Passage12
（23-24八年级下·广东深圳·期末）As the house shook from the falling asteroids (小行星), Arthur’s heart beat very fast. The asteroids weren’t just rocks; they seemed to move around in space like they had a plan, like they were looking for something. The strange light from the asteroids made the house seem even more scary.
Suddenly, the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy said in a calm voice, “Trust the house, Arthur. It can handle this.” Those words made Arthur feel a little better. He closed his eyes and listened to the voice, which helped calm him down.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the house move very skillfully between the asteroids. It almost seemed like it was dancing between them. The outside of the house changed shape, like it could see where the asteroids were going and move to avoid them.
At one point, an asteroid came so close that Arthur could feel its heat. But just before it hit, the house moved quickly and missed it by just a little bit. Arthur held his breath, afraid to move, as the asteroid flew away into space.
When the asteroids finally stopped coming, Arthur felt relieved (宽慰). He let out a big breath and leaned back against the wall. He was amazed by how the house had saved him and felt lucky to have had such an exciting experience.
From then on, Arthur was more curious and braver about exploring space. He knew there were many amazing things out there, but also some dangers. But he was ready to face them, knowing that he had the tools and courage to do so. He looked forward to more exciting adventures in the vast universe.

（23-24八年级下·广东广州·期末）Working as a vet (兽医), I met a family who taught me an unforgettable lesson.
On a rainy day, they came to my animal hospital with their dying dog Belker. I examined Belker carefully and found he was really old and had a serious illness. I told the family that we couldn’t do anything for Belker, and euthanasia (安乐死) would be best for the dog.
At that time, their little boy Shane, who was only 6 years old, seemed so calm. Instead of questioning, yelling or crying, he kept on petting the old dog for the last time. I wondered if he understood what was going on with Belker. The little boy seemed to accept Belker’s death without any difficulty. We sat together for a while after Belker’s death, saying that animals’ lives are shorter than human lives.
Shane, who was listening quietly, said, “I know why.”
He said, “People need a lifetime to learn how to live a good life, like loving everybody all the time, enjoying delicious food, travelling to see beautiful scenery and being nice, right ” He continued. “Well, dogs have already known how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long.”

（23-24八年级下·广东汕尾·期末）As the saying goes, “The roses in her hand, the flavor in mine.”
A few years ago, a friend gave me a restaurant gift card, and I picked a sunny Sunday afternoon to use it. It felt good taking my family to a nice restaurant. The meal was delicious, and we all had a good time together. The gift card covered almost all of the check (帐单). I reached into my wallet to get enough money to cover the rest. I saw two pieces of money inside. The first would cover the rest of the check. The second would cover the check and give the waitress a nice tip (小费). I reached down to pick the first one.
At that moment, my mind went back to 30 years ago. I was working as a waiter in a restaurant much like this one. It was long hours of hard work for low pay. I remembered seeing the other waitresses worrying about how they were going to pay the rent (房租). I remembered the pain in their eyes and the sadness in their faces at the end of the day.
I was back in the present again, with my fingers touching the smaller piece in my wallet. I smiled, pushed it back down and picked out the larger one. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, we handed them to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart.
We are all one family in this world. Do your best to be kind. Do your best to be a good person and replace pain with joy.

（23-24八年级下·广东广州·期末）When I was little, I was really little. But my dream was big. I dreamed of being a basketball player. I tried out for the teams at school, but I was never given a chance.
As I got older, I did grow a little bigger, but not a lot bigger. On my 12th birthday, I decided to try a new sport: running. I told Grandpa, “I’m going to be a sportsman.”
“Dave,” Grandpa began gently, “if you can’t be big, you can do something big.”

（23-24八年级下·广东湛江·期末）The brush pen, one of the “Four Treasures of the Study”, was invented thousands of years ago. However, the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk.

One day after hunting (狩猎), Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when they moved on.

Tina drives about an hour to get here. “It’s hard work. But for me, it’s also play,” Tina said, adding with a laugh, “I play in the mud all day.” Tina’s family is one of 22 families that have devoted themselves to promote the cultural tradition of “paakai”, the Hawaiian word for salt.

（23-24八年级下·广东梅州·期末）Li Meixi, 12, feels anxious about her look - not her face, she tries to stay away from them, because she feels so shameful that she doesn’t even want to walk on the same street with them. What Li is experiencing is fashion anxiety. It troubles many people today. They are anxious about their dressing.
A big reason for fashion anxiety is fashion bullying. As fashion magazines and advertisements show the “latest and greatest” trends, there’s a lot of pressure on people, especially on teenagers, no matter how much it will cost. “The need to belong in groups is very important to young learners and exclusion is something they see as the end of the world,” said Andy Cranham.
Another reason is that young people may not have a sense of self-identity. It seems that they feel anxious about their dressing, but actually they themselves are not confident enough. They care about how fashionable people look at them. They easily doubt themselves. The truth is that those people usually don’t notice them at all.
Fashion trends come and go, always changing. Instead of following, the key is to find your own style. If you’re able to wear clothes with confidence, dressing is only a part of your appearance. It can’t tell the true you. What really matters is your personality and abilities.

Passage29
（23-24八年级下·广东佛山·期末）
A lot of people play sports, but very few people become sports professionals (职业运动员). Then why should you play sports if sports aren’t going to be your future
Doing sports has many benefits for young people. For one thing, they teach them how to communicate and work as a team. For example, football is teamwork. When you are in the team, you need to communicate with your teammates and work together. Sports teach young people to respect (尊重) their teammates and other people as well.
Sports help young people keep away from trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she might have fewer problems. This is because sports teach young people about rules (规则). They also know that if they work hard, they might win.
Sports make young people go out of their houses. These days, a lot of students spend too much time watching television and playing games on a mobile phone. When they play sports, they go outside and exercise in the sun. They take in fresh air. All of these things are important for their health.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you will become a sports professional or not. Sports will help you become a better and happier person. Sports may also bring you friends and keep you healthy. Last but not least, sports are fun!
