第一篇：My Best Friend
Han Mei is my best friend. We know each other since we were born. Because we are twins. She is my elder sisiter. Like most twin sisters, we look almost the same.
The most easy way to distinguish us is that she has a scar on her arm. It is my fault. When we are six years old, we played beside the stair, and then I pushed her down the stair accidently.
She got hurt but not blame me at all. That is the history of her scar. Since then our parents always recognize us with that mark. Han Mei is better than me in study.
So, sometimes I was criticized by our mother for failing the exam, she will pretend me to receive the criticism, without making my mother see the mark.
Irsquo; m so thankful for this. So sometimes I will pretend her to take part in the piano class, as she is not interested in it. It is so interesting to play such game.
韩梅是我最好的朋友，我们从出生开始就彼此认识了。因为我们是双胞胎。她是我的姐姐。就像很多的双胞胎姐妹一样，我们长得几乎一模一样。最容易区分我们两个的'方法是她在手臂上有一个伤疤。那都是我的错。
在我们六岁的时候我们在楼梯旁边玩之后我们不小心把她推下楼梯。她受伤了，但是一点都没有怪我。
这就是她的伤疤的来历。自从那时候起，我们的父母总是通过那个伤疤来区分我们。韩梅在学习上比我好。所以有时候我考试不及格被妈妈批评，她就会挡住那个标志冒充我去接受批评。我很感激她。
所以有时候我也会冒充她去帮她参加钢琴课，因为她对钢琴一点都不感兴趣。玩这样的游戏真的是太有趣了。
第二篇：My Day我的一天
Today is Monday. I got up at 6:30 a.m.. Then I washed my face and ate breakfast. Milk, bread, egg and porridge are my favorites. My mother always gets up early and cooks for me. This morning, I drank a cup of milk and ate bread and an egg. After breakfast, I went to school at 7:00.
School started at 7:50 and I usually get there at 7:30. I had English, history, math and geography in the morning. I liked English very much, because my English teacher is very nice. After school in the morning, I went home at 11:30. Then I ate lunch and then had a short rest.
I went to school at 14:00. In the afternoon, I had four classes: music, biology, and two periods of Chinese. I liked Chinese, too, because Chinese is our national language and it#39;s very beautiful.
After school, I went home for dinner. After dinner, I spent half and an hour on my homework. Then I watched TV and played computer games.
今天是星期一，我早上6点半就起床了。然后我就洗脸吃早餐。牛奶、面包、鸡蛋和粥是我的最爱。我妈妈经常起得很早给我做早餐。今天早上，我喝了一杯牛奶，吃了一块面包和一个鸡蛋。吃过早餐，我7点去学校。
学校7点50开始上课，我通常7点半到学校。我们上午有英语、历史、数学和地理课。我很喜欢英语因为我的英语老师人很好。上午放学后，我11点半回家。然后吃午饭，并休息一会。2点钟我就去学校了。
下午我们有四节课：音乐、生物和两节语文课。我也喜欢语文课，因为汉语是我们的国语，而且很好听。放学后，我就回家吃晚饭了。吃过晚饭，我花一个半小时做作业，然后就看电视和玩游戏。

Computers are useful machines. They can help people a lot in their everyday life. For example, they can help people save much time, and they can help people work out many problems they can’t do easily. Our country asks everyone to learn to use computers except the old people.

Now, the old man had seventeen camels, and the three brothers didn't know how to do as their father said. They thought a long time about the problem, and it seemed that they must either kill some of the camels and cut them into pieces, or disobey their father.

I have only one camel, but take it-it is yours."
The three sons thanked the old man and took his camel. Now they found it was easy to do as their father wished, The oldest took half- that was nine camels; the second took one-third, that was six; and the youngest took one-ninth, that was two.

We know mosquitoes very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.
No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide if she loves you. She? Yes, she. The male mosquito doesn’t bite! Only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn’t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You’re different from the others!
If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch(痒) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. When the itch begins, she has flown away.
And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, in a tree or on a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.
( )51.All the people don’t like mosquitoes.
( )52.All mosquitoes like to bite people for blood.
( )53.If a mosquito wants to bite you, it means she is very tired.
( )54.The mosquito bites you too quickly and quietly to let you know.
( )55.The itch begins after the mosquito flies away.

Do you know why different animals or pests(昆虫) have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest (收获)time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the trees.
Have you ever found an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid(液体) when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over(散开), its enemies(敌人) cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.
( )56.From the passage we learn that locusts________.
A. are small animals
B. are easily found by birds
C. are dangerous to their enemies
D. change their colours to protect themselves
( )57.How can pests with different colours from plants keep out of danger?
A. They run away quickly.
B. They have the colours much like their enemies.
C. They hide themselves by day and appear at night.
D. They have to move quietly.
( )58.Bears and lions can keep safe because________.
A. they have the colours much like the trees
B. they move quietly
C. they like brown and grey colours
D. they live in forests
( )59.Why can the kind of fish live up to now?
A. Because it is very big and strong.
Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies.
B. Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.
C. Because it swims faster than any other fish.
( )60.Which is the best title for this passage?
A. The Change of Colours for Animals and Pests.
B. Colours of Different Animals and pests.
C. The Main Use of Colours for Animals and Pests.
D. Some Animals and Pests.

