黑龙江省密山市2018-2019学年八年级下学期（五四学制）英语期末考试试卷
It was too late at night when an old man came to a small town. He found a small hotel and wanted to stay there for the night. After he went into his room, the owner said to his wife, "Look at his bag, there must be much money in it. Let's take it away when he is asleep, shall we?"
"No, no." said the woman, "He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. If he can't find it, he'll telephone the police. "They thought for a few minutes. Then the woman had an idea, "We have forgetful grass. Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he will forget to take his bag away. "The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door open, and the man had left with the bag. He was angry and woke his wife up, "What a fool! Your forgetful grass isn't useful at all."
"No, I don't think so. He must forget something." She said. "Oh! I remember now!" cried out the man suddenly, "He forgot to pay for the night."
From the story we know the owner of the hotel wanted to the old man's bag when he slept. But his wife with him, and she up with a good idea that they put some forgetful grass into the food that the old man would forget his bag. The forgetful grass worked. The old man really forgot something—he didn't to pay for the night.

I'm forty now. I left school twenty-two years ago. Here's my list of five things I hope to share with you teenagers at school.
{#blank#}1{#/blank#}
I always wanted to be the best, and one way of feeling good about myself was to see how much better I was than others. There was only one problem with this. When I saw they were better than me, I felt terrible. Now I compare me with myself. I ask myself if I do things as well as I could.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
How much time do you spend worrying about the future? I used to worry a lot. Now I know most things you fear will usually never happen. They're just monsters in your own mind. Even if they happen, they will often not be as bad as you expected. In six months, you probably won't remember most of the things you worry about now.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
When I was young, I often failed to start things I expected to do because I thought they'd taken too long to finish. I always wanted to write a book, for example. But when I thought it might take me more than a year, I lost my enthusiasm(热情). It seemed such a long time. Now I know a year is nothing, if I'd started that book when I was 16, I might have written 10 more by now. I'm upset with myself for not even trying.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
As a young child you try many new things. If you fail, you try again and again until you learn. But at school you are usually encouraged to do things right. Then you stop trying new things in case you get them wrong. You are losing chances to challenge yourselves. I always remind myself: I had fallen off the bike many times before I learned to ride it.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
I hated losing when I was younger. Of course, it's nice to win sometimes and to be the best at something. But we can't all be winners all the time. Learning to lose is one of life's most important lessons. If you try your hardest, then you should never be angry with yourself.
