Max’s Good Habit

Max reads more than anyone he knows. He loves to read during all of his free time. His friends tease（取笑） him because he would rather read than play video games, but his parents and his teachers are proud of him. They say reading is important, and it will help him learn about the world around him. They also tell him it is a good habit.

One day, Max was reading a passage about volcanoes. He told his friends all about volcanoes. The next week, his class was assigned（分配）a science project about volcanoes. Everyone wanted to be in his project group. Max’s friends didn’t tease him anymore.

Max ended up being in a group with Liz, Anna and Josh. The assignment was to create（创作）a poster board with information about volcanoes and to build a volcano model.

Max made copies of the passage about volcanoes so his project partners could read about them too. They also went to the library to look for more information about volcanoes.

The group met at Anna’s house that night to organize（组织）the information and decide what they wanted to put on the poster board. They all asked Max. They thought his ideas were the most important.

The next night they met at Josh’s house to build their volcano. They used cardboard and modeling clay（黏土）. First they made a volcano shape（形状）with the cardboard, and then

they covered the shape in brown and red clay. The red was lava flowing down the volcano.

They also stuck red clay to the top of the volcano to make it look like it was erupting（爆发）.

The volcano looked great. Max, Liz, Anna and Josh were very proud of their hard work. When they turned in their project, their teacher was proud, too.

Walking is one of the easiest forms of exercise. It’s really simple, right? Just get up and walk around. Most people don’t even consider (考虑) it as exercise, but it most certainly is.

Let’s look at the benefits (益处) of walking.

Walking is a low-impact (低强度的) exercise. If you can’t run, why not walk a bit? Walking for 30 minutes a day has many benefits. It can help keep your blood (血) healthy. It can improve your mood (情绪).

Another cool thing about walking is that you can talk while you’re doing it. If you’re running or playing team sports, you might not be able to catch your breath (呼吸) long enough to talk. But you can easily talk while you are walking. Walk with your dog, a friend or a family. You can talk about your day or get something off your mind. You can also look at

试卷第5页，共10页

the nature as you walk, that can let your worries disappear (消失).

Get out of your seat and get walking. Put on the comfortable shoes and walk a few minutes every day. It’s helpful in the morning to get your blood pumping (畅通) and your mind clear. After meals, it can help with digestion (消化). 27．Walking for 30 minutes a day can ________ . A．help keep your blood healthy B．improve your communication skills C．let you have new friends D．make you feel unhappy

28．What can we learn from the passage? A．Walking is a kind of heavy exercise. B．Walking can make you have clear mind. C．It is bad for you to walk after your meals.

D．People must stop talking when they walk with others. 29．Which of the following is the best title (题目) of the passage? A．The Mood of Walking. C．The Benefits of Walking.

Is Competition Really Good?

The world is full of competitions. All of us have some dreams（梦想）and want to be the best one. But there are more people and less positions. It means not everyone can be a singer or a doctor. So, if you want to become something or you have some abilities, you have to compete with others and prove yourself（证明你自己）. This process（过程）is named as a competition. In simple words, it is a process （过程）through which you can show how you are superior（更好的）to others.

The competitions are helpful for us. If someone doesn’t win, it does not mean they are unable, it shows they are not ready and should work harder for the next time. I can say that competition helps us to improve and analyze（分析）our progress（进步, 进展）. If you are one of those who work hard, then competition can really be helpful for you and will bring you success. Competition is important because it helps us to know our abilities and helps us to learn more. It also encourages people to become skilled.

There are different types（类型）of competitions. Some of them are organized（有组织

B．The Shoes of Walking. D．The Benefits of Team Sports.

的）, but some of them are. Sometimes we break our own records, we compete with ourselves（我们自己）and bring out the best of us. This is an internal competition. When we compete with people to prove ourselves, it is a worldly competition. It can be organized in schools, communities and many other teams. If you want to be a police officer, then you have to compete with others who also want to become police officers.

There should be a motive（动机）for our life and we should know it and work for it. All of us have different abilities and we can use our ability as our strongest factor（因素）to win. It is interesting when we are able and we compete. So, if we have more chances, we should take part in different competitions.

30．A competition is a process through which ________. A．people remember dreams B．people encourage each other C．people can be successful easily D．people show who is the best one

C．Kind to you.

D．Back to you.

32．The second paragraph is mainly about ________. A．the types of competition C．the importance of competition

B．the places of competition D．the programme of competition

33．The writer probably agrees（同意）that ________. A．the competitions can make us feel tired B．losing competitions means we are unable

40．例文：

I like working with others. Because I think that teamwork is very important in our life. A team is stronger than a person. So working with others is the key to success. Last term I played football in my school team. Although in the team everyone played perfectly, we lost the game at the beginning. Why? Because we didn’t know how to work together. With the help of the teachers, we paid more attention to teamwork, and then we made great progress. Through this experience I feel that teamwork helps me do things more effectively.
