江苏省苏州市姑苏区2020年九年级中考英语一模试卷
The novel coronavirus kept us home for months, and it's not gone yet. It will end, of course. But it has taught us to take a second look at our habits and to live better. Here are some tips for staying healthy.
Keep a strong body
We all know that a strong body is the key to fight the virus. How can we keep one? Do more exercise and eat a balanced diet. Drink more water and go to bed before 11 p. m.
Develop different hobbies
Some people might find that staying home is boring. Developing different hobbies can help you have fun. You can learn painting or calligraphy (书法), chess or swimming. Hobbies can help you stay positive even in hard times.
Learn more about science
You might have read stories that say garlic (蒜) can kill the novel coronavirus. This has been proved to be not true. Learning more about science can help us tell facts apart from rumors (谣言). It will help us develop our critical thinking skills and stay calm when facing the unknown.
To love and to be loved
Many people lost family members during the novel coronavirus outbreak. We should care about the people around us. Take a step back when you argue(争吵) with someone. Make a small gift or cook a meal for your family on special days.

| A | B | C |
| My problem is my parents. They never stop going on about how I should keep my room tidy, keep my hair tidy and wear smart clothes. They even make me do the washing-up after dinner every night! None of my friends have got such terrible parents. What should I do? Helen | My best friend has suddenly turned her back on me and I don't know why! Last week we phoned each other every day and e-mailed too, and over the weekend we went shopping together and she was fine. But at school on Monday morning she didn't look at me or speak to me. I don't know what I've done. She now spends all her time with another group of friends. Jane | I have a really bad habit of chewing（嚼）the ends of my hair. I try to stop, but I can't! My mom is starting to get really angry about it. Have you got any ideas? Gina |
| Advice | ||
| Hi _________, Why should your parents do all the washing-up? You should help around the house—it's only fair. I don't think you should change your looks though. Young people should look like young people. | ②Hi_________, Wearing your hair pulled back in a ponytail（马尾辫）will help keep it out of your mouth. When you feel like chewing something, try bubble gum（泡泡糖）. Give yourself time and you should be able to break this habit. The first few days are usually the hardest. Good luck! | ③Hi ________， Don't worry about it so much! Phone your friend up as usual and she won't be able to refuse you. I am sure you will get along well with each other. Everything will be fine. |
