Athletics vs. Gardening

The students of Southside School were asked to give their opinions about whether the school should run an athletic program or start a vegetable garden.

An athletic program is hatch better than gardening. How are we ever going to win anything at the Inter-School Athletics without proper training? At the moment, we only do athletics for one tam and the teachers train us. We need experts（专家）to teach us things like throwing and high jump.

I know lots of kids say they're tot interested in competitions, but that's because they've never won anything. If they got better training and started winning things, they'd soon change their minds.

People always say kids don't get enough exercise. Just because you do gardening outdoors doesn't make it exercise, so I don't sec how it matters.

Athletics is much better for fitness and lots of kids can have a go at the same tine. I don't think there would be enough jobs for everyone in a garden.

In fact, I think a garden is a really bad idea. I don't know why we're even considering it.

Liz, Grade 8

I think a vegetable garden is a great idea. We already do hours of sport, including athletics. And not everyone likes sport.

Gardening is a great way to get exercise without worrying about whether you're any good at it, or whether you're going to win. And you really do gel exercise when you garden. There's digging, weeding and watering Even picking things can be hard work – pumpkins aren't light you know!

There are lots of kids around here who don't have gardens so they can’t grow things even they want to. If you really want to do more sport, you can join a club.

And think about it: What helps you to be good at sport? You need to eat lots of fruit and vegetables. If we learn to cook all the things we grow, the garden will keep us all fit and healthy and then we’ll be better at sport.

Sam, Grade 8

30．Which of these points do Liz and Sam both make?

A．Kids should take exercise. B．Kids should eat vegetables.

C．Kids should try to win more. D．Kids should be outside more.

31．What is one reason Liz gives for saying "a garden is a really bad idea"?

A．Some students don't like getting dirty.

B．Some students don't enjoy being outside.

C．Some students already know how to garden.

D．Some students may have no chance to garden.

32．Why does Sam say, "And think about it.: what helps you to be good at sport?"

A．To change the subject. B．To introduce his next reason.

C．To support Liz's idea. D．To find an answer to the question.

He decides to go to ____ college and becomes a doctor.

Mercury 水星

Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. It is a planet slightly larger than the Earth’s moon. It is covered in craters . Some craters have ice in them, even though the planet is hot. Sunlight never touches some parts because of the planet’s special position.

Without air, there are great temperature differences between the coldest and hottest parts. Mercury days are so long that there are big differences between temperatures on the daylight side and the night side.

Mercury was created billions of years ago, when big rocks ran into each other.

After these accidents, the planet was frequently visited by meteorites for several hundred million years. There were also many volcanic eruptions( 火山喷发 ). As the planet cooled, the thin, rocky outside shell reduced in diameter by about 3 kilometers.

The Caloris Basin is one of the largest craters on Mercury. This big crater is 1,300 kilometers wide and was formed when a large rock, about 100 kilometers across, knocked into the surface. Beethoven, another large crater, is 643 kilometers across.

The cliff ( 悬崖 ) on Mercury are up to 2 kilometers high and hundreds of kilometers long. The cliffs were formed when the thin surface fell apart, as volcanic activity slowed down and Mercury became cooler.

One Mercury day lasts about 59 Earth days. Mercury takes about 88 Earth days to have a complete year, instead of the 365 days that we have on the Earth. Mercury speeds around the sun so that there are three Mercury days every two Mercury years. Mercury has a strange relationship with the Earth. Every 117 days, when Mercury is closest to the Earth, it always has the same side facing us.

Mariner 10 is the only spacecraft to visit Mercury. It made three visits to Mercury in the 1970s, taking photos of many cliffs and craters. Although the first three visits answered many questions, they have raised others.

1 ． What is the surface of Mercury like?

A ． It is generally flat ( 平坦的 ). B ． It’s hot everywhere. C ． It’s bright everywhere. D ． It’s cold in some parts.

2 ． Why did Mercury’s diameter get smaller?

A ． A drop in temperature changed its size. B ． A great many meteorites ran into it.

C ． It got out of shape as time passed. D ． Lots of surface rocks fell off.

3 ． What do we know about Mercury?

A ． One Mercury day lasts about 88 Earth days. B ． It turns around the sun faster than the Earth.

C ． Six Mercury days are two Mercury years. D ． It has more cliffs than large craters.

4 ． What happened after Mariner 10’s three visits to Mercury?

A ． Another spacecraft visited Mercury. B ． New cliffs and craters were formed.

C ． New signs of volcanic activity appeared. D ． Lots of new puzzles needed to be solved.

—I believe this is the best movie of the year.

—Well, ________. Anyway, the ending is OK.

A ． I don’t like it actually B ． that may not be a good idea

C ． that’s a good idea D ． I think you’re right

A group of boys stood around a tree. “What a tall tree!” they said to each other, “It would be 16 to climb to the top!”

The group of boys then decided to play a game to 17 who could climb to the top of the tree first. Their mothers were sitting not far away, looking on at their 18 as they played.

One of the climbers was an 8-year-old boy named David. He was the shortest child in the group. 19 thought he would win.

Then the game started. All of the boys tried their best to climb as high as they could. Although the other boys climbed faster than David in the beginning, he 20 the top of the tree fastest in the end.

His mother was 21 . She asked him, “David, how did you reach the top of the tree so 22 ?”

“It was easy,” David said, “The other children 23 looking down as they climbed. When they realized how high they were, they were afraid of 24 . I, however, looked only up. When I saw how close I was, I kept going higher and higher, 25 I reached the top.”

根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

The population of the world continues to increase, but in some areas the population is falling.

This is true in Europe and especially in Eastern Europe. In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people EVERY HOUR! Russia's population could fall by ONE THIRD by the year 2050! And in Poland (波兰) the population is also going down because people are leaving to work in other countries.

One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. All over Europe people, especially educated women, have a different attitude(态度) to children than their parents. "I have one child and she is enough for me," said Galina Tereschkova, a doctor from Moscow. "My husband and I both work full-time. We can't imagine having more than one child." Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. "I don't want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years," said 19-year-old student Hana Markova from Prague. Her opinion is typical of 18-24 year old women everywhere in Europe.

In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of people, usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad. Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. Even so, the population of those four countries and many other countries in West Europe is also going down.

Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France, women now receive nearly $1,000 a month for a year if they have a third child. Austrian women receive $700 a month for three years when they have their first child.

53. Where in the world is the population getting smaller?

___________________________________________________________________

54. How many children does Galina Tereschkova want to have?

55. What does Hana Markova want to do before she has children?
