Dear Tom, In the world, there are always many people who live better than us. For example, they have nicer houses or better jobs. Even in your case, they eat out more often than you. It’s very common that we always want what we don’t have, but instead, to appreciate (感激) what we have now is the most important for us. In fact, the fast food in McDonald’s or KFC is harmful to people’s bodies. It will make you become fat. A fat student may take a high risk of some diseases. On the other hand, eating at home is quite good for your growth. According to research, the one who often eats at home can get more happiness than the one who often eats out. Besides, a true friend makes friends with you just because of who you are. He doesn’t care about whether you are rich or not.

（2022秋·广东深圳·九年级深圳中学校考期中）After leaving school for many years, a group of students visited their teacher. All of them complained about problems and stress in their work and life.
The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large bottle of coffee and many kinds of cups—china, plastic and glass. He told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the teacher said, “If you noticed, all the nice-looking and expensive cups had been taken, but the simple and cheap ones had been left behind. Although it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the cause of your problems and stress. In fact, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. It is just a tool to hold what we drink.”
What all of them really wanted was coffee, not the cups, but they all went for the best cups. And then they began to watch others’ cups. Life is the coffee; jobs, money and the social position are the cups. The cups we have do not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, if we only pay attention to the cup, we will fail to enjoy the coffee.
The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

The Jiangxi government have taken some measures to protect finless porpoises (江豚) which are also called the “smiling angel”. This kind of animals are facing serious changes in their living environment because Poyang Lake—China’s largest freshwater lake has entered the dry season 100 days earlier.
A Yangtze finless porpoise was first seen in Poyang Lake, Jiangxi Province in 2018. The number of this animal has decreased to 1,012 in 2017, with 457 living in Poyang Lake. However, as the water level fell to less than 12 meters in August, the lake entered this year’s dry season the earliest since records began in 1951.
Last weekend, a traveler to the shoreline of Poyang Lake, posted a video showing the dead body of a finless porpoise on a dry riverbed. The other six finless porpoises have been found dead during the past five years. Zhou Wei, a science writer, said: “The reduction of water makes the finless porpoises swim to the deep water of the lake.” This situation has increased the propoises’ risk of hitting by boats working on the lake. Extremely dry weather will also affect the reproduction (繁殖) of fish in the following year, which may result in a food shortage. He told that the propoises give birth in spring and autumn, so now it is an important period to feed newborns.
Wang Liang, who was from the Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Jiangxi said that the province had released a total of 200 million fish and crabs into the water to enrich the food supply. Meanwhile, “More than 2,000 volunteers have been invited to protect and rescue the species,” he added.

（2022秋·广东广州·九年级广州市培正中学校考期中）As we know, Archimedes was a great scientist. He was one of the greatest minds in history. It is said that he once used a very large mirror, or a set of mirrors to set fire to Roman ships attacking his home city of Syracuse. He also helped King Hiero solve the problem of the golden crown easily without destroying it. He liked studying the world around and trying a lot to find out the truth. Here is a story about him.
One day, when he was walking in the street, he saw a thin girl getting a big bucket (圆桶) of water from a well without difficulty. He then watched and thought it over. After studying this for a long time, he got the famous conclusion—the law of the lever. He then said to the king, “Give me a place to stand and I will move the earth.” The king didn’t believe him and asked him to support his idea by pulling a huge warship into the river by himself. Archimedes first set up an operating crank (操作曲柄) by the bank. He then put a group of pulley blocks between it and the warship. Later he could pull the warship into the river by moving the operating crank. From then on, the king trusted him and asked everyone to trust him.
In fact, Archimedes just used some leverage (杠杆力) in this experiment. Besides this, he also made a lot of advanced weapons, which helped him protect his nation and his people in many wars. What a great scientist he was!

（2021秋·广东深圳·九年级深圳外国语学校校考期中）One evening Mr. Green was driving along a lonely country road. He had been to London where he drew 1000 from the bank, and he was returning home with the money which he had put in his pocketbook.
At the loneliest part of the road, a man in shabby, badly-fitting clothes stopped him and asked for a lift. Mr. Green told him to get into the car and continued on his way. As he talked to the man, he learned that he had been in prison for robbery and had just broken out of prison two days ago. Mr. Green was very worried at the thought of the 1000 in his pocketbook. Suddenly he saw a police car and had a bright idea. He had just reached a small town where the speed limit was 30 miles an hour. He pressed down the accelerator and drove the car as fast as it would go. He looked back and saw the police car chasing him. Soon it caught up and ordered him to stop. Mr. Green had hoped that he could tell the policeman about the escaped robber, but the man took a gun out of his pocket and put it to Mr Green’s back. The policeman took out his notebook and a pencil and said he wanted Mr. Green’s name and address. Mr. Green asked to be taken to the police station but the policeman said, “No, I want your name and address now. You will have to appear at the police court later.” So, Mr. Green gave the policeman his name and address. The policeman wrote it down, put the notebook back in his pocket and gave Mr. Green a talk about dangerous driving.
Then Mr. Green started his car again and drove on. He gave up all hope of his 1000, but just as he reached the outskirts of London, the passenger said he wanted to get out here. Mr. Green stopped the car. The man got out and said, “Thanks for the lift. You’ve been good to me. This is the least I can do in return.” And he handed Mr. Green the policeman’s notebook.

