(22-23八年级下·江苏南通·期中)There was magic in the secret garden that spring and summer. At first, everything turned green. Then the green changed to colours—blue, purple and red. There were flowers everywhere.
Dickon and Mary’s seeds (种子) grew and the roses—the roses! From small buds they grew into large flowers and filled the air with their perfume.
Colin saw it all. He watched the changes as they happened. Dickon pushed his wheelchair to the garden every morning and he spent the day there. Sometimes Colin sat on the grass watching the insects. One day, he watched a mole (鼹鼠) digging a hole. He learnt a lot of things about the ways of these insects and animals. And Dickon taught him about the animals in the wood.
One morning, the children were in the secret garden as usual. When Ben Weatherstaff arrived, Colin said, “Good morning, Ben Weatherstaff. I want you and Dickon and Mary to listen to me because I’m going to tell you something very important.”
“Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff.
“I’m going to do a scientific experiment (科学实验),” he said. “when I grow up, I’m going to make scientific discoveries about magic and I’m going to start with this experiment. Do you understand ”
“Yes, sir!” said Ben Weatherstaff, but he didn’t really understand.
“I believe that there is magic in everything.”continued Colin. “Dickon knows some magic. He charms animals and people. Mary also knows a bit of magic because she was born in India. There’s magic in the garden, too. I’m going to try and put some in me because I want to be well and strong. I’m going to say—Magic is in me! And you must all say it, too. That is my experiment. Are you going to help, Ben Weatherstaff ”
“Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff.
They sat down in a circle. The crow, the fox, the squirrels and the lamb were very curious.
“Now, let’s begin,” Colin said, and they all started chanting (吟唱).
“Magic is in me. Magic is in me. Magic is in all of us.”
Then Colin stood up and walked round the garden. He went in front with Dickon on one side and Mary on the other. Ben Weatherstaff walked behind.
Colin walked a bit then rested. Then he walked again and rested again. At first, he held Dickon’s arm, then
he walked a few steps alone.
“I can walk! The magic worked!” he cried.
“What is the doctor going to say ” asked Mary.
“Nothing.” Colin answered, “because we aren’t going to tell him. No one must know that I can walk and run. It’s a surprise for my father when he comes back to Misselthwaite.”
“He’s going to think it’s a dream,” said Mary.

(22-23八年级下·江苏南京·期中)The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of the great works by Mark Twain. The book is so interesting. Even today, it is quite popular among kids. Although I am in my thirties, the
book remains one of my favorites. After rereading the book recently, I have learned an important lesson from Tom Sawyer.
In our daily lives, we are often given some boring or tiring tasks. What’s in your mind when your mom tells you to clean the floor Have you ever wanted to complain I think most people have.
Tom Sawyer, however, thought “differently” when he was given a boring task. One Saturday morning, Aunt Polly told Tom to paint the fence (篱笆). Tom’s friend Ben Rogers happened to walk past. Instead of complaining, Tom told Ben that he felt “excited” about the task. “Only one in a thousand, or even two thousand boys can do this!” Tom said.
Tom’s words made Ben interested in the task. He even gave Tom his apple so that he could have a chance to paint the fence. If Tom had thought about nothing but complaining, he would have had a bad day painting the fence.
This story teaches me a valuable lesson: Complaining is useless. The next time you are given a boring or tiring task, don’t complain. Unlike what happens in the story of Tom Sawyer, it is unlikely that someone will come and do the work for you. However, without complaining, you’ll feel better and perhaps even do a better job!
34.According to the writer, what is most people’s immediate reaction (即时反应) to a boring task
A.Complaining about it. B.Accepting it.
C.Refusing it. D.Waiting for it.
35.Why did Tom say the underlined sentence to Ben in Paragraph 3
A.To express his sadness. B.To catch Ben’s interest.
C.To show his anger. D.To communicate with Ben.
36.What does the writer learn from Tom Sawyer
A.Refusing is the best choice. B.Complaining is the only way out.
C.Waiting is better than complaining. D.Being active without complaining.
