When I was in primary school, I got into a big argument (争吵) with a boy in my class. I forgot what the argument was about, but I will never forget the lesson I learned that day.
I thought that I was right and he was wrong – and he thought that I was wrong and he was right. The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson.
In the middle of her desk was a large, round ball. I could clearly see that it was black. She asked the boy what color the ball was. “White,” he answered.She brought us to the front of the class and asked him to stand on one side of her desk and me on the other.
I couldn’t believe he said the ball was white, when it was obviously (明显地) black! Another argument started between us, this time about the color of the ball.
The teacher told us to change places and then asked me what color the ball was. I answered: “White.”
It was a ball with two differently colored sides, and from his side it was white. Only from my side it was black.
Sometimes we need to look at problems from the other person’s view in order to truly understand his or her perspective (观点).

八年级英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析
When my daughter was in primary school, she brought home four small twigs(嫩枝)one day. Her school gave these twigs to the students to plant. None of them looked very hardy, but with hope for the future, I planted them in our backyard. Over the years, because of an accident with the lawnmower(割草机)and poor soil, three of them died. Only one survived. It grew crooked(弯弯曲曲的)and very slowly. It never got very tall. In the end, it looked more like a fat bush than a tree. A few years ago, I noticed that it was starting to die. The lower branches were becoming bare(秃的).Only the top third of the tree was still green. Last summer I did my best to save it by feeding it a lot of fertilizer(肥料), but it didn’t work.
Later one morning, I went out and looked at it again. I was wondering whether it would be better to just cut it down. It would make mowing the lawn easier. As I walked over to take a closer look at it, however, I noticed something moving within the leaves. It was a robin(知更鸟)patiently building a nest in the topmost branches. I smiled when I looked at it. I thought maybe this old tree was still useful. It might not be healthy or pretty, but it was still giving a bird a home. This tree made me know that all of our lives have purpose. It doesn’t matter if we are young and strong of old and sickly. Until our last breath, we have things to do, love to give, and joy to share.

My First Day of School
I was afraid when I was walking into my first school in America. I has traveled a long way from India in order to join my parents. They hoped America would help my future.
On the first day, with fear, I reached for the door. Opening it slowly. Everyone’s eyes were on me as I entered the room. Without paying attention to them. I went to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered, “Yes.” His voice made me feel better Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I chose the seat closest to the door in India we had assigned(指定) seats. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the PPT. In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.
Since it was my first day, I had no idea about which hallway to use, but I managed to get to my classes without asking anyone. I wasn’t quite sure when I would have lunch. When the lunch bell rang, I headed for the cafeteria. I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. At the end of the day, I got on my bus and sat down inside happily, I was thinking, today wasn’t so bad.
As time passed that year, I developed some friendships and started to love my school. The teachers had a fun way of making hard things so easy that a three-year-old could do them. In India the teachers had a more strict way of saying things. We also had much longer school days in India-7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.-while in America school was 7:30 to 2:30. The main difference I found in America is that 1 learned a lot each day. Because of these I feel I am the luckiest person in the whole world.
