（2022春·上海浦东新·八年级校考期中）One day, a farmer’s donkey fell into a dry well. The poor animal cried for hours before his owner finally found him. The farmer tried hard to pull him out from the well but failed. He felt very sorry for the donkey but after carefully thinking about the situation, he decided that he would not save the donkey. Since the donkey was too old and it was not worth the trouble of saving. So he invited his neighbours to help him bury(埋葬) the old donkey in the well so that it would make him end his pain.
Hearing many people coming to help, the old donkey was excited at first. As they began to scoop the dirt into the well with shovels (铲子), he soon realized what was happening. He felt very upset and cried sadly again. As the farmer and his neighbours continued throwing the dirt on his back, he suddenly had a good idea. Some time later, when the farmer finally looked down into the well, he was surprised at what he saw: every time the dirt landed on his back, he would shake it off and take a step up!
Soon, everyone was amazed when the donkey stepped proudly over the edge of the well and ran away quickly! It seemed that it would bury him at first, but it actually helped him later because of the manner in which he faced his trouble.
That is life! Just like the donkey, life is going to throw dirt on us, all kinds of dirt. As long as we face our problems in an active way, and refuse to give in to any trouble, each dirt is like a stepping stone with which we get out of the deepest wells. Never stop and never give up. Success is just on the way.

（2022春·上海静安·八年级校考期中）Answer the questions：
Each year several thousand people are killed on the road in Great Britain. Every year between one and two hundred thousand people are injured, or killed in road accidents.
If you are in England and if you listen to the eight o’clock news from BBC, you will often hear news of road accidents. You may hear something like this: “On last Monday evening, at about twenty minutes to ten, a cyclist was knocked down by a truck at crossing of Oak Road and High Street in Croydon. The cyclist had died from his injuries. Anyone who saw the accident please communicate with New Scotland Yard, telephone number Whitehall one, two, one, two.”
Accidents are often caused by carelessness. If everybody obeys the rules, the roads will be much safer. How can we make the road safer?
In Great Britain traffic keeps on to the left. Motor-cars, trucks, buses and cyclists must all keep to the left side of the road. In most other countries traffic keeps to the right.
Before crossing the road, stop and look both ways. Look right, look left, look right again. Then, if you are sure that the road is clear, and there is nothing coming, it is safe to cross the road. If you see small children, or very old people, or blind people waiting to cross the road, it is kind to help them to cross the road in safety.
We must teach young children to cross the road safely and set them a good example so that there will be fewer and fewer accidents and our life will be safer.

8．Accidents aren’t often caused by carelessness, are they?

Almost everyone shares the same daily routine（例行公事）: beginning the day by reading the newspaper, then going off to work and then returning home tired and ready for bed. Younger people in school or college may have a different routine from adults, but their lives are pretty similar. Most people, young or old, can’t find the time or energy to relax and enjoy the day. Luckily, music is here to help us forget our worries and feel peaceful. Besides being pleasant to the ear, music can help us relax. Music is also good because it can teach us something about different languages and cultures and all around the world. Everyone likes music and every country has a history of music to be proud of. From birth to death, we have music along with us. Music, like all forms of art, is another way to add peace to our lives. Modern studies show that relaxing music can do good to our bodies in some way as hard exercise does. Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician, said that some kinds of music could change behavior patterns. Listening to the sounds of music can make us relax ourselves. Music can help people communicate and express their feelings. Every day people enjoy songs on the radio because the songs reflect（反映）their feelings inside. Lovers need love songs for each other. As much as music expresses feelings, it can also change feelings. A sad day can be made happy with the help of music. Sometimes when we feel angry we need angry music to make us feel better. Music can also help people remember something. School children are taught to sing songs about colors, animals and letters to help them memorize new words and concepts（概念）. Music can change people’s lives in unimaginable ways.

（2023春·上海·八年级期中）Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答问题）
Exam time is the most stressful (压力重的) period of the year. You have worked all school term on your classes and now it’s the time to prove what you have learned. With so much at stake (处于成败关头), it is easy to get stressed about your exams. However, with the right amount of hard work and focus you can pass your tests with ease!
When I was in school, I used to get very stressed over my exams. So did my friends. Some people stopped eating and others ate too much! Some gave up and others burned themselves out! The most important thing to remember when studying is not to feel frightened! Take the middle path—stay calm, eat healthy and get a rest. Pushing yourself too hard is just as dangerous as not studying enough. A tired, overworked brain is just as useless as a lazy, empty one!
So, what should you do? Arrange a time each day for study and a time for relaxation. You may have less time to relax than usual, but you still need to let your brain rest for a few moments. Get plenty of sleep. If you are tired, information will not stick in your memory. Finally eat healthy foods that fuel your body and mind.
It does no good to think too much about your exams. Some students may think that the rest of their life depends on them. That’s not true. Instead, just view the exams as another difficulty you will overcome. You have overcome all kinds of difficulties in your life so far. With the right amount of work and focus, you will pass your exams with flying colours! High school is right around the corner!

