Being green means protecting the environment in our daily life. The best way to do this is buying green products. But how do we know if a product is really green We need to think about everything of the product.
First, we should look at the materials of the products. Green products are made of natural materials. This is good for our health.
Second, where a product is made and where we buy it are also important. We should try to purchase local products, especially food. We can order directly from local farmers. Buying from shops near our homes is also a good idea, because we can walk or bike there instead of driving, which uses less energy.
★ We should choose products that have glass, paper or other packaging that can be reused or recycled. We should also try to buy products that have less packaging or no packaging at all. The greenest thing we can do is not to buy unnecessary products. We should only buy things we really need, like food and clothes. If we don’t need something, we should leave it in the shop. This saves money, reduces waste, and helps keep the planet healthy.
All in all, by buying green products, we can help make our planet a better place to live on.
According to Paragraph 1, what is the best way to be green
To produce green products. B. To know whether the products are green or not.
C. To shop for green products. D. To recycle used products.
52. The writer suggests buying food near our homes because ________.
A. it takes shorter time B. it saves energy
C. the food is fresher D. the food costs less
53. What does the word “purchase” mean in Paragraph 3
A. eat B. produce C. buy D. keep
54. What does the underlined word “This” refers to
A. Buying only necessary products. B. Not shopping for anything.
C. Shopping for important products. D. Buying only food and clothes.
55. Which can be the best sentence for ★ in Paragraph 4

①One morning, I got up early and decided to make an apple pie for my mum. I called my grandma for help, followed a TV program to make jam and waited excitedly. I enjoyed every step so much that I didn’t notice three hours pass by. Although the pie looked terrible and was not that delicious, Mum ate it up and told me it was the best pie that she had ever had. For the first time, I realized that although I made a terrible pie, I really enjoyed the process.
②The process is important because it brings us something bigger than the result itself. That is, we always have new experiences during the process, which may help us improve our skills or form good relationships with others. If we just concentrate on the result and do not enjoy the process, we will be more likely to feel disappointed and want to give up. As a result, we will never understand the real meaning of success.
③ But in this busy world, we see many successful people are in competition. How can we enjoy the process Well, the question has the answer in itself.
④Don’t always compare yourself with others. Success means different things to us. For some, success means being famous, while for others, it may be health or power.
⑤Slow down. You need to stop expecting immediate results in what you do and learn to be patient. Impatience leads to unhappiness. Do it slowly, but never stop.
⑥Reward yourself. Divide the process into small steps, and give yourself a reward after completing each of them.
56. How does the writer start the article
A. By giving an example. B. By using old sayings.
C. By comparing facts. D. By listing numbers.

59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The author made an apple pie alone. B. Mum ate the pie up because it was very delicious.
C. The process is important because it just helps us improve our skills.
D. There are three pieces of advice on how to enjoy the process.
60. Which could be the best title for the text
A. Enjoy the process B. What does success mean to us
C. Never give up D. How can we achieve good results
D
Improvements in technology often happen overnight. Some gadgets get smaller and faster. Others are replaced (代替) by newer things like smartphones. They can do hundreds of things. Here are some old gadgets that people used to use.
①__________
Do you have a landline at home These are phones that people plug (插入) into their living room walls. Mobile phones didn’t use to be so common at that time, so most families had a landline.

②__________
People today store plenty of information online, or on SD cards. But in the 1980s and 1990s people used to use floppy disks.

We’ll finally grow up and leave our parents some day. We may face different kinds of problems in our life and our parents will not be able to work out every problem for us. Instead, we should have enough life skills to work out the problems by ourselves.
This is what our country tries to do ---- helping students get hardworking spirit (劳动精神) education. Recently, our country has given out some advice to make students of different ages realize it is important to receive hardworking spirit education. The advice asks students to understand the real meaning of hard work. Its purpose is to make students learn basic life skills and form good working habits after they receive such education.

Many teenagers do not care about the importance of hard work and don’t show an interest in it. In a survey, it is shown that only 25 percent of primary and middle school students help with daily housework.
How can we develop students’ hardworking spirit Schools and families are important parts in teaching students how to work hard. Primary and middle schools should offer their students weekly classes on hardworking spirit. Schools can also hold events to give students real-world work experience. In March, schools can teach children how to plant trees on Tree-planting Day. As children’s first teachers, parents should also teach their children how to do housework at home. Students should learn one or two life skills every year, such as cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms.

