浙江省衢州市衢江区2023-2024学年九年级上学期11月期中英语试题
When you are too sick or tired to eat, would you enjoy a bowl of ramen? It wouldn't matter how good the ramen is any more-you wouldn't enjoy it anyway.
If the boss decides to give you another bowl of the world's best ramen and lets you invite someone to eat for free. But you do not have any loved ones to invite-not even a close friend. Your feelings of loneliness will make the ramen tasteless as well.
Ramen is like the expensive things that many of us think we want in life. Nice cars, expensive houses and beautiful clothes. They are nice to have, but we shouldn't forget that the most important things in life are our health and our loved ones. We must first take good care of our health and our loved ones before we worry about having nice things.
Being rich is not always about having more money; it can also come from the heart. Having a rich heart is about finding inner (内心的) peace. Once you have made it, you will be thankful for what you have and be less worried about what you don't have. Or all the riches in the world will not be able to fill your heart.
The next time you are enjoying a bowl of delicious ramen with a loved one or a close friend, think about how lucky you are. When life brings you difficult problems and challenges, remember that these same people are there for you to help you get past difficult times.
①A tree has roots(根). People have roots too. If you get to the root of a problem, you will solve it. It's the same thing with words.
②As readers, especially those reading in a second language, we need to deal with the text as if we were detectives(侦探)looking for information to discover the unknown. Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene, the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to
understand what it means.
③As you know, prefixes (前 缀) and suffixes(后缀) can be added to the beginning or end of words to change the meaning. Know them, and you will be able to build the word. But root words are the key. Take time to learn a few of these and remember them, and you will become good at guessing the meaning of words.
④Let's look at one common root word used in English. "Alter"from the Latin word means "other". When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with "other". Examine the word "alternate".Can you find the Latin root in it?
●If you and your friend like to eat out, first you pay and the other pays the next time. You are alternating paying. ●If you go to the movies on alternate Saturdays, you go on one Saturday, but not the other Saturday. ●If you have no alternative, you have no other choice. |
⑤Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying. Then use your "rooting for words"skills, Like any new skill, practice and hard work are always paid back.
