The friendship slowly loses its importance and finally 39.Tommy wrote, “I didn't even know the friendship was over until I caught myself thinking of Alan as a former friend.”Peter explained, “We 40 seeing each other less and less. The friendship was just over.”Sometimes friendships 41 suddenly from a disagreement or move to another place.Alice said, “The end of our friendship was a gradual thing. I moved from one side of the city to the other. Since then we 42 made a phone call. We met less and less. At last our friendship ended.”Jack said, “When I moved to Seattle after college, our friendship died. Both of us were always 43 with new jobs, so we didn't keep 44 touch with each other. Our friendship was so dead that I didn't call him 45 I went home.”Yet the biggest problem to a friendship is change. Lillian Rubin in her book Just Friends said, “Generally it's 46 that friends will accept each other if they both remain what they were when they met, or change in similar directions. If they change or grow in different ways, the friendship most likely 47 lost.”No matter why, when, or how friendships end, there is always 48 pain of loss.

It can be used in every field, such as on some signs and restaurant menus. But there are some problems when people use it. Perhaps you've seen the English letters “WC” in your city. They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from native(地道的) English? In fact, foreigners from English-speaking countries seldom use the letters.Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.“WC is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Nancy, a young woman from the US. The old sign will become “Gents/Men” and “Ladies/Women”. “I see much poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs,” she says, “I know what they mean, but they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me “My hometown is Guizhou Province”, I know he or she should say “My hometown is in Guizhou Province”. Hometown is a smaller place in a province. The common mistakes that Nancy picked up include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”, “Direction of Airport”, which should be changed to “To the Airport”. And it is “Room Rate”, not “Room Price”. And remember to “Keep off the Grass” rather than “Care of the Green”.The next time you walk on the street or eat in the restaurant, you can go and see if the expressions are right.51. Who seldom uses letters of “WC” according to the passage?A. Chinese students.B. Foreigners from Japan.C. Teachers in China.D. English-speaking foreigners.52. What's the attitude(态度)of the government towards the bad English on signs?A. It's native.B. It should be changed.C. It doesn't matter.D. It can be used on signs.53. When Nancy sees much poor English in everyday life, ________.A. she thinks it should be correctedB. she thinks it is importantC. she thinks it is properD. she likes to use it54. Which of the following signs is RIGHT?A. Not EntryB. Room PriceC. To the AirportD. Care of the Green55. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Chinglish on menus.B. Money spent on Chinglish.C. Usages of native English.D. Letters of “WC”.BFROM THE EDITORDEAR READERS,Happy birthday to us! TIME magazine's first issue (期刊) came out on March 3, 1923.

Without having any hobbies, life won't be as colorful as it should be.I have a number of hobbies, such as collecting stamps, playing musical instruments(乐器), reading, and doing sports. When I am free, I will spend time on my hobbies. When I am in a blue mood(情绪低落), I will also do my hobbies to cheer myself up.Hobbies can help us improve our moods. Many hobbies require you to put your heart in them. For example, when you play a musical instrument, you have to practice over and over in order to perform(表演)good music. After a period( 一段时期)if you still enjoy it, gradually( 逐渐地)it will become a hobby of yours. But remember, a hobby is like gold under the ground; no hobby will come to you unless you dig it out yourself. If you can treat study as one of your hobbies, learning will be more enjoyable. I hope all of you can find your own hobbies and also have fun from them.61. What makes our life colorful?A. Playing musical instruments.B. Collecting stamps.C. The blue mood.D. The hobbies.62. Hobbies sometimes can make a person ________.。

外研版新标准英语八年级下册阅读理解试题及答案Ai Ling woke up even before her alarm clock rang. She could not sleep anymore, so she got up to get ready for school. She was taking her Chinese oral examination today. Chinese had never been her strongest subject so she was feeling very jittery about it.When Ai Ling came down for breakfast, her mother was surprised to see her up already. Usually, she had to call her repeatedly to wake her up. As Ai Ling sat at the dining table having her breakfast, she was exceptionally quiet, unlike her usual bubbly self. Her mother thought she was ill and felt her forehead. Ai Ling quickly finished up her food and took out her notes to revise while waiting for the school bus to arrive. She mumbled to herself as she memorized the phrases in her notes. She was like a monk chanting prayers in a temple. Her mother decided to leave her alone to study.When Ai Ling arrived in school, she reported to her teacher in her classroom. Attendance was taken and she took her seat at the back of the classroom. She wanted to be left alone to revise her work. Over the next half an hour, more of her classmates started streaming in. Initially, many of them looked relaxed. However, when the examination actually began, they started to tense up. When it was finally Ai Ling's turn, she took a deep breath and tried not to be too nervous. She tried to maintain her focus and appear calm. The examiners looked pleasant enough. They smiled at her when she greeted them. Throughout the examination, they would respond in kind to her answers. Before she knew it, it was over. She thanked the examiners and walked out of the room. The moment she was alone, she let out a deep breath as if she had been holding it in the whole time. She thought that it went rather well and was a little more relaxed after that.That afternoon, Ai Ling went home and told her mother all about the examination. Her mother was glad that it had gone well for her. She made Ai Ling's favorite food for lunch -- spaghetti with meatballs. That lifted Ai Ling's spirits and she was very grateful to her mother for being so considerate.

