I used to be an easily angry boy. But since I watched a TV report, I have changed a lot.
That evening, after doing my homework, I sat down to watch a report on TV. It said that two young boys were once good friends, but one day they fought each other just because of a joke between them. At that time both of them were too angry with each other, so one killed the other finally. The result for the two was so terrible. One was dead, far away from his family and his friends forever. The other was put into prison (监狱). All this happened just because of anger (愤怒).
Anger is a bad thing, which may cause some terrible things to happen, either to ourselves or to others around us. Being angry easily is not a good habit for a clever man.
As an article says, “We cannot change the way other people act, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.” Maybe smiling at others is the easiest way. If others’ ideas are really not good, keep an open mind. Having a friend is much better than having an enemy (敌人) after all!What kind of boy did the writer use to be?

Stop and listen! What do you hear? You may hear many different sounds. Some of those sounds may be noise. Noise is a loud or unwanted sound.
Noise can be caused by many kinds of machines, such as motorcycles, jet planes (喷气式飞机), farm tractors, and power motors. And, to some people, rock music is also a noise.
What happens to people who live near noisy machines or use them over a period of time? Doctors have found that these people have trouble in sleeping. And most importantly, constant (连续的) loud noise can cause loss of hearing.
Scientists use a unit of measure called a decibel(分贝) to measure the loudness of a sound. The sound of a quiet room, for example, measures 35 decibels. Talking measures between 40 and 65 decibels. Sounds from traffic and from some rock bands measure over 120 decibels. Noise at such high level causes the greatest hearing loss.
根据短文内容，判断正(T)误(F)。According to the passage, noise is all sounds that you can hear.
A “decibel” is a machine that makes loud noise.
Loud noise can help people sleep better.
Not all people think that rock music is a noise.
We can infer (推断) from the passage that noise is a serious problem.
Helen Keller was a very bright and beautiful girl. When she was six months, she could already say a few words. But before she was two years old, she was hit by serious illness. She could not see or hear, and soon she could not talk. At the age of six, her parents invited a teacher for her. With the help of the teacher, she began to see and hear the world around her through her hands. She learned to read books for the blind people. The teacher took Helen for long walks, and told her about all the beautiful sights (风景). Helen touched flowers, climbed trees and smelt a storm before it came.She also learned to swim and ride a horse. After she grew up, she became a famous writer in America.

Studying in groups is becoming more and more popular in class. It has many advantages. For example, we can not only save time but also encourage each other when we study in groups. I still remember when I was in Grade 8, my physics was very poor, I had a really hard time with it. Once in class, the teachers asked us to discuss it with each other, but I was very shy, I could not do it like what they told me. My physics teacher encouraged me to face others and talk with someone else bravely, then I studied with some classmates together. When I did not understand any questions, they could give me some advice, I could quickly find out the ways to deal with the problems.
After that, I felt very relaxed and asked my classmates a lot of questions about physics. I did not feel stressed out at all. At last, I finished my homework by myself for the first time. How excited I was!
Because of studying in groups, I am not worried about physics any more. With my classmates’ help, I get more confidence. It also gives me more chances to improve myself in many ways. So let’s study more in groups.

A lot of people are crazy doing shopping through the Internet now. Why is it so popular? There are some reasons. First, more and more people have their own computers and their computers can be joined with the Internet. So it is possible for many of them to do shopping through the Internet. Second, shopping through the Internet can save them some money and a lot of time. Third, they don’t need to go to the shop themselves. Because of these good facts, few people refuse it.
On the other hand, some people don’t like this new way of shopping. They are worried about the safety of shopping on line. Customers(顾客) can only see the pictures of products on the Internet. And they can’t enjoy the pleasure of buying things in large supermarkets or some wonderful stores. These are the reasons why they do not like it.
But I think more and more people will like this new kind of shopping in the future.
