Dear Mrs. Smart,

My daughter Kate has trouble with her subjects. She has lost interest in her lessons. As the new term is coming, she becomes mad easily. She feels as if she has fallen into a hole and doesn't know how to climb back out. She is in Grade 8 and she is clever. What should I do? I don't want to nag(唠叨) her again because she said I kept asking her to do things.

Linda

Dear Linda,

Many girls become tired easily when the school year arrives. It's a very common problem. Remember, they are still kids. They can't think as much as we can. I think your daughter is clever enough to work well. But nagging is bad for you and her. Your daughter is sure to know what to do. If she can't do what you hope, you should give her rules. It is really important for her to respect (尊重) rules in the family.

Do you hope to do a lot of homework every evening? Are you interested in your classes? Who do you want to teach you? Maybe you have lots of questions in your mind before school starts. Well, I want to give you some good advice on these problems.

First, keep calm (冷静的). Don't worry about all the questions you have. Put your heart into learning and you can find something you are interested in. Do it actively.

Second, try your best to finish your homework quickly. Don't spend a lot of time on it. Do more reading or writing in English. Think about the problems you have and solve them at once. Don't stay up late, or you can't study well the next day.

Third, find the right way for you to study. If you can remember the words in your own way, you can tell your teachers you don't like the way of copying them again and again. Be sure you can pass the test. I think your teachers will agree with you. And they can give you something interesting to do.

"Are you listening, Simon?" Simon's teacher asked.It was a pretty usual question.

Simon shook his head(摇头), smiling.He hardly listened or tried hard in class.Talking was so much fun.He wanted to be heard rather than listen.

"Listen, and you'll learn something," Mrs.Jacobs tried every day, but Simon never paid attention.

That evening, his throat really hurt.The next morning, when he opened his mouth to say "Good morning", nothing came out but a croak(低沉沙哑的声音).

Simon's mother looked at him."Honey, you've lost your voice."

"Can I stay home?" he tried to ask, but words didn't come out.Instead, his mother checked him for a fever and decided it was good for him to go to school, even if he couldn't talk.

When he got to school, Mrs.Jacobs said "Hello" to him, and he just nodded(点头).When his friends asked him what TV shows he watched last night, he just shrugged(耸肩).By the time the bell rang for class, almost everyone was looking at him as if he'd grown a third eye.

Penny raised her hand."Mrs.Jacobs, why isn't Simon talking?"

"He never stops talking," Richard said worriedly.

Everyone started talking at once.They were excited, worried, and surprised.

Simon sat in class, bored.He watched them talk to each other as if the teacher wasn't there, but he couldn't even do that.In maths class he could hold up fingers if the answer was less than 10, but that wasn't fun. He decided to try to pay attention.

He could do his homework that night.It gave him TV and game time with his work all done.

The next day, even though his voice was coming back, he stayed quiet again.The third day, he could talk fine, but he listened and raised his hand to speak.

What a difference that day made!

Dear Neil,

I'm very glad to hear from you. You want to know about my life in Grade 8. Now I'd like to tell you something about my favourite subject. My teacher, Mr. Rivera has some ways to make us interested in his classes. I like his classes very much. Once, he gave the class homework to do — to watch the weather report on TV every night for a week. Mr. Rivera told us what to listen to as we watched each night's report. He also gave us worksheets (记录表) to fill out.

Mr. Rivera said if we looked at the large weather map carefully, we could also know about the weather. He told us that we might see a large blue line (线) or a large red line on the map. There might be both a blue line and a red line. He said that a blue line shows there is dry weather in that place. A red line shows there is wet weather. When blue and red lines meet, there may be stormy weather on the way.

On the worksheet there was a box to fill in with the expected (预料的) high temperature for the next day. There were three boxes to check if it was expected to rain, or to be cloudy, or to be windy.

I watched the weather report and filled out the worksheet each night. I found that the next day was usually a lot like the report said it would be. It was so interesting. I liked the homework.

Best wishes,

 Anthony

31.How many nights did the students need to watch the weather report?

A. One. B. Three. C. Five. D. Seven.

32.What's Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. How to give a weather report.

B. What to do for the weatherman.

C. How to look at a weather map.

D. What to learn from the weatherman.

33.What might (可能) the worksheet be like?

34.If one day Anthony found a blue line was next to a red line on the weather map, what might the weather be like the next day?

A. Sunny.   B. Windy.

C. Cloudy.      D. Stormy.

35.What subject might Mr. Rivera teach?

A. Geography.  B. Biology.

C. History.      D. English.

四、任务型阅读

Reading for pleasure is the easiest way to become a better reader in English. It is also the most important way.

Some students say they don't want to read for pleasure. They say they want to use their time to learn the rules of the language and new words. They say that pleasure reading is too easy.

Many experts (专家) say pleasure reading is very important for learning English. Dr. Stephen Krashen, a famous expert on learning languages,says that pleasure reading helps you learn many important things about English. Students learn more grammar and more words when they read for pleasure. They also learn more about good writing.

Reading for pleasure helps each student in a different way. Each student needs to learn something different. Pleasure reading makes it possible for each student to learn what he or she needs.

Reading for pleasure is not the same as studying. When you read for pleasure, you choose your own books,and you don't have to remember everything. There are no tests on your pleasure reading books. Pleasure reading will help you: 

●learn how English speakers use English;

●read faster in English;

●find examples of good writing in English;

●learn new words;

●learn about the cultures of English speakers.

Dear Susan,

Thank you for your e-mail. I'm fine and I like my new school. Every day I have seven classes, four classes in the morning and three in the afternoon. I like history and English best, because I think they are interesting and useful. I like maths too, but it's a little difficult for me.  

At school, I have a good friend. Her name is Zhang Li. She is a nice girl and she does well in maths, so she often helps me with my maths. After school, we like to play ping-pong for an hour. It's really relaxing!

Yours,

Li Jing
