【佳作展示】
Many students are short of exercise in their spare time now. They think doing exercise can affect their studies. Therefore they have less time to study. Doing sports is good for their health. A person who takes exercises regularly will keep fit. In the school, students are forced to take exercise in the PE class, they need to join certain activities. In this way, students live in a healthy lifestyle, they won’t get sick easily. But after they leaving school, no one forces them to do so, so they are lazy to take exercise so that their bodies get weaker.
I think students should take exercise every day outside the school. In a word, exercise is helpful, important and absolutely necessary.

【佳作展示】
Many students are short of exercise in their spare time now. They think doing exercise can affect their studies. Therefore they have less time to study. Doing sports is good for their health. A person who takes exercises regularly will keep fit. In the school, students are forced to take exercise in the PE class, they need to join certain activities. In this way, students live in a healthy lifestyle, they won’t get sick easily. But after they leaving school, no one forces them to do so, so they are lazy to take exercise so that their bodies get weaker.
I think students should take exercise every day outside the school. In a word, exercise is helpful, important and absolutely necessary.

I think it is necessary to take part in sports, because sports can not only strengthen the body but also regulate the mood. As we all know, we teenagers grow very fast, so we need plenty of nutritious foods, such as fish, fresh fruit and vegetables. You should not take in too much meat or too many sweets. Also, physical exercise is needed instead of studying all the time. For example, you can play basketball or swim after school. What is more, having enough sleep is of great benefit.

Don’t be a robot in interviews
Last week, I was speaking with a friend of mine who does alumni interviews for Yale University. One of my students was in the process of applying to Yale, and I wanted to get the “dos” and “don’ts” right from the horse’s mouth. She told me much of what I had heard in the past—students should be enthusiastic, poised, knowledgeable about the university, and able to ask questions as well as answer them. However, she added one element that I had not considered before.
“Sometimes applicants can be too polished. It really freaks me out,” she told me.
She went on to describe Chinese students who had memorized detailed answers to hundreds of questions. “Their answers were not bad. However, it didn’t feel like I was talking to a human being. It was more like talking to a robot.”
She also mentioned the awkward moments that can arise when an applicant has done a lot of research on their interviewer. Of course, it is good to take the time to find out what you can about the person you will be talking to. In this information age, you can easily find out where your interviewer is from, what they majored in, and even some of their interests. However, just because you know those things, it doesn’t mean you should bring them up directly in the interview.
“If a student has found out that I liked camping and hiking from my blog, then they might be able to mention their own interest in those things and ask me about opportunities for outdoor adventures at Yale. That is totally acceptable. What is weird is when students come into the interview and say, ‘I know that you love camping’. It makes me feel like the police are interrogating me, not that I am interviewing an applicant.”
So what is the answer I am not suggesting that students not prepare at all. However, there are limits to everything. You should be knowledgeable, but don’t let your knowledge overshadow your personality. In the best interviews, your real self shines through.

Maintain mental health
During a crisis like the novel coronavirus outbreak, healthy people may suffer even if they aren’t actually infected by the virus. This is because the uncertainty of a crisis can be scary and stressful.
These types of situations can have a negative effect on your overall mental health. This stress can come from things like the fear of becoming infected or worrying about loved ones.
People may also feel stressed for being stuck inside for a long period of time. For example, you may have been feeling emotions like boredom, loneliness or anger if you have been staying at home under quarantine.
“For a lot of people, a day or two in isolation may be OK, but weeks without getting out of the house – the stress will certainly build up,” Paul Yin, a psychologist who has experience with crisis counseling, told NBC News.
If you find yourself in this situation, you may be thinking, “Is what I’m feeling normal ” or “What can I do to deal with all of this ” Even if you aren’t in an infected area, it’s natural to experience these emotions.
Let’s look at some healthy ways for you to manage some of these negative feelings.
Do what you can to stay informed about the virus. Rumors and speculation can feed feelings of anxiety, so be sure to get your information from trusted sources like the government.
Follow basic hygiene practices. This includes things like washing your hands often and in the right way, using tissues when you sneeze or cough, and staying at home if you aren’t feeling well.
Have a daily routine. Eat a healthy and balanced diet and do some exercise every day. You can also use this time to explore new hobbies and keep busy.
Stay connected. During stressful times, it can feel like you’re alone. But you aren’t! You can talk to friends and family about your feelings.
“The key is to take good care of the body, arrange a reasonable schedule, ensure adequate sleep and diet, and get the necessary rest and relaxation,” Zhang Hong, deputy chief physician of Wuhan Mental Health Center, said. After all, your mental health is just as important as your physical health.
6．The uncertainty of a crisis can have a negative effect on________.
A．physical health B．mental health
C．daily life D．safety

