33. One possible version:
Whenever I look back on old times, some memories shine bright and are vivid in mind.
I still remember the first time I learnt to ride a bike. That was one summer afternoon when I was seven years
old. Father was very pleased to be my “coach”. At first, I was too afraid to have a try. Father encouraged me a
lot. Finally, after falling off the bike several times, I could ride. How excited I was! And this experience teaches me
that nothing is difficult to the man who will try.
Now I like to ride my bike to school, to shops, to the park, to my friends homes ... It gives me a lot of
pleasure.2024-2025 学年八年级下册

A
Anger is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When your teacher gives you too
much homework, when your team loses an important game, and when a friend borrows your
favourite thing and then breaks it, you may get really angry.
Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe faster, your face
turns red, and you may want to break something or hit (打) someone, but sometimes, you hide (隐
藏) your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. The problem is that if you do this, you
may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.
In fact, it's not good to hide your anger, and it's normal for you to get angry sometimes. But
anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting yourself or others.
When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It's helpful to talk about your
anger with an adult, such as your parent, a teacher, etc. When you talk about anger, those bad
feelings can start to go away. Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry:
talk to a good friend; count from 1 to 100; give someone a hug; go for a bike ride; think about
good things, etc.
Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse. Don't let
your anger control you.
11.You may not get angry when ______.
A. there is too much homework to do this weekend
B. your favourite basketball team wins the game

I am Steve. I was born and grew up in South Wales. My favorite place to play was out on the
hills because I could think of many good ideas.
My family moved out of Wales when I was thirteen. I went to a new school. One of my
subjects was French. Because I had never learned French, my teacher told me to sit in the corner
and write anything I was interested in. That was the time when I started writing, just for myself,
and I've been writing ever since.
I have always loved big ideas, and so I enjoy writing fantastic stories. And I also write horror
stories (恐怖故事). I think they are like the old fairy tales (童话故事), and can teach you
important things.
I am in my forties on the outside, but twelve on the inside. I like rock music, Indian and
Chinese food, and I enjoy drinking. I live in a small village with my wife Mary, ducks, cats, goats,
hens and lots of rabbits. If you'd like to find out more about me and hope to buy my books, go to

My name is Jack. When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in
Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and
culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect (尊敬) the elderly. Unluckily,
this rule led to my first embarrassment in the United States.
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One day, when I was serving food to a
middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I
had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respected the elderly. As soon as I said
that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me
aside and gave me a long talk about how sensitive (敏感的) Americans were and how they
disliked the description "old" . I then walked back to the table and said sorry to the wife. After the
couple heard my reason, they understood the cultural difference, so they laughed and were no
longer angry.
In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or
eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people
always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don't respect them any
more; I still respect them, but now I don't show my feelings through words.

A. the manager asked him to do so

A. 尴尬 B. 拮据 C. 潦倒 D. 敬仰
28.In the writer's hometown, .
A. people dislike being called "old" because they can't learn from others
B. many people reach the age of seventy or eighty
C. people are proud of being old
D. the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants
29.Which of the following is TRUE
A. The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.
B. Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience.
C. The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple.
