The kid’s mother got angry about the young man’s attitude (态度) and they started to quarrel(吵架) with each other.This happened two years ago and has caused a huge argument on the Internet.

These activities made our family feel closer.In the warm afternoon, we peacefully (平静地) read books on hammocks hung among trees by the river. The days always ended with a campfire. We sat around the fire, talking and laughing.The river is a perfect place for people to forget about all the stresses of life and simply enjoy the moment.

I felt too tired to think of any special gifts.Knowing Justin felt the same way, I decided one year not to buy the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Justin. The inspiration came in an unusual way.Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling （摔跤）at the junior level at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team sponsored (赞助) by an inner-city church.These youngsters, dressed in such worn-out shoes that shoe strings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, while our boys were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes.As the match began, I was shocked to see that the other team were wrestling without wearing helmets (头盔) to protect their ears. Well, our boys ended up defeating them. We took every weight class.Justin, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot potential (潜力) , but losing like this could take the heart out of them.” Justin loved kids—all kids, and he knew them, having coached little league football and baseball. That"s when the idea for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets and shoes. I sent them to inner-city church without leaving my name.On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Justin what I had done and that was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and since then the envelope has become the highlight of our Christmas.6. Justin hated Christmas because _____.A. he didn’t enjoy receiving giftsB. he had a hard time choosing giftsC. he spent too much money buying giftsD. he disliked putting gifts under the Christmas tree7. We know from the passage that the team sponsored by inner-city church _____.A. were well dressedB. paid no attention to safetyC. feared Kevin"s teamD. couldn’t afford a helmet8. How did Justin feel about the team"s failure ?A. UpsetB. AngryC. HopelessD. Shameful9. Why did the writer send gifts to the inner-city church without leaving her name ?A. To avoid being thankedB. To play a joke on JustinC. To give Justin a surpriseD. To protect her private information10. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. The Church GiftB. A Special NoteC. The White EnvelopeD. A Christmas Card 【答案】6-10 BDACC。

阅读理解专项训练 (一)阅读下列短文,从下面每题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
ABody language skills that make you popularWe’ve all heard that up to 90% of communication is non-verbal in nature. Body language is important. But what actually is “good” body language? How do we learn to “speak” body language?People should understand the importance of intention (意图).Actions come from thoughts and feelings. What are you doing and thinking before speaking or meeting new friends? Worrying? Being stressful? Imagining the worse things? If so, you may need to do some inner work. In order to have a happy result, people often spend some time preparing for meetings.People stand up straight, but not too straight.People stand up straight to show their confidence, but they don’t overdo it. Standing too straight appears unnatural, and others will not feel good about you.People make eye contact, but not too much.Looking at the ground? Looking at the ceiling? Looking anywhere but into people’s eyes? When people make good eye contact, they may get on well with others. Good eye contact is important to good communication, but making it for a long time is not good.People smile and laugh, but not at their own jokes.If you have a stone-like face during the communication, listeners will feel you are serious. The conversation partners take the information from you. So a good smile will be helpful to your friendly communication, and laughter will make you relaxed.()1.

When you’re holding the phone, it feels as if you're holding someone you miss.Paper PhoneHow many times have you wanted to smash (摔碎) your phone when talking to annoying people?

They need less space and are easier to look after.If you want to have a pet, you can buy one from a pet shop, but you must be careful not to buy a sick one. It is best if you know something about the pet you want. This will help you choose a healthy pet. However, if you do not have much money and know very little about animals, you can visit the Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA)(皇家防止虐待动物协会).The first RSPCA was founded in England in 1824. If an unhealthy animal has no home, it can come to the RSPCA office. People there will look after it until it is healthy again. People visiting the RSPCA may choose their pets from these animals and they make sure that you will get a healthy pet. If later your pet becomes ill, you can take it to the doctors at the RSPCA again.When you have a pet, it is very important that you look after it properly. You must remember to feed it on time. You should also give it a clean and comfortable place to rest. Your pet will be happy and healthy if you love it and care for it properly.()1.

