（2021·上海市进才中学北校八年级期末）Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题）
Students in the US don’t begin their spring break at the same time. It depends on where they live. While students from one town are on vacation, their neighbors in the next town may have classes as usual.
You may have heard of it from many hit US TV shows and films. It’s usually in the middle of March, when characters on shows like Gossip Girl get a week off from classes, go to the beach and throw big parties. It’s spring break—or “party time”!
Unlike our semester(学期), which starts in late February or early March this year. American schools, ranging from kindergartens to college, give students one to two weeks off school.
College students often take planes to places like Florida or Cancun, Mexico. They relax on the beach, enjoy cold drinks and get a tan.
Younger kids take trips with their parents, visiting a new state or even a new country. Sometimes teachers lead overseas trips for groups of students. On a ten-day trip, for example, students may go on a tour through Spain, France, and Italy, which gives them a great chance to see different parts of the world.
Having a “staycation”, which means being a tourist in your own city, is another popular trend. You can visit local art galleries, museums or have a big meal in a nice restaurant.
For those who are not in the mood to go out, spring break is a good time to catch up with hit TV series or play video games.
There are also students who want a different kind of spring break experience. Instead of playing, they choose to do community service, help with disaster—hit areas and do other volunteering work.
No matter how they’ve spent the break, one thing is for true—students return to school feeling refreshed and ready to finish the school year.
1．Do students in the US begin their spring break at a different time?

2．How long does the spring break last?

I am Claire. Last year I left my job and went to Borneo to work without pay in the rainforest. So many people have said to me, “I would love to do something like that,” and I say, “If you want to, just do it.” They always reply, “I can’t.” But if you really want to do it, there are ways to make it happen.
After I had a three-day training, I started work on an environmental project with a group of young people. The accommodation（住处）was very basic and we had to build our own place to sleep. There you could only see a simple bed, a cloth roof and a net to keep insects out.
It was never dangerous there, but it was very challenging（挑战的）. There were things that we didn’t think we would manage to do, but we did. I had some of my worst moments there, but also some of my best—it made me feel alive. We had food, water, somewhere to stay, about three sets of clothes and really good conversation. We were in the most beautiful place and we had things to keep us busy. We didn’t need any more.
One of the teenagers said, “Before we came here, it was really important to me what clothes I wore and who my friends were. I was always thinking about shoes, but really none of that matters. Here, people accept me for who I am, what I believe and think, not for what kind of clothes I’ve got.” When she said that, I ________________.

When I was a little child, I learned many kinds of skills. I learned how to do chores around the house, some first aids and outdoor survival skills. There’s one skill that’s really useful in everyday life—basic home repair.
Being able to take care of repairs around the house is very satisfying. It might be difficult at first, but when you know more about your tools, it becomes easier.
For example, I had some problems with the shower head in my bathroom a few days ago. I didn’t call a repairman to replace it—who knows how much money the repairman would want me to pay for? So I bought a new shower head and replaced it myself.
The task was so simple that it only took me several minutes. As I fixed the new shower head on, I felt a sense of achievement. Of course, there are lots of repairs that are more difficult. My brother, for example, has repaired the TV set in his house many times. With the help of online instructional videos, he has saved thousands of dollars in repairman fee over the years. Skills like these not only save us money, but more importantly, make us more independent and confident. Doing chores around your house is easier than you think.

______________________________________________________________.
20．When does taking care of repairs become easier?

A king wanted to find the answers to three questions. The questions are: when is the right time for every action, who are the most important people, and what is the most important thing to do? The king asked learned men, but their answers didn’t please him. In the end, he decided to visit a wise man who lived in the woods.

（2021·上海普陀·八年级期末）Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题)
When I was six years old, Grandpa sent me into the woods to gather pecans (山核桃). Pecan picking was quite difficult for me and my little basket was only half full. Just then, something caught my eyes. A large squirrel (松鼠) was a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and disappeared in a large hole in the tree. A moment later, he jumped out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.
I ran to the tree and looked into the hole. It was filled with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. I scooped (抱起) all of them into my basket. Now it was full! I was so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans. He looked into the basket and said, “Well, how did you find so many?” I told him the truth.
Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders.
“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter supply of food,” he said, “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will survive the cold winter?”
“I didn’t think about that.” I said.
“I know,” Grandpa said, “But a good person should never take advantage of someone else’s hard work.”
I understood. After supper, I did the right thing.

（2021·上海市进才中学北校八年级期末）Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）
Almost every woman likes going shopping. Personally speaking, I enjoy shopping in the U.K., even if it’s just window shopping. The sales service is the key reason why I like shopping in the U.K. much more than shopping in China.
Every brand has its own official website where customers can see products and order directly online, so the products can be sent home directly. As for those who enjoy shopping in real stores, shopping experiences are rather free and open. Different from that in China, most stores do not provide personal shop assistants unless you ask one of the staff about a specific question. It is never necessary to tell them to leave you alone. Although sometimes, store staff help customers to fetch shoes or clothes of a specific size or color, they never exaggerate(夸大)their opinions on it, as their task is to provide service but not to provide comments.
Besides, each brand has a refund policy(退款政策). The policy may be different from one another, but a cooling-off period of 14 to 28 days is provided for customers to think twice about whether they really want the products they bought. Within the cooling-off period, customers can easily get full refund or exchange if they can provide a valid receipt(有效发票)and unused products with all the tags. It encourages customers to buy products more often and increases sales. As for customers, it is also good, for people can have a chance to get back their money which was spent on unwanted clothes.
The U.K. is a modern country with traditions. While it says yes to the fast pace of modern fashion industry, it also provides 80 for its tourists and customer. It fully deserves the title of “Shopping Paradise”.
43．What is the most important reason why the writer likes shopping in the U.K.?
________________________________________________
44．In the writer’s opinion, why are shopping experiences free and open in the U.K.?

