Many Chinese primary and middle school students can’t do housework today and do not take such work seriously. So some are unable to cook or wash their own clothes when they enter college. The Ministry of Education (教育部) starts new curriculum standard (新课程标准) for housework education for students from Grade 1 to Grade 9, making it an important course that students must take at least once a week. The new standard asks students in Grade 1—2 to learn to sweep the floor, Grade 3—4 to learn to plant vegetables, and Grade 5—6 to have the skills of cooking two to three dishes. Students in middle school will learn to repair machines instead of paying someone to do it. This new standard is popular among many people.
Wang: We all know housework education is important. However, some students are unable to do the easiest housework, as their parents think they should spend more time on study. Some of them grow to be unwilling to do any kind of housework. Housework education should make students become more interested in labor (劳动), help them try different kinds of housework, and most importantly, correct the way they think about labor. The housework course will become an important way to make their personalities better.
Li: In order for students to grow up in an all-round way, primary and middle schools should add the housework course to their curriculum and help students learn and love housework. It is important to make the housework class interesting so that the students will really get some skills for daily life. For this reason, schools have to invite more professional (专业的) teachers to give classes instead of putting this new stress (压力) on parents and other teachers who are already busy with their daily work.
Zhang: Some people think students don’t have to waste time learning housework. If you want to have meals, you can order food through the Internet. And for machine repairs, you can ask for professional help. However, people with the skills of housework can go through daily life much more easily.
It is the first step in helping young students have a healthy idea of labor and be able to take care of themselves in daily life.

Have good qualities
We should choose someone with a good quality as our friend. As the saying goes, “One takes the behavior(行为) of one’s company(陪伴).” For example, if we stay close to those dishonest people, we will also become dishonest.
Often make progress(进步)
If people always would like to make progress, they won’t stop. So if we make friends with those people, we will also try to learn from them.
Be able to help you
We are not able to finish everything by ourselves. We may need someone to help us with our study or other things in our daily life.
For most of us, one or two true friends are enough. They will always stay with you whether(是否) you are happy or not.
Remember not to make friends with those people—when you are successful, they will run to you, but when you are in trouble, they will leave you.

Exercise your courage. It is like a muscle (肌肉). The more we use it, the stronger our courage will be.
Know that giving up is not a choice. It’s much easier to give up, and it takes courage to say or do what you think is right, even when other people think you are wrong.
Fight to control your fear. Courageous people may still be afraid, but the difference is that they can control their fear. They don’t let it hold them back but use it as a reminder of what they can lose if they don’t go on.
Get courage by reading inspiring (令人鼓舞的) stories of brave people. Abraham Lincoln is one of the people who you may think of.

In fact, playing catch is part of baseball practice. It’s a popular game. Because baseball is an American sport, and a big part of being American, playing catch is kind of an all-American dad activity. Outside cities, most people have backyards – not large enough to play baseball in, but just big enough for a game of catch. Those without yards can play in streets.
But any American kid will tell you it’s much more than a game. Playing catch is a time to be with your father. It’s a time when there’s nothing to worry about except catching a ball. When they play it, words move together with the ball itself, back and forth, easy and relaxing(放松). Kids and dads spend time together.
The game can be good memories(记忆) of dads. Why? Dads are usually very busy. This is a time when a kid has all of his or her dad’s attention(注意力). There is no work, no phone and no other people around to take your dad away from you. For the time that it takes to play a game of catch, your dad is all yours.

（2021秋·江苏扬州·八年级校考期中）Television have been necessary in most houses for a long time. Children are very fond of watching TV. Some parents are happy about that because it keeps children from playing with and breaking things.
Watching TV can help your children learn about lots of things such as music, arts and many other things. They will learn about what is good and what is bad. TV also offers children new information all over the world.
However, it’s not right to say that watching TV doesn’t have any bad effect (影响) on children. You can’t let them watch TV as much as they want. Watching TV takes a lot of time. Children need to feel the world by themselves not just from TV. Besides, children are growing and they need to move around and get lots of exercise. Sitting quietly and watching TV too much will make children become weaker.
Most children like to eat snacks while watching TV. That will make them put on weight. To make it worse, there may be too many ads and bad things on TV. These things of course are bad for children.
As parents you should control (控制) the time spent on TV. You have to choose the right channels (频道) for them and shouldn’t let the TV be on all day. Turn it off right after their programmes (节目) are over. Ask them to do activities after school. Never put a TV in the bedroom, especially in your children’s room!

