英语八年级英语下册任务型阅读及答案经典一、八年级英语下册任务型阅读专项练习(含答案解析)1.任务型阅读How to Become a Radio DJDo you have a great voice? Have you ever thought about A (become) a radio DJ? Working as a DJ can be exciting but it also needs experience. If you want to be a DJ, the following are usual the ways to start.Intern(实习生). It's a dirty job. Unluckily, most radio station workers start as an intern. This means working long hours without pay. It will help you do better at the radio station.Events.

This is a great way to learn to work with people and play music.Fill in (替补). If you work at a radio station, you can ask to be put on the “fill in” list for DJs. So if the main DJ gets sick, you can fill in for him or her to get some experience.Late, late night. Usually the first job for a DJ is a late shift (晚班). In other words you may be on air B from 1 am. to 5 am. , B you will get more experience.根据短文内容,完成下列小题。

But after a little practice he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he was making some of the finest tacks.Old Mr. Smith died and the son on account of the war lost all his goods. He had to leave home and wasforced to live in another country. It so happened that in this village there were many shoemakers who were spending a lot of money buying tacks for their shoes and even at times when they paid high prices they were not always able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiers’ shoes.Our young Mr. Smith, who was finding it difficult to earn his daily bread, remembered that once upon a time he had learned the art of making tacks and had the sudden idea of making a bargain with the shoemakers. He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help to get him settled in the workshop. The shoemakers were only too glad of the offer. And after a while, Mr. Smith found that he was soon making the finest tacks in the village.“How funny it seems,” he used to say, “even making tacks can make money.

A good beginning makes a good ending.D. Every man has his gift.答案:CDB5In the early days of human history, people survived by hunting wild animals, or gathering wild grains and plants for food. Then, some people learned to grow crops and raise animals for food. They were the first farmers.From the sixteenth century on, the word “farm” has meant agricultural land. But a much older meaning of the word “farm” is linked to economics. The word “farm” comes from the Latin word “firma”, which means an unchanging payment. E xperts say the earliest meaning of the English word “farm” was a yearly payment made as a tax or rent.Farmers in early England did not own their land. They paid every year to use agricultural lands. In England, farmers used hawthorn trees along the edges of houses. They called this row of hawthorns a hedge. Hedging fields was how careful farmers marked and protected them. Soon, people began to use the word “hedging” to describe steps that could be taken to protect against financial loss. Hedging is common among gamblers who make large bets. A gambler bets a lot of money on one team. But, to be on the safe side, he also places a smaller bet on the other team, to reduce a possible loss.You might say that someone is hedging his bet when he invests in several different kinds of business. One business may fail, but likely not all. Farmers know that it is necessary to make hay while the sun shines. Hay has to be cut and gathered when it is dry. So a wise farmer never postpones gathering his hay when the sun is shining. Rain may soon appear. A wise person copies the farmer. He works when conditions are right.1.We can know from the 3rd paragraph that farmers in early England _________.A. had land of their ownB. paid to use hawthorn trees every yearC. used hedging fieldsD. often suffered from financial loss2.Which of the following is wise?A. A mother tries to sleep as soon as her baby is quietB. Hay has to be cut and gathered before it is dryC. Put off gathering hay when the sun is shiningD. Gather hay as it is rainy3.If a boy is carefully listening to his teacher in class, he learns to _________.A. become a wise farmerB. hedge his betC. gather his hayD. make hay while the sun shines答案:CAD6My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better."Families aren't what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now parents are both busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.And the cars! No one walks anymore. More and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on school days, even in winter. But now we don't. And in school, children don't have to think anymore. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide by using our heads. But now kids don't use their heads anymore. Instead, they use calculators.Most families have computers now. In the past we didn't have computers. We didn't even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don't often eat home-cooked food.And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...Life used to be simple, but it isn't anymore."1. What does the grandfather think of the life now?A. It's as good as it used to beB. It's worse than it used to beC. It's better than it used to beD. It's the same as it used to be2. What does the underlined word "marriage" mean in Chinese?A. 生活B. 工作C. 婚姻D. 家庭3. What did the grandfather used to do?A. He used to use calculators in math classB. He used to drive to school in winterC. He used to go to school by bikeD. He used to walk five miles to school4. What changes have happened?①There are lights at home②People often eat home-cooked food now③Lots of families have computers④More and more people drive instead of walkingA. ①②④B. ②③④C. ①②③D. ①③④5. Which of the following is TURE?A. Life now is much simplerB. People have more time to talk with each other nowC. The grandfather only complains and pays no attention to the better life nowD. Lots of mothers still stay at home and look after their children.答案:BCCDC。

"For younger girls, playing with a Barbie is much funnier.