（2024上·重庆北碚·八年级西南大学附中校考期末）①It’s easy to point fingers when disagreements happen. Wouldn’t it be great to avoid (避免) conflicts (冲突) with one word It’s possible. Conflicts often start and become worse by our choice of words. Words like “You are so…” or “How could you… ” are not a good choice for polite conversations. Instead, you can start with an “I” and center on your thoughts and feelings about the matter.
②Dr. Thomas Gordon used the “I-message” in the 1960s. “I-message”, also known as I-statement, is a form of sentence that can show your thoughts without making others feel down.
③I-statements enable you to express your opinion without using upsetting language. For example, “I forgot to ask you for your address after you invited me to come,” is better than “You invited me so you should have given me the address.” In this way, you avoid getting into a fight with others or directly pointing out the other person’s mistake. Also, you carefully make them realize what’s going on, showing them how the situation makes you feel. Doing so, you can finally have a meaningful, two-way conversation.
④I-statements are useful in any conversation when you want to tell your side of the story in a more agreeable and reasonable way. Using an I-statement can also lead to necessary changes and even add warmth to your relationships. Strangers you come across will find you pleasant and understanding. You and your friends will continue to build trust in each other.
⑤However, not all I-statements are effective in avoiding conflicts. For example, “I feel like you’re responsible for this,” is as upsetting as “You’re wrong.” Thomas Gordon also said that to successfully use an I-statement, your words should match your tone (语调), body language, and how you feel.
⑥What’s more, an I-statement also has its disadvantages. The more use of “I” can make you appear self-centered, especially in some cultures. Some may even think you’re weak and unable to understand others’ opinions. You have to be careful not to use the I-statement in a way that fail to politely voice your real intention (意图).
⑦All in all, correctly using the I-statement in conversations is a good way to avoid misunderstandings. Whether you are talking with a classmate or a family member, expressing yourself well is the key. Practice using I-statements more and you’ll be amazed how it can make a big difference in your social life.
18．When you use an I-statement in a conversation, you ________.
A．seriously point fingers without speaking your opinion loudly
B．directly get into a fight with the other person
C．unknowingly change your thoughts about the matter
D．carefully show yourself to avoid misunderstandings
19．According to the passage, which of these statements would help you avoid conflicts
A．You should book a table earlier. B．You never let me do anything fun.
C．I get nervous when you speak too loudly. D．I think you always make decisions without me.
20．The writer would probably agree that ________.
A．I-statements show one can’t fully understand others
B．I-statements should be avoided so that we won’t appear self-centered
C．using I-statements can surely make perfect two-way communication
D．using I-statements correctly brings improvements in one’s relationships

（2022上·江苏扬州·八年级校联考期中）If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, and when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed, and few of us know that it is just his own fault (过错). Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories This is because they cannot read or write and when they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. As a result, they have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is being exercised the whole time.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do.
22．Someone can’t have a good memory if ________.
A．he can’t read or write B．his parents haven’t a good memory
C．he doesn’t make good use of his memory. D．he doesn’t use his arms or legs for some time
23．Which of the following statements is TRUE
A．Your memory needs chance for practice.
B．A good memory is inherited (遗传) from parents.
C．Your memory works in the different ways as your arms or legs.
D．Don’t learn to read and write if you want to have a good memory.
24．Few people know that if someone has a poor memory it is ________.
A．his own fault B．his parents’ fault
C．his teachers’ fault D．his friends’ fault
25．The writer wants to tell us ________.
A．how to read and write well
B．how to have a good memory
C．how to use our arms or legs better
D．how to learn from the people who can’t read or write

