（2020·江苏·张家港市第八中学八年级期中）In the UK, one of the funniest things about going to middle school is joining a club. Clubs usually have sport or cultural activities. There are clubs for such sports as baseball, basketball, football and so on. Clubs for cultural activities include arts, flower arrangement, tea culture and music bands. These club members work hard on their skills.

As soon as a new school year starts, clubs begin asking for new members. They put up posters around the school and try to persuade (说服) new students to join. For students who have just entered the school, so many choices can be difficult to choose. So a few days after they come to the new school, different clubs hold a meeting to explain (解释) their activities and aims.

Clubs always come up with interesting ways of getting new students to join. For example, the art clubs hold an exhibition of works by club members, while the music bands hold a concert. The eighth and ninth graders spend a lot of time every year trying to persuade new students to join.

（2021·江苏·南京师范大学附属苏州石湖中学八年级期中）Susannah was a shy but clever girl. She couldn’t see too well and had worn glasses for as long as she could remember. And again, for as long as she could remember, some of her classmates always made fun of her big glasses, laughed at her and called her names（起外号）.

The worst thing was that Lewis started to call her “Four Eyes”. She acted like she didn’t mind, but in fact, she couldn’t stand it. She was sad.

One day, the class went to visit some caves（山洞）. The children were walking towards the caves, when Lewis put his foot in a hole and fell down into it. While falling, he knocked Susan down into the hole, too. It was dark. All that could be seen was only a single ray of light coming from the cave roof. Susan and Lewis shouted for help, but no one came. In the cold dark cave, they spent a long dark night.

The next morning, they still hadn’t been found. Suddenly, Susan had an idea. She took a piece of wood. Then she used her glasses as a magnifying glass（放大镜）and focused（使聚焦）the ray of light onto the dry wood until a little fire sprang up（突然出现）. Now they had a torch（火炬）. Lewis watched all this with excitement. They used the torch to find the way out.

After getting out of the cave, Lewis lowered his head and said in a low voice, “thank you for saving me, and sorry for calling you ‘Four Eyes’ before”. Later, Lewis told everyone what had happened and called Susan “Laser Light（激光）Susan.” Guess what? Susan loved that name!

（2021·江苏·南通市启秀中学八年级期末）Have you ever thought about one question: Why do we need to learn Math?

It is an interesting question, kids around the world have been asking it for years. For US student, they may get the answer from a new exhibition called. “Math Alive!”47 activities are designed to teach kids how Math is used in everyday life. For example, at one exhibiting(展览) station, visitors test that a person' s arm span（臂展）equals their height. At another exhibition station, visitors can control the robot with the help of Math skills.

The exhibition will visit fifteen US and international cities in the next five years. Organizers（组织者）say they want more kids to learn why Math is important in daily life. Think of simple things, like clocks. They tell time, but only if you know how to read them. That means using Math. How much longer until school ends? How long did you sleep last night? That's all Math, too.

When you go shopping, you also do lots of Math. How much change would you get if you paid for a RMB 25.99 sweater with two twenties? How would you calculate a 30% discount（折扣）? Even when you're not doing Math, it's all around you. The computer you use to surf the Internet is a machine to do binary（二进制）Math very fast.

So enjoy Math, not for exam, but for the wonderful world it helps to build.