（2022秋·广东广州·九年级校联考期中）Do you feel lonely when your best friend isn’t around Here’s our advice to you-and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around-maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel left out during breaks or lunchtime. You want to make new friends, but how do you find them Maybe it seems like everybody else already has friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.
Start by looking around your classroom-think about which kids you’d like to play with during break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation （欣赏）to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here ” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, may I join you ” or just join in.
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching people up. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Being kind, being friendly, sharing, saying nice things, offering help-pretty soon, you’ll have one, two or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other again, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left. You can introduce him or her to your new friends!

（2022秋·广东广州·九年级执信中学校联考期中）Long ago there lived in the mountains a small dragon named Marvin. Like all the other dragons, Marvin had hard skin, a long tail, wings for flying, and a breath of fire. However, Marvin was different from the others. He was friendly like a dog and smart like an elephant.
Three large dragons, Bord, Brun, and Barg, delighted in scaring and teasing (戏弄) the other animals on the mountain. One day a goat got lost and came to a place where Bord, Brun, and Barg were sitting. The dragons surrounded the goat and began to tease it. They breathed fire at it and burned its wool. They hit it with their long tails. The scared goat was desperate (拼命的) to get away from the three large dragons.
Marvin was flying overhead. He saw what the dragons were doing and landed on a cliff above them. “Excuse me!” Marvin shouted down to the dragons. “Which of you is the strongest dragon ” The other dragons looked up at Marvin.
“The old man with magical powers who lives on the other side of the mountain wants to find the strongest dragon,” answered Marvin. “So which of you is the strongest ”
“I am!” shouted Bord, and he lifted up a huge rock over his head. He swayed under the weight of the rock but held it strong.
“I am!” shouted Brun, and he grabbed the tops of two trees. He bent them towards each other so the tops touched and held them strong.
“I am!” shouted Barg, and he drank all the water out of the mountain lake. His stomach swelled like a balloon, but he held the water strong.
As the three dragons showed their strength, Marvin flew down to the goat and gently picked it up. “Come now, small one,” Marvin said to the goat. “Let us go quickly to the old man and tell him that we have found the three strongest dragons in all the land!”

Dear Mr. Smith, I am a boy from a junior high school. My friends are always taken to eat out in restaurants such as McDonald’s and KFC by their parents. They always talk about how delicious the food is. I feel bad because I haven’t eaten out once. My family is not very rich and I am out of place among them. I am afraid that my friends will not want to make friends with me. Tom
Dear Tom, In the world, there are always many people who live better than us. For example, they have nicer houses or better jobs. Even in your case, they eat out more often than you.

（2022秋·广东深圳·九年级深圳中学校考期中）After leaving school for many years, a group of students visited their teacher. All of them complained about problems and stress in their work and life.
The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large bottle of coffee and many kinds of cups—china, plastic and glass. He told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the teacher said, “If you noticed, all the nice-looking and expensive cups had been taken, but the simple and cheap ones had been left behind. Although it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the cause of your problems and stress. In fact, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. It is just a tool to hold what we drink.”
What all of them really wanted was coffee, not the cups, but they all went for the best cups. And then they began to watch others’ cups. Life is the coffee; jobs, money and the social position are the cups. The cups we have do not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, if we only pay attention to the cup, we will fail to enjoy the coffee.
The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