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.

【英语】八年级英语下册阅读理解真题经典1一、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A proverb is a short, well-known saying that tells a common truth or belief. Proverbs are popular around the world.Many listeners have sent us their favorite proverbs. They give advice about how to live. We begin with two popular proverbs about staying healthy by eating good food. One is" An apple a day keeps the doctor away." The other is" You are what you eat."Several proverbs about birds also give advice. You may have heard this one: The early bird catches the worm. This means a person who gets up early, or acts quickly, has the best chance of success. Another famous proverb is" a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". This means you should not risk losing something you have by searching something that is not guaranteed(有保证的).Another proverb warns "do not put all your eggs in one basket". This means you should not put all of your resources(资源) together in one place because you could risk losing everything at one time.Here is more advice: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Also," Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today."Yet another proverb advises us not to be concerned about something bad that you cannot change. It says," There is no use crying over spilled milk."Do you agree with the proverb" Children should be seen and not heard"? Maybe you have told your children that" hard work never hurt anyone". But other people say that" all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". They believe it is not wise to spend all your time working but never having fun.Finally, here is one of our favorite pro-verbs: People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. This means you should not criticize other people unless you are perfect yourself.That's all for today. Thanks for listening.(1)A proverb is ________.A. a long sayingB. not famous at allC. about common truthD. only popular in China(2)The proverb "you are what you eat" advises us to ________.A. eat what we likeB. have a healthy dietC. eat an apple every dayD. eat as much as we can(3)If someone is slow in action, we can tell him/her the proverb "________".A. the early bird catches the wormB. do not put all your eggs in one basketC. all work and no play makes Jack a dull boyD. people who live in glass houses should not throw stones(4)What is this passage probably used for?A.

DSay you’re sitting around with some friends playing video games and someone mentions a game that happens to be one of your favorites. "Oh, that game's easy. So not worth the time," one of your friends says. The others agree. Although you enjoy the game quite a lot, not wanting to argue with them, you go along with the crowd.You have just experienced what is commonly referred to as peer pressure(同伴压力),also called peer influence. You will adopt a certain type of behavior, dress, or attitude in order to be accepted as part of a group of your “peers”. As a teen, you are likely to have experienced the effect of peer pressure in a number of different areas.We are all influenced by our peers at any age. For teens, as school and other activities take you away &om home, you may spend more time with your friends than with your family. As you become more independent, your peers naturally play a greater role in your life. /According to Dr. Casey from Cornell University, teens are very quick and accurate in making decisions on their own Hnd in situations where they have time to think. However, when they make decisions in the heat of the moment or in social situations, their decisions are often influenced by factors like peers. In a recent study, teen volunteers played a video driving game, either alone or with friends watching. The researchers discovered that the number of risks teens took more than doubled when their friends were watching compared with when they played alone. This shows that teens may find it more difficult to control risky behavior when their friends are around, or in situations where they are extremely angry.Just as people can influence us to make unwise choices, they can also influence us to make good ones. A teen might join in a volunteer project because his or her friends are doing it, or get good grades because his or her friends think getting good grades is important. In fact, friends oftenencourage each other to study, or try out for sports.While we are always influenced by those around us, the decision to act or not is up to us. So when it comes to decision making, the choice is up to you.30.According to the passage, Dr. Casey probably agrees that teens______.A.like to play driving games with their friendsB.prefer situations where they have time to thinkC.may take more risks when their friends are aroundD.are slow in making decisions when they are on their own31.The words “in the heat of the moment" in Paragraph 4 probably mean"______”A.when teens avoid possible risksB.when teens trust their judgmentC.when teens lose control over their angerD.when teens give consideration to situations32.What can we learn from the passage?A.Teens are eager to be different from their peersB.Peer pressure has effects on both teens and adultsC.Peer pressure does more harm than good to teens.D.Teens think it challenging to get good grades at school.33.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Peer Pressure: Is It Necessary to Deal with It?B.Peer Pressure: Is It Possible to Get Away from It?C.Peer Pressure: Its Benefits to Teens and Friend MakingD.Peer Pressure: Its Influence on Teens and Decision Making .。