（2022上·河北保定·八年级统考期中）We often face the following situations in our daily life:
The woman next door plays her piano after 12 o’clock at night.
The family across the street never cleans up their yard. The rubbish blows into your yard.
The man next door always parks his car in front of your drive.
Have things like this ever happened to you If so, you may ask yourself, “Who are these people Why are they doing these things to me ”
These days, many people don’t know their neighbours. Sometimes we share a friendly smile or say hello, but lots of people don’t even know their neighbour’s names! When you don’t know someone, it’s easy to be angry when something has happened that you think is unfair. You think, “Maybe they like to make me angry,” or “Maybe they do it on purpose.” Believe it or not, your neighbours probably don’t mean to irritate（激怒）you. Often, they don’t even know that they’re making you feel angry. So before you take unusual steps to fix the problem, you should discuss it with them first.
When you move towards your neighbours, you should talk to them in a friendly manner. Praise their children to make them feel good. Then explain the situation. And if you can think of a simple way to solve the problem, suggest it.
If talking doesn’t work, ask another person to help. This person can listen to both sides of the story and help you and your neighbour solve the problem.
Finally, sometimes it’s a good idea to avoid the problem. Depending on the problem, it might be best to just stay out of your neighbour’s way.
26．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2
A．To ask some questions. B．To lead in the subjects.
C．To tell some stories. D．To answer some questions.
27．You should talk about the problem with your neighbours first because ________.
A．they often say hello or smile to you
B．you do not know what they are called
C．they probably don’t plan to make you unhappy
D．they live next to you
28．When talking with your neighbours, you can make them have a good feeling by ________.
A．praising their children B．explaining the problem
C．shaking hands with them D．telling jokes
29．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．Ways to deal with neighbours. B．Problems caused by neighbours.
C．Situations we may face every day. D．What neighbours are like

Communication gap
Shi Jianfei, 21, is a mechanical manufacturing and automation major at Beijing Information Science and Technology University. He encountered an academic problem during the summer vacation but it took him a lot of determination to finally approach his professor at school to solve the problem. To his surprise, the meeting turned out to be quite pleasant.
But only a few students turn to their professors to ask for advice in solving problems or discuss academic topics with them. According to a poll of 2,636 college students conducted by MyCOS, a Beijing-based consultancy, more than a third of them contact their professors less than once a year.
Although most students and teachers are willing to communicate with each other, it seems that an effective communication mechanism is absent.
Shi says most of his professors share their contact details with students in the first class, but students tend not to take advantage of this.
“Communication usually takes place in class or between classes, because it’s difficult to get in touch with professors at any other time,” he says. “University professors always look very busy.”
Pressure
However, from the faculty’s perspective, students are too cautious about communicating with professors.
“They’re worried about asking questions they think may leave a bad impression,” says Du Xiguang, professor of chemistry at Northeast Normal University.
Wu created a QQ group in which students can discuss various issues with him, ranging from academic topics to personal problems.
“I find they are very talkative in this group because all of them are anonymous. But if they talk to me in person, they’re shy and nervous,” he says.
His view is echoed by Wu Qian, 22, an English major at Tsinghua University. Wu admits that when she encounters problems she prefers talking to her classmates and upper classmen.
“I think many students are too shy and passive, myself included. I feel more comfortable communicating with my peers,” she says.
Different styles of teaching
Cheng Haonan, 20, a space science and technology major at Nanjing University, offers another reason why students don’t form strong relationships with professors.
“We only meet our professor once or twice a week. That’s a lot less than the frequency with which we met our teachers in high school. Some professors can’t even remember my name,” says Cheng.
Du also attributes the shyness of many students to a change in teaching styles. In primary school, Chinese students get used to talking with their teachers because they’re like “nannies” who not only teach, but also watch out for their students’ personal development.
“In college, such communication isn’t *compulsory anymore and students aren’t pushed to discuss their ideas with professors,” says Du. “The real problem is that students aren’t yet ready to engage in adult conversation with professors. Some of them just expect professors to explain facts and help them prepare for exams, like in high school.”
Chen Yongmei, an associate professor at Beijing Forestry University, tackles this problem by taking the initiative. Since she only teaches one class a week, Chen invites one or two students for lunch every day. During lunch, they discuss academic and personal problems.
“Most students make use of this mechanism, but a few of them don’t,” she says. “In the latter case, I gradually lose the passion for communicating with them because this isn’t middle school. I’m happy to talk to them, but I don’t want to force them into a conversation they’re uncomfortable with.”
【回答问题】
35．What’s Shi Jianfei’s major
36．How many college students contact their professors less than once a year

