Enjoy Reading, Enjoy Life
Reading has become a part of our life. It can not only open our minds, but also make us relaxed and knowledgeable. Our study can be improved if we read more good books.
Many students have difficulty in reading. Some students don’t like reading, because they think it’s boring. Some students have no time to read. They think reading is a waste of time.
In my opinion, we can learn a lot of interesting things from books as long as we keep reading. We can read anywhere, such as taking a bus and taking a plane. Books are our friends, so let’s read them from now on.八年级（下）阶段测评

What’s the best thing to eat on a hot summer day Quite a few people will say it is ice-cream. Yes, eating ice-cream with some fruit is a good way to cool down.
But think before you eat. If your body is hot from playing sports, it’s not the best time to eat ice-cream. If you eat ice-cream when your body is hot, it may give your stomach some problems, and you may get diarrhea(腹泻). You can eat some ice-cream after you cool down or have some tea. Just try not to eat too much at a time!
People shouldn’t eat or drink anything cold just after dinner. If you want to stay cool and healthy, oranges, bananas and pears can help.
In summer, germs (细菌) grow very fast and food goes bad easily. You should eat clean and fresh food. When you want to eat a cold dish, put some vinegar(醋) to disinfect (杀菌) it. If you can’t finish your food and want to eat it again next day, you should heat it enough to kill the germs in it.

Once upon a time there lived a great storyteller whose stories gave both children and adults a lot of pleasure and enjoyment. He told a story about an emperor who loved new clothes and about a tiny girl who was no taller than a person’s thumb (拇指).
That storyteller’s name was Hans Christian Andersen. He was born in Denmark. He wrote more than 150 stories, which are told in many countries. He became the first author to write and publish his own fairy tales. Andersen grew up poor. His father was a shoe－maker, and his mother could hardly read. Andersen once said, “Most of what I have written is a reflection of myself.” His fairy tale, The Ugly Duckling, about a duckling that is laughed by other animals until it grows up to be a swan (天鹅), was written according to his own experience as a child. His other famous fairy tales include The Little Match Girl, The Daughter of the Sea and The Snow Queen.
Andersen’s fans celebrated the anniversary (周年纪念日) of his 200th birthday in 2005.
People are told his fairy tales in many countries. They organized different kinds of celebrations to remind people of Andersen and Andersen’s fairy tales.
In Denmark, 15-foot-tall puppets(木偶) danced in mid -air every night from May until September. In Singapore, the post office published a series (系列) of Andersen stamps. And in Egypt, the library in Alexandria showed Andersen’s books, which were translated into 150 languages! In New York City’s Central Park, storyteller Ellen Shapiro told The Real Princess to a crowd of children.
“Andersen’s stories have everything,” Shapiro told the reporter. “They are funny and sad and enjoyable. I never get tired of them.”
Storytellers such as Shapiro love continuing Andersen’s tradition. Shapiro doesn’t memorize her favorite stories, however. Instead, she learns what happens at the beginning, middle, and end. She changes the words of a story to fit the listeners. So no two tellings of a story are exactly alike.
