy, and a new friend will come soon. Remember, friendship starts with a small step. Take it, and you will never walk alone again. Your classmates are just as happy to meet you as you are to meet them. Yours, Mei Ling 1.

It is called the Friendship Bench. The idea came from Grade Eight student Zhang Hao. Last year, he sat alone at lunchtime for weeks. He wished someone would come and talk to him. Then he had an idea: why not put up a bench where lonely students can sit? He wrote the idea on a piece of paper and gave it to his teacher. His teacher liked the idea. Students painted the bench blue and wrote "Come and sit with me" on it. Now, any student who feels lonely can sit there. Others are welcome to join them. The bench stands under a big apple tree near the school gate. Last month, more than twenty students made new friends on the bench. Some of them still sit there together every lunchtime. They share snacks and homework when they sit side by side. "The bench is like a bridge between quiet hearts," says Zhang Hao. This term, the school plans to put up two more benches near the playground. They will be painted green and yellow. Students cannot wait to sit on them. Some old students even go there to read books at lunchtime. 1. What is the bench in the school garden called? ________________________________________ 2.

She took my favourite pen without asking, and I shouted at her in class. We did not talk for three days. I felt sad, but I was too proud to say sorry first. That weekend was very quiet for me. Then she wrote "sorry" on a small note and left it on my desk. I felt warm, but I was still angry. My mother said, "A true friend says sorry first, and a wise friend says thank you." Her words made me think deeply. The next day, I said thank you to her. We talked about the quarrel quietly after class. We both learned a lesson: speak your feelings, but never hurt others. We also promised to ask before taking things. Now we are close again. We share snacks and walk home together. Sometimes we even study for tests at her house. I think forgiveness（原谅）is the key to a long friendship. When a friend says sorry, give them a smile, not a cold face. No friendship is easy all the time, but good friends grow stronger after a quarrel. Love and patience make the best friendships. I will keep this lesson in my heart forever. 1.

The activity helps students solve quarrels in a friendly way. It was held in every classroom and playground. Every class chose a peace monitor for the week. During the week, each class had a "peace corner". Students could write their problems on cards. Older students read the cards and gave advice. They also put up posters with nice words. Two Grade Seven boys once fought over a basketball. They did not speak for two weeks. During Peace Week, they sat in the peace corner and talked with a teacher. They said sorry to each other and started to play basketball again. Now they are on the same school team. "Small quarrels can break a friendship, but kind words can fix it," said their teacher, Miss Wang. The school says Peace Week will become an annual event. Over three hundred students joined the activity this year. Teachers also taught students how to listen first and speak softly. Many parents said they would try the ideas at home too. The head teacher hopes every class can be a peaceful family, where no one feels lonely. Small kindness can change a whole school. 1.

We moved to a new town last month, and everything here is new to me. I miss my old friends very much. The buildings are taller, and the streets are busier. The food here tastes quite different, too. At first, I felt afraid to talk to my new classmates. I sat quietly at lunchtime. My eyes often filled with tears. But last Monday, a girl sat next to me and shared her biscuits. Her name is Su Lan. Su Lan is lively and warm. She showed me around the school and introduced me to her friends. Now we have lunch together every day. She also helps me with my maths homework, and I help her with Chinese. We both love drawing cats in our notebooks. Slowly, I feel like part of the class again. I learned that starting a new friendship is never too hard. A smile and a kind word are enough. Please come and visit us when you are free. The town has a beautiful lake, and I want to walk around it with you. We can also eat ice cream by the lake together. I am sending you a photo of my new friend, Su Lan. Love, Xiao Man 1.

They enjoy parties, group chats and big dinner tables. They feel happy when the room is full of people. Others think that a few close friends are enough. Both ways can bring happiness. In my opinion, quality matters more than quantity. I have three close friends, and we share everything — our secrets, our worries and our dreams. We have known each other since primary school. A close friend knows when you are sad, even if you smile. They stay with you when you are in trouble. They do not leave you alone. They remember your birthday and your favourite food. They also know when you need a quiet moment. Of course, it is good to be friendly to everyone. But true friendship needs time and care. You cannot be a close friend to everyone at once. A close friend is like a warm coat on a cold day — you may have only one, but it keeps you warm all winter. So I choose a few close friends, and I value them more than anything. They are my treasures, and I will keep them for life. When we grow up, we will still remember each other. 1.

The idea turned into a warm school event. It was held in every grade. Students from Grade Seven to Grade Nine all took part. Last term, Lin Hao saw two good friends fight over a small thing. They stopped talking, and both felt sad. "Quarrels hurt more than we think," he said. So he wrote a plan for his head teacher. The teacher agreed at once. During No Quarrel Week, students put up posters with messages like "Speak softly" and "Listen first". Each class held a discussion on how to say sorry. Some students even wrote apology letters（道歉信）to old friends. The school hall was covered with these colourful posters. The result surprised everyone. Over eighty students said they had made up with a friend during the week. "A kind word can fix what angry words broke," said Lin Hao with a big smile. The school will hold No Quarrel Week twice a year from now on. Students are already looking forward to the next one. Lin Hao hopes his idea will bring more smiles to the school. He also plans to write a book about his experience one day. 1. How old is Lin Hao? ________________________________________ 2.

It started with just two classes, but now it is growing fast. The programme started last year. Each Chinese student writes letters to a British partner. They talk about school life, hobbies, festivals and family. So far, more than three hundred students have joined. The letters are often full of drawings and stickers. Chen Jia, a Grade Eight girl from Hefei, writes to Emma, a girl from London. Emma tells her about the rainy weather and her cute cat. Chen Jia tells Emma about Spring Festival and her love for drawing. They also share their favourite songs and drawings in every letter. Teachers say the programme does more than improve English. It builds true friendship across countries. Students learn that young people everywhere share the same feelings — joy, friendship and dreams. "A letter is a small bridge between two hearts, even when they are far apart," says the programme teacher. This term, students will also have video meetings. They cannot wait to see their friends on the screen. Some students have prepared dance shows and paper-cuts for the first online meeting. They hope the friendship will grow stronger through every letter. 1. How many students have joined the programme so far? ________________________________________ 2.