Don’t be a robot in interviews
Last week, I was speaking with a friend of mine who does alumni interviews for Yale University. One of my students was in the process of applying to Yale, and I wanted to get the “dos” and “don’ts” right from the horse’s mouth. She told me much of what I had heard in the past—students should be enthusiastic, poised, knowledgeable about the university, and able to ask questions as well as answer them. However, she added one element that I had not considered before.
“Sometimes applicants can be too polished. It really freaks me out,” she told me.
She went on to describe Chinese students who had memorized detailed answers to hundreds of questions. “Their answers were not bad. However, it didn’t feel like I was talking to a human being. It was more like talking to a robot.”
She also mentioned the awkward moments that can arise when an applicant has done a lot of research on their interviewer. Of course, it is good to take the time to find out what you can about the person you will be talking to. In this information age, you can easily find out where your interviewer is from, what they majored in, and even some of their interests. However, just because you know those things, it doesn’t mean you should bring them up directly in the interview.
“If a student has found out that I liked camping and hiking from my blog, then they might be able to mention their own interest in those things and ask me about opportunities for outdoor adventures at Yale. That is totally acceptable. What is weird is when students come into the interview and say, ‘I know that you love camping’. It makes me feel like the police are interrogating me, not that I am interviewing an applicant.”
So what is the answer I am not suggesting that students not prepare at all. However, there are limits to everything. You should be knowledgeable, but don’t let your knowledge overshadow your personality. In the best interviews, your real self shines through.

