It opens doors to new worlds, exposes us to different cultures, and enriches our imagination. As we delve into the pages of a book, we embark on a journey of discovery, learning, and sometimes even self-reflection. In the following article, we explore the various benefits of reading, particularly for junior high school students in their first semester of Grade 9.Firstly, reading improves academic performance. Studies have shown that students who read regularly perform better in subjects like language arts, mathematics, and science. This is because reading enhances vocabulary, comprehension skills, and critical thinking abilities, all of which are essential for academic success.Secondly, reading fosters empathy and emotional intelligence. By stepping into the shoes of characters in books, students learn to understand and appreciate diverse perspectives.

A good book can provide an escape from reality, allowing the mind to unwind and recharge.Lastly, reading inspires creativity and imagination. The worlds created byauthors are boundless, and they inspire readers to think outside the box and imagine possibilities beyond their immediate surroundings. This can lead to new ideas, innovative solutions, and a lifelong love for learning.

The sun was shining, but the wind was blowing hard. I was walking to school, trying to keep my hands warm in my pockets.Suddenly, I heard a strange sound coming from a nearby bush. Curious, I went closer to investigate.As I approached, I saw a small bird lying on the ground, struggling to get up. It had obviously fallen from its nest and was injured. Without hesitation,I picked it up gently and examined its tiny wings. They were trembling, butnot 1 broken.I knew I had to do something to help this little creature. So, I wrapped it in my scarf to keep it warm and continued my walk to school. Arriving at school, I immediately went to see the school nurse, Mrs. Lee. She was very kind and helped me 2 the bird in a small box with soft cotton inside. Mrs. Lee suggested that I take the bird to the local wildlife rescue center after school. I agreed and spent the rest of the day thinking about the little bird’s 3.After school, I rushed to the rescue center and handed over the bird. The staff there were very appreciative of my efforts and promised to take good care of it. They said that with proper care, the bird had a good chance of4 fully.I left the center feeling happy and relieved. Although I was sad to say goodbye to the bird, I knew I had done the right thing.

But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10:30 pm was not early. As usual, I read them a bedtime story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.After much effort, my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep.

D.The black lid bin.65.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A.In Australia, the green lid bin is used for all kinds of recyclable (可回收的) wastes.B.In Japan, all kinds of things for recycling are printed on rubbish bins.C.Japanese people cannot throw a bottle into a bin unless they move away the wrapper first.D.In Australia, much of the rubbish is buried in soil or burned without being sorted. 八、任务型阅读(每小题2分,共10分)Respecting_older_people_is_a_tradition_in_China.There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect.When an older person ① a room, everyone stands up.People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest.When we present a book to an older person, two hands are used.Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus.In western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old.They are called “seniors” instead of “old people”.They'd rather do everything themselves.Even after retirement (退休), they take on hobbies, parttime jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well.Westerners respect their older people, too.Seniors usually take trains and buses for free.They are given discounts (折扣)in stores and restaurants.But western seniors don't often live with their children—they live ②.For holidays, the family usually gather at the grandparents' homes.A great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for children to show their respect.任务一:请根据短文内容,分别写出①、②处所缺单词。

However, some people believe that studying English in China is more beneficial. Here are some reasons why studying English in China is a good choice.Firstly, studying English in China allows students to immerse themselves in an English-speaking environment. They can practice their English skills with native speakers every day, which will help them improvetheir speaking and listening abilities. Moreover, students can participate in various English activities, such as clubs, competitions, and cultural exchanges, which will enhance their confidence and communication skills.Secondly, studying English in China is more cost-effective. The cost of studying abroad is usually much higher than studying in China. Students can save a lot of money by studying in their home country. In addition,students can stay close to their family and friends, which will reduce their stress and make them feel more comfortable.Thirdly, studying English in China can help students better understand the Chinese culture. They can learn about the history, traditions, and customs of China, which will enrich their knowledge and broaden their horizons.However, some people argue that studying abroad is better because it allows students to experience a different culture and learn from people with different backgrounds. They can also improve their independence and adaptability by living in a foreign country.In conclusion, studying English in China has many advantages. It is more cost-effective, allows students to immerse themselves in an English-speaking environment, and helps them better understand the Chinese culture.

"I love to learn the Chinese language because it is very nice, important and I want to travel to China to complete my studies there," Karim al-Areqi, a student of the private Languages Model School in Sanaa, told Xinhua.Teacher Mohammed Al-Ansi, who learnt the language in China and received a university degree, stressed(强调) the importance of learning the Chinese language. "It is the language of the future and it is necessary for all people to get advantages from the great development in China," he said.Like many other private elementary and secondary schools in Yemen, the Chinese language is a basic part of the Languages Model School's courses, where the students study Chinese as actively as math and science subjects. "In teaching the Chinese language, I succeeded in educating students in a simple way that fits everyone," Al-Ansi said proudly, stressing that teaching Chinese has changed his life without doubt.Al-Ansi expects that Yemen and China will work together to set upcenters and schools for teaching the Chinese language in Yemen so that many young Yemenis can learn. "I hope that a branch of the Confucius (孔子学院), could be built in Yemen to teach the language and spread the Chinese culture to many students and researchers who are interested in learning the Chinese culture and language," he said. Many people in Yemen see that learning a foreign language may open a way of hope to a new life, such as getting more money and paving(铺平)the way to a bright future in the country that has experienced war for almost five years.15.The passage tells us that Mohammed Al-Ansi .A.has got a university degree in Yemen B.sings Chinese songs well C.thinks it important to study Chinese D.owns a language school 16.In the Languages Model School, the students .A.consider Chinese a simple language B.do well in science and math C.take pride in Mohammed Al-Ansi D.are active in learning Chinese 17.The 4th paragraph is mainly about .A.the Chinese culture B.Mohammed Al-Ansi's hopeC.centers for learning Chinese D.the way of doing research18.It can be learnt from the passage that .A.many young Yemenis learn Chinese for a better futureB.learning Chinese is sure to make Yemenis richC.more and more Yemenis are going to work in ChinaD.Chinese has been popular in Yemen for five years二、阅读还原6选5Sam was from a poor country. In order to make money, he went to work in the US three years ago.He spent several days looking for a job there. 19 Many American students also worked there. Their work was not difficult. They just needed to wash the dishes. But the boss(老板)said to them, “You must wash every dish eight times,” All of the workers weren’t happy, but they had to follow the order. In the beginning, Sam did his job very carefully. 20 After two weeks, Sam found that the boss didn’t check their work very often. He thought maybe he could just wash the dishes less times. 21 He did his work very fast. The boss felt very happy with him. One day, a worker in the restaurant asked Sam why he could wash the dishes so fast. 22 The worker felt surprised but said nothing. A few days later, the worker told the boss about it.23 Sam had to look for jobs in other restaurants, but none of them would accept him because of his dishonest(不诚实的)behavior. Sam was sad but he could do nothing.根据短文内容,从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项(其中有一项多余)。
