Happy Rain on a Spring Night— Du Fu Good rain knows its time right; It will fall when comes spring. With wind it steals in night; Mute, it moistens each thing. Over wild lanes dark cloud spreads; In boat a lantern looms. Dawn sees saturated reds; The town’s heavy with blooms. （Translated by Xu Yuanchong） Note: steal 偷偷移动； moisten 使……润湿; lane 小路； spread 扩散，传播；loom 逼近；bloom (常指供观赏的)花
This famous poem, with four couplets(诗句的“联”), was written by Du Fu（712—770, Tang Dynasty）when he was living and farming in Chengdu.

When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known.
In the third couplet, the poet describes a peaceful scene（景象）to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.

（2021·河北保定·八年级期中）Dear Wang Wei,
I was glad to get your letter last Sunday. You told me about the weather in your country. Here in Canada we have four seasons in a year, too. But in spring, it is usually cold in most parts of the country. It comes in February. We can still go skating in some places.
Summer is usually cooler than that in China. Early in the morning, it is cold and we usually wear sweaters.
Autumn is a warm season and it is the harvest(收获)time in Canada. Farmers are usually busy working on the farm. In autumn, Canadians like to watch maples in the parks or on the hills. They are really beautiful.
Winter is the coldest season of the year. It is often quite cold. There is thick(厚的)ice on the rivers and lakes. Children like to go skating there. Of course, they should wear warm, thick coats, or they will catch a cold.
I have to stop now. Please write back soon. All the best!
Yours,
Helen

（2020·福建省惠安荷山中学八年级竞赛）If you find yourself feeling a little less cheerful than you were when days are going from summer to autumn, it’s not your imagination: there is a science-backed reason you feel unhappy easily in the cooler months.
“It’s real,” said Kathryn Roecklein. “The changes don’t always affect everyone in the same way,” she added. “But seasonal mood changes often include less energy, feeling less social, losing interest in favorite activities and changes in sleep — you may have trouble sleeping or want to sleep more than usual.”
There are a lot of reasons why our moods change with the season, but a big factor (因素) is ______. “The hours of day, which are shortest in winter and longest in summer, are the main reason.” Roecklein said. Sunsets are getting earlier and earlier when autumn begins, so it’s not surprising if you feel those mood changes around the same time.
We should remember that “winter blues” is not something we cannot overcome (克服). Here are a few things you can do. First, get yourself bathed in the sun. A walk outside in the sun in the morning will surely make you feel better. Secondly, eat healthily. Try more fruit, vegetables and drink plenty of water. Besides, make time for your friends. A good chat with your best friends makes your day.
32．What can we know from the second paragraph
A．Changes in sleep mean you want to sleep more.
B．What activities lead you to seasonal mood changes.
C．Your favourite activities make you less social.
D．What problems you may have with seasonal mood changes.
33．Which of the following is the most suitable word for the blank in Paragraph 3
A．wind B．light C．time D．food
34．What does the underlined phrase “winter blues” mean in Paragraph 4
A．Feeling sad in winter. B．Loving blue thick clothes.
C．Painting houses blue in winter. D．Listening to blues in winter.
35．What is the writer’s advice to deal with “winter blue”
a. walk in the sun b. take a bath often c. meeting their friends d. eat less vegetables e. drinking more water
A．a, b, c B．b, c, d C．a, c, d D．a, c, e

When a student from a warm country comes to England in autumn for the first time, he feels cold at first. There are often dark clouds, grey sky and cold rain in England in autumn, and most students from warm countries do not like this.
But snow is different. Though it is cold, it is also beautiful. Perhaps, after several dark mornings, the students wakes up one day, and there is a lot of light in his room.

（2022·河北·青龙满族自治县教师发展中心八年级期末）There are five children talking about the seasons.
Tony: I like winter because I live in Israel. In winter it’s rather warm and sometimes it gets even close to 30℃, but never as hot and wet as in summer.
Bill: Summer is the best, by far. I like the heat, the beach and the sunshine. I spend lots of time outdoors in summer. Winter is the worst, I think, as there is nothing good but cold.
Rose: Any season is okay but winter. I hate cold; I hate snow; and I really hate having to wear a coat. In winter everything is white and gray. I miss the green.
Emma: In spring, temperatures are nice. I’m excited to fish because winter is gone. I also like summer because I can go swimming in my big pool.

（2021·河北保定·八年级期中）Dear Wang Wei,
I was glad to get your letter last Sunday. You told me about the weather in your country. Here in Canada we have four seasons in a year, too. But in spring, it is usually cold in most parts of the country. It comes in February. We can still go skating in some places.
Summer is usually cooler than that in China. Early in the morning, it is cold and we usually wear sweaters.
Autumn is a warm season and it is the harvest(收获)time in Canada. Farmers are usually busy working on the farm. In autumn, Canadians like to watch maples in the parks or on the hills. They are really beautiful.
Winter is the coldest season of the year. It is often quite cold. There is thick(厚的)ice on the rivers and lakes. Children like to go skating there. Of course, they should wear warm, thick coats, or they will catch a cold.
I have to stop now. Please write back soon. All the best!
Yours,
Helen

（2020·福建省惠安荷山中学八年级竞赛）If you find yourself feeling a little less cheerful than you were when days are going from summer to autumn, it’s not your imagination: there is a science-backed reason you feel unhappy easily in the cooler months.
“It’s real,” said Kathryn Roecklein. “The changes don’t always affect everyone in the same way,” she added. “But seasonal mood changes often include less energy, feeling less social, losing interest in favorite activities and changes in sleep — you may have trouble sleeping or want to sleep more than usual.”
There are a lot of reasons why our moods change with the season, but a big factor (因素) is ______. “The hours of day, which are shortest in winter and longest in summer, are the main reason.” Roecklein said. Sunsets are getting earlier and earlier when autumn begins, so it’s not surprising if you feel those mood changes around the same time.
We should remember that “winter blues” is not something we cannot overcome (克服). Here are a few things you can do. First, get yourself bathed in the sun. A walk outside in the sun in the morning will surely make you feel better. Secondly, eat healthily. Try more fruit, vegetables and drink plenty of water. Besides, make time for your friends. A good chat with your best friends makes your day.
32．What can we know from the second paragraph
A．Changes in sleep mean you want to sleep more.
B．What activities lead you to seasonal mood changes.
C．Your favourite activities make you less social.
D．What problems you may have with seasonal mood changes.
33．Which of the following is the most suitable word for the blank in Paragraph 3
A．wind B．light C．time D．food
34．What does the underlined phrase “winter blues” mean in Paragraph 4
A．Feeling sad in winter. B．Loving blue thick clothes.
C．Painting houses blue in winter. D．Listening to blues in winter.
35．What is the writer’s advice to deal with “winter blue”
