He has mastered the skill of making engine cylinders (气缸). “There are over 100 holes in an engine cylinder,” Yang said. “We must be very accurate (精确的)—less than 0.015 millimeter. That is the standard for me and my team.”
In 2007, he took the college entrance examination, and chose to study numerical control technology at college. After leaving college, Yang joined the research and development department at FAW.

After work, he would stay on in the workshop to practice until midnight. It only took him two years to get the title of FAW Group Technical Expert.
At the beginning of 2020, Yang became a trainer. He is now teaching young workers and coaching them for competitions. He has trained about 700 people. Some of them have won awards, including 23 at the national level.

①RVs (旅行房车) are a great way to tour the country and see the sights, but thanks to one father-daughter team, they’ve helped people who’ve lost their homes in California’s latest wildfires.
②The idea of Woody Faircloth, EmergencyRV Organization connects people who are willing to donate their RVs to those in need. So far, Faircloth with his daughter Luna along for the ride — has sent 95 RVs to California area wildfire victims (受害者). Otherwise they might wait months for emergency housing (应急居所).
③Faircloth first got the idea for the organization in 2018. Like many that year, the father was touched by the news of California’s deadly Camp Fire that burnt hundreds of homes during Thanksgiving week. The story of a man who lost almost everything but managed to survive the fire in his mobile home impressed Faircloth. Then he asked Luna what she thought about finding an RV and sending it to a family, so they could have a place to call home for Christmas, and she was 100% on board.
④Faircloth started a GoFundMe activity to provide money for the first RV that he and Luna sent to California. As the news of their journey spread, people started reaching out to him, offering to donate their RVs — and from there, EmergencyRV Organization soon formed. All the people think what Faircloth did will make a difference to those in need. It’s hoped that these donations can help more people.
⑤Many of those who receive mobile homes are firefighters. Their tireless work in fighting the fire did not prevent their own homes from burning. One such man is George Wolley who lost his own home in the Dixie Fire on August 4th. He said, “Before I got that RV, I felt like I was a burden (负担) on everybody that helped me... I slept a lot in tents and in my car. It gave me a place to go.”
⑥Faircloth’s organization continues to grow. He’s thankful for the many things he has and happy to be in a position to help others.
41. EmergencyRV Organization was started to ________.
A. teach people ways to prevent fires B. raise money to buy emergency cars
C. provide housing for wildfire victims D. collect and sell second-hand cars
42. What gave Faircloth the idea to set up the organization
A. His interview with a man surviving a fire. B. The news about a terrible fire.
C. His own experience of a wildfire. D. Donations from people to victims.
43. How did people feel about Faircloth’s behaviour
A Angry. B. Excited. C. Worried. D. Hopeful.
44. Why was Wolley mentioned (提及) in the text
A. To explain the danger of wildfires. B. To introduce the work of firefighters.
C. To show the burden on car owners. D. To give an example of RVs’ receiver.
45. What’s the proper structure (结构) for the passage (① — Paragraph 1, ② — Paragraph 2...)
A. B.
C. D.

①RVs (旅行房车) are a great way to tour the country and see the sights, but thanks to one father-daughter team, they’ve helped people who’ve lost their homes in California’s latest wildfires.
②The idea of Woody Faircloth, EmergencyRV Organization connects people who are willing to donate their RVs to those in need. So far, Faircloth with his daughter Luna along for the ride — has sent 95 RVs to California area wildfire victims (受害者). Otherwise they might wait months for emergency housing (应急居所).
③Faircloth first got the idea for the organization in 2018. Like many that year, the father was touched by the news of California’s deadly Camp Fire that burnt hundreds of homes during Thanksgiving week. The story of a man who lost almost everything but managed to survive the fire in his mobile home impressed Faircloth. Then he asked Luna what she thought about finding an RV and sending it to a family, so they could have a place to call home for Christmas, and she was 100% on board.
④Faircloth started a GoFundMe activity to provide money for the first RV that he and Luna sent to California. As the news of their journey spread, people started reaching out to him, offering to donate their RVs — and from there, EmergencyRV Organization soon formed. All the people think what Faircloth did will make a difference to those in need. It’s hoped that these donations can help more people.
⑤Many of those who receive mobile homes are firefighters. Their tireless work in fighting the fire did not prevent their own homes from burning. One such man is George Wolley who lost his own home in the Dixie Fire on August 4th. He said, “Before I got that RV, I felt like I was a burden (负担) on everybody that helped me... I slept a lot in tents and in my car. It gave me a place to go.”
⑥Faircloth’s organization continues to grow. He’s thankful for the many things he has and happy to be in a position to help others.
41. EmergencyRV Organization was started to ________.
A. teach people ways to prevent fires B. raise money to buy emergency cars
C. provide housing for wildfire victims D. collect and sell second-hand cars
42. What gave Faircloth the idea to set up the organization
A. His interview with a man surviving a fire. B. The news about a terrible fire.
C. His own experience of a wildfire. D. Donations from people to victims.
43. How did people feel about Faircloth’s behaviour
A Angry. B. Excited. C. Worried. D. Hopeful.
44. Why was Wolley mentioned (提及) in the text
A. To explain the danger of wildfires. B. To introduce the work of firefighters.
C. To show the burden on car owners. D. To give an example of RVs’ receiver.
45. What’s the proper structure (结构) for the passage (① — Paragraph 1, ② — Paragraph 2...)

Understanding Graphics（图表）
When we are reading, we often see one or two graphics in a text. Have you ever thought about these questions: Why are they there What information do they give Do they help with our reading and understanding
Graphics are things like pictures, maps, charts and tables. They give information to readers. Very often, we can see different kinds of graphics in books, magazines and newspapers.

Dear Ryan,
It’s great to hear from you. I have a happy and meaningful school life in Grade 8. I can take part in different kinds of activities with our friends at school. At the same time, we are busy with our study. So I often feel tired as well as excited.
I want to make a detailed plan to make good use of my summer holiday. First, I will join a study group to help me study more efficiently. Group members will work together to finish the schoolwork and do a lot of reading. Second, I would like to pay a visit to Shanghai Disneyland for about 3 days because I am a big fan of Mickey Mouse and Snow White. Third, I will do some voluntary work for my community center, such as caring for the kids in the neighbourhood.