In 2003, China sent its first astronaut, Yang Liwei, into space. Since then, 13 Chinese astronauts have “reached for the stars”. Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu are three of them. They carried out the latest (最近的) Shenzhou XIII mission (任务). Have you ever dreamed of becoming an astronaut like them? How did they get there?
Health is important
To be an astronaut, you need to be very healthy. Good eyesight (视力), a strong heart and lungs (肺) are important. You’d better not have other small problems. For example, you can’t have scars (伤疤) either. They may split (裂开) in space, as Pang Zhihao, a space scientist, told the Beijing Morning Post. A decayed tooth could get worse in space and bring trouble to astronauts.
Become stronger with hard training
In China, you must be a great pilot before you can be an astronaut. You must fly more than 600 hours without accidents. It’s very difficult. For example, you need to build your muscles (肌肉) as strong as professional (职业的) athletes by running, swimming and doing pull-ups (引体向上). You will also wear a 200-kilogram suit and do tasks underwater for six or seven hours and you can’t eat or go to the toilet. This is like doing tasks during a spacewalk.
Learn science
Knowledge (知识) is important as well. Astronauts take 60 courses to get ready for a mission, including math, English, spacecraft design (设计), physics and many more. So they will know what to do when emergencies (紧急情况) happen during the mission. They can also do scientific experiments (实验) in space.

Do you know that people will die early if they have no friends during their lifetime? The survey shows if people want to live longer and more happily, you need to have some friends who can share your sadness and happiness or can be helpful when you are in trouble.

A Loyal Best Friend
Everyone needs a friend who will support you in different situations. This kind of friend knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same.
A Friendly Neighbor
These days, a lot of people don’t know their own neighbors. It’s a shame, because some neighbors can be the most helpful people. If you forget to lock the front door when you are on holiday, you can call your neighbors to lock it for you. So it’s wonderful to have nice and helpful neighbors.
A Workmate
You’ll find it much easier to chat with someone than eating lunch alone every day. Your workmate doesn’t have to be your best friend. If you two get along with each other, you can always start going out with them outside of the office.
A Friend from a Different Culture
If everyone has a friend from a different culture, the world would be much better. Remember that don’t make friends with someone just because they are from a different culture. Instead, keep your mind open, and if you meet someone from other countries, try to learn about their customs, values, and traditions.
If you have such kinds of friends, you will surely live longer and more happily.

As a saying goes, “If you have a good friend, your happiness is doubled and your sadness is halved.” Friends are always a helping hand (安慰的) shoulder, a patient ear to listen to you. Man is a social animal by nature. We all need friends. So it is necessary (必要的) for you to know how to make friends.
The first step is to open yourself up. If you want to make good friends, you should be able to share what you think and how you feel with other people first. When you are in a conversation (交谈), you’d better express (表达), the person doing all the talking may think the other person has no interest in what he is saying.
One of the most important keys to building a strong friendship with other people is to listen to them—really listen. When your friends tell you something that happened to them or complain about a situation, they are usually not looking for agreement but just want to be heard. So don’t try to change their mind or work out their problems, just let them know that you are listening to them.
Respecting (尊重) your friends is also important to keep your relationships healthy and strong. Looking at your friends while they are talking to you is one way to show your respect, as they will feel that what they are saying is important to you.
Unconditional (无条件的) support and encouragement (鼓励) is one of the things which friends have. True friendship means offering a shoulder when they need it, and laughing with them when they are happy. Only in this way, the tree of friendship can last for along time.
The 91 for making friends
▲Friends make you feel less sad. Also, if you have a friend, you’ll get 92 as much happiness as you do.
▲Friends are always ready to 93 you. They can comfort you and listen to you 94 .
Ways to make friends
Open yourself up
▲Share your thoughts and 95 with others.
▲Always respond (回应) when your friends are talking to you. Otherwise, they may think you are not 96 in what they are saying.
Listen to your friends
▲Don’t try to 97 their mind or work out their problems, just listen.
Respect your friends
▲Look at your friends when they are talking to you. In this way, they will feel their words are 98 to you.
99 and encourage your friends
▲Offer a shoulder when your friends are in 100 .
▲Cry with them when they are sad, and laugh with them when they are happy.


（2022秋·江苏南京·八年级校联考期中）Most of us never thought about making an educational toy (益智玩具) by ourselves. If we need an educational toy, we will go to the nearest store to buy it. But things are not so easy in the third world countries. Some families even have no food to put on the table, so it is impossible for them to buy educational toys.
Then how to get these kids interested in science? The Indian engineer Arvind Gupta thought about this question for a long time. While still an engineering student at college, he helped to teach the children who were too poor to go to school. He found a good job at India’s Tata Motors after he finished school, and then he spent the next five years designing cars.
But he didn’t want to do that for the rest of his life. He took a year’s course and became a member of the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Project. Mr Gupta found the whole project so helpful, so he decided to leave his high-paying job and started designing educational toys to help the poor children.
When the Internet became a popular learning tool, Mr Gupta started a website (网站) called Toys from Waste, and now it includes more than 260 videos. About 50,000 children and teachers visit the website every day to learn from the videos. Some young children have even won very important science competitions.

