8、It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few  1  . On their faces was confidence. This was their   2  exam—then on to graduation and jobs.

 Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they3   get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt   4   and able to take control of the world.

 The coming exam, they know, would be a（n）   5   task, as the professor had said they could bring    6   books and notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 7       each other during the exam.

 8   they entered the classroom. .The professor passed out the papers. And smiles   9   on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.

 Three hours had passed   10   the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Paper in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.

 He looked at the   11  faces before him and then asked, “How many completed all five questions ?”  12   a hand was raised .

 “How many answered four?” Still no hand.

 “Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.

 “One, then?” Certainly somebody finished   13   . But the class remained silent.

 The professor put down the paper. “That is exactly what I   14  .” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are   15    many things about the   16   you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in everyday   17  .” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all   18   this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just   19  .”

 The years have weakened the name of the professor, but not the   20   he taught.

7、About Sports

 All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep healthy, happy and help them to live longer.

 Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activities. The Arab use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports, too.

 Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.

 Some sports or games go back to thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time.

 People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person’s character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace（體面）.

6、Every country has its heroes. They may be soldiers, sports people, doctors or film stars. We admire them for their courage, their strength, or their devotion to duty .Their examples inspire us to live better and to work harder.

Terry Fox was a young student who loved life. He was a sports fan. When he was just 18 years old, a terrible event happened: his right leg had to be cut off because of cancer. Such an experience would have destroyed a weaker person—but Terry Fox was a fighter. He refused to give up. Instead, while he was recovering from the operation, an idea slowly formed in his mind. He decided he would run across Canada, in order to raise money for cancer research.

Slowly and carefully, he began to train. Every step was extremely painful, but he insisted on increasing the distance covered day by day. Sixteen months later, in the spring of 1980, he was ready for the long journey across Canada—his Marathon of Hope. His every step was extremely painful ,but he insisted on increasing the distance covered day by day. It was a time of inspiration and heart-breaking emotion. Through television, every home saw his particular way of running, a kind of half-hop and half-run. Thousands of people lined the route to encourage him and to wish him well. They also gave him money to fight cancer. Then, on Sep. 1st, 1980, after 143 days and more than 5,000 kilometers completed, everything came to an end. Terry had to stop. He lived on for another nine months and died on June 18 th, 1981. He was almost 23.

5、We all have to eat, but choosing the right foods can be hard. Many people also have trouble controlling how much they eat.

 Instead of eating a reasonable quantity of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and other healthy foods, lots of people eat too many hamburgers, cookies and chips. Many people just eat too much food in general.

 One result is the spread of obesity, which has enlarged the waistlines of millions of adults and kids. The increase in obesity has led to an increase in the number of people with diabetes（糖尿�。�, heart disease, cancer and other diseases.

 But for many other people, food has become their enemy. They worry so much about getting fat that they either severely limit what they eat or make themselves throw up right after eating. Doctors say that these people have eating disorders.

 Eating disorders among teens are far less common than obesity, yet the health problems of eating disorders can be just as serious as obesity.

 Not eating enough can lead to heart attacks, weak bones,, organ damage and fainting spells. Repeatedly throwing up causes chemical imbalances in the body, makes your teeth weak and destroys stomach lining （胃粘膜）.

 Researchers are doing research on what causes certain people to develop eating disorders, why some people are more in danger than in others, and what kind of education programs work best to prevent people from doing dangerous things to lose weight to stay slim.

 “It’s important to learn how to recognize signs of eating disorders in yourself, your family members and your friends,” a doctor says, “because research shows that getting treatment early is the key to a quick recovery.”

4、It is very possible for a person with a disability to get a job. Depending on the type of disability a person has, there are many positions available. Of course, he must be realistic in choosing a job . If he has a physical disability, he should look for a job in which he can use his skills and abilities.

 Some larger companies have programs for hiring people with disabilities. It is a good idea to get into touch with them, as they are much more enthusiastic to hiring people with disabilities due to their positive past experiences. Some disability-supporting groups may have lists of companies that have been helpful in the past, have a history of hiring disabled people or know of some working positions that are open to disabled people.

 When talking with an employer about the job, one must be very honest. He should tell the employer about his disability. It is also important to know whether there are any sorts of tools or new technology that could help a person with disability do a job. For instance, when working with computers, there is a special software that allows one to tell it what to write instead of having to type it. Or a new type of wheelchair that allows one to do his job easier would also be a very good investment as it may be the key to getting a job. It is very important for a disabled person to realize that he should not suffer mistreatment of any kind from the employer. Although his abilities are slightly different from the majority of other working people, there is no reason for one to be treated badly. He should ask for a fair salary and fair treatment.

1. According to the writer’s opinion, if a person with disability wants to get a job, he should choose a job ______.

3、根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

 1. Being angry doesn’t really solve much, but what people do when they feel angry is important. The goal is to calm down and try to solve what is bothering you. This is hard for some kids and adults, too. Instead of calming down, some kids might keep getting more and more upset until they explode like a volcano（火山）!

 2. Their anger might be so strong that they lose control of their temper. They may act in ways unacceptable and hurtful. People may say that someone has trouble controlling their temper.

 3.Some kids might get so angry that they scream at their parents, break something, or even worse, hit their brothers or sisters.   

4. However, it’s not OK for a kid to do any of those things. Kids don’t want to act in this way, but sometimes angry feelings can be hard to manage. So what to do?

 Well, the good news is that kids don't just have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again.   

5. Imagine your temper as a puppy inside you that needs some training. The puppy is not bad— it will probably turn out a great dog. It just needs to learn some rules because, right now, that puppy is causing some problems to you.

 Our class hold a class meeting to discuss whether it is good or not for middle school students to surf the Internet. As the development of society, computers are used widely nowadays. Surfing the Internet is only a good way we can get more informations but also it is convenient to communicate with others. Therefore, not all the students agree to this opinion. They think it is harmful to spend much time play computer games. It is really waste of time and money, that has a bad effect on us. In my opinion we should limit our time of surfing the Internet as middle school student.
