安徽省阜阳实验中学2024-2025学年八年级上学期英语开学考试题
Our family went to the Yellow Stone National Park last summer vacation. Our son, Tom, wanted to see bears there. And what an experience it was!
When we got there, we put up our tent and went to explore(探险). As we returned, we heard our daughter Susie cry out. And then we saw a bear go into our camp.
Tom wanted his father to chase(追赶)him away.
His father said, "No. It's dangerous to chase a bear. And don't let him chase you."
Susie said, "What shall we do? Maybe we should climb a tree."
Tom said, "No. We have to get him out of there. He might go to sleep in our tent."
"Maybe we could make him leave if we put some honey outside for him to eat." Susie suggested.
Then I said, "How are you going to get the honey? It's in the tent."
We watched the bear go into the tent and heard him upset(翻倒)everything inside.
"It's foolish for us to try to chase him away." said my husband, "Leave him alone and wait for him to come out."
We waited, but the bear stayed inside. We had to sleep in the car that night.
Susan and Annie are both from Holland. Here are their emails.
Dear Susan, Thanks for your last email! My knees have been OK since I left hospital last week. But I feel very lonely, especially in the day. You might think many kinds of games can help me while they are boring for me. What should I do? Yours, Annie

Dear Annie, ①Sorry to hear you're lonely! ②I think you need someone to talk with. When you have a walk in the neighbourhood, start a conversation with others in a friendly way. And I remember you like shopping. Do you talk with the cashier(收银员) while checking out? It's common to check out quickly, so people behind us inline won't wait too long. But do you know "chat checkout" programme? It is introduced by Jumbo, our large supermarket chain(连锁超市). In some of its stores, customers can talk with cashiers for as long as they want. There is also a chat corner in the supermarket. People can have a good time talking with each other over a nice cup of coffee. The world continues to move faster and faster. Many people sometimes find themselves feeling lonely. The programme is to play a role in helping people tocombat loneliness. This "chat checkout" service is so popular that Jumbo is planning to introduce it into more supermarkets. As you can see, more people in our country follow a different rule at some supermarkets: Chatting happily is more important than checking out quickly. ③Why not have a try to chat with cashiers when you go shopping next time? Love, Susan |