The Jiangxi government have taken some measures to protect finless porpoises (江豚) which are also called the “smiling angel”. This kind of animals are facing serious changes in their living environment because Poyang Lake—China’s largest freshwater lake has entered the dry season 100 days earlier.
A Yangtze finless porpoise was first seen in Poyang Lake, Jiangxi Province in 2018. The number of this animal has decreased to 1,012 in 2017, with 457 living in Poyang Lake. However, as the water level fell to less than 12 meters in August, the lake entered this year’s dry season the earliest since records began in 1951.
Last weekend, a traveler to the shoreline of Poyang Lake, posted a video showing the dead body of a finless porpoise on a dry riverbed. The other six finless porpoises have been found dead during the past five years. Zhou Wei, a science writer, said: “The reduction of water makes the finless porpoises swim to the deep water of the lake.” This situation has increased the propoises’ risk of hitting by boats working on the lake. Extremely dry weather will also affect the reproduction (繁殖) of fish in the following year, which may result in a food shortage. He told that the propoises give birth in spring and autumn, so now it is an important period to feed newborns.
Wang Liang, who was from the Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Jiangxi said that the province had released a total of 200 million fish and crabs into the water to enrich the food supply. Meanwhile, “More than 2,000 volunteers have been invited to protect and rescue the species,” he added.

B．It encouraged people to give more food.
C．It invited more travelers to look after them.

B．Mother porpoises give birth to the babies every season.
C．Several hundred finless porpoises do not live in the lake.

Being in foreign countries for 12 years, she has a better understanding of both Chinese and Western cultures. She started drawing web comics to help people understand different cultures. Using her pencil, Cao also wants to build a bridge between different cultures.
Tiny Eyes Comics, first created in late 2016, tells the stories of a Chinese girl named Tiny Eyes. Cao has posted more than 300 comics online and they attracted about 41,000 followers. Her comics are about family relationships, food, different ways of thinking and social customs.
This year, COVID-19 has made her realize how important it is to help people from different cultures to communicate with each other. One of her comics shows the cultural differences about wearing masks. To wear or not to wear, that is the question that has been heatedly discussed. In the comics, she explains that Chinese people wear masks to protect themselves from infection, as well as avoiding passing the virus to others.

In her comics, an American girl tells her mother directly that she loves her over the phone; the girl Tiny Eyes expresses her love by asking her beloved ones about their health and buying nice things to make their life more comfortable.

It is said that he once used a very large mirror, or a set of mirrors to set fire to Roman ships attacking his home city of Syracuse. He also helped King Hiero solve the problem of the golden crown easily without destroying it. He liked studying the world around and trying a lot to find out the truth. Here is a story about him.
One day, when he was walking in the street, he saw a thin girl getting a big bucket (圆桶) of water from a well without difficulty. He then watched and thought it over.

He then said to the king, “Give me a place to stand and I will move the earth.” The king didn’t believe him and asked him to support his idea by pulling a huge warship into the river by himself. Archimedes first set up an operating crank (操作曲柄) by the bank. He then put a group of pulley blocks between it and the warship. Later he could pull the warship into the river by moving the operating crank. From then on, the king trusted him and asked everyone to trust him.
In fact, Archimedes just used some leverage (杠杆力) in this experiment. Besides this, he also made a lot of advanced weapons, which helped him protect his nation and his people in many wars. What a great scientist he was!

（2022秋·广东广州·九年级校联考期中）Do you feel lonely when your best friend isn’t around Here’s our advice to you-and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around-maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel left out during breaks or lunchtime. You want to make new friends, but how do you find them Maybe it seems like everybody else already has friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.
Start by looking around your classroom-think about which kids you’d like to play with during break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation （欣赏）to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here ” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, may I join you ” or just join in.
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching people up. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Being kind, being friendly, sharing, saying nice things, offering help-pretty soon, you’ll have one, two or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other again, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left. You can introduce him or her to your new friends!

（2022秋·广东广州·九年级校考期中）Children grew up and went off to university. The mirror, which had reflected a young mom when Indigo first arrived, now showed a woman in late middle age. I had eye problems. I also began to lose my hearing. We all turned gray: me, my husband and the dog.
In August 2022, I took Indigo for one last walk. She was slow and weak. She looked up at me sadly, as if she was saying, “You did say you would take care of me when the time came. You promised, Jenny.” She died that month, a tennis ball by her side. Not long after, I got a call from our dog day care. One of their customers was dying, and her dog, Chloe, needed a home. Given our recent loss, they asked if our family were interested in accepting her. I told them that we were sorry but we wouldn’t be accepting any more dogs. I’d owned quite a few dogs since 1969, each one of them a witness（见证）to a period of my life, but with the loss of Indigo, all that was over. The days of my dogs, I now understood, were done at last.
Then one morning, as I was passing the dog day care in my car, I pulled over. I could at least lay eyes upon this Chloe. What harm could it do She had a soft face and watery eyes. When Chloe entered our house, she was careful, sensitive and uncertain. She spent hours that first day going to every corner, smelling things out. What a curious baby, which was exactly like Indigo the first day at home. Finally, she sat down by the fireplace and gave me a look that said, “If you want, I will stay with you.”
