重庆市第三十七中学校2016-2017学年八年级下学期英语第二次月考试卷
Joe,75,lived very happily and had a beautiful family.He had four grandchildren,and they all visited him in their holidays.
But while he was working,he lost his favorite watch.Before they came to visit,Joe was getting ready for his home for the kids:cleaning the house, buying their favorite foods and cooking delicious food...
The watch was a gift from his deceased(已故的)wife when their first child was born.Joe loved the watch very much.He was very unhappy.
When his grandchildren came,they promised him they would find the watch.
One granddaughter asked:“Grandpa,do you remember when you lost your watch?
Joe answered:“I guess when l cleaned the barn!”
The children looked for more than two hours but could not find it.
One grandson went to search(搜寻) the barn again,and Joe asked why he was going there.The little boy asked the others not to follow him and to keep silent(安静的).
He was there for about 15 minutes and then ran to his grandfather.He found the watch!
Joe was surprised and asked how he was able to find it.The little boy said:“I sat there without making a noise,and the barn was so silent.After a few minutes,I heard the ‘tick,tick' sound and found the watch.”
Joe hugged him and thanked the little boy.
This shows the power(力量)of silence.If we stay calm(冷静的),we are better able to find a solution(解决方法)!

This spring, we went to Xi'an, Shaanxi. The Xi'an {#blank#}1{#/blank#} history is long. We saw many wonderful {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of interest there. When we got off the tourist bus, our guide {#blank#}3{#/blank#} at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and began to introduce its history. I could {#blank#}4{#/blank#} believe that ancient people in China could build such a great wonder(奇观) all with their hands. I also climbed up and enjoyed the sights from the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of the pagoda. It took me a long time to get into the pagoda because there were lots of people {#blank#}6{#/blank#} in line. Then, I visited the Terracotta Army. I've always {#blank#}7{#/blank#} seeing it. It shocked(震惊) me a lot when I saw it in person. I think it's better for all of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to learn about the history from real things than from books. Finally, I went to see the Xi'an Bell Tower and Drum Tower. I also enjoyed a small concert of traditional {#blank#}9{#/blank#} instruments(乐器) that I hadn't seen before.
All my family is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} for going to Xi'an again. I believe everyone wants to know more about one of the capitals of ancient China.