（2021秋·江苏扬州·八年级校考期中）Oct. 16 is World Food Day. The UN started the day in 1979. It reminds (提醒) people not to waste food and fight hunger.
A number of people in the world still don’t have enough food to eat. The food shortage (短缺) is a big problem all over the world. Now, there are more than 1000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die of hunger each year.
There are several reasons for food shortage. First, there are more natural disasters. Also, a growing population (人口) makes feeding everyone more difficult.
Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. The average (平均的) person throws away 50kg of food every year. According to the UN, more than one third of all food goes to waste each year.
Over 1,300 billion kilograms of food is wasted each year. The food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, while in Latin America 300 million a year.
So think twice before you throw away food. You’d better order as much food as you can eat at a restaurant. If you can’t eat all, take the rest home. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much. Don’t cook too much.
When you throw away food, you are not just wasting the food itself. Resources (资源), such as energy, time and water, are also wasted while growing and cooking. So everyone should know that it is important to save food. Saving food is saving ourselves.
Title: Introduction to World Food Day

Many people often lose their chance to live life to the fullest because of procrastination（延, 拖延）which means that they always delay（使延迟）doing something that must be done at once. Moreover, because they often put off their plans till “tomorrow”, they are less likely to achieve their goals and will give up their dreams and goals finally. As a result, we can say that procrastination is the enemy of a progressive lifestyle.
Now that we know procrastination is something bad, why do some people not take immediate action? Well, there are some things that result in procrastination. Depending on（依靠）someone else rather than doing by oneself is one of the things. Whenever you wait for something to happen before you act, you make it easier to delay our goals and dreams until “someday”. Another reason for procrastination is that people do not value each moment in their day.In fact, it’s surprising how much you can do if you just decide to do little things with the little time you have.Also those who often procrastinate can always find a good reason for something they refuse to do at once.
If you are one of those who often delay, then it’s time for you to make a decision to act now because things happen only when we decide to act.Get down to doing something like losing weight, saving money or spending more time with family.Don’t let these things continue to be an excuse for you to do “someday”, but make a decision to do it now.
Once you have made your decision, write down the plan and take action immediately.Making plans can help you think carefully about how you are going to do what you need to do.After understanding how to do what you want to do, get doing with the plan.It doesn’t matter how small the move you make and just be closer to your goals. So, instead, start now! Just make use of every moment you have to do something that is helpful in realizing your dreams and goals.
Here is a challenge that will also move you to be closer to your dreams and goals if taken seriously.Make a list of ten things you have been putting off.It could be anything from getting a health examination, calling a friend or family member, to getting the car fixed and cleaning up the garbage, etc. And then try to develop the habit of doing them immediately!

（2021春·江苏南京·八年级校考期中）You have probably heard it before, most likely from your English teacher. If you want to become a good writer, read good writing. However, you may not really understand how to achieve it.
As you start reading a book, poem, or story, do so with no thought at all and the experience will improve your writing. Just read for fun to begin with. As you go through the work, think about whether or not it is “easy” reading. Do you become so interested in the subject and flow of the writing that you completely forget about the person who wrote it, or does the composition sometimes call too much attention to itself through words and phrases that seem out of place or unexpected? These situations may be a chance to learn from the writer’s mistakes. In fact, the reader should not have to worry about how a writer does “his thing”... he should be able to just enjoy and learn.
Another thing I do, particularly with nonfiction (非小说) books, is to pick a part to read as if it is a completely separate work. Once again, read as a common consumer (消费者) rather than a critic (批评家). For learning how words and phrases work together on the most basic (基本的) level, however, nothing is more suitable than your love for reading poems. A poet is often trying to put a book’s worth of meaning and feelings into lines, and every side of the work shows a very close attention to craft (工艺).
As you can see, there is no one simple way of reading to improve your writing. The key is not to make it boring. Choose authors you admire or like most, and enjoy their works as anyone else would. As long as you are reading, you are improving yourself as a writer.

（2021春·江苏南京·八年级统考期中）Many people often lose their chance to live life to the fullest because of procrastination (延迟，拖延), which means that they always delay (使延迟) doing something that must be done at once. Moreover, because they often put off their plans till “tomorrow”, they are less likely to achieve their goals and will give up their dreams and goals finally. As a result, we can say that procrastination is the enemy of a progressive lifestyle.
Now that we know procrastination is something bad, why do some people not take immediate action? Well, there are some things that result in procrastination. Depending on someone else rather than doing by oneself is one of the things. Whenever you wait for something to happen before you act, you make it easier to delay your goals and dreams until “someday”. Another cause of procrastination is that people do not value each moment in their day. Actually, it’s surprising how much you can do if you just decide to do little things with the little time you have. Also those who often procrastinate can always find a good reason for something they refuse to do at once.
If you are one of those who often delay, then it’s time for you to make a decision to act now because things happen only when we decide to act. Get down to doing something like losing weight, saving money or spending more time with family. Don’t let these things continue to be a desire for you to do “someday”, but make a decision to do it at once.
Once you have made your decision, write down the plan and take action immediately. Making plans can help you think carefully about how you are going to do what you need to do. After understanding how to do what you want to do, get doing with the plan. It doesn’t matter how small the move you make is as the little things you do accumulate (累积) over time and move you to be closer to your goals. So, don’t wait until tomorrow; instead, start now! Just make use of every moment you have to do something that is helpful in realizing your dreams and goals.
Here is a challenge that will also move you to be closer to your dreams and goals if taken seriously. Make a list of ten things you have been putting off. It could be anything from getting a health examination, calling a friend or family member, to getting the car fixed and cleaning up the garbage, etc. And then try to develop the habit of doing them immediately!