（2024上·重庆北碚·八年级西南大学附中校考期末）①It’s easy to point fingers when disagreements happen. Wouldn’t it be great to avoid (避免) conflicts (冲突) with one word It’s possible. Conflicts often start and become worse by our choice of words. Words like “You are so…” or “How could you… ” are not a good choice for polite conversations. Instead, you can start with an “I” and center on your thoughts and feelings about the matter.
②Dr. Thomas Gordon used the “I-message” in the 1960s. “I-message”, also known as I-statement, is a form of sentence that can show your thoughts without making others feel down.
③I-statements enable you to express your opinion without using upsetting language. For example, “I forgot to ask you for your address after you invited me to come,” is better than “You invited me so you should have given me the address.” In this way, you avoid getting into a fight with others or directly pointing out the other person’s mistake. Also, you carefully make them realize what’s going on, showing them how the situation makes you feel. Doing so, you can finally have a meaningful, two-way conversation.
④I-statements are useful in any conversation when you want to tell your side of the story in a more agreeable and reasonable way. Using an I-statement can also lead to necessary changes and even add warmth to your relationships. Strangers you come across will find you pleasant and understanding. You and your friends will continue to build trust in each other.
⑤However, not all I-statements are effective in avoiding conflicts. For example, “I feel like you’re responsible for this,” is as upsetting as “You’re wrong.” Thomas Gordon also said that to successfully use an I-statement, your words should match your tone (语调), body language, and how you feel.
⑥What’s more, an I-statement also has its disadvantages. The more use of “I” can make you appear self-centered, especially in some cultures. Some may even think you’re weak and unable to understand others’ opinions. You have to be careful not to use the I-statement in a way that fail to politely voice your real intention (意图).
⑦All in all, correctly using the I-statement in conversations is a good way to avoid misunderstandings. Whether you are talking with a classmate or a family member, expressing yourself well is the key. Practice using I-statements more and you’ll be amazed how it can make a big difference in your social life.
18．When you use an I-statement in a conversation, you ________.
A．seriously point fingers without speaking your opinion loudly
B．directly get into a fight with the other person
C．unknowingly change your thoughts about the matter
D．carefully show yourself to avoid misunderstandings
19．According to the passage, which of these statements would help you avoid conflicts
A．You should book a table earlier. B．You never let me do anything fun.
C．I get nervous when you speak too loudly. D．I think you always make decisions without me.
20．The writer would probably agree that ________.
A．I-statements show one can’t fully understand others
B．I-statements should be avoided so that we won’t appear self-centered
C．using I-statements can surely make perfect two-way communication
D．using I-statements correctly brings improvements in one’s relationships
21．Which of the following might be the right structure of the passage
(paragraph 1=①, paragraph 2=②…)
A． B． C． D．
【答案】18．D 19．C 20．D 21．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了正确使用I-statements可以改善人际关系。
18．推理判断题。根据“Also, you carefully make them realize what’s going on, showing them how the situation makes you feel”及“All in all, correctly using the I-statement in conversations is a good way to avoid misunderstandings.”可知，当在谈话中使用I-statements语句时，可以让你仔细地表达自己的观点，从而避免产生误解，故选D。
19．推理判断题。根据“I-statements enable you to express your opinion without using upsetting language.”以及“In this way, you avoid getting into a fight with others or directly pointing out the other person’s mistake.”可知，当在谈话中使用I-statements语句能避免冲突，所以排除选项A和B；选项D是一种抱怨，容易引起冲突，故选C。
20．推理判断题。通读本文以及最后一段可知，作者认为正确使用I-statement可以改善人际关系，选项D“正确使用I-statements语句可以改善人际关系”符合题意，故选D。

（2022上·江苏扬州·八年级校联考期中）If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, and when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed, and few of us know that it is just his own fault (过错). Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories This is because they cannot read or write and when they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. As a result, they have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is being exercised the whole time.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do.
22．Someone can’t have a good memory if ________.
A．he can’t read or write B．his parents haven’t a good memory
C．he doesn’t make good use of his memory. D．he doesn’t use his arms or legs for some time
23．Which of the following statements is TRUE
A．Your memory needs chance for practice.
B．A good memory is inherited (遗传) from parents.
C．Your memory works in the different ways as your arms or legs.
D．Don’t learn to read and write if you want to have a good memory.
24．Few people know that if someone has a poor memory it is ________.
A．his own fault B．his parents’ fault
C．his teachers’ fault D．his friends’ fault
25．The writer wants to tell us ________.

23．推理判断题。根据第一段“If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, and when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again.…Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.”可知，如果你有一段时间不使用你的胳膊或腿，它们会变得虚弱，直到你再次使用它们时才会变得强壮，记忆也是以同样的方式工作的，结合最后一段“So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do.”如果你想有一个好的记忆力，向别人学习：用别人的方式练习记忆，也就是说记忆力需要机会来练习。故选A。
24．细节理解题。根据“But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed, and few of us know that it is just his own fault ”可知，但是如果他告诉我们他的记忆力不好，我们中的许多人认为这可能是他的父母的错，很少有人知道这只是他自己的错。故选A。