（2022春·上海奉贤·八年级校联考期中）Agatha Christie (阿加莎·克里斯蒂) is one of the most popular writers of all time. About four billion copies of her books have been sold. And they have been translated into 103 languages. She is often called the queen of the “whodunit”. A whodunit is a story that starts with a crime (犯罪), usually murder (凶杀).Then the main character of the story tries to discover who did it (or who-done-it). Readers love Agatha Christie’s stories because there are lots of clues and puzzles for them to think about as they read. Her two most famous characters are the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and the elderly amateur (业余的) detective Miss Marple. Christie always wrote about places that she knew, like Torquay, the English town where she was born in 1890.
Agatha Christie died in 1976 but her books continue to be popular today. For one week every year,lovers of her stories can go to the Agatha Christie Festival in Torquay. People dress up in clothes from the 1920s and 1930s, like characters in her stories. Jazz bands play at tea parties and there are dinners on old trains and at old country houses. “Murder” is everywhere, and visitors have a lot of fun trying to discover who the “killer” is—or whodunit.

（2022春·上海杨浦·八年级上海同济大学附属存志学校校考期中）Getting Creative with crime
An experiment carried out at Newcastle University aimed at reducing the number of bike thefts has produced some unusual results. The most efficient way of stopping people from stealing bikes seems almost too simple to be true. If you want to persuade thieves not to act, make them feel they’re being watched!
Posters showing a large pair of eyes were put up near three bike racks at the university, while other bike racks had no posters. The researchers explained that the number of thefts decreased by 62 per cent compared to the previous year at racks with posters. However, at the other racks, thefts actually increased by 63 per cent. Experts claim that clearly visible images of eyes make people feel they’re being watched. They say that we all care what other people think about us and that’s why we behave better when we think someone is looking. Now officials have agreed to carry out similar projects at train stations all over the country.
The “giant eyes” poster isn’t the only unusual method being used to try and fight crime on UK streets. In the East Midlands city of Leicester, police are inviting people to make large woolly balls and hang them up in trees around the area. They hope that these colourful additions to neighbourhoods will help create a safer place to live. The thinking behind the idea is that if you create a pleasant environment, people are more likely to behave better. “We live in a world where our every move is being watched by CCTV cameras”, one of the organisers told us. “The cameras are there to deter (威慑) possible criminals, but they come at a price, and many people don’t like being watched 24 hours a day. We believe there’s another way. We want to encourage people to take more pride in where they live.”
However, not all residents are happy—many refuse to believe it will make any difference. They’re demanding that the police do more to reduce trouble in the area. One local resident told us, I recommend that the police stop wasting their time on mad plans like this and do some real policing. We need to see more policemen walking around our streets, especially at night.

（2022春·上海普陀·八年级统考期中）Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题)
Do you have the courage to climb mountains? Do you have a clear head to stay calm in an emergency (危急)? Would you know what to do if somebody broke their leg?
Tamsen Bell, an eighteen-year-old girl from California in America, can answer yes to all those questions. She joined the Marine Search and Rescue Team when she was only 14 years old—the youngest age you can do this. She spent the hardest time in the team. She had to be trained for 60 hours to learn about first aid, climbing, map reading and rescue methods before she began to help others. But she achieved a lot from her teacher and teammates. The training gave her the confidence to do the job. Now she is one of 20 youth volunteers in the rescue team whose motto (座右铭) is “Any time, any place, any weather.” They are often called out in the middle of the night to help people who have got into trouble in the wild countryside of California. So she usually had to stay up and got up early the next morning.
When Tamsen was 16 years old, she helped to rescue an old woman who had fallen 50 feet down a steep cliff (陡峭悬崖). The woman broke her neck and couldn’t move. What’s more, it was snowing heavily that afternoon and she had to cover the old lady with her own clothes. She had to stay with the lady for 8 hours until the rescue team could lift her carefully back up the mountain to safety. The next day she had to lie in bed because of the bad cold.
It’s tough work, but Tamsen thinks it’s worth it. She says “The best part of the job is ______________________________________.”

