One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.The reporter was talking to them about being important.“How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker.The banker thought for a few moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President is really important.”The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. Youd only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President said he was too busy to answer it.”The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?”“No, I dont.” he said. “I dont think that makes the visitor important.

We had a wonderful time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. In spring every year, Perth has the wild flowers exhibition. After visiting Perth, we spent a day in the countryside. We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could.

But we also need to learn from the defeat.During sports month at our school, all classes in Grade 8 competed in volleyball games. After losing one of the games, the atmosphere (氣氛) in our class was kind of unbearable (無(wú)法忍受的), just like big, black clouds hanging over the classroom. Some of us even cried. Then I began to question myself: How did we let this happen?The answer was clear enough. Our players always practiced playing volleyball. However, it seemed that we didnt do it the right way to beat the opponents (對(duì)手). So it meant that our practice time was wasted. Also, the girls were too nervous to calm down in the game. That was why we lost too many points in the second round. So we failed because we had the wrong methods (方法) and attitudes(態(tài)度). Life is full of unexpected (意想不到的) failures. We should face the fact and have self-examinations to find out why we failed. Sometimes, we are fighting with ourselves. Because of our hard work, we will win. And also because of our faults, we will lose.（1）Everyone enjoys being a winner. （2）After losing one of the games, my classmates felt upset about it. （3）The girls were too calm down in the game. （4）We lost the game because we didnt practice playing volleyball. （5）We lost many points in the third round. 10. （8分）閱讀理解 The main difference between China and Western countries on the dinner table is chopsticks instead of a knife and fork, but thats just a small difference. Besides, in decent(像樣的) restaurants, you can always ask for a knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal(正式的) dinner and particularly if the host thinks youre in the country for the first time, he will do his best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes. The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup will then be served (unless it is a Guangdong-style restaurant), followed by rice, noodles or dumplings. Perhaps one of the things that surprise a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food onto their guests plates. In formal dinners, there are always public chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of real friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just leave the food on the plate. People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing(令人尷尬的) if all the food is consumed(吃光). When you have had enough, just say so, or you will always overeat!（1）Whats the real difference between Chinese and Western table manners? A . The tools people use to eat.B . Whether people share food on the same plate.C . The things people like to eat.D . How to begin the dinner politely.（2）If a foreigner first comes to have dinner in a Chinese family, he may be _. A . given little foodB . served with rice firstC . served with many dishesD . asked to use public chopsticks（3）Which of the following is the RIGHT order for most Chinese formal dinners according to the passage? A . Rice-soup-hot meat-cold dishes.B . Vegetable dishes-soup-dumplings-cold dishes.C . Cold dishes-hot meat-soup-rice.D . Cold dishes-soup-hot meat-rice.（4）Whats the best title for this passage? A . Having dinner with foreignersB . How to use chopsticksC . The importance of table mannersD . Chinese table manners四、 詞匯運(yùn)用。 (共2題；共15分)11. （5分）用方框中所給單詞的適當(dāng)形式填空。每空一詞，每詞限用一次。two bad you talent comfortable（1）Let me get you a mirror so that you can take a look at _.（2）Im sitting on the sofa _ and watching TV. （3）The restaurant is the _ in town.

Britain? Which country is better to study in?” We often hear such discussion. As China opens its door, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They want to learn about the world. Its true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves.
