北师大版初中英语八年级上册Unit 2 Lesson 4同步练习
In some Western countries, many children do chores to get pocket money (零花钱).
School students have to do homework and study for tests. They often do chores on weekends.
So they don't get much money. But that's enough. Many of them only want to buy candy(糖果). And candy is cheap! They often help do the dishes, sweep the floor, or feed the pet cat or dog.
When they get older, they want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. They often help their parents wash the family car, cut the grass, or cook meals.
Some jobs are a good way for kids to learn new things. Of course, their parents help them at first.
A. So they have to work harder!
B. They usually start to do this when they are ten years old.
C. They don't have much free time on weekdays.
D. For example, they can learn how to use a lawnmower (割草机) or how to cook.
E. Young Kids don't need to do chores.
F. Young kids only do easy chores.
A. Each part has a different meaning. B. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. C. That's because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. D. Also, mobile phone numbers can be recycled. E. The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. |
Have you ever counted the number of digits(数字) in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Why is that?
The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider you are using. For example, 135 is for the China Mobile Communication Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you which area the number is recorded in. And the last four digits are random (随机的).
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999.
Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers, according to the Xinhua News Agency. That's enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven't contacted (联络) for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.
Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with l0 digits. Canada's mobile phone numbers are perhaps the world's shortest: they use seven digits.
In a school, some students didn't follow the school rules. They always caused trouble.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}They never meant to forgive (原谅) each other.
One day a new teacher came to this school.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}He told each of his students to bring a bag of potatoes to school. For every person they didn't want to forgive, they chose a potato, wrote the person's name on it, and put it in the bag.
Some of their bags were very heavy.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}They would put them beside their beds at night, on the seats when they sit in a car or on a bus, and next to their desks at school. They had to take care of them all the time so that they didn't forget them.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Days of carrying the bags along with them made students get to know what a weight (重量) they were carrying in their minds. After that, the students learned to forgive.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
Too often we think of forgiveness as a gift to other people, and it clearly is for ourselves!
A. Some of them even fought with each other. B. He didn't know what to do with the students. C. When he heard that, he came up with a good idea. D. They got on well with each other and didn't fight anymore. E. As time passed by, the potatoes went bad and made people feel sick. F. The teacher then asked them to carry their bags with them everywhere for one week. |
