牛津译林英语八年级上册 Unit 2 School life单元测试(二)
A 50-year-old American officer came back to his school. The teacher asked him to give a talk to the small boys and girls there. The talk was about the love of their great country. All the little ones were sitting in a large meeting room. The old officer went up and began speaking. He said, “Boys and girls, I studied in this school forty years ago. When I was your age, we were not as happy as you are today. Think about it and answer me. Why are you so happy now?”
No sound came from the children. The old man waited for a long time. Then a short boy in front put up his small dirty hand. “Good boy! Please answer me, dear.” said the officer.
With a big smile on his face, the boy stood up and said, “If you speak long enough, we won't have Maths and Biology lessons this morning.”
Travelling is one of the most important activities and people have been interested in it for many years. Modern traffic develops fast, so travelling to different places has become much faster than before. Staying healthy while travelling can make your trip happier. But do you know how to keep healthy during a trip? The following information may be useful to you.
Before leaving
●Wear comfortable shoes, a hat and sunglasses.
●Take some necessary medicine with you. They can be used when you get sick or have other problems.
●Do some exercise for weeks or months before you leave if you plan to do lots of walking or climbing during your trip.
● Prepare proper food. Before you prepare the food, the first thing you need to think about is how long you will travel with the food. If you take a long trip, you should bring food such as bread, biscuits and some fruit. They don't go bad quickly. The nearer people can bring meat, fish, eggs, milk and even salads and vegetables.
While travelling
●Be sure not to eat dirty food or bad fruit.
●Have enough time to take a rest during your trip.
●Tap water is not safe, so drink bottled water and always clean the cover of the bottle.
●Keep food in good condition. If you take hot food, you should try to keep it hot. For example, you can put it in heavy towels. If you need to keep cold food cold, you can put cold food in a box with ice. When you arrive, put cold food in the fridge. Remember: If you travel with food, keep hot food hot and cold food cold.

A group of high school students from the United States has planted hope by cleaning up an empty lot(一块地) in their neighborhood.
The students are from Buchtel High School in Akron, Ohio. The empty lot, which is owned by a 1ocal bank, was filled with grass and poison ivy(毒葛). As a project for the school's biohealth(生物健康) class, eight students decided to turn the empty lot into a space that will improve the mental(心里的) and emotional(情感的) health of people who live near it.
They first came up with a design, did research and created 3D models of their plans. Ideas were then presented and the school leaders picked the winning plans. Finally, the students brought those plans to life.
Now when you walk into the lot, you can see a wood walkway leading to a purple iron bench. A few beautiful plants are already in the ground. There is also a hopscotch(跳房子游戏) board that is painted bright blue. A wall painting with the words "Love" and "Peace" has taken shape on a back fence, decorated with the students' handprints. The rest of the fence was painted grey to cover plain wood.
The students said they painted the bench purple because they found that purple has a comforting feeling for people. They thought kids could go there and sit together, communicate with each other in peace and stay out of trouble.
As for the hopscotch board, it was set up for a group of eight to ten school-age kids who lived in the neighborhood but had nowhere to play.
It gives the neighborhood a little hope and a little beauty, "said Lyle Jenkins, a member of the Neighborhood Network." A lot of people love the neighborhood and have great hopes for things getting better.