Time Temp Glasses
Are you a person who wants to know the time and temperature during the day? You might like Time Temp Glasses. These special glasses show the time above your right eye and the temperature above your left eye. It is surely easier than wearing a wristwatch, and you never have to guess the temperature.
Alarm Fork
Do you eat too quickly? Do you eat too much? How can the Alarm Fork help you? Aren’t you curious? Well, this special fork has two lights: one green and one red. When the green light is on, it’s OK to take a bite of food. The fork “knows” when you take a bite, and soon the red light goes on. Wait for the green light before you take another bite.
Smell This
How do you know if your breath smells nice, or if it smells bad? It’s difficult to know, because it’s very hard to smell the air that comes out of your own mouth. Smell This is useful for this situation. Smell This covers your nose and your mouth, so it is easy to smell the air that comes out of your mouth. Does your breath smell nice, or do you need a piece of gum?
Banana Suitcase
Had this ever happened to you? You put a banana in your lunch bag in the morning, and when you open the bag at noon, the banana looks like someone drove a car over it. If you put your banana in the Banana Suitcase, this will never happen. It keeps a banana safe, delicious and looking like a banana!

When the new term came, I had a new classmate, a little old lady with a warm smile. She said, “Hi, handsome! I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug(拥抱)?”
I said heartily, “Of course!”
“Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked.
She joked, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then travel around.”
“No, seriously,” I asked.
“I always dreamed of having a college education. Now I’m getting one!” she told me.
Over the year, Rose became an icon(偶像). She easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from other students.
At the end of the term, we invited Rose to speak at our banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us.
“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. Here are the secrets of staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!” she said.
“There is a big difference between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow old. That doesn’t take any talent or ability,” She added. “But to grow up, you have to find the chances in change. Have no regrets(遗憾). We usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.”

When I was a little child, I learned many kinds of skills. I learned how to do chores around the house, some first aids and outdoor survival skills. There’s one skill that’s really useful in everyday life—basic home repair.
Being able to take care of repairs around the house is very satisfying. It might be difficult at first, but when you know more about your tools, it becomes easier.
For example, I had some problems with the shower head in my bathroom a few days ago. I didn’t call a repairman to replace it—who knows how much money the repairman would want me to pay for? So I bought a new shower head and replaced it myself.
The task was so simple that it only took me several minutes. As I fixed the new shower head on, I felt a sense of achievement. Of course, there are lots of repairs that are more difficult. My brother, for example, has repaired the TV set in his house many times. With the help of online instructional videos, he has saved thousands of dollars in repairman fee over the years. Skills like these not only save us money, but more importantly, make us more independent and confident. Doing chores around your house is easier than you think.

The wounded man said that he was the king’s enemy and had wanted to kill the king. He asked for forgiveness and promised to serve the king faithfully (忠诚地).
Afterwards, the king repeated his questions to the wise man. The wise man replied, “If you had not helped me dig earlier, you would have left and been killed. So, the most important man back then was me, and the most important time was when you were digging. The most important thing to do was to be kind to me.

（2021春·上海浦东新·八年级上海市进才中学北校校考期中）Millions of film viewers are excited about the Indian movie Dangal(摔跤吧，爸爸), not just because it’s a well-produced movie. It’s the true story of an Indian father, Mahavir Phogat, who trained his daughters to become the best wrestlers(摔跤选手) of the country when women weren’t even considered to be able of wrestling.
Phogat’s inspiration to train his daughters to become wrestlers came from Kamam Malleswari, the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal. Phogat thought his girls can lead the country in women’s wrestling if he trained them properly. So he gave up his job and taught them all the tricks he knew from his own experience as a wrestler. The girls, Geeta and Babita, started their training by running on the farm every day.
Since there were no other female wrestlers in the village, the girls had to compete with the boys. However, the villagers laughed at them and told them to go back home for wrestling was a “male” sport.
However, Phogat didn’t listen to any of this. Eventually, he took his girls to the Sports Authority(部门) of India, where they trained under professional coaches. In 2010, Geeta Phogat became the first Indian woman to win a gold medal in the 55 kg freestyle women’s wrestling at the Commonwealth Games. Babita Phogat finished with a silver medal. In 2012, Geeta became the first Indian woman to win a bronze(铜) medal at World Wrestling Championship. Babita won her first gold medal at the 2014 Common wealth Games.
The Phogat sisters have shown that women can stand out in any sport if they put their heart and hard work into it. They have also proved that wrestling is not just a man’s sport. It’s a message of encouragement to all the women who have been working hard for their dreams.