45．What does the underlined word “them” refer to?

46．Do store staff usually help customers fetch things or give comments in the U.K.?

47．How can customers get a full refund or exchange?

48．What can be filled in the blank in the last paragraph?

（2021·上海静安·八年级期末）I still remember the true story that happened to me many years ago. It started while my family were on vacation. Vacations should be relaxing, but I needed to do some studying. I carefully put all my important papers and books in a large bag, and put it in the car.
After a long drive to Los Angeles, we found a motel, a place for travelers and their cars, with a really good price. So we decided to stay for a week. On the second day, after visiting some interesting places and having a big dinner, we returned to the motel. It was about ten o’clock in the evening, and I started working. However, I couldn’t find my paper bag everywhere. I was quite sure that I had put it in the room. Suddenly, I realized the cleaner had taken it out with the rubbish.
I ran over to the main office, and asked if I could talk to the cleaner on duty that day. They told me all the cleaners had left for the day. They showed me where the rubbish bins were instead of offering me any help. I walked out of the motel with a flashlight. I saw three large rubbish bins standing in the dark. I had to look for my bag very carefully. But I didn’t have any luck. I almost wanted to give up. When I took another look into the last bin, I saw my bag right on its top!

（2021·上海市徐汇中学八年级期末）If something really embarrassing (尴尬的) just happens to your friend, what should you do? If your friend starts laughing, you’ll have a funny story to share. Sometimes your friend seems really upset (沮丧的). In these cases, try to remember the golden rule: do to others what you want done to you.
A real friend won’t point out your embarrassment to others. He will let the moment pass. That way, when he gets into an embarrassing situation, you’ll be likely to let it pass too. Give a friend a break in an embarrassing moment. The next time you find yourself in a similar situation, you’ll be glad you did.
There’s no way to completely avoid (避免) embarrassing moments. You can’t control everything that happens, so sooner or later you’re going to be in a situation when you feel embarrassed. The key is to control your reaction and try not to be upset.
Remember that you’ll probably be laughing about it in a few days, so try to see the funny side of it right away. If it’s something so embarrassing that you know you’ll never laugh about it, understand that the pain will disappear over time.
Always keep in mind that you’re not alone. Everybody has embarrassing moments, and while you’re sure that everybody is going to remember this moment forever, the truth is that they’ll probably forget it. Most of us remember the moments when we were embarrassed, but very few of us remember other people’s embarrassing moments. So while you may never forget the time you dropped your milk in front of everybody or you split (裂开) your shorts in the gym class, chances are everybody else will forget.
Embarrassing moments sometimes seem to be the end of the world, but really, everybody has them. Sometimes embarrassing moments help people to remember the good things about you, many years from now.

（2021·上海市徐汇中学八年级期末）I grew up in a small town in Italy. One morning when I was 16, Dad told me I could drive him into a village, about 18 miles away, if I took the car to be serviced (保养) at a nearby garage. Thinking that I had just learned to drive, and hardly had the chance to use the car, I agreed happily.            
I drove Dad into the village and made sure to pick him up at 4 p.m. Then I drove to a nearby garage and dropped off the car. Because there were still a few hours to be left, I decided to watch movies at a theatre near the garage. But, when the last movie finished, I was two hours late. I was afraid of the result of being late. I thought if Dad knew what I had done, he would never let me drive again. So when I drove up to the place where we had planned to meet and saw Dad waiting patiently on the corner, I told him that I had come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some special repairs.
“I’m terribly sorry that you feel you have to lie to me, Jason.”
“What do you mean, Dad? I’m telling the truth.”
“I called the garage to ask if there were any problems, and they told me that you had not yet picked up the car. So I know there were no problems with the car. I’m angry not with you but with myself. You see, I’ve failed as a father, so I’m going to walk home now and think carefully about where I have gone wrong all these years.”
“But it’s dark, and it’s 18 miles to walk home.”
I pleaded (请求) all the way, telling him how sorry I was. But nothing helped. I had to drive behind him for 18 miles.
It was one of the most painful moments I had ever had. But it was the best lesson.

（2021·上海市进才中学北校八年级期末）Millions of film viewers are excited about the Indian movie Dangal(摔跤吧，爸爸), not just because it’s a well-produced movie. It’s the true story of an Indian father, Mahavir Phogat, who trained his daughters to become the best wrestlers(摔跤选手) of the country when women weren’t even considered to be able of wrestling.
Phogat’s inspiration to train his daughters to become wrestlers came from Kamam Malleswari, the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal. Phogat thought his girls can lead the country in women’s wrestling if he trained them properly. So he gave up his job and taught them all the tricks he knew from his own experience as a wrestler. The girls, Geeta and Babita, started their training by running on the farm every day.
Since there were no other female wrestlers in the village, the girls had to compete with the boys. However, the villagers laughed at them and told them to go back home for wrestling was a “male” sport.
However, Phogat didn’t listen to any of this. Eventually, he took his girls to the Sports Authority(部门) of India, where they trained under professional coaches. In 2010, Geeta Phogat became the first Indian woman to win a gold medal in the 55 kg freestyle women’s wrestling at the Commonwealth Games. Babita Phogat finished with a silver medal. In 2012, Geeta became the first Indian woman to win a bronze(铜) medal at World Wrestling Championship. Babita won her first gold medal at the 2014 Common wealth Games.
The Phogat sisters have shown that women can stand out in any sport if they put their heart and hard work into it. They have also proved that wrestling is not just a man’s sport. It’s a message of encouragement to all the women who have been working hard for their dreams.
