   Volunteering gives you a good chance to change lives,including your own. If you’re feeling amazed by the news of a disaster,volunteering to help can be a great way to make you comfortable. If you’d like to support a cause but can't afford to donate (捐献) money,you can donate your time instead.

   Helping others in need is such an important part of the AmericansJ way of life that many high schools ask their students to spend time volunteering in order to graduate.

   Unlike school,with volunteering,you have to get to choose what really interests you and who (or what) is most deserving (值得) of your time. Here are some ideas to get you to start:

   Help kids learn and grow. Become a Big Brother or Big Sister,or volunteer for an after-school sports program. Special Olympic games and events are great ways to get to know special-needs kids.

   Help the environment. Join a conservation group and help out with river preservation (保护). Take part in a local park cleanup day. You could also help out in a park office or education center.

   If you have more than one thing you love,find a way to put the two together. For example,if you love kids and are great at art,visit your local children's hospital and offer (提供) art activities for young patients.

  根据短文内容,回答下列问题。

1. What do many high schools in America ask their students to do in order to graduate?

2. What can you do if you love kids and are good at art?

3. How can you feel better when you hear the news of a disaster?

4. What's the main idea of the passage?

   Beijing is an old capital city developing at a fast pace. The Forbidden City is the ideal place for you to begin your exploration of Beijing by opening its mysterious (神奇的) face. With over 9 ,000 rooms and over 250 acres (英亩) ,this large palace building was built between 1406 and 1420. The Forbidden City burned down and was rebuilt,sacked and renovated (修复) for times,so most of the architecture (建筑) you can see today dates back to the 18th century in the Qing Dynasty. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes as you have to walk a lot!

   There is a Starbucks in the palace in case you need some coffee to recharge you. I highly recommend you to have a guide. It is quite helpful to have a guide escort (护送) you and tell the stories behind the palace. If you are a non-group tourist,I suggest you rent a multilingual guide recorder either at Meridian Gate (southern gate of Forbidden City) or the Gate of Divine Prowess (Northern gate of Forbidden City) and return it when you finish your Forbidden City Tour. Remember the open hours from 8: 30 to 17: 00.

   None of us enjoy feeling sad. But sadness is a natural healthy emotion that tells us something important about our lives and should never be ignored!

   ★ Let it out Have you ever had a good cry and felt better after? That's because crying is a physical outlet that allows us to move through emotion.

   ★If you are feeling sad right now,read this then to honor how you feel. You are feeling sad for a good reason. Sometimes we can change the situation that's making us feel sad and sometimes we can't. For example,if the last of your grown up kids is leaving home and you will miss them; you can't make them stay. But by working through these feelings rather than running away from them,you will discover them easing,leaving room for more positive emotions.

   ★ Spend some time alone with your sadness. Play sad songs or read sad poems,or look at photos that bring these feelings to the fore,and let the tears flow. Only when you touch the depth of your feelings will you start to push your way off the bottom to resurface a more rounded and wiser person,ready to smile and feel joyful again.

   ★ Spend time with friends or people who can relate to your feelings. When you are with people who you love,they will make it easy to cheer you up. You can call a friend or loved one who you can tell your sad story to,and maybe they’ll help you.

   There is a fish called the black spot angelfish,which can change from female (雌性) to male (雄性) . No,it cannot do it by simply wishing to become male. The change happens for a specific reason.

   The angelfish live in groups. And each group has one male fish,which is blue in color,and four female fish,which are yellow in color.

   The male angelfish is the strongest and largest member of the group. He is the one who protects and looks after the females and acts like their “safety guard”. When the male dies,the group needs a “safety guard”. This is when the largest female fish in the group begins to change its appearance.

   She begins to grow larger in size. After a week,she starts changing color,from yellow to blue. Slowly? the changes take place. She begins behaving like a male. Two weeks later,black spots appear on her body. This shows that the change is complete. She is now completely male!

   Another interesting fact about angelfish is that they make a special living in the fish world. Most of them act as “cleaners” for other fish. They pick parasites (寄生生物) and dead things from the body of other fish.