（2022春·上海浦东新·八年级校考期中）One day, a farmer’s donkey fell into a dry well. The poor animal cried for hours before his owner finally found him. The farmer tried hard to pull him out from the well but failed. He felt very sorry for the donkey but after carefully thinking about the situation, he decided that he would not save the donkey. Since the donkey was too old and it was not worth the trouble of saving. So he invited his neighbours to help him bury(埋葬) the old donkey in the well so that it would make him end his pain.
Hearing many people coming to help, the old donkey was excited at first. As they began to scoop the dirt into the well with shovels (铲子), he soon realized what was happening. He felt very upset and cried sadly again. As the farmer and his neighbours continued throwing the dirt on his back, he suddenly had a good idea. Some time later, when the farmer finally looked down into the well, he was surprised at what he saw: every time the dirt landed on his back, he would shake it off and take a step up!
Soon, everyone was amazed when the donkey stepped proudly over the edge of the well and ran away quickly! It seemed that it would bury him at first, but it actually helped him later because of the manner in which he faced his trouble.
That is life! Just like the donkey, life is going to throw dirt on us, all kinds of dirt. As long as we face our problems in an active way, and refuse to give in to any trouble, each dirt is like a stepping stone with which we get out of the deepest wells. Never stop and never give up. Success is just on the way.

（2022春·上海静安·八年级校考期中）Answer the questions：
Each year several thousand people are killed on the road in Great Britain. Every year between one and two hundred thousand people are injured, or killed in road accidents.
If you are in England and if you listen to the eight o’clock news from BBC, you will often hear news of road accidents. You may hear something like this: “On last Monday evening, at about twenty minutes to ten, a cyclist was knocked down by a truck at crossing of Oak Road and High Street in Croydon. The cyclist had died from his injuries. Anyone who saw the accident please communicate with New Scotland Yard, telephone number Whitehall one, two, one, two.”
Accidents are often caused by carelessness. If everybody obeys the rules, the roads will be much safer. How can we make the road safer?
In Great Britain traffic keeps on to the left. Motor-cars, trucks, buses and cyclists must all keep to the left side of the road. In most other countries traffic keeps to the right.
Before crossing the road, stop and look both ways. Look right, look left, look right again. Then, if you are sure that the road is clear, and there is nothing coming, it is safe to cross the road. If you see small children, or very old people, or blind people waiting to cross the road, it is kind to help them to cross the road in safety.
We must teach young children to cross the road safely and set them a good example so that there will be fewer and fewer accidents and our life will be safer.

Almost everyone shares the same daily routine（例行公事）: beginning the day by reading the newspaper, then going off to work and then returning home tired and ready for bed. Younger people in school or college may have a different routine from adults, but their lives are pretty similar. Most people, young or old, can’t find the time or energy to relax and enjoy the day. Luckily, music is here to help us forget our worries and feel peaceful. Besides being pleasant to the ear, music can help us relax. Music is also good because it can teach us something about different languages and cultures and all around the world. Everyone likes music and every country has a history of music to be proud of. From birth to death, we have music along with us. Music, like all forms of art, is another way to add peace to our lives. Modern studies show that relaxing music can do good to our bodies in some way as hard exercise does. Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician, said that some kinds of music could change behavior patterns. Listening to the sounds of music can make us relax ourselves. Music can help people communicate and express their feelings. Every day people enjoy songs on the radio because the songs reflect（反映）their feelings inside. Lovers need love songs for each other. As much as music expresses feelings, it can also change feelings. A sad day can be made happy with the help of music. Sometimes when we feel angry we need angry music to make us feel better. Music can also help people remember something. School children are taught to sing songs about colors, animals and letters to help them memorize new words and concepts（概念）. Music can change people’s lives in unimaginable ways.

（2023春·上海·八年级期中）Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答问题）
Exam time is the most stressful (压力重的) period of the year. You have worked all school term on your classes and now it’s the time to prove what you have learned. With so much at stake (处于成败关头), it is easy to get stressed about your exams. However, with the right amount of hard work and focus you can pass your tests with ease!
When I was in school, I used to get very stressed over my exams. So did my friends. Some people stopped eating and others ate too much! Some gave up and others burned themselves out! The most important thing to remember when studying is not to feel frightened! Take the middle path—stay calm, eat healthy and get a rest. Pushing yourself too hard is just as dangerous as not studying enough. A tired, overworked brain is just as useless as a lazy, empty one!
So, what should you do? Arrange a time each day for study and a time for relaxation. You may have less time to relax than usual, but you still need to let your brain rest for a few moments. Get plenty of sleep. If you are tired, information will not stick in your memory. Finally eat healthy foods that fuel your body and mind.
It does no good to think too much about your exams. Some students may think that the rest of their life depends on them. That’s not true. Instead, just view the exams as another difficulty you will overcome. You have overcome all kinds of difficulties in your life so far. With the right amount of work and focus, you will pass your exams with flying colours! High school is right around the corner!