（2022上·河北保定·八年级统考期中）We often face the following situations in our daily life:
The woman next door plays her piano after 12 o’clock at night.
The family across the street never cleans up their yard. The rubbish blows into your yard.
The man next door always parks his car in front of your drive.
Have things like this ever happened to you If so, you may ask yourself, “Who are these people Why are they doing these things to me ”
These days, many people don’t know their neighbours. Sometimes we share a friendly smile or say hello, but lots of people don’t even know their neighbour’s names! When you don’t know someone, it’s easy to be angry when something has happened that you think is unfair. You think, “Maybe they like to make me angry,” or “Maybe they do it on purpose.” Believe it or not, your neighbours probably don’t mean to irritate（激怒）you. Often, they don’t even know that they’re making you feel angry. So before you take unusual steps to fix the problem, you should discuss it with them first.
When you move towards your neighbours, you should talk to them in a friendly manner. Praise their children to make them feel good. Then explain the situation. And if you can think of a simple way to solve the problem, suggest it.
If talking doesn’t work, ask another person to help. This person can listen to both sides of the story and help you and your neighbour solve the problem.
Finally, sometimes it’s a good idea to avoid the problem. Depending on the problem, it might be best to just stay out of your neighbour’s way.

Communication gap
Shi Jianfei, 21, is a mechanical manufacturing and automation major at Beijing Information Science and Technology University. He encountered an academic problem during the summer vacation but it took him a lot of determination to finally approach his professor at school to solve the problem. To his surprise, the meeting turned out to be quite pleasant.
But only a few students turn to their professors to ask for advice in solving problems or discuss academic topics with them. According to a poll of 2,636 college students conducted by MyCOS, a Beijing-based consultancy, more than a third of them contact their professors less than once a year.
Although most students and teachers are willing to communicate with each other, it seems that an effective communication mechanism is absent.
Shi says most of his professors share their contact details with students in the first class, but students tend not to take advantage of this.
“Communication usually takes place in class or between classes, because it’s difficult to get in touch with professors at any other time,” he says. “University professors always look very busy.”
Pressure
However, from the faculty’s perspective, students are too cautious about communicating with professors.
“They’re worried about asking questions they think may leave a bad impression,” says Du Xiguang, professor of chemistry at Northeast Normal University.
Wu created a QQ group in which students can discuss various issues with him, ranging from academic topics to personal problems.
“I find they are very talkative in this group because all of them are anonymous. But if they talk to me in person, they’re shy and nervous,” he says.
His view is echoed by Wu Qian, 22, an English major at Tsinghua University. Wu admits that when she encounters problems she prefers talking to her classmates and upper classmen.
“I think many students are too shy and passive, myself included. I feel more comfortable communicating with my peers,” she says.
Different styles of teaching
Cheng Haonan, 20, a space science and technology major at Nanjing University, offers another reason why students don’t form strong relationships with professors.
“We only meet our professor once or twice a week. That’s a lot less than the frequency with which we met our teachers in high school. Some professors can’t even remember my name,” says Cheng.
Du also attributes the shyness of many students to a change in teaching styles. In primary school, Chinese students get used to talking with their teachers because they’re like “nannies” who not only teach, but also watch out for their students’ personal development.
“In college, such communication isn’t *compulsory anymore and students aren’t pushed to discuss their ideas with professors,” says Du. “The real problem is that students aren’t yet ready to engage in adult conversation with professors. Some of them just expect professors to explain facts and help them prepare for exams, like in high school.”
Chen Yongmei, an associate professor at Beijing Forestry University, tackles this problem by taking the initiative. Since she only teaches one class a week, Chen invites one or two students for lunch every day. During lunch, they discuss academic and personal problems.
“Most students make use of this mechanism, but a few of them don’t,” she says. “In the latter case, I gradually lose the passion for communicating with them because this isn’t middle school. I’m happy to talk to them, but I don’t want to force them into a conversation they’re uncomfortable with.”
【回答问题】
35．What’s Shi Jianfei’s major
36．How many college students contact their professors less than once a year

38．What will Wu Qian do when she meets problems
