Once upon a time,a hippo (河馬)lived in a river next to a big tree.

One day,a bird came and nested (筑巢)in the tree.The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy (羨慕)that he couldn’t think of anything else.Every day he would think why he wasn’t born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.

Finally,the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river,climb the tree and start singing.However,when he tried to climb the tree,it was very clear that the hippo didn’t have wings,nor claws to climb with.

Realizing that he would never climb up the tree,he angrily hit the tree until it came crashing to the ground.Then he stepped onto the leaves of the fallen tree,and began singing.

Unfortunately,hippos can’t sing,either.All that came from his mouth were terrible noises,and when the other animals heard this,they all came around to make fun of the hippo.

He was so ashamed by this.He also felt bad about having knocked the tree over.He used all his strength to raise the tree back up again,and look after it until it completely recovered.(康復(fù)).

Heritage (遺產(chǎn)) is traditional customs, history and beliefs. We use the word “heritage” in many different ways. People talk about their family heritage, city heritage and national heritage.

Today, heritage is changing. The Internet connects people around the world. In many ways this is a good thing, because we can learn about the heritage of other countries, and we can show our own heritage to the world. However, some people worry that traditional heritage is disappearing. In many ways, countries are becoming more and more alike(相似的).In most countries around the world, you can find KFC. Nike shoes, Starbucks coffee. American movies and so on. Some people think this is a good change, and others don’t like it. You can decide whether or not it's a good thing.

However, everyone wants to protect traditional heritage, and sometimes this is hard. For example, when a new KFC opens in your city, a traditional restaurant might have to close.

That is why heritage protection is so important. Heritage protection is a simple thought. It means keeping your country's or your city's heritage alive. People do this in many ways. The biggest part of heritage protection is probably preserving (保護)old buildings. Some suggestions of heritage protection are making sure your kids speak your traditional language, and teaching knowledge about heritage to them.

The world is changing. No matter how it changes, never forget the heritage of our parents and grandparents.

科目:初中英語 來源:吉林省2018年中考英語試卷 題型:回答問題

Alice is a college student and in her internship(實習(xí)期)now. Last month, she bought a scarf which she really liked. It cost her more than 50 dollars. It’s not cheap, but it made her happy, because she had dreamed of having one for a long time.

Every morning, when she puts on her new scarf, she feels so happy that it seems the whole day is full of hope. Alice has been used to rewarding (獎勵)herself through shopping. This hobby also drives her to work hard and makes her life keep getting better.

But her mother, Mrs. Miller thinks quite differently. When Mrs. Miller knew the price of Alice’s new scarf, they started to argue with each other and the argument (爭執(zhí))lasted for almost a whole day. Her mother thought that she shouldn't spend so much money on it, while Alice thought her mother didn't understand her at all.

But Alice didn't know that her mother’s life was very hard. When Mrs. Miller was very young, she could not find enough clothes to wear in winter. She needed to learn how to spend every penny(便士,貨幣單位)as if it were two so that she could survive(生存).

It ’ s just natural that two people can’t understand each other because they have different experiences. Then, how can we change the situation? Try to be patient with the people around you. Try to get to know them. And try to stand in their shoes. If Alice follows the advice,I think she will get on well with her mother.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,回答下列問題。

1.How much did the scarf cost Alice?

2.How has Alice been used to rewarding herself?

3.When did Mrs. Miller start to argue with Alice?

4.Did Alice’s mother have an easy life when she was young?

5.How many pieces of advice does the writer give Alice?

1.More than fifty dollars. /More than 50 dollars. / She paid more than 50 dollars for it. /It cost her more than 50 dollars. / She spent more than 50 dollars on/buying it 2.Through/By shoppin...