（2022春·上海奉贤·八年级校联考期中）Agatha Christie (阿加莎·克里斯蒂) is one of the most popular writers of all time. About four billion copies of her books have been sold. And they have been translated into 103 languages. She is often called the queen of the “whodunit”. A whodunit is a story that starts with a crime (犯罪), usually murder (凶杀).Then the main character of the story tries to discover who did it (or who-done-it). Readers love Agatha Christie’s stories because there are lots of clues and puzzles for them to think about as they read. Her two most famous characters are the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and the elderly amateur (业余的) detective Miss Marple. Christie always wrote about places that she knew, like Torquay, the English town where she was born in 1890.
Agatha Christie died in 1976 but her books continue to be popular today. For one week every year,lovers of her stories can go to the Agatha Christie Festival in Torquay. People dress up in clothes from the 1920s and 1930s, like characters in her stories. Jazz bands play at tea parties and there are dinners on old trains and at old country houses. “Murder” is everywhere, and visitors have a lot of fun trying to discover who the “killer” is—or whodunit.

（2022春·上海杨浦·八年级上海同济大学附属存志学校校考期中）Getting Creative with crime
An experiment carried out at Newcastle University aimed at reducing the number of bike thefts has produced some unusual results. The most efficient way of stopping people from stealing bikes seems almost too simple to be true. If you want to persuade thieves not to act, make them feel they’re being watched!
Posters showing a large pair of eyes were put up near three bike racks at the university, while other bike racks had no posters. The researchers explained that the number of thefts decreased by 62 per cent compared to the previous year at racks with posters. However, at the other racks, thefts actually increased by 63 per cent. Experts claim that clearly visible images of eyes make people feel they’re being watched. They say that we all care what other people think about us and that’s why we behave better when we think someone is looking. Now officials have agreed to carry out similar projects at train stations all over the country.
The “giant eyes” poster isn’t the only unusual method being used to try and fight crime on UK streets. In the East Midlands city of Leicester, police are inviting people to make large woolly balls and hang them up in trees around the area. They hope that these colourful additions to neighbourhoods will help create a safer place to live. The thinking behind the idea is that if you create a pleasant environment, people are more likely to behave better. “We live in a world where our every move is being watched by CCTV cameras”, one of the organisers told us. “The cameras are there to deter (威慑) possible criminals, but they come at a price, and many people don’t like being watched 24 hours a day. We believe there’s another way. We want to encourage people to take more pride in where they live.”
However, not all residents are happy—many refuse to believe it will make any difference. They’re demanding that the police do more to reduce trouble in the area. One local resident told us, I recommend that the police stop wasting their time on mad plans like this and do some real policing. We need to see more policemen walking around our streets, especially at night.

（2022春·上海普陀·八年级统考期中）Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题)
Do you have the courage to climb mountains? Do you have a clear head to stay calm in an emergency (危急)? Would you know what to do if somebody broke their leg?
Tamsen Bell, an eighteen-year-old girl from California in America, can answer yes to all those questions. She joined the Marine Search and Rescue Team when she was only 14 years old—the youngest age you can do this. She spent the hardest time in the team. She had to be trained for 60 hours to learn about first aid, climbing, map reading and rescue methods before she began to help others. But she achieved a lot from her teacher and teammates. The training gave her the confidence to do the job. Now she is one of 20 youth volunteers in the rescue team whose motto (座右铭) is “Any time, any place, any weather.” They are often called out in the middle of the night to help people who have got into trouble in the wild countryside of California. So she usually had to stay up and got up early the next morning.
When Tamsen was 16 years old, she helped to rescue an old woman who had fallen 50 feet down a steep cliff (陡峭悬崖). The woman broke her neck and couldn’t move. What’s more, it was snowing heavily that afternoon and she had to cover the old lady with her own clothes. She had to stay with the lady for 8 hours until the rescue team could lift her carefully back up the mountain to safety. The next day she had to lie in bed because of the bad cold.
It’s tough work, but Tamsen thinks it’s worth it. She says “The best part of the job is ______________________________________.”

