题目内容

  If you can speak English,you know a lot of English words. You can read,speak and understand. But there is another kind of language you need to know—the language of the body.

   All over the world,people “talk” with their hands,with their heads and with their eyes. When Japanese people meet,they bow (鞠躬;弯腰) . When Indians meet,they put their hands together. What do American and British people do?

   Americans are more informal (不拘礼节的) than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first names;they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down,they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable.

   British people are more reserved (矜持的,缄默的) . They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask you something of your home.

   When British and American people meet someone for the first time,they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends,and men kiss women friends. When a man meets a man friend,he just smiles,and says “Hello”. Men do not kiss each other,or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.

He always told me ,“ You should have goals (目标Mike climbing the mountain. ” Without the mountain climbing that we both enjoyed,we couldn5t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy.

  It's only $ 79. 99!How many times have you heard those words on TV or read them in a newspaper ad? The word “only” is supposed to make you think that this is a great price for the product.

   But think about this. How long does it take you to earn $79. 99? What do you have to do to get that money? The little thing that's only $ 79. 99 is worth (值) almost 12 hours of your work!And if you are making less than this,how long will it take to earn that much money?

   So as you stand in a shop,telling yourself that you have to buy something,think about how long you must work to earn the money to pay for it. Is that $ 85 T-shirt really worth the time to earn $ 85? You could probably find a similar (相似的) shirt at another shop for under $ 35,right?

   Even if your parents are still buying you clothes,someone has to work for the money. If you spend money on one thing,you don't have money to spend on anything else. So if you spend $85 on those jeans,you cannot put it in the bank,and you cannot go snowboarding or to the movies with friends because you don't have the money to go.

  As young students,you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big,such as winning the Nobel Prize;they can also be small,such as becoming one of the best students in your class.

   Once you find a dream,what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?

   Andrew Matthews,an Australian writer,tells us that making your dreams real is life's biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects,or that it's impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.

   In fact ,everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.

Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is,in fact,made up of many small dreams.

   You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results,while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

   As you get closer to your dream,it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.(浙江省杭州市十三中教育集团2012 —2013学年八年级下学期 检测英语试题)

  Air is a colorless,tasteless and invisible gas that is around us. An “empty” drinking glass and an “empty” room,in fact,are not really empty. Each is filled with air. When the glass is filled with water,the water pushes the air out of the glass.

   Air,as gas,has no definite shape,but because it is matter,it takes up space and it has weight. It is easy to show that air is something that takes up space. Stuff a piece of dry cloth into the bottom of a glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside down. Push the upside-down glass,holding straight up and down,into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken out of the water,the cloth is still dry. The air inside the glass shows that it takes up space and keeps the water from coming in.