Last Tuesday, her school had a friendly match against another school. It was a grueling match as both teams were equally skilled. Many of Vinnie's schoolmates were at the stadium to lend the team their support. They had banners, pom-poms and the school flag. It was very encouraging for the team to see so many supporters. At one point of the match, Vinnie had the ball. She was dribbling it towards the goal when suddenly, she was tackled by a member of the other team. She tripped and fell. A spasm of pain shot up her leg and she cried out in agony. Immediately, she was taken off the field. It turned out that she had fractured her shinbone.As a result of that match, Vinnie's leg was in a cast. She had to be pushed around in a wheelchair for the next three weeks. Initially, Vinnie was unaccustomed to the wheelchair. She was normally such an active person and yet now, she felt so incapacitated. in school, the situation was even more troublesome. Vinnie's classroom was on the third floor. However, due to her temporary immobility, the school principal had granted special approval for her class to shift to the ground floor until her leg had healed.Despite this, there were still several classes that simply could not accommodate such a move. For Vinnie's music class, the lesson still had to be carried out in the second-floor music room because the piano was in there.

Thankfully, she had wonderful classmates who were ready to help whenever needed. They would help to carry her books and her bag or they would support her as she made her way up the stairs.Soon, Vinnie's leg healed completely and the class was shifted back up to the third floor.

As they sat there, they sipped the homemade lemonade that their mother had prepared and chatted for a while. Despite their four-year gap in age, the two brothers had always been close.Their relaxing evening was disrupted by a sudden explosion. The boys almost choked on their drinks.

That is the name of a very popular song about winter. Richard Smith and Felix Bernard wrote the song in 1934.But winter is not always such a beautiful and happy time. It is cold outside. The wind blows and makes it even colder. The days are shorter and darker. The sun rarely shines. The leaves on the trees are brown or have fallen to the ground. The flowers are mostly gone. It is not surprising that some people are sad in winter. And some people dream about being somewhere else where it is warm and pretty—like the state of California. The Mamas and the Papas recorded their famous song “California Dreaming” in 1965.During the 1960s, many other famous rock groups sang songs about winter. Here is a song by Simon and Garfunkel called “A Hazy Shade of Winter”. They sing about life and hope.In 1968, the group Blood, Sweat and Tears recorded this gentle, sad song about winter. They sing about a lost love and forgotten memories in “Sometimes in Winter”.Gordon Lightfoot wrote and recorded another sad and lovely song about winter in 1975. Sarah Mclachlan recorded “Song for a Winter’s Night” for an album in 2006. She sings about reading a love letter and wishing the writer were with her.1. beautiful2. warm and pretty3. life and hope4. 19685.

It looks almost the same as other middle-size American cities, with 35, 000 homes, high buildings, highways, factories, a shopping centre and an airport. But it's missing one very important thing. It doesn't allow people to live there.Known as Center for Innovation, Testing and Evaluation (CITE), the city is going to cost $1 billion to build. It is going to be a test city for the future, allowing both the government and private companies to try out new technologies(科技), products and services in an environment that looks like the real world. Driverless cars, drones(无人机), robots and different power systems are some ideas to be tested in the city. Because there are no people in the city, scientists build a computer lab underground to collect all the information from the test, then send it to a research center nearby. The idea of CITE comes from a technology company Pegasus Global Holdings. “It offers scientists a safe place to test some technologies that may cause dangers, like driverless cars, without influencing our daily life. No people will get hurt if anything goes wrong, ” Pegasus manager R obert Brumley told CNN.Many scientists are happy to see new testing ways like this. “We need more new testing places, ” Future Cities Lab designer Nataly Gattegno told CNN. “CITE will allow us to do tests much faster. ”59.

We usually need to set passwords when we use computers and Internet. But not all the passwords are safe. In order to keep our accounts and personal information safe, we must learn how to make safe passwords.How can you make your computer and Internet passwords safe? Experts have some tips for you. You'd better remember the tips and they are useful. Here are the tips.First, make your password out of capital letters. If your password is made of capital letters, it will be difficult for others to get into your account. It only takes a hacker 10 minutes to work out a six-letter password made of small letters. But it takes a hacker 10 hours to work out the same password in capital letters.Second, add(增加) numbers or symbols to your password. It may be much safer. Sometimes such a password is not easy to remember, but it is really safe.Third, never use personal information for passwords and use different passwords for different accounts. Experts say that a user should change his or her passwords every 90 days. In this way, hackers won't guess your passwords.67. You should change your password____.A. every 10 daysB. about every monthC. about every two monthsD. about every three months68. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a safe password?A. 901112B. Liz287C. LUCKY3D. 432Ac%69. Where can this passage come from?A. A dictionary.B. A travel guidebook.C. A magazine.D.

But some people don't want to change their life. So do changes make life better or easier ? Should people change their normal life ?First, changes give you many new chances. For example, few years ago, I like to live in small town, but then I decided to move to a big city. At first, I felt hard to be familiar with this new environment. But day by day, I knew that big city gave me chance to meet many people, work in abig company, and get much money.Second, modern technology can make us know different information such as culutre in other countries and latest news. They make our life rich and intersting. By watching TV and surfing the Internet, we can travel to anywhere to see different kinds of things without walking out of our houses.Last but not least, I think that changes can't give you all better things, sometimes, it gives you many problems. But I think that every thing has two sides. We just need to believe in our decision。