Are you a person who wants to know the time and temperature during the day? You might like Time Temp Glasses. These special glasses show the time above your right eye and the temperature above your left eye. It is surely easier than wearing a wristwatch, and you never have to guess the temperature.
Alarm Fork
Do you eat too quickly? Do you eat too much? How can the Alarm Fork help you? Aren’t you curious? Well, this special fork has two lights: one green and one red. When the green light is on, it’s OK to take a bite of food. The fork “knows” when you take a bite, and soon the red light goes on. Wait for the green light before you take another bite.
Smell This
How do you know if your breath smells nice, or if it smells bad? It’s difficult to know, because it’s very hard to smell the air that comes out of your own mouth. Smell This is useful for this situation. Smell This covers your nose and your mouth, so it is easy to smell the air that comes out of your mouth. Does your breath smell nice, or do you need a piece of gum?
Banana Suitcase
Had this ever happened to you? You put a banana in your lunch bag in the morning, and when you open the bag at noon, the banana looks like someone drove a car over it. If you put your banana in the Banana Suitcase, this will never happen. It keeps a banana safe, delicious and looking like a banana!

Growing up or Growing old
When the new term came, I had a new classmate, a little old lady with a warm smile. She said, “Hi, handsome! I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug(拥抱)?”
I said heartily, “Of course!”
“Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked.
She joked, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then travel around.”
“No, seriously,” I asked.
“I always dreamed of having a college education. Now I’m getting one!” she told me.
Over the year, Rose became an icon(偶像). She easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from other students.
At the end of the term, we invited Rose to speak at our banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us.
“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. Here are the secrets of staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!” she said.
“There is a big difference between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow old. That doesn’t take any talent or ability,” She added. “But to grow up, you have to find the chances in change. Have no regrets(遗憾). We usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.”
One week after graduation(毕业), Rose died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.

（2021春·上海·八年级校联考期中）Answer the questions（根据短文内容, 回答下列问题）
When I was a little child, I learned many kinds of skills. I learned how to do chores around the house, some first aids and outdoor survival skills. There’s one skill that’s really useful in everyday life—basic home repair.
Being able to take care of repairs around the house is very satisfying. It might be difficult at first, but when you know more about your tools, it becomes easier.
For example, I had some problems with the shower head in my bathroom a few days ago. I didn’t call a repairman to replace it—who knows how much money the repairman would want me to pay for? So I bought a new shower head and replaced it myself.
The task was so simple that it only took me several minutes. As I fixed the new shower head on, I felt a sense of achievement. Of course, there are lots of repairs that are more difficult. My brother, for example, has repaired the TV set in his house many times. With the help of online instructional videos, he has saved thousands of dollars in repairman fee over the years. Skills like these not only save us money, but more importantly, make us more independent and confident. Doing chores around your house is easier than you think.

（2021春·上海浦东新·八年级上海市进才中学北校校考期中）Millions of film viewers are excited about the Indian movie Dangal(摔跤吧，爸爸), not just because it’s a well-produced movie. It’s the true story of an Indian father, Mahavir Phogat, who trained his daughters to become the best wrestlers(摔跤选手) of the country when women weren’t even considered to be able of wrestling.
Phogat’s inspiration to train his daughters to become wrestlers came from Kamam Malleswari, the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal. Phogat thought his girls can lead the country in women’s wrestling if he trained them properly. So he gave up his job and taught them all the tricks he knew from his own experience as a wrestler. The girls, Geeta and Babita, started their training by running on the farm every day.
Since there were no other female wrestlers in the village, the girls had to compete with the boys. However, the villagers laughed at them and told them to go back home for wrestling was a “male” sport.
However, Phogat didn’t listen to any of this. Eventually, he took his girls to the Sports Authority(部门) of India, where they trained under professional coaches. In 2010, Geeta Phogat became the first Indian woman to win a gold medal in the 55 kg freestyle women’s wrestling at the Commonwealth Games. Babita Phogat finished with a silver medal. In 2012, Geeta became the first Indian woman to win a bronze(铜) medal at World Wrestling Championship. Babita won her first gold medal at the 2014 Common wealth Games.
The Phogat sisters have shown that women can stand out in any sport if they put their heart and hard work into it. They have also proved that wrestling is not just a man’s sport. It’s a message of encouragement to all the women who have been working hard for their dreams.
