“I can’t believe this is happening,” I thought as I saw Jane walk into the restaurant. She hadn’t changed at all. She was still tall and beautiful with blond hair and bright green eyes.

I smiled and thought of how my life had changed since we had last

met.

It all started when I noticed her at a party in a friend’s house many years ago. I followed her to the dining-room and started talking to her about the food. “You seem very interested in food,” S he laughed. “Well, I’m a great cook,” I told her. It was a lie, but I had to find an excuse to see her again. “May I cook for you sometime?”

Two days later, Jane came to my house for dinner. However, it was very embarrassing I ordered the food from a nearby restaurant, but I told her that I had cooked it. After dinner, she offered to wash up and found the delivery boxes in the kitchen. She laughed at me and I felt awful. Angry with myself, I decided to learn how to cook.

I never saw Jane after our terrible dinner date（约会）. I started a cookery course and found that I was good at it after all. I went on to train to be a great cook. I worked hard and later I was able to open my own restaurant.

The Sun gives us light and sun. We can’t live without the Sun. The Sun is at the centre of the solar system. Its gravity holds all the planets in place.

The Sun is the biggest object in the solar system. Do you know how big it is? Well, use your head and imagine. ①Its diameter （直径） is about 109 times as big as the Earth’s. You could fill with over A MILLION Earths inside the Sun.

Scientists think that the Sun( and the planets) formed the solar nebula about 4.59 billion years ago, so it’s pretty old!

The Sun gives out too much heat. It is a planet with high temperature. Its temperature is 5,500 degrees Celsius on the

surface and 15.6 million degrees Celsius at the core. The temperature of the Sun isn’t the same all over. In some places where “ sun spots’ occur, it isn’t as hot as elsewhere.

It’s made almost entirely of hydrogen, with a little helium and a few heavier gases including oxygen. And there’s even some iron there too.

Light from the Sun reaches the Earth in just 8 minutes!

②Remember not to look directly at the Sun. You could seriously damage your eyes.

If you have a pet, like many people, you care for it as if it was your child. Meeting its needs and wants is an important part of your life, because you want it to be happy. However, there is one thing that it needs but cannot tell you about: that is music. There are a few reasons why your pet should listen to music.

Many pet owners play some music for their pets, because this can help their pets to feel better when they are at work. Most people are out throughout the day, and leave their pets alone at home. To make their pets feel comfortable and safe, they try playing some music before they leave the house. This works on all pets and makes even the most relaxed pet more comfortable to be alone at home.

You might have to change the music to see what kind of music is best for your pet. If you want to calm your pet down, you will need to play soft music instead of hard rock or hip-hop music, which might make your pet excited.

Also, you need to know that different pets respond differently to music. Hard rock music has also been found to work well to calm

some pets down. And piano music works well on most pets, but it works best on cats.

阅读短文，回答下面问题

48. Why do you need to meet your pet’s needs and wants?

music or rock music?

八年级英语阅读竞赛试卷

八年级英语阅读竞赛试卷 Name:__________ Class:___________ A Sociologists(社会学家), working in western countries, have found that a large number of women wished they had been born men. The number is said to be as high as 60% in Germany. “Women often wish they had the same chances as men have, and think it is still men’s world.” Said Dr. James Helen, one of the sociologists who did the study. Many men say that they have more duties than women. A man has to make money to support(养活) his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for men to be paid more. Some are even against their wives working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children cannot be taken good care of. If women take full-time jobs, they won’t be able to do what they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up the children. Some women disagree. They say they want to get out of their homes and to have freedom to choose between work and home life. Women have the right of equal pay and equal chances. Anne Harper has a very good job. She also believes in “Women’s Liberation”. “I don’t wish I were a man,” she says, “and I don’t think many women do. But I do wish people would stop treating us like second-class people. At work, for example, we usually do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs only to men usually they are the best ones.
