Everyone, likes to feel that he or she is special. Unfortunately, many of us grow up believing that we’re not special at all. We wish that we could be better at sports or more attractive. We wish we had nicer clothes or more money. Like the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, or the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz (《绿野仙踪》), we believe we’re not good enough just as we are. In the movie, the Scarecrow wishes that he had a brain. The Tin Man wishes he had a heart, and the Lion wants courage. In the end, each of them realizes that he already has what he needs.

Most parents want us to be the best we can be. They sometimes try to encourage us to do better by comparing us to others. They mean well, but the message we often get is that we’re not good enough. We begin to believe that the only way we can be special is by being better than someone else, but we are often disappointed. There will always be someone out there who is better than we are at something. There are plenty of people around who may not be as smart as we are but who are better at sports. Or they may not be as good-looking, but they have more money. It is impossible for us to be better than everyone else all the time.

Like the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, we all want what we believe will make us better people. What we don’t realize is that often we already have inside us the very things that we seek. Parents sometimes forget to tell us that we are special, that we are good enough just as we are. Maybe no one told them that when they were growing up, or maybe they just forgot. Either way, it’s up to us to remind them from time to time that each of us, in our own way, is special. What we are ... is enough.

A high school history teacher once told us, "If you make one close friend in school, you will be the most lucky. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life." Experience teaches that he is right. 1.

To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to make it clear in our minds what kinds of friendship we want. You may ask yourself the following questions.2. Do we want to share ourselves or do we want to walk on surface?

For some people, many friendships on the surface are quite enough and that's all right.3. It's whether or not our expectations are the same as our friends' expectations. If so, the sharing of personal experiences including our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships.

4. The greatest is to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships take time. Another "main difficulty" is the selfishness(自我中心；任性)to think one "possesses(控制)" the other, including his time and attention. In fact, friendships require actions in return.5. Finally, there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend reasonable time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die away.

A.Good friendship is just not easily formed.

B.We should understand why we need friends.

C.Are they to be close or kept at arm's length?

D.What are some of the difficulties of friendship?

E.In other words, you must give as much as you take.

F.But at some point we need to make sure one thing.

As school kids, we have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. 1. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.

Once you have found a dream, what do you do with it? Have you ever tried to achieve your dream? Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that realizing our dreams is life's biggest challenge.

You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. 2. In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.

3. Keep telling yourself what you want, and you will realize your dream faster. Do this step by step. A dream cannot be realized in one day. A big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.

You must also never give up on your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to realizing it. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. 4. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

5. But it is OK as long as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.

A.Or they can be small.

B.Don't let it leave your heart.

C.These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says.

E.As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little.

Most of us don't like about food until we start feeling hungry, but eating important in life. To talk about food and eating is to talk about one of the most common subjects we know. Eating is just like breathing or sleeping, so every day, so ordinary, it does not receive much notice.

However, what, where, when, how, and with whom we eat say a great deal about who we are. Do you use chopsticks? Do you hold the knife backward? Do you chew with your mouth open? All these eating habits say something about you. They are messages even when we are not trying to say anything. Food and the ways we eat it, like clothes and the way we wear them, tell who and what we are.

We learn our eating habits very early in life. We usually have strong feeling about our childhood foods. Foods we learn to like our early years probably have a special meaning for us forever because they are connected to people and things we love. Mom's cheers or the way Dad cuts the bread crusts just right bringing up feelings of love and comfort.

People use food and eating to mark the seasons and the important moments in life （such as growing up and getting married）, or to honor gods, and to say something about themselves. People will eat different foods for different holidays. Sometimes people ever explain why they eat certain things on certain days. Americans do that sort of explaining at Thanksgiving. They eat Turkey, corn, and Indian pudding because their ancestors（祖先）ate them at the first Thanksgiving. Those foods mean something to Americans.

As you can see, food and eating mark people's shared experiences, but they can also mark the differences. In the sense, we truly are what we eat.

1.You can probably read the article from a magazine about _______________.

A.traveling B.food and culture

C.clothes and fashion D.sports

2.Why do people have strong feeling about childhood foods?

A.Because the foods may connect to the beloved people or things.

B.Because most of the people like eating cheese and bread.

C.Because the cheese made by Mom and Dad tastes delicious.

D.Because people learn the eating habits very early.

3.Which of the following shows the proper structure of this passage?

A. B. C. D.

4.What does the sentence "we truly are what we eat" mean according to the passage?

A.We need to eat healthy food to keep fit. B.The way we eat tells a lot about us.

C.We eat some special food on special days. D.It's the food that makes us different.

A 12-year-old girl from Virginia, US, never thought that a simple message she put online could bring her big problems. She posted the words, “Killing. Meet me in the library Tuesday”, with three emojis(表情符号) of a gun, a knife and a bomb(炸弹) on Instagram, a social media(社交媒体). She was told that she broke the law because of threatening(威胁) her school.

This problem is not far away from us. Not long ago, Ni Hanxiang, a Chinese student at a university in the US, was sent back to China after expressing on social media that he would kill his teachers if he failed to pass his exams.