英语d篇阅读Reading is a fundamental skill that is essential for academic and personal success. It allows us to acquire knowledge, expand our understanding of the world, and engage with diverse perspectives. In the context of English language learning, reading plays a crucial role in developing proficiency and enhancing overall language skills.One of the primary benefits of reading in English is the exposure to authentic language use. By reading a variety of materials, such as books, articles, or online content, learners can familiarize themselves with the natural flow of the language, its grammar structures, vocabulary, and idiomatic expressions. This exposure helps to reinforce the language patterns and improve comprehension, which in turn, facilitates more effective communication.Moreover, reading in English expands the learner's vocabulary repertoire. As individuals encounter new words and phrases in context, they can infer the meaning and gradually incorporate them into their active vocabulary. This expansion of vocabulary not only enhances the learner's ability to comprehend written texts but alsoimproves their overall linguistic competence, enabling them to express themselves more eloquently and accurately.In addition to vocabulary development, reading in English promotes the acquisition of grammatical structures. By observing how language is used in various contexts, learners can internalize the rules and conventions of English grammar. This understanding of grammatical principles can then be applied to their own writing and speaking, leading to more coherent and grammatically correct communication.Furthermore, reading in English provides opportunities for cultural exploration and understanding. Through the lens of literature, articles, or other written materials, learners can gain insights into the customs, traditions, and perspectives of English-speaking societies. This cross-cultural exposure can foster a deeper appreciation for diversity and enhance the learner's intercultural competence, which is crucial in an increasingly globalized world.Reading in English also supports the development of critical thinking skills. As learners engage with written texts, they are challenged to analyze, interpret, and form their own opinions. This process of active engagement with the content encourages the development of higher-order cognitive skills, such as inference, evaluation, and problem-solving, which are essential for academic and professionalsuccess.Moreover, reading in English can have a positive impact on language proficiency in other modalities, such as writing and speaking. By exposure to well-structured texts, learners can observe and internalize effective writing techniques, sentence structures, and rhetorical strategies. This knowledge can then be applied to their own written compositions, leading to improvements in organization, coherence, and overall writing quality.Similarly, reading in English can enhance oral communication skills. As learners encounter new vocabulary and expressions in their reading, they can incorporate them into their spoken language, leading to more natural and fluent conversations. Additionally, the exposure to diverse perspectives and ideas through reading can provide learners with a broader knowledge base to draw from during discussions and presentations.In conclusion, reading in English is a crucial component of language learning and development. It offers numerous benefits, including vocabulary expansion, grammar acquisition, cultural understanding, critical thinking skills, and improvements in other language modalities. By consistently engaging with a variety of English-language materials, learners can unlock the full potential of theirlanguage learning journey and achieve greater success in their academic, professional, and personal endeavors.。

D1(朝阳区)Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost mention recycling, which is the process (过程) of treating used things, such as paper or steel so that they can be used again. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more things than we need. We are now dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the possible greenest way, but it would be far better if we did not bring so many things home in the first place.Here is an example. In the UK, the total of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a household’s waste. In many supermarkets, foods are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging causes serious environmental problems. The UK is running out of different kinds of ways for dealing with this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect (效果). Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The best way of avoiding this problem is to stop producing such unnecessary things in the first place. Food waste is another serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers (消费者) to buy more than they need. They seldom encourage customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to connect packaging with quality (质量). We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. Is it true for all the products? In fact, more and more companies realized the importance of protecting the environment. They try to package what really should be packaged, including products in good quality.As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize how many unnecessary things are being collected. We need to face the waste of our daily life. Although many people have taken action to recycle, we have a high mountain to climb.1. What does the underlined word ―over-consumption‖ mean?A. Making the environment green.B. Recycling as much as possible.C. Making more products than necessary.D. Having more things than being needed.2. What is the main purpose of the second paragraph?A. To show the facts of over-used packaging.B. To talk about the possible greenest ways.C. To teach people how to do recycling at home.D. To express worries about environmental problems.3. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B. Other products are better packaged than food.C. We can’t always connect quality with packaging.D. Supermarkets should care more about packaging.4. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Supermarkets should recycle first.B. Packaging causes serious problems.C. Needless things are mostly recycled.D. Recycling should be done in the first place.D2(西城区)The secret in re-remembering is to allow the full powf er of your memory to flow freely without ―trying‖ to remember any one specific (特定的) thing.I recently sat down to a relaxed and enjoyable dinner with some friends. At the beginning of the meal, a friend told us that his car had just been broken into and his briefcase (公文包) had been stolen. He was frustrated (懊恼的) because his diary and a number of other items (物品) important to him were in the briefcase. He said he could remember only four items that were in his stolen briefcase, that he knew there were many more, that he had to give a full report to the police within two hours, and that the more he tried to remember the more blocked he became.Several of us at the table who were familiar with Memory Principles (规则) then took him through the following exercise: instead of continuing to allow him to think of what he could not remember, we asked him when he had last had his briefcase open. It turned out that it was at the office just before he left work, at which point he suddenly remembered that he had put two important magazine articles in the briefcase. We then asked him when he had last had the briefcase open before leaving home for work. It turned out to have been the night before, and he remembered having put in two more articles as well as a tape recorder, in preparation for the following morning. Finally we asked him to describe the inner (内部的) design of his briefcase, and as he went through a detailed description, he remembered pens, pencils, letters and a number of other items that he had c ompletely ―forgotten‖ before.Within 20 minutes, he remembered 18 additional items.The secret is to ―forget about‖ whatever you are trying to remember and ―relive ‖ all experiences that connect in any way with the item you are trying to remember. This method works at once almost in all cases, and takes the form of a created Mind Map around the ―missing‖ center.This memory method, like the others, improves your memory as well as your creativity, and in addition gives you confidence when you realize that, no matter what you have forgotten, there is still a chance to solve any memory mystery (谜团)!2. What does the underlined word ―relive ‖ mean in the passage?A. go through againB. get out ofC. get used to againD. pay attention to3. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Forgetting — Y ou can never really forgetB. Drawing — The better way to remember thingsC. Re-remembering — Remember what you have forgottenD. Replacing — Forgetting something instead of rememberingD3(门头沟)Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don’t bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.Some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can’t be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value(重视) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.Here are a few ways to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking abou t the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we don’t enjoy the present. Y ou should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. Y ou can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.Now maybe you know how to find happiness!( ) 1. Some people who hold a high position in the government think they can _________.A. get money and something they can’t buy wit h moneyB. do what they want to do at any timeC. enjoy health which makes them work hardD. take an active part in all kinds of activities every day( ) 2. The writer thinks the secret of happiness is that people ___________.A. think about getting a good jobB. think of presents they don’t likeC. often spend time with close friendsD. often spend time on entering the college( ) 3. Many people find it happy to ___________.A. remember the old days and troublesB. do some meaningful things for othersC. go shopping to buy some foodD. make much money and little successD4(东城区)Y ou have learned about energy. Do you know that HEA T is a form of ENERGY? Y ep, this form of energy acts on everyt hing. And, we’re going to look at a few experiments to learn how this form of energy acts and why we need to know all about it.The heat energy of something is decided by how active its atoms(原子)and molecules(分子)are. A hot object is one whose atoms and mo lecules are excited and show rapid movement. A cooler object’s molecules and atoms will be less excited and show less movement. When these guys are in the excited state, they take up a lot of space because they’re moving around so fast. When the atoms and molecules settle down, or cool down, they take up less space.If a HOT high-energy