牛津译林版八年级上册英语期中复习：任务型阅读练习题精选We all know that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure (珍惜) every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.There is an old English saying: “Gain time, gain life.”Then what’s time? Time is something that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeably. We always say “Time is money”, but time is even more precious (珍贵的) than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone, it will never return (回来). So, some of us even say time is priceless.We should always remember: future is now. For us students, we should work hard in order to make our own future better. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do what we can to do everything as well as possible. And never put off what we can do today till tomorrow.As we all know, “Time and tide wait for no man.”If you waste today, you will regret (后悔) tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter. Remember: “No pains, no gains.”Today’s hard work is the cause(原因) of tomorrow’s harvest.Title: Future and 11. ___Today / Present___2. __useful_3. __Time___4. __come___5. __best__DIY means making or creating things on your own, with your own hands. It may take much time, but some people, now known as DIYers —do-it-yourselfers, enjoy doing it very much. They are interested in it because it is fun. And they also say it helps them save money, too. What’s more, they think it is a good way to protect the environment. It is a kind of green life. In fact, DIY is not a modern thing in China. Many people remember when it was once a way of life in the past. During the 1960s and 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things. If you wanted something, you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something, you made it yourself.Times have changed and DIY also has different meanings.。

The survey shows if people want to live longer and more happily, you need to have some friends who can share your sadness and happiness or can be helpful when you are in trouble.The following friends are just what you need to keep the doctor away.A Loyal Best FriendEveryone needs a friend who will support you in different situations. This kind of friend knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same.A Friendly NeighborThese days, a lot of people don’t know their own neighbours. It’s a s hame, because some neighbors can be the most helpful people. If you forget to lock the front door when you are on holiday, you can call your neighbors to lock it for you. So it’s wonderful to have nice and helpful neighbors.A WorkmateYou’ll find it much easier to chat with someone than eating lunch along every day. Your workmate doesn’t have to be your best friend. If you two get along with each other, you can always start going out with them outside of the office.A Friend from a Different CultureIf everyone has a friend from a different culture, the world would be much better. Remember that don’t be friends with someone just because they are from a different culture.

It reminds people not to wastefood and fight hunger.A number of people in the world still don’t have enough food to eat. The food shortage(短缺) is a big problem all over the world. Now, there are more than 1000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die of hunger each year.There are several reasons for food shortage. First, there are more natural disasters. Also, a growing population(人口) makes feeding everyone more difficult.Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. The average(平均的) person throws away 50kg of food every year. According to the UN, more than one third of all food goes to waste each year.Over 1,300 billion kilograms of food is wasted each year. The food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, while in Latin America 300 million a year.So think twice before you throw away food. You’d better order as much food as you can eat at a restaurant. If you can’t eat all, take the rest home. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much. Don’t cook too much.When you throw away food, you are not just wasting the food itself. Resources(资源), such as energy, time and water, are also wasted while growing and cooking. So everyone should know that it is important to save food. Saving food is saving ourselves.Title: Introduction to World Food DayThe UN’s purpose(目的) to start this dayTo remind people not to 56 food and fight hunger.Facts of food shortage ◆57 1,000 million people are hungry each year.◆15 million children 58 their lives because of hunger each year.◆There are more 60 disasters now.◆The number of people is becoming 61 .59 for foodshortage◆The problem of food waste is serious all over the world.62 to stop food waste ◆63 order more than you can eat at a restaurant.◆Take the rest of food home if you can’t eat all you’ve ordered.◆Be sure not to 64 more food at home than you need.Conclusion Everyone should know the 65 of saving food.56. waste 57.

They are in Yancheng，Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve（自然保护区）is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes (丹顶鹤) in the world，but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine，too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also stop flood(洪水). But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.( )1. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are in the _______ of China.A. eastB. southC. westD. north( )2.

However, we haven't found life on other planets yet.The Earth is a planet and it goes around the Sun. Seven other planets also go around the Sun. None of them has an environment with air, so people and things cannot grow. The Sun and its planets are called the solar system(太阳系). The solar system is a small part of our galaxy(星系).Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. But they are a long way away because their light has travelled for many years to reach us.

It seems this may be a little difficult. But students from Xi’an did it.On April 10, more than 60 students from the Middle School Attached to Northwestern Poly technical University took part in the One Yuan Metropolis Survival. The charitable organization for teenagers called Imperceptible Education held this activity. Students not only have to live, but they also have to deal with a lot of hard tasks. It has happened in eight cities and is going to four others, including Beijing, in June.To make money, many students looked for part-time jobs and saw how hard life was. Zhang Qiyue, 14, asked more than 10 restaurants for a job and finally got one chance. “We were sad when they said no. But gradually(逐渐地), we got used to it,” he said.

Ideas/Tips Dear Seth,You’re very young , and at this point in your life you can’t read. But I’ve thought a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, and I write it down to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what I’ve learned.Life can be unkindThere will be people in your life who won't be very nice. They’ll laugh at you or try to hurt you because you’re different. There’s not much you can do about these people except to learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you and who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this, treasure them, spend time with them and love them.Life isn’t a competitionThere are many people better than you, in school, in college, at work. To them, life is a competition. But here’s the secret: life isn’t a competition. It's a journey. Learn to enjoy t he journey and make it a journey of happiness, of continual improvement, of love.Love should be your ruleIf there’s a word you should live your life by, it should be this: love. It might sound out of date, I know, but trust me, there’s no better rule in life. Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors, your co-workers, strangers, even your enemy. The person who is hardest on you, unkind to you…, love him. He is most in need of your love. And most of all, love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are.Finally, know that I love you and always will. You are starting out on an unknown, tiring, scary, but badly wonderful journey, and always remember I will be there for you when I can.Love,Your DadA father’s 59 to his child59. letter 60. ways/suggestions/solutions/advice 61. right/proper 62. meet 63. everyone。