In China, posting threatening words online is also against the law. In 2013, Wu Hongfei, a singer, got into trouble for saying on weibo that she wanted to blow up a building.

“Threatening happens not only face to face but also through the Internet, social media and the telephone,” said Mr. Cao, a lawyer from Chongqing. “Although the law of China protects people’s right of free speech, it doesn’t include words that threaten others’ lives and national safety.”

“Some people may not mean to threaten. They may just be trying to say “I’m strong”, said Fred Pratt, a lawyer from the US.

The girl’s mother said her daughter was a good kid who had never been in trouble before. Ni Hanxiang also said he didn’t realize that what he put online was so serious.

“But not knowing the law doesn’t mean the law will treat you any differently if you break it,” says David Allen Green, a lawyer from the UK. So, do you think we’d better spend a minute or two thinking about the words or emojis we use on social media before we press “send”?

1.The 12-year-old girl from Virginia put the words “Killing. Meet me in the library Tuesday”, with three emojis ________.

A.in her own diary B.in a letter to her friend

C.on a social media D.on the wall of the library

2.Ni Hanxiang was sent back to China ________.

A.because he broke the US law B.because he wasn’t honest

C.after he killed his teachers D.after he blew up a building

3.From this passage, we can infer(推断) that ________.

A.Fred Pratt thinks some people may not mean to threaten

B.the girl’s mother didn’t think her daughter was a bad child

C.Cheating in an examination at school may get you into trouble

D.Putting threatening words on QQ may bring you problems

4.This passage mainly wants to tell us that _______.

A.we shouldn’t break the US law if we study at a university in the US

B.students and singers shouldn’t post words or emojis on social media

C.students should study hard at school and not use the Internet too much

D.we should be careful when we send words or emojis on social media

九年级英语阅读单选困难题查看答案及解析

Most of us spend all day at school or work. After a long and busy day, all we want to do is to return to a comfortable home. Smart technology can turn any home into a nicer place to live in.

Smart homes have been around for some time. Scottish company Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10 in 1975. It allows household devices（设备）, such as lights and alarms, to communicate with each other by using radio waves, according to AVSytemsMag, a specialized magazine in the audiovisual and automation（视听及自动化）industry.

Of course, 5G network connectivity has made smart homes more convenient. Perhaps the most widespread smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant（语音激活助手）Google Home and Amazon's Alexa allow users to control nearly any device in their home simply by speaking a few words. This is especially convenient for people with physical disabilities, as they can finish tasks that would normally be too difficult, according to How-To Geek.

Common household appliances（家用电器）can become "smart" as well. For example, a smart trash bin can memorize all the things you've thrown away and offer you a shopping list online, while a smart fridge can create dinner recipes（菜谱）based on the vegetables that are being kept inside, according to HowStuffWorks.

But it's not just about convenience. Smart homes are also good for the environment. By regularly checking your energy use and automatically turning off lights and other devices that you're not using, smart homes can lower how much electricity you use overall. Using less energy means that we make less pollution, which is good for the environment.

Not everyone is excited about smart home. In fact, …

1.X10 allows household devices to communicate by _________.

A.using radio waves B.speaking a few words

C.connecting 5G network D.inventing lights and alarms

2.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A.Household devices designed for the disabled.

B.All types of smart household appliances.

C.Further development of smart home technology.

D.Difference between X10 and 5G network

3.How does smart home technology influence our life?

A.Smart trash bins help us find cheap but nice things online.

B.Smart fridges can create proper recipes and cook tasty food.

C.Smart homes will help us save energy and reduce pollution.

D.Smart homes make us stay at home instead of working out

4.The author may introduce the ________ of smart homes in the last paragraph.

A.use B.spread C.future D.disadvantages

Let’s say you are taking a walk along the road and you happen to see one or two waste bottes lying on the grass beside the road. What would you do?

You may have different choices. Firstly, you can leave the bottles there as they are. It was not you who threw them away. Why should you do something about it? This is quite OK. Secondly, you can pick them up and throw them into a dustbin (垃圾箱). By doing this, you have walked a step further to help make our home clean. This action is a better choice. Thirdly, you might want to pick them up and give them to an old man or woman who collects waste for a living. If this is your choice, you have walked even further. You’re not only thinking about doing something for the environment, you’re also developing yourself to be a person who would think of others and help them.

As for young kids, they may always have such a question: “When do I grow up?" Yes! When does a child grow up? And how can a kid know he or she has grown up? These are interesting questions. As for us, fifteen-year-olds, who are finishing middle school, we’re no longer younger children. We should know whether or not we have grown up. When we start to have a sense of offering a helping hand for a cleaner city and greener world, and when we have a loving heart to think more of others than of ourselves and are ready to help them, we can say that we have grown up.

Remember: If we help others, others will help us. If we do our best for nature, nature will offer its best to us in return!

1.How did the writer start the passage?

The writer did it by giving a(n) ________of daily life.

2.How many choices are there in the second paragraph?

4.What does the underlined word “home" refer to in the second paragraph?

It refers to the“________”we live in.

I had a dream once. My classmates and I were enjoying our day on the playground. Some of us were playing basketball and running, while others were simply talking and having fun. We were happy without any pressure of schoolwork.
