（2021·内蒙古·呼伦贝尔市海拉尔区教育研修中心八年级期末）Each culture has its special ways of greeting（问候） people. However, because of COVID-19（新冠肺炎）, proper greetings in many countries have experienced changes. Let’s take a look.
The US
People in the US often shake hands with people they have just met. How the handshake began is uncertain, but most would agree that it is quite a good way to greet each other. In the past, the shaking of the right hand showed that the person was not carrying anything dangerous.
But today, things are different. According to China Daily, many American people now greet each other with their elbows（肘部）. With only a little touch, the elbow greeting makes the hands free, which is good news.
France
France is famous for its special greeting ways. They touch others’ faces and make a kissing sound. For them, it tells others, “we trust and care about each other.” However, as the COVID-19 has spread all over the world, this greeting is now banned in the country. Newspapers are filled with advice on how to take the place of the famous French kiss on the face.
India
Most people in India perform a namaskar（合十礼）as a greeting. People need to place their hands together with a bow（鞠躬）. But some young people’s greeting habits have changed because of their experiences of studying abroad. They like to offer a handshake and a kiss today. In March, the Prime Minister called on his people to use only the namaskar at this special time.

（2021·广东·花都区明珠学校八年级期末）In the summer between my first year and second year in college, I was invited (邀请) to be a teacher at a high school camp. On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, “No, I really don’t want to do this.” I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn’t be right to force (强迫) him, either.

At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when I saw the boy under the tree sitting alone. I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused once again.

In October of my second year, I received a phone call from Tommy’s mother. The mother said, “Tommy talked about you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends confidently. You made a difference for Tommy. Thank you so much.”
At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own “boy under the tree”.

（2021·辽宁沈阳·八年级期末）From milk to meat, cows provide so many things for us. But are cows born to produce food? Jasmine Hubber, a 21-year-old New Zealander.
Hubber’s parents used to run a large dairy farm. The cruelty of the beef and dairy industry shocked her at a young age. “How greedy people are!” she thought.
Hubber decided to change the fate(命运) of the cows on her family farm. In 2017, she talked her family into going vegan (吃素食), she set up her “Till the Cows Come Home” sanctuary(保护区).She has now saved hundreds of cows from their one-way trip to the slaughterhouse (屠宰场).
Saving cows is totally different from saving small animals like dogs. The costs of caring for larger animals are higher. Most farmers don’t want to give away a cow, so Hubber often has to buy the animal to save it. “I don’t like paying for animals,” she said. “But it is necessary when a life is on the line.”
Now, Hubber wants to arrange public tours of her sanctuary, she wants more people to see that their plates full of meat used to be living animals. The Year of the Ox is already here. Will you also take a different look at cows?
60．In Hubber’s opinion, ________.
A．cows are born to produce food B．people are greedy to keep many vegetables
C．it’s cruel to get meat and milk from cows D．the price of beef should be higher
61．How did Hubber change the fate of cows?
A．She encouraged her family to eat less meat. B．She set up a sanctuary for cows.

62．Hubber often has to buy cows to save them because _________.
A．few farmers want to give away cows B．she almost eats vegetables
C．they are all her friends D．their meat is expensive
63．What can you know about after reading the text?

C．Hubber’s parents run a large dairy farm now. D．Hubber wants more people to save cows.
（2021·广西·富川瑶族自治县教学研究室八年级期末）Here is a story of the Baiji River Dolphin. It makes its home in the Yangtze River. Over 20 million years ago, the Baiji River Dolphin left the sea, swam up the Yangtze River and has lived there ever since. It has smaller eyes than other kinds of dolphins because the Yangtze River has many small pieces of earth in it. The small size helps to protect its eyes. However, because it has such small eyes, it can’t use its eyes to find food. Instead, this kind of dolphin uses sound waves to find food. This makes it so unusual.
About 2,200 years ago, there were thousands of dolphins in the Yangtze River, but today, not many people see the dolphins. The number has gone down about 150. Scientists say that the number of dolphin has gone down because the population of people along the Yangtze River has gone up. They also say that the new dam (大坝) on the river is also making the dolphin die because it doesn’t have enough food to eat.
Scientists have tried different things to save this “panda in the water”, but nothing has helped. What would you do to save this kind of dolphin if you had a chance?
64．The Baiji River Dolphin lives in the ________.
A．Yellow River B．Nile River C．Yangtze River D．Huaihe River

Once upon a time, a turtle lived in a pool with two ducks. The turtle enjoyed her lie here because she could talk with the ducks every day. And the turtle loved to talk.

（2021·辽宁大连·八年级期末）Several days ago, I was walking home from school and saw some writing on the fence (栅栏) of a house I was passing by. It said. “Happiness is a direction (终点).”I had been having a bad day and just reading this brightened my day a little. I also took out a pen and wrote one of my favorite quotes (格言) down.
When I came back to the fence, I saw another quote under mine in the handwriting (字迹) as the first one. I added another, and we kept at this pattern for quite a while. One day, I was writing another quote on the fence and the old man, one of my neighbors, who owned the fence, saw me. He came out and I was afraid he would be angry with me for writing on his fence because he was not known to be very friendly. Without saying a word, he read the quotes on the fence, said nothing to himself and then went back inside. I was a bit nervous for a while, afraid to go back to the fence, but when I did, I noticed not more quotes but two words in different handwriting had been added, “Thank you!”
Later, I saw the old man in his front yard. He called me over and told me how my quotes had encouraged him, how he thanked me and how he was glad to see young people still have “values”. We are now good friends and I talk to him a lot. This experience has changed my life. I still don’t know who wrote that very first quote, but if he is out there, I’d like to say “thanks” to that unknown friend.
