广西河池市凤山县2024-2025学年九年级上学期期中英语试题
Vacation is coming to an end. How many of you have burn the midnight oil to finish your homework over the last few days? What about during the school year- when you get home from school, do you start working on your homework right away?
It can be hard to be this responsible. A lot of people usually put off difficult or annoying tasks until they have to be done. They' re called procrastinators.
Procrastination is a common problem for many people. In fact, sometimes it just feels easier to wait until the last minute to do certain things. However, this is not a good thing, as you have to work hard er and faster if you wait until there is little time left. This means your work will probably be of less quality (质量).
I myself am a bit of a procrastinator. But most of the time, I try to finish my work earlier rather than later. It just makes more sense - if I finish my work now, I'll have more time to relax or work on other projects later. It can be hard to motivate (激励) myself to get started sometimes. But once I do, the work gets done quickly and with little stress.
Everyone procrastinates from time to time. It's a natural thing to do. You don't have to beat yourself up over it - after all, we still need time to relax and take a break from our busy lives. Just make sure you still get your homework done on time!

Many schools put Dr. Yang's findings into practice. They made it a rule that students should do outdoor exercise once or {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a day. In some schools, students even formed outdoor running clubs. After some time, most students said they benefited(受益)a lot from outdoor exercise.

Some students are now thinking about inviting their teachers to join them in their daily runs.
April 22, 2024 marks the 55th World Earth Day This year's theme is "Planet vs. Plastics". There are about one million waste plastic bottles produced by us every minute, and people use more than 570 million plastic bags each hour. Plastic products make our life convenient. However, plastic rubbish has been found in deepest seas by scientists recently. Plastic pollution is damaging( 损 害 )our planet. So it's high time to pay attention to the problem of plastic pollution.
◆What can we do in our daily life to help solve the problem of plastic pollution?
I always bring my cloth shopping bag with me when I go shopping. I never use plastic shopping bags | I don't eat takeaway food because that often requires plastic boxes, spoons and forks They can be used only once. |
When I go out, I always take my drinking bottle with me. I seldom buy drinks in plastic bottles | In my home, I seldom throw away plastic boxes, bags or bottles. I try to use them in other ways. For example, I store(存放) ice in big plastic bottles. |
◆What can we do for plastic recycling?
There are several steps for you to follow before you put plastic waste in recyclable waste bins. For example, when you have an empty plastic bottle, you can first take off its cap. The bottle and the cap can be two different kinds of plastic so you'd better take them apart(分开) .
Then, make the bottle clean with water, especially the inside because there are always drinks or other things left. Lastly, crush(压扁) the bottle so that it can be easy to take and transport.
Rubbish Classification(分类) People need to divide rubbish into different groups before putting it in different rubbish bins. For example, plastic bottles belong to recyclable waste. They can be recycled to produce other products instead of being left on land. |
Three steps in recycling a plastic bottle
Every small action counts when it comes to protecting our environment. Taking responsibility for reducing( 减 少 )plastic pollution not only helps the Earth but also sets a positive example for others to follow. Let's work together to keep our planet clean and healthy for ourselves and future generations.