   Who is the one that helps me grow up,gives me advice,takes care of me,shows me the right way,always supports me greatly,gives me a birthdate and does many many things just for me? It's my mother. I love her and really admire her for many reasons.

   Perhaps,the thing makes me admire her the most is that she is the first teacher of mine. She has been teaching me everything since I was young until now,and for the future. I remember that the first foreign language I learned from her was Russian. I could speak some simple words in Russian when I was just 5 years old such as “hello”,“goodbye”. At that time,I wrote a poem about the ant and my mom. Of course,she was the first person listening to me.

   Now,she is still a best friend. I think she is the greatest psychologist that I have known. Sometimes when I was down because of failures in my life,I would go to meet her to ask for some advice. As I expect,I always felt better after that.

   I also admire her for her personality which is a mix of honesty and strong faith in god,cause and effect. “ Take us by ourselves into others’ position before doing anything ,” she said And she is also a predictor. She can know the future in her dreams. She ever told me that she had found out my father before seeing him. Besides,she was sure that I would be a boy before getting pregnant. Oh my god!It's strange. I can not do the same thing.

   There is a woman who plays an important part in my life and changes my thoughts and actions. I really love my mother. I think I am the happiest person because I have a great mother like her. How do you think of vour mother?

  We often ask for information or help,especially when we visit a foreign country. So knowing how to ask for information politely is important. In English ,“Where are the restrooms?” and “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are correct English,but the first could sound rude. It's important to use correct language,but sometimes we need to learn how to be polite.

   In English,just like in Chinese,we change the way we speak when talking with different people. If you say to your teacher ,“Where is my book?” This will sound rude. But if you say ,“Excuse me,Mr West. Do you know where my book is?^ Your question will sound much more polite. Of course it might be all right to say “Where is my book?” in some situations,perhaps with people you know well.

   “Peter,give me your pen. ”can sound rude in English. Usually in English,polite questions are longer such as “Could you please. or “Can I ask. It sounds more polite to say. “Peter,could you please give me your pen?,? Sometimes we might even need to spend some time when you stop a stranger in the street. We might first say ,“Excuse me. Can you help me?” or “I'm sorry to trouble you but. .. ”before asking them for help.

   It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct (直接) . However,if you want to be a polite person,you should learn about language etiquette (规矩) . It is just as important as learning grammar or vocabulary. And doing this will also help you become better at English,or any other language you wish to speak.(北京市朝阳区)

  Life is like potato salad;when it’s shared it becomes a picnic.

   When my three children were young,my husband,Roy, and I were very 1 ,even on weekends.

   “Can we go on a picnic,Mom?” my six-year-old daughter,Becky begged (祈求) . “Please. ”

   I had said no so many times in the 2 months,and I decided the usual Saturday morning chores could wait. To her 3 ,I agreed.

   I prepared a few sandwiches and 4 a cooler with ice and drinks and called Roy 5 . My eleven- year-old twin sons put the cooler and the picnic basket in the trunk and off we went to spend some 6 time together as a family.

   About the time I got the lunch spread out (铺开) on the 7 ,Roy arrived just 8 .

   That was one of the happiest meals we ever shared together. The meal was filled with laughter. We felt a closeness that had been hidden by work and school 9 for so many months. Roy and the boys skipped rocks into the lake. Becky fed the ducks and I sat quietly at the picnic table,10 God for blessing me with such a wonderful family.

   That night as our 11 went to bed,I kissed their cheeks and realized what a wonderful life I had.

   As I walked out of the room I realized that even during the busiest 12 we could have a picnic when it's shared with the ones you love.

   Even though the kids have now grown up and 13 from home,I can still remember how I felt that day while sitting at the picnic table.

   Maybe today would be a good time to 14 potato salad,so call all of my grown kids,feed some hungry ducks and skipped a few rocks into the lake. Since life is like potato salad,let's make it a 15 .(浙 江省杭州市2011—2012学年八年级第二学期全科竞赛英语试卷)