In order to build a civilized city，we students try our best to behave well in the activities.
Above all ,it’s good manners to say "Hello" when we meet other people for the first time. If we bump into others or do something impolite,we should say “sorry”. We'd better not talk or laugh loudly. We should never say a bad word about others. When crossing the road, it is good manners to obey the traffic rules. We should be careful.
Moreover, we should try our best to protect the environment, such as planting more trees. It’s good to choose the public transport to go to school. We can go to school on foot or by bike. Turn off the lights when we leave the room.
Be friendly to others and always ready to help the people in need. Try to work as volunteers to help the disabled. We can help the blind cross the road. It’s meaningful to share different skills with others.we can help the elderly do some cleaning. We should also take part in some charity activities as often as possible. We can save our pocket money and donate it to the people in need.
In a word，if each of us does our part from now on，our world will become better.2023-2024 年度春学期八年级英语独立作业二

Being green means protecting the environment in our daily life. The best way to do this is buying green
products. But how do we know if a product is really green We need to think about everything of the product.
First, we should look at the materials of the products. Green products are made of natural materials. This is
good for our health.
Second, where a product is made and where we buy it are also important. We should try to purchase local
products, especially food. We can order directly from local farmers. Buying from shops near our homes is also a
good idea, because we can walk or bike there instead of driving, which uses less energy.
★ We should choose products that have glass, paper or other packaging that can be reused or recycled. We
should also try to buy products that have less packaging or no packaging at all. The greenest thing we can do is not
to buy unnecessary products. We should only buy things we really need, like food and clothes. If we don’t need
something, we should leave it in the shop. This saves money, reduces waste, and helps keep the planet healthy.
All in all, by buying green products, we can help make our planet a better place to live on.
51. According to Paragraph 1, what is the best way to be green
A. To produce green products. B. To know whether the products are green or not.
C. To shop for green products. D. To recycle used products.

①One morning, I got up early and decided to make an apple pie for my mum. I called my grandma for help,
followed a TV program to make jam and waited excitedly. I enjoyed every step so much that I didn’t notice three
hours pass by. Although the pie looked terrible and was not that delicious, Mum ate it up and told me it was the best
pie that she had ever had. For the first time, I realized that although I made a terrible pie, I really enjoyed the
process.
②The process is important because it brings us something bigger than the result itself. That is, we always have
new experiences during the process, which may help us improve our skills or form good relationships with others.
If we just concentrate on the result and do not enjoy the process, we will be more likely to feel disappointed and
want to give up. As a result, we will never understand the real meaning of success.
③ But in this busy world, we see many successful people are in competition. How can we enjoy the process
Well, the question has the answer in itself.
④Don’t always compare yourself with others. Success means different things to us. For some, success means
being famous, while for others, it may be health or power.
⑤Slow down. You need to stop expecting immediate results in what you do and learn to be patient.
Impatience leads to unhappiness. Do it slowly, but never stop.
⑥Reward yourself. Divide the process into small steps, and give yourself a reward after completing each of
them.
56. How does the writer start the article
A. By giving an example. B. By using old sayings.
C. By comparing facts. D. By listing numbers.

C. The process is important because it just helps us improve our skills.
D. There are three pieces of advice on how to enjoy the process.

A. Enjoy the process B. What does success mean to us
C. Never give up D. How can we achieve good results

We’ll finally grow up and leave our parents some day. We may face different kinds of problems in our life and
our parents will not be able to work out every problem for us. Instead, we should have enough life skills to work
out the problems by ourselves.
This is what our country tries to do ---- helping students get hardworking spirit (劳动精神 ) education.
Recently, our country has given out some advice to make students of different ages realize it is important to receive
hardworking spirit education. The advice asks students to understand the real meaning of hard work. Its purpose is
to make students learn basic life skills and form good working habits after they receive such education.
The government believes it is necessary for students to develop hardworking spirit. But some students haven’t
noticed this in recent years. Many teenagers do not care about the importance of hard work and don’t show an
interest in it. In a survey, it is shown that only 25 percent of primary and middle school students help with daily
housework.
How can we develop students’ hardworking spirit Schools and families are important parts in teaching
students how to work hard. Primary and middle schools should offer their students weekly classes on hardworking
spirit. Schools can also hold events to give students real-world work experience. In March, schools can teach
children how to plant trees on Tree-planting Day. As children’s first teachers, parents should also teach their
children how to do housework at home. Students should learn one or two life skills every year, such as cooking,
washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms.
