八年级上册期末复习专项-任务型阅读 (一) I am a helpless(无助的) mother. I have a fourteen-year-old son. His name is Paul. My first problem is about his hobbies. He spends almost all his free time playing computer games. When he gets home, he always turns on the computer and closes the door. I'm getting worried about him, especially when his English teacher tells me he always gets low marks(分数) in the English exams. Second, he likes collecting model cars, but I don't have enough money to buy all the things that he wants. My last problem is that he is always alone. He hardly talks with his friends on the phone or goes out with anyone onweekends. What should I do to help him? Please give me some advice.1.What's the purpose(且的) of this passage?_____________________________________________________________________________2.

What does Paul usually do in his free time?_____________________________________________________________________________4. What advice will you give to the mother and why?_____________________________________________________________________________(二) Do you often travel? Do you often stay in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide(提供) guests with disposable(一次性的) things,1ike toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers(拖鞋). Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things. Many disposable things are made of plastic(塑料). People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources(资源) and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400 kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 2, 320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year ! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down(分解). So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your everyday life. Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school dining room, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of (代替) disposable ones. To protect our environment and our home, it is very necessary and important for us to save natural resources.1.

About six million children die of hunger every year. So think about it. We should say no to people who waste food every day. An old saying goes, 6'Every grain on the plate comes from hard work.

What should we do in our daily life to stop wasting food? We can do many things to prevent it from happening. Here aresome tips: Don't order too much food in a restaurant. Only order as much as you can eat. If you can't eat all the food you order, take the rest of it home. Don't be too picky(挑剔的) about food. Some food may not be tasty, but our body need it.

It means the slapping(拍打) of each other's right hands together. People do it when something happy happens.

But how to make museums and their historical collections(收藏品) more attractive(有吸引力的) is a difficult question. National Treasure《国家宝藏 》, a cultural program which began to air(播出 ) on Channel 3 of China Central Television(CCTV) on December 3, provides new ways to make people take more interest in museums and collections. The show uses different ways to show the background stories of the national treasures. Each treasure is shown by "national treasure keepers", both famous actors and common people.

However, I will stop ho ping and dreaming this time and make the resolutions only. First of all, I'm going to spend less time talking and more time doing. In the past(过去的) year, my friends and I spent too much time talking nonsense(胡说八道). There is much work to do in the new year, so I'm going to give the year to it. Secondly , I'm going to spend less time in front of the TV and the computer. These are fun things but they are also very time-wasting(浪费时间的). It's better to spend the time reading books. Lastly, I'm going to join in fewer sports activities. It is better to do well in the lessons than on the playground. The legs will get old and cannot play soccer for very long, but the mind will be much more durable(持久的). I made lots of resolutions but didn't keep them before.
