Reading Makes Us Wise
As the saying goes, “Reading makes a wise man.” I've known the
importance of reading since I was young, and I developed a habit of reading
almost every day. I think reading is a good way to relax and learn something
new.
Among all the books I've read, The Little Prince is one of my favorites. It
tells a story of a little prince, who travels far and meets different people on
the way. I've learned a lot about life and love through his journey.
People should spend more time on reading because it inspires us to think
and create. Moreover, reading makes it possible for us to understand
different cultures and values. So pick up a book and start reading today!2025 年春人教版八下英语 Unit 8 测试卷 一、完形填空：(共 15 小题，每小题 1 分，共 15 分)

About 130 million books come out in the human history. A reader will read at most
6,000 books in his life. Most of them won't be so much fun or very unforgettable. Books
are like people. We meet many but fall in love with a small part of them.
Maybe we will only remember about thirty books. They will be different for each of us,
but they affect（影响）us in similar ways.
________ When we see a bird flying in the sky, we have a great feeling, but we may
find it hard for us to use words to show our feelings and finally we just say, “That's so nice.”
However, a good writer can describe it wonderfully.
Great writers build bridges for us so that we can talk with each other. They depict the
similar experiences of us, and show us how we can share the same thing with each other in
a different way.
Great writers also help us to feel. By reading a book, we meet someone. Probably she
is very beautiful, young, smart but dying, and we feel sad about her pain（疼痛）and the
unfairness（不公平）of the world. Or maybe she is poor but hard-working, and we find the
spirit to face the difficulties in life through her story.

When we talk about science fiction, many people will mention Isaac Asimov, one of
the “BigThree” sci-fi writers(along with Robert A, Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke).
31 When Asimov was three years old, he moved to New York City with his family.
Though it was more difficult than they had thought, his father managed to buy a candy sto
re. It turned out to be a big influence on Asimov's future.
As Asimov worked long hours in the store, he noticed that the sci-fi magazines kept d
rawing customers in. 32 His father, however, thought that sci-fi magazines were useless.
He told his son not to waste time reading about things that“do not exist and never will”
33 Asimov continued to read those magazines secretly. While they opened the door
to a whole new world for the boy, his father gave him a library card. The boy became a re
gular visitor to the library nearby. As Asimov himself once wrote, “ 34 And I made the m
ost of it. For a poor boy whose family
could not afford to buy books, the library was like a door to wonder.”
Asimov sold his first sci-fi story when he was still in high school. As his writing ke
pt improving,Asimov's stories became more and more popular. By the time he was thirty-s
ix, 35 He created the word“robotics” and invented the famous“Three Laws of Robotic
s”. It's hard to believe that these great achievements all started from a love of“useless” ma
gazines in a candy store.
A. His father bought a lot of sci-fi magazines for Asimov.
B. Asimov became interested in them very soon.
C. This didn't kill Asimov's love of science fiction.
D. Asimov was born in 1920 in Russia.
E. Asimov was considered to be a master of science fiction.
F. I can never be thankful enough that I chose to walk into the library.

A video went popular on August 15th, 2023. In the video, there was a group of
tourists traveling in the desert in Turpan, Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous
Region. Suddenly they found their hair standing on end, which scared everyone on the
scene. According to the tourists, their hair returned to the normal situation after they drove
3 kilometers down the road.
Many people on the Internet said the phenomenon（现象）is a sign of a coming storm.
They suggested that the group should have run away as soon as possible. However, Feng
Minxue, an expert, said that running away is not the best choice in such a situation.
According to Feng, if a person's hair is dry and there is a little too much static
electricity（静电）, there is still time to leave. However, if the hair has already stood on end,
running can be fatal because it may put the person in danger. The correct way is to lower
one s body height. If they can't leave the mountain top in time, they should quickly crouch
（蹲）down in that place, bring their feet as close together as possible and use their hands
to protect their heads, avoiding touching the ground.
Wu Xueke, a professor（教授）, thinks that the clouds with electricity above the heads of
the tourists caused the situation. The electric field distortion（畸变）above their heads
became strong, and then it caused static electricity in their hair. In some serious cases, the
person might be hit by lightning. Therefore, if people meet with such a situation outdoors,
they should keep a clear mind and take action properly.
46.When tourists found their hair standing on end, they felt .（仅填 1 词）
47. It is said that the phenomenon is a sign of .（不超过 5 词）
Fill in the blanks according to the passage.