There is nothing complicated about eating a proper diet. For good health, eat a variety of foods. Do not eat the same foods day after day!
Foods should be selected everyday from each of “basic four.” They are the four groups of food essential to proper nutrition: the milk group, meat group, vegetable-fruit group, and bread- cereal group, Your body will then be supplied with all the nutrients it requires; they are water, minerals, carbohydrate, fats and oils, proteins, and vitamins.
A person's diet is determined by his attitudes, likes and dislikes. If you eat foods from each of the basic four groups each day, you will have a balanced diet.
没有什么复杂的适当饮食。对于身体健康,可以吃各种各样的食物。不要天天吃同样的食物!
应从日常选择四种基本食物。他们作为四组必不可少的合适搭配的营养食物:牛奶,肉类,蔬菜水果,面包,麦片。你的身体将会提供所有所需的营养物质,它们是水、矿物质、碳水化合物、脂肪和油脂,蛋白质和维生素。
一个人的饮食习惯是由他的态度、喜好决定。如果每一天你吃的食物从每个基本的四组里搭配,你会有一个均衡的饮食。

2b passage:
What Do No.5 High School Students Do in Their Free Time?
Last month we asked our students about their free time activities. Our questions were about exercise,use of the Internet and watching TV. Here are the results.
We found that only fifteen percent of our students exercise every day. Forty-five percent exercise four to six times a week. Twenty percent exercise only one to three times a week. And twenty percent do not exercise at all.
We all know that many students often go online,but we were surprised that ninety percent of them use the Internet every day. The other ten percent use it at least three or four times a week. Most students use it for fun and not for homework.
The answer to our questions about watching television were also interesting. Only two percent of the students watch TV one to three times a week. Thirteen percent watch TV four to six times a week. And eighty-five percent watch TV every day! Although many students like to watch sports,game shows are the most popular.
It is good to relax by using the Internet or watching game shows,but we think the best way to relax is through exercise. It is healthy for the mind and the body.Exercise such as playing sports is fun,and you can spend time with your friends and family as you play together.And remember,“old habits die hard”. So start exercising before it’s too late!

2b passage:
My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror.I'm quieter and more seriours than most kids.That's why I like reading books and I study harder in class.My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too,so we enjoy studying together.I'm shy so it's not easy for me to make friends.But I think friends are like books -- you don't need a lot of them as long as they're good.
It's not necessary to be the same.My best friend Larry is quite different from me.He is taller and more outstanding than me.We both like sports,but he plays tennis better,so he always wins.However,Larry often helps to bring out the best in me.So I'm getting better at tennis.Larry is much less hard-working,though.I always get better grade than he does,so maybe I should help him more.
I don't really care if my friends are the same as me or different.My favorite saying is,"A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart." My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny.In fact,she's funnier than anyone I know.I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better.We can talk about and share everything.I know she cares about me because she's always there to listen.

8年级英语阅读短文一：如果有来生 我会抓住每一秒
If I had my life to live over...I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.
I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life.
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding patter if I were not there for the day.
I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time.
There would have been more "I love yous" ... more "I'm sorrys"... but mostly, given another shots at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it...live it...and never give it back.
8年级英语阅读短文二：坚持你的方向
What would you do if you failed? Many people may choose to give up. However, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.
On your way to success, you must keep your direction. It is just like a lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way. Otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.
Direction means objectives. You can get nowhere without an objective in life.
You can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. In this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly.
And you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time.
8年级英语阅读短文三：我所追求的生活
That must be the story of innumerable couples,and the pattern of lifeof life it offers has a homely grace.
It reminds you of a placid rivulet,meandering smoohtly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees,till at last it falls into the vasty sea;but the sea is so calm,so silent,so infifferent,that you are troubled suddently by a vague uneasiness.
Perhaps it is only by a kink in my nature,strong in me even in those days,that i felt in such an existence,the share of the great majority,something amiss.
I recognized its social value.I saw its ordered happiness,but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course.
There seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights.In my heart was desire to live more dangerously.
I was not unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous,shoals it I could only have change-change and the exicitement of unforeseen.

In 1963 a Lancaster bomber crashed on Wallis Island, a remote place in the South Pacific, a long way west of Samoa. The plane wasn't too badly damaged, but over the years, the crash was forgotten and the wreck remained undisturbed. Then in 1989, twenty-six years after the crash, the plane was accidentally rediscovered in an aerial survey of the island. By this time, a Lancaster bomber in reasonable condition was rare and worth rescuing. The French authorities had the plane packaged and moved in parts back to France. Now a group of enthusiasts are going to have the plane restored. It has four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, but the group will need to have only three of them rebuilt. Imagine their surprise and delight when they broke open the packing cases and found that the fourth engine was sweet as honey -- still in perfect condition. A colony of bees had turned the engine into a hive and it was totally preserved in beeswax!

Last Christmas, the circus owner, Jimmy Gates, decided to take some presents to a children's hospital. Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a 'guard of honour' of six pretty girls, he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo. He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing. A policeman approached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side street as Jumbo was holding up the traffic. Though Jimmy agreed to go at once, Jumbo refused to move. Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street. The police had a difficult time, but they were most amused. 'Jumbo must weigh a few tons,' said a policeman afterwards, 'so it was fortunate that we didn't have to carry him. Of course, we should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall let him off this time.'

八年级英语阅读短文篇三：
In 1858, a French engineer, Aime Thome de Gamond, arrived in England with a plan for a twenty-one-mile tunnel under the English Channel. He said that it would be possible to build a platform in the centre of the Channel. This platform would serve as a port and a railway station. The tunnel would be well-ventilated if tall chimneys were built above sea level. In 1860, a better plan was put forward by an Englishman, William Low. He suggested that a double railway-tunnel should be built. This would solve the problem of ventilation, for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it. Forty-two years later a tunnel was actually begun. If, at the time, the British had not feared invasion, it would have been completed. The world had to wait almost another 100 years for the Channel Tunnel. It was officially opened on March 7,1994, finally connecting Britain to the European continent.
