重庆九龙坡区名校联考2019-2020学年八年级下学期英语期末素质测查卷(含听力音频)
There is an old saying that all of us are born with two bags hung on our necks. The small bag in the front is filled with other people's faults (缺点), while the big one at the back is full of our own faults.
This makes it easy to find other people's faults, but hard to see our own faults behind us.
A boy named Tommy had four friends: Simon, Jack, Johnny and Harry. He saw other people's faults very quickly. When Simon was impatient (不耐烦的) with him, he said to Simon: "It's so easy for you to get angry. It is hard to be friends with you."
Later that day, Tommy told his mother about Jack's dishonesty (不诚实). "Jack often takes my things without asking." Tommy himself did not like sharing his things with anyone.
When Johnny was too tired to play with him, he said: "You are such a rude(粗鲁的) person." He thought Harry was proud(骄傲) of his rich parents. At last, he had few good friends.
If only Tommy would turn the bags around, he would find his own impatience, dishonesty, bad manners and vanity (虚荣). They were no better than that of Simon, Jack, Johnny or Harry.

Experiencing China
Mike, Canada I spent three months with my host family (接待家庭) in China. It was a lifetime experience. I was able to experience Chinese living and culture, from basic Tai Chi to Beijing Opera. I even visited a famous traditional Chinese medicine hospital. Now I have a better understanding of Chinese culture. |
Joanna, Australia I stayed with my host family for five months. My host mother is a Chinese teacher and she is really warm-hearted. With her help, my Chinese has improved a lot. And I have got used to a new culture. My favorite part of the experience was sharing my feelings in China with her. |
Bill, America My host mother is a wonderful cook! She makes me all kinds of traditional Chinese dishes. They are tasty and I like them very much. Just like me, my host parents love to learn about different cultures. They often ask me questions about life in America. |
Cindy, Germany Recently I took part in a program to study Chinese. I lived with a host family in China for six months. My host sister is a really hardworking student. It was amazing to see how she made progress in English. And a close relationship has developed between us. |