We went with our friends Edward Smith and his wife Tina to the Yorkshire Moors. This is a beautiful place. It is a natural park. There are lots of places to walk on the tops of the hills, miles of grassland with no people, just sheep and birds.Edward, who had just come out of hospital, could not walk as far as be used to. However this meant that we walked in the mornings, and then stopped at a cafe for lunch each day, before returning to the place we live. Edward and I slept in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for another walk. Very pleasant!I have taken lots of photos from the place we live, across the valley（峡谷）below us, of the morning sunrise, and the mist in the valley. Also, in England, the old steam powered trains（蒸汽火车）are very popular. I have taken many photos of the train and from it.Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter. It is very early （we usually expect snow in January）. It rained all day, then snowed in the evening.

This is how wind power works. Wind makes windmills spin (旋转). When the windmills spin, they make electricity. Then we can use the electricity.A lot of people think that wind power is new, but that’s not true.For thousands of years, people have used wind to sail boats and move water. We still do those things today, but these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity.Wind power is a very popular source of energy. Most people think that we should use it more and more. First of all, it’s clean. Windmills don’t pollute the environment at all. Second, we can use wind power forever. After all, we will always have wi nd. Also, wind power is cheap, and it’s getting even cheaper.A lot of people don’t understand wind power very well. They believe that there are problems with wind power, but many of those problems are not real. For example, some people say that windmills are dangerous for birds. They used to be true, but it isn’t true anymore. Old windmills killed birds because they spun very fast. New windmills spin slowly, and they aren’t dangerous for birds.However, there are real problems with windmills. One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly. This is a problem for people, because windmills are often in very pretty areas. Also, wind doesn’t blow all the time, so we can’t use wind power all the time. Finally, windmills are noisy.Wind power is becoming more and more common. Right now, more than 80 countries use wind power. About 2.5 percent of the world’s power comes from the wind. For some countries, that number is a lot higher. Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity.1. Why DON’T new windmills kill birds? Because .A. birds don’t fly near themB. they spin slowlyC. they are shorter than old windmillsD. new windmills don’t spin2. When did people start using wind power?A. About 25 years ago.B. About 80 years ago.C. About 500 years ago.D. Over 1,000 years ago.3. , so we CAN’T use wind power all the time.A. Windmills break all the timeB. We can’t use windmills at nightC. Windmills are too expensive to use all the timeD. Wind doesn’t blow all the time4. What does the article say about wind power?A. Most people don’t like it.B. It’s getting cheaper.C. Denmark doesn’t use it.D. It’s getting more expensive.5. What is the best title for the passage?A. Expensive WindmillsB. Cheap and Clean EnergyC. Popular and Clean Wind PowerD. Dangerous Birds答案：BDDBB4Traveling can be expensive. But there are some ways to save money when traveling.