atom comes into contact with a cool low-energy atom, the excited atom will loose some of its energy to the cool atom. The two atoms will reach an energy level that’s betwee n where they each started out. That level is called Thermal Equilibrium.Experiment: If you have a cup of really hot chocolate and want to cool it down, you may put an ice cube inthe cup. After the ice has completely melted (disappeared), the hot chocolate and the melted ice have come to Thermal Equilibrium.Now that you have an idea of what heat is, let’s look at some of the effects of this form of energy. Here’s another experiment. Blow up a balloon, but not all the way. Put the balloon in a refrigerator for about an hour, then take it out. Did it become smaller? Why?It became smaller because the air molecules inside the balloon slowed down and are taking up less space. Now put the balloon in direct sunlight. What happened after it warmed up? Why?From the above experiment, we learned a very important fact—heat causes things to ―grow‖. We call this Thermal Expansion. If things ―grow‖ when heated, what do you think happens to them when they get cold?If you get a chance to check out some railroad t racks, notice the gaps or separations between the rails. (Don’t get run over by a train!) Thermal expansion and contraction is why those gaps are placed there that way, and why expansion joints are placed in long highway bridges. Y ou’ve probably felt expan sion joints on old concrete highways. Remember the ―thump–thump‖ sound as you rode over them?1. How many experiments are mentioned in the passage?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.2. What is Thermal Equilibrium?A. The fact that hot atoms loose some energy to cool atoms when they meet.B. The fact that there are always the gaps or separations between the rails.C. The fact that heat causes things to increase in size.D. The fact that heat is another form of energy.3. Why is the first paragraph written?A. To explain what heat energy is.B. To sort energy forms for readers.C. To give examples of heat energy.D. To tell readers what to read here.4. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Why thermal expansion is on the tracks and highways.B. How to check railroad tracks and concrete highways.C. Why railroads and highways are built that way.D. How to remember the ―thump–thump‖ sound.D5(密云)For hundreds Of years, scientists have been trying to answer what things have an effect on people’s emotions (情感). How you feel is controlled by many things. Y our emotions can be affected by your personality, by the actions of others and by events around you. Perhaps you don’t know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well.People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce a vitamin. Vitamins are natural chemicals (化学物质) which we all need to stay healthy. Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D. Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical. This special chemical affects our brains (大脑) and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D. Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this special chemical which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feel better, special ―sunrooms‖ with artificial (人造的) lights have been built. People can go there and get ―sunlight‖ for an hour or two!The weather can also affect people’s emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains. Throughthese ways, the weather can influence our emotions. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather.1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage ?A. Weather.B. Actions of others.C. Personality.D. Age.2. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?A. We feel good when we are in the bright cool weather.B. We will be happy when we are caught in the rain.C. All people in Norway and Sweden feel sad in winter.D. The more vitamin D you have, the happier you’ll be.3. What may be the best title for this passage?A. Why Do We Feel SadB. The Weather Influences People’s EmotionsC. People Need More Vitamin DD. We Can Hardly Change the WeatherD6(大兴区)Do you speak English? Do you speak e-mail English? May be you don’t. E-mail English is a new kind of English that many people use to save time. A lot of e-mail English words come from a computer program called QQ, which means I seek(寻找)you. Ian Lancashire, a Canadian teacher, likes QQ, ―People can use QQ to ta lk with each other using computer. But, you have to be able to type quickly or the other person will be bored. So e-mail English can give some help.‖A message in e-mail English mostly uses two kinds of new words. The first kind is made up of the first letters of the words. These are called acronyms. The second kind is homophones,letter combination(合并), symbols that sound like other words.Acronyms in an e-mail save space and time. It takes a long time to write by the way. BTW is much faster. Other acronyms are F2F which stands for face to face, CSL for can’t stop laughing and DBEYR for don’t believe everything you read!Some of the acronyms look like strange words, such as SW AK. But this one means sealed(封口) with a kiss.Homophones often use letters and numbers that sound like words or parts of words. For example, 8 sound like—eat in grea t, to save time, people write gr8. Another example is CU for see you or sometimes CU l8r (see you later)The number 2 is used for to or too and the number 4 is used instead of for.Another part of e-mail is emotive symbols(表情符号) which make faces when you look at them sideways. The