We all, at one time or another , were like a ...

We all, at one time or another , were like a rock star, singing and dancing along to our favourite song. Most of us have done this in our own room when we were kids or even when we grew up. Me? I love to do that when I drive! I turn on the radio, find a song that I can sing along, and soon my arms are in the air. I am moving along to the music. Most of the time, I do this on my way to work.

Yes, that is true. I will be in my nice work clothes in my car. Someone may look at me strangely or even laugh at me when I stopped at a traffic light. Personally I love to get lost in the music. That can lead me to share with you the importance of being silly!

The meaning of the word silly, according to the dictionary is : stupid, foolish and nonsensical. I know many people do not want to look foolish. So they are always serious in their life, but in fact that is really stupid.

No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect. I don’t care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal(朴素的), how rich, and so on … No one is perfect! So why pretend(假装) to be something you are not?　　

Life is so short…_________, so why waste a single second on being so “perfect”?

When we were kids, we had no idea of fear and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others. However, as we grew up, we lost that kind of feeling.

So don’t be afraid to be silly. The next time you feel down, go and turn on your favourite song , sing and dance along just like there is no tomorrow. Or watch something that makes you laugh. Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better, and who doesn’t want to feel good.

1.While driving to work, the writer often _______.

A. sings and moves along to the music

B. laughs at others at the traffic lights

C. pretends to be serious

D. watches his favourite movies

2.What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph Two?

Sometimes a day that seems bad turns out better than you thought it would. There are ways of understanding the weather. One way is to study the clouds. No two clouds are ever alike. We can see the different kinds of clouds and watch them for signs of changing weather. To forecast the weather, there are three things about clouds. you should look for: movement, colour, and change.

These are clouds we often see on warm summer days. Clouds can tell you if a storm is on the way. If the thick, fluffy cumulus clouds get bigger early in the day, then you know it will rain. If there is a sudden, cool and dark thunder* cloud appears, then a storm is about to break out. Colours in the sky tell us about the weather, too. A golden ring around the moon warns us that a storm is on the way. A watery yellow sunset is a sign that rain may be near. The rainbow* has a message, too. The colours of the rainbow come from the sun rays shining through falling rain. If you see the sun in the east and a rainbow in the west, the rain may be coming your way.

Everyone feels tired at one time or another. The office worker feels tired after a hard day at work. The sportsman feels tired after hours of physical training.

1. The explanation is that when you exercise a muscle in your body over and over again, something known as fatigue toxins (疲劳毒素) is produced. The blood system then carries these toxins throughout the body. In the end, not only does that muscle feel tired but the whole body feels tired as well.

2. Sleeping is one of the best ways to fully recharge (使恢复精力) your tired body. Most importantly, the damage caused by tired muscles is slowly being repaired when we sleep.

3.　 Another way to get over fatigue is by doing some activities that you enjoy. For example, after a hard day’s work, the office worker may want to go for a relaxing walk. After a long tiring day at school, the student prefers jogging to resting at home.

4. When your body is tired, one way of curing tiredness is by improving the body’s blood circulation.

5. When we take part in an activity, our blood circulation is improved.

任务型阅读： 先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容和表格，在空格内填入一个适当的单词，使意思完整.（共5分）

We’ve all been hurt by another person at one time or another. This pain causes problems. It not only causes us to be unhappy， but can break relationships， distract (使分心) us from work and family and other important things， make us unwilling to open up new things.

We need to learn to let go. We need to be able to forgive (原谅)， so we can move on and be happy. Forgiveness does not mean you erase（抹去） the past， or forget what has happened. All it means is that you try to forget the anger and pain， and move on to a better place.

It’s not easy， but if you can take the tips below， you will learn to do it.

Think of the advantages of forgiveness—— how it will make you happier， free you from the past and the pain， and make your relationships and life better.

Try to understand that person. Try to understand why the person did what he did. What could he have felt as he did it， and what did he feel later? How does he feel now? You aren’t saying what he did is right， but are trying to understand instead.

Try to think over how you could have been partly responsible (负责任的) for what happened. It doesn’t mean taking responsibility away from the other person， but realizing that we are not victims but participants (参与者) in life.

Title：　 How to let go and forgive

九年级英语填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

At times we all get angry when we are driving. It might be because we are stuck in a traffic jam or behind a very slow driver. It might be because we think another driver has done something very stupid and dangerous. Whatever the reason is, it seems that getting angry in a car is something that happens more and more often and there　 is now a special term for it—road rage. Some experts even think it is a kind of mental illness! How can we recognize (识别) this “illness” of road rage?

There are two kinds of road rage: aggressive (侵略的) driving and aggressive reactions（反应） to the way other people are driving. Aggressive driving can take different forms:

●Driving much faster than the speed limit.

●Increasing your speed very quickly.

●Changing driving ways very suddenly and blocking another car.

●Moving into a parking space where another car is trying to park.

There are also different reactions to the way other people are driving. These include:

●Making rude signs at others.

●Shouting at others and threatening them.

●Driving into another person’s car on purpose.

●Hitting somebody.

Road rage is certainly not a joke. There have been incidents (严重事件) because of road rage which have led to serious injuries (重伤) and even deaths.

Experts think that one reason for road rage is that films show a lot of examples of fast and aggressive driving such as car chases. Experts also think that the punishments for dangerous driving are not serious enough. In the UK in the last 30 years, the police have been quite successful in reducing the number of people who drink and drive. They are now working to stop people using mobile phones when they are driving. Let’s hope they can have the same success with the road rage.

1.What does the underlined word “It” refer to?

A.Being stuck in a traffic jam. B.Being stuck behind a very slow driver.

C.Getting angry with traffic lights. D.Getting angry when driving.

2.What’s “road rage” according to the passage?

A.A form of getting angry. B.A person who drives fast.

C.A kind of traffic jam. D.An action of driving slowly.

3.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A.Aggressive driving is much worse than aggressive reactions.

B.Road rage can be controlled without any punishments for the drivers.

C.The accidents caused by using mobile phones have been reduced successfully.

D.The police will be able to do a lot to deal with road rage in the future.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.How to Deal with Road Rage. B.Road Rage.

C.Aggressive Driving. D.Changing Your Driving Habits.