Everyone has different opinions about where is the best place to live in. Also, the best places to live are not always home to the best schools. Finally, many schools specialize in different areas of study. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, is a great school for computer science and technology-related fields of study. However, if you want to study oceanography (海洋学), your interests may be better served by attending school in a place that is on a coastline or near the ocean.Now I am sure that you know which schools are considered the best in the country. So I will tell you about which states I believe are the best to live in.California is a nice state. Northern California specifically has very good weather. Los Angeles in Southern California is another story though. Life in Los Angeles is full of excitement and fast,and sometimes dangerous.As for me, I enjoy the time I spent in Massachusetts, Virginia and Maryland and these states have a lot of history and culture. The weather is not as perfect as California, but it is still quite nice. My favorite areaof America is the Mid-west. Middle America, I think, is home to the true American sense of values. In addition, there are many good universities there.Also, you need to think about your likes and dislikes and then research the various states. You like sunshine and hate snow? Then you probably won't like the Midwest or even the Northeast. Open space, nature and peace and quiet? Then you probably should stay away from America's large cities. Are you interested in government? Then Washington D.C. is the only place for you. Whatever you decide, put some thought into it.The place you live could be the difference between a great study-abroad experience and a state of great suffering on earth.1. From the first paragraph we can conclude (得出结论) that in the USA _____.A. all colleges and universities lie in big citiesB. all colleges and universities lie in beautiful placesC. famous colleges and universities lie in nice placesD. famous colleges and universities may not lie in nice places2. What should be considered first if you want to study in the USA?A. The climate.B. The scenery.C. The study condition.D. The living condition.3. From the third paragraph we can find that _____.A. California is the best place to live inB. California is the worst place to live inC. California is a state with different climatesD. California is a small state in the USA4. If you study in Middle America, you can probably _____.A. find the best universitiesB. feel the real character of the nationC. meet the most famous professors thereD. face more difficulties5. From the last paragraph of this passage we can get to know that _____.A. Washington is the largest city in the USAB. Washington is the political centre of the USAC. you can't find sunshine in the MidwestD. you can't find any universities out of big cities in the USA答案：DCCBB6Every time you turn on the television or take a ride in a car,you could be adding to a problem called acid rain (酸雨). In this article, you'll learn how acid is created, and how it affects us, and more importantly, what we all can do to prevent it.How is acid rain created?When people use fuels (燃料), such as coal and gasoline, poisonous gases are give off. When these gases mix with rain, acid rain forms. Many power stations burn fuels in order to creat the electricity (电) that we use in our homes and offices every day. Cars and trucks also send these gases into the air when they burn gasoline.When rain mixes with these gases, harmful things called acids form. This is acid rain.How does acid rain affect us?Acid rain damages (毁坏) everything that it touches. It poisons our rivers, ponds, lakes, and oceans along with all the life in them. It pollutes our soil and crops, harms trees, and can even kill fish and plants. Acid rain also eats away at buildings.How can we prevent acid rain?We need to cut down on the pollution that gets into our air. Turn off lights, television, and other electrical appliances if you are not using them, Walk or take a bike whenever possible. If you are travelling a long distance, take a bus or train to save fuel.As research shows, acid rain harms our environment.

英语八年级英语下册阅读理解及答案一、八年级英语下册阅读理解专项练习（含答案解析）1．阅读理解More than fifty years ago, Barbie Millicent Roberts first appeared in the world of toys. Since then, Barbie doll, as everyone called her, has become the most successful toy doll in history. Her parent, the Mattel Company, said that 90G of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.However, Barbie is facing some trouble at present. There are many similar dolls on the market in competition with her. Another doll named Bratz, for example, came to life about sixteen years ago. She looks more like today's pop stars with heavy makeup（浓妆） and miniskirts. And her company offers more kinds of clothes.It seems that Barbie has lost her magic among older girls. "For younger girls, playing with a Barbie is much funnier. But when you get older, you want something smarter and more modern," says Vera Shepherd, a shop assistant of a toy store in New York.It is good news that on the international market, Barbie is still No. 1. Although Mattel is selling fewer Barbies in the United States these years, sales in other countries are still going up. Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat, drink or even become fashion designers for their own Barbies.Mattel is planning big celebrations for Barbie's 58th birthday. Fashion designers from all over the world have been called to make new dresses for Barbie. How long will Barbie stay popular in the world of toy dolls?

（一）Hi, Louis!I’m writing to tell you something about the customs and festivals.Everyone loves holidays since one doesn’t need to go to school or work. Although all holidays mean no school and work, but not all of them are the same. On some of them you go out with friends; on others you stay home to eat, talk, and have fun with your family. For example in the U.S., everyone thinks New Year’s Eve and New Year are both for partying with friends. Christmas is the time to stay home and exchange gifts with family members. The opposite is true in Japan though. For example, in Japan, New Year is for spending time with the family to eat, talk, have fun, and go to the temples. But Christmas is for boy and girl friends to go out and exchange gifts. Originally Christmas should be to celebrate the birth of Christ.I have been interested in foreign customs since I was little. If you learn these different holiday customs, you will learn about different histories and cultures. This is much more interesting than learning them at the library from morning to evening.Love,Sue 根据短文内容，判断正误。
正确的用“T”表示，错误的用“F”表示。