most common emotive, is the happy face :). A comma (逗号) is often used to help add other parts of the face and show different expressions.E-mail English is fun. An e-mail message with lots of e-mail English starts to look like secret code(密码). Y our best friend will probably understand it, but your parents and teachers may not. In fact, many teachers don’t like e-mail English. It’s not just because they can’t comprehend what it means. It’s because students start to use e-mail English in their everyday writing. E-mail English is great for writing quickly. But most teachers say that e-mail English should only be used in e-mails to one’s friends.1. What does the writer talk about in the first paragraph?A. How to read new e-mail words.B. How new e-mail words are made.C. Why people use e-mail English.D. Canadian teachers and their e-mails.2. The underlined word ―comprehend‖ in the last paragraph means ―_______‖.A. acceptB. understandC. guessD. prefer3. What do teachers insist according to the passage?A. Parents will have to learn some e-mail English.B. E-mail English will develop our everyday writing.C. E-mail English can’t be used among schoolmates .D. E-mail English shouldn’t be used in school writing.4. What’s the title for this passage?A. E-mail English on Computer.B. American E-mail English.C. The Forms of E-mail English.D. The Changing of English.D7(房山区)Many people in the United States and throughout the world enjoy bird watching or ―birding‖. A report by the U.S. Wildlife Service showed that over 50 million Americans watched birds. There are many reasons why birding has become so popular, but one of the main reasons is how easy it is to start. Birding is an activity that almostanyone can do regardless of (不论) age, physical size and strength, or experience; Also, it can be done alone or as part of a group of other birding enthusiasts. A city park, a field, a forest, or even afriend’s backyard are all good places to start. This makes the fun of bird watching open to everyone.The basics of bird watching are simple. Bird watching is ―the observation of birds in theirnatural home.‖ All you need to st art is the time and place to look for birds and a small notebook torecord notes about the birds you see. Any pair of binoculars you can use will also help. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of joining ―the birding boom (热潮)‖:1. When you first find a bird, try to name it. Take notes about the bird’s size, appearance, and the sounds it makes; later, ensure your sighting with a field guide or other bird watching books.2. Record the date and time of each bird you see. That way you’ll have a record of all your sightings to compare with other birding lovers.3. Try birding in different places. If you only look in the same place each time, it will not take long before you will want to find new and different birds.4. Try looking for one or two new birds to record any time you travel to a new area.5. Join a bird watching club or take other birders with you to new sighting areas. You’re likely to learn a lot from others and have lots of fun.If you enjoy bird watching, you’re certainly not alone. It’s a good way to get some exercise and enjoy the outdoors. It’s also an activity that birders sometimes help develop scientific knowledge just by practicing their hobby and taking part in the birding boom. Who knows? Some day, an ornithologist (someone who studies birds) might even thank you for your own birding observations!( )1. What’s the meaning of ―enthusiasts ‖ in Paragraph 1?A. Fans.B. Farmers.C. Feeders.D. Guides.( )2. What can the readers infer from the passage?A. Bird watching needs a lot of expensive machines.B. Finding a place to observe birds can be very difficult.C.

In most cases, understanding the behaviors of those who share the same or similar culture seems to be easier because they are familiar with each other’s ways of thinking, expressing, acting, and reacting. However, it appears a little difficult for people in one culture to understand the behavior(s) of people in another culture in their cross-cultural communication(跨文化交际). Due to the lack of cultural awareness of one another, both Chinese and Americans may face misunderstandings in their interactions (交往).One of the ways that Chinese show modesty is through self-denial; that is, having been praised by others, most Chinese tend to show disagreement by responding (回应) verbally that they do not deserve to be complimented(夸赞) for what they have done. However, when Chinese still use their self-denial among self-praising Americans, their modest responses to Americans’ compliments may turn out to be embarrassing to some Americans.Unfortunately, in cross-cultural communication, misunderstanding can be created often. The following dialogue between an American and a Chinese is an example: ―Y our English is very good.‖ (the American’s compliment) ―No, no, no. my English is very poor.‖ (the Chinese self-denial)In Chinese culture, the ability to preserve self-denial is marked as a sign of virtue (美德)in modesty. Y et, when Americans’ compliments are rejected by Chinese, Americans tend not to value Chinese self-denial as a sign of modesty. Instead, some Americans may feel embarrassed as if they have made a wrong judgment, while some others are more likely to assume that self-denial is a strategy used to fish for more compliments. The dialogue does show how the Chinese polite response failed to match the American’s good intention owing to their culturally influenced attitudes towards compliments. 296 w1.
