2018年初中英语牛津译林版八年级下册期末模拟复习卷（7）

    Bill is only fifteen years old, but he's already very rich. Two years ago, Bill began a football website for young people. “I became interested in computers when I was 8 because my father's job is with computers. As a little boy, I also loved football and so I decided to make a website, especially for people of my age.”

    Bill started the “Football OK!” website two years ago, and now more than 20,000 people visit it every day.

    Bill is a schoolboy and a businessman as well. He usually gets up at six o'clock and looks at his emails. Then he goes to school at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 4:00 p.m. In the evening, he always works for about four hours on his website.

    Bill's next plan is a new website, “At the moment I am thinking about a new website on American football, maybe for next year.”

    Is Bill the same person that he was three years ago? “No, I am very different now. I have met a lot of interesting people on the website and I have traveled all over the world.” Bill doesn't know about the future. “Maybe I will sell the websites. I really don't know. I'll just wait and see.”

    When he is 21, Bill will be a millionaire(百万富翁). He always says, “Anything is possible.”

    Answer the following questions with No More Than 7 Words

Dear Readers,

    Imagine an 11-year-old girl whose days are often spent washing clothes, looking after a baby, working hard in the field.

    Imagine a little girl who knows there will not be enough food for dinner, who can't fill her stomach with water because it's polluted, and who has watched life slip away(消失) from her father, little brother and sister because the family is too poor to see a doctor.

    Is it hard to believe? For Maria Pastora, these are the real life.

    Maria would gladly walk miles to school, but her mother, now alone, needs her badly at home. If Maria grows up without any schooling, what will be her future?

    But for just 52 pennies a day, you can sponsor a child like Maria. Through "Save the Children", you can help Maria's mother get the tools she needs to turn their poor food into a good dinner and the money she needs to buy clothes and school things for Maria.

    To help Maria most, your money will be put together with that of other sponsors, so hard-working people can help themselves. Build a school, a hospital……bring in clean water. This is what "Save the Children" has been about since 1932.

    For you, there are many rewards. Have the chance to write to or hear from your sponsored child. Receive photos or progress reports. Know you are reaching out to another person, not with a handout(施舍物), but a "hand up". That's how "Save the Children" works. But without you, it can't work. Please take a moment now to fill in and post the form to help a child like Maria and her village.

    It can make such a difference in her life and yours.
