吉林省通化市七中2015-2016学年八年级上学期英语期末考试试卷
Do you keep a diary（日记） every day? Do you think it is great to remember just what you did on a day many years ago? One way to remember each day is to write about it in a diary. Many people write their diaries every day. They write about what they did, what they ate, whom they saw and met, how they did something and how they felt during that day.
Most people do not want anyone else to read their diaries. They keep them in a safe （安全的）place. Some Chinese students try to keep diaries in English not only to help themselves to remember something, but also to practice English.
Long ago, many people wrote diaries, too. People have found some of those old diaries. Some diaries are useful because we can learn about the life long ago, or we can get to know something important or something interesting.
There are many famous diaries in the world. Most people in China have read the Diaries of Lei Feng. Lei Feng was a soldier（战士）.In his short life, he did a lot of good things for others and for his country. He was always ready to give, but never asked for anything from people. He kept diaries and from them, people learn what a great man he was. In China's schools, students learn some of his diaries as texts（课文）.
根据短文内容回答问题：
Typing(打字) is one of the most important and basic work skills of the 21st century. Because mobile phones are now so popular, there is a new kind of typing-thumbing. Thumbing means people use one or more thumbs(拇指) to touch the keys.
Most people can type between 20 and 35 words a minute. Some typists, however, can work very quickly, at more than 110 words a minute. And people's left hand usually does 56 percent of the typing.
The most common international English keyboard is QWERTY. People name it after the first letters on the top left side of the keyboard. It is more than 140 years old. Other keyboards include QWERTZ (in Central Europe) and AZERTY (used by most French speakers in Europe). Countries with non-Roman alphabets(字母系统), such as, Arabia, Russia or Japan, have their own keyboards.
People practise the sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" to make their typing better. That's because it uses every letter of the English alphabet.
Thumbing and typing can hurt you. RSI (repetitive strain injury) is the name of a medical condition you get if you type too much. However, most people do not understand what RSI is or how serious it can be. Anyone who uses a computer a lot is at risk and should know about RSI.
