浙江新目标(Go for it)版2018-2019学年初中英语九年级全测试卷(十四)(Units 7-8)(含小段音频)
Do you think there is a ghost in the world? More than 20 years ago, a student jumped from the top of the clock tower in the University of Birmingham. He did this only because he failed his final exam.
After his death, a superstition(迷信) began: Anyone who walks under the clock tower will have bad luck in his exam. Years later, students there still remembered the story of the tower. Although Birmingham is the second largest city in Britain, the university is green and quiet. The grass around the tower has been worn away by the feet of students who refuse to pass underneath the tower.
The university had to pave(铺) extra paths, so students could walk to their classrooms without passing under the most terrible area. But, one day just before an important exam, a top student in the university walked under the clock tower because he was lost in thought. However, he got high marks in the exam the next day. Quickly students all knew about it. Then they realized that the most important thing is working hard.
Whenever I go under the clock tower, I will tell myself, "Working hard is the key to success."
A" dark moment" means the most difficult time in your life. Do you know any dark moments before? How do you get through it? | |
Liu Yifei 14 Shanxi | When I got to Middle School, I was sad to find out that all of my classmates had studied everything before the class started. During class, everyone knew the answers to our teacher's questions, but I did not. I came last in the first test. So I looked for ways of learning online. For example, for history, drawing the timeline on paper helped me a lot. My grades then got a lot better. I'm very happy for myself. |
Lai Yijiang 14 Sichuan | When I was in sixth grade, I moved to a new city. At that time, I felt bad every day. My classmates all knew each other and had their small groups. I had no friends and lost interest in everything. My grades also became the worst in the class. Those were my darkest days. Later, I made a friend. He made me open up, and I started to talk to more people. Also, I came to get used to the weather in the city. Step by step,I felt better and better. |
