He then made a wooden clockwhich kept good time. His motto(座右铭)was “I will think of it.” And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.Boys and girls, when you have a difficult lesson to learn, don’t lose heart, and don’t ask someone for help before helping yourselves.

Amaya was warm in her house, thinking about an article she’d read at school. The article was about kids who helped out their communities, and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town, Harvard.The only problem was that she wasn’t sure how to help. In the article, the kids had grown food for people who needed food, but it was winter. She couldn’t start a garden. Amaya was deep in thought when her mom said it was time to go shopping.As they drove along the road, Amaya saw a family walking on the sidewalk(人行道), wearing only light jackets. How cold they must be! That gave her an idea! She could collect winter coats, hats and gloves for people who needed them.She shared her idea with her mom, who thought it was great. But how would they spread the idea to get plenty of winter clothing? Amaya decided to talk to her teacher, because then she could share her idea with her classmates at least.Ms. Monroe agreed when Amaya talked about her idea. They decided to call the project Hats in Harvard. Then they wrote a letter explaining the project. Ms. Monroe even said she could help Amaya talk to the headmaster about it so they could get the whole school to join in it. They met with the headmaster during lunch time. He was excited about the idea, and said he would make sure copies(复印件) of the letter went home with all the students.They collected enough winter clothing in only one week. Then they left the clothes around two parks, so families who needed clothes could get them there. Three days later, Amaya and her mom went shopping again. She saw the same family that had given her the idea for Hats in Harvard. This time, though, the family looked nice and warm in some new coats, hats and gloves.

第7课时八年级(上) Units 3~4一、阅读理解ALiving placesThe home of the elephant is in the deep forest. It is the largest of all land animals, and is found both in Asia and Africa. One of the main places in Asia where the elephant lives is the island of Ceylon. The huge forests on the island become the home of thousands of elephants. The trees grow thick and tall. They make many parts almost dark, while bright sunlight is above and around them.Living habitsThe elephant likes the deep part and the coolest places of the forest. There he will stand swinging his ears, to drive away the flies; or he will pull down a branch (树枝) from a tree to fan himself. He likes bathing, and to be near a lake or running water. There he takes in the water with his trunk, and spreads it all over his body.FoodThe elephant enjoys the fruits in the forest, and also the leaves of the trees. There is plenty of food for him in the forests, though he is not always happy with what he finds there.Way of movementWhen a group of elephants moves about in the forest, the oldest goes first. The young elephants and their mothers are in the middle, where they are safest. Then all move along with a great noise, the branches of the trees bending and breaking before them. Though the elephant is usually harmless, no one dares to attack (袭击) a group of them moving through the forest.How people treat themIn Asia the elephant is trained to work. At one time the African elephant also was trained. Soldiers in ancient times often went to fight on the backs of African elephants. But now the elephant that lives in Africa is illegally (非法地) hunted mainly for its valuable ivory. In order to protect them, governments around the world have developed laws to stop this.1.The elephant likes the part of the forest.A.bright and sunnyB.deep and coolC.dry and deepD.wet and sunny2.Elephants like to do the following things except .A.bathingB.having fruitsC.eating leavesD.harming people3.Why are young elephants and their mothers in the middle while moving?A.To keep safe.B.To avoid making noises.C.To break the trees.D.To walk faster.4.What is the African elephant now mainly hunted for?A.Working for people.B.Fighting in the army.C.Performing for people.D.Selling for money.5.Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the passage?A.Many Asian elephants live on the island of Ceylon.B.Elephants drive away the flies by using their ears.C.Elephants are always happy with the food they find in the forest.D.A group of moving elephants make people scared, although they are harmless.BYou must think a computer is the best thing in the world, right? You must think it works at a super speed and ca n do everything? Well, it’s not! In fact, the brain is much more powerful than any super computer! Think about when a glass is just about to fall off the table. Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glass from falling.First your eyes check out what’s going on, then tell your brain, and your brain decides how quickly you need to react(反应), and then your muscles(肌肉) go into action. That is justfrom your brain. No computer could ever come close to that!The brain weighs just 3 pounds, but it controls everything you do from thinking, learning, feeling even to breathing and your heart beating. Even though the brain is just 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of all your energy in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ(器官). There are about 100 billion tiny, tiny little cells(细胞) in your brain. There are so many that it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all!Your brain stops growing when you’re 18, but it actually keeps on developin g andlearning new things. So your parents are really super smart! You won’t be able to fool them! Believe it or not, your brain NEVER stops working. Even during sleeping, the brain works for long-term memory establishment(建立). It is realized that the brain is the second organ inthe body like the heart that never stops during human lives.So everyone should be proud of such a gift of nature.6.In Paragraph 1, the writer wants to tell us .A.eyes and muscles react quicklyB.the brain controls everything in your bodyC.the computer is the best thing in the worldD.the brain is more powerful than any computer7.In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “That” refers to(指的是) .A.the body weightB.2% of the body weightC.all energy in the bodyD.around 20% of the energy in the body8.Which is RIGHT according to the passage?A.The brain doesn’t work during sleeping.B.The brain is the only organ that never stops.C.The brain keeps growing during human lives.D.The brain keeps on developing during human lives.9.Which word can best describe the brain according to the passage?A.Magic.B.Quick.C.Light.D.Developing.10.In which magazine can the passage be found most probably?A.Business WeeklyB.MedicineC.ScienceD.Sports二、任务型阅读(2019河南平顶山二模)Peng Jiachen is a boy from Pingdingshan. He is the only child of his family. He is happy and confident, but he feels lonely sometimes. “It’s not fun, especially when I travel with my parents. 1 ” he said.It is time for Peng to realize his dream. China has ended its one-child policy and every couple can have two children now. 2A sibling can stop children from having bad feelings such as loneliness and fear, according to an expert. “Siblings can give children something that parents can’t give,” said the expert. 3 They can also talk about various things and share secrets with each other.But there are disadvantages, too. You need to share things with your sibling, including attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and even the TV. 4 Children with siblings need to learn to compromise(妥协) and control their feelings.Even the birth order can make a difference. According to recent research, the birth order decides how parents treat their children. It will then lead to different personalities in children. 5 So firstborns are often responsible and thirsty for success. When the couple have a second child, they are more relaxed. So the later-born children are usually funny and creative.根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺、内容完整。

A(2015·山西)Let's suppose it is a common day of 2060.Of course things have changed and life is very different.Trips to the moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in the 2010's.At a number of scenic spots(风景胜地)on the moon,many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon,every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old.What are people eating now?People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill(药片)form,and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants.Because people in the world today are many more than those about fifty years ago,most of the e arth's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer eaten by pests(害虫).The ha rvest is always good. Farming,of course,is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few compute rs.People are now largely vegetarians,and they eat only bread,vegetables,fruit and so on and they don't eat meat or fish. You see,as the number of people increases,the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds,and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more.Such would be our life in 2060.( )26. What will be on the moon in 2060 according to the passage?A.Many green plants. B.Many wild animals. C.Many interesting places.( )27. What's the meaning of the underlined word “irrigated”?A.冲刷B.灌溉C.淹没( )28.

Do you go on carrying your bag to school now?I think nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other,and paining too. In India,most of us would look at the reduction of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America,there are always more options (选择).A company called Go Reader has created a “school bag” which is the size of a laptop (便携式)computer,weighing about 2.5 kg. The “school bag” has a color screen and can “hold” all the textbooks that a student may need,says a report i n “The Asian Age” newspaper.The company plans to work closely with the publishers of textbooks so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is to download their text-books.
