初中英语试题

Choose the best answer according to the passage you read.

With the winter vacation coming, I realized I needed to find a part-time job, because I didn’t want to ask my parents for money. I had imagined having a job at a winter camp where I could play games with children. In fact, the only job I could find was cleaning up tables at a local convenience store.

At first, I wanted to give up the job because getting up too early in the morning made me unhappy. I’ll never forget how tired I felt on my first day, but I’ll never forget sitting together and talking about our days with my workmates for the first time either. Suddenly, I felt good to be a member of them.

After working at the convenience store for almost one year, I was used to getting up so early, because I knew there would be a few good moments every day there.

Working at the convenience store, I’ve learned to grow into a boy that can depend on myself and get along well with others. And I’m not the shy person that I used to be. Meeting an impolite customer might make me feel bad, but very soon I could deal with it without difficulty. The job has given me so much, and I can’t wait to go back to the convenience store and continue to grow from my experience.

Choose the best answer according to the passage you read.

On a snowy day, there was a man walking in a hurry on the road. His clothes were in poor condition. You might think he was a beggar（乞丐）, but in fact he was a painter. His name was Vincent Willem van Gogh. With a painting he had just finished, the poor Vincent went into a painting store.

“Can you buy this painting to help me pay the rent（租金）?”

“I don’t really like your painting, but it is said that you are gifted（有天赋的） and I want to help you. Here is five francs（法郎）.”

Although it was only five francs, Vincent was very happy.

He took the money and said thanks, thinking that he could buy some food and pay the rent.

In China, many students spend much of their time on their studies, and don’t help with housework at home. As a result, they lack basic skills.

Luckily, things are changing. Last year, many schools began to teach students life skills.

Guangming Middle School in Sichuan set up some farming clubs. There students learnt to plant vegetables. “At first I thought I could only grow some vegetables here, but actually, I learnt a lot about vegetables.” said Chen Jia, a girl at the school.

In Hope Middle School, students have a special life skill class: they learn to make dumplings in different kinds of shapes. “I couldn’t make dumplings before, but now I am good at doing it. I really love my life skill class. It’s my favourite class.” said Zhang Yan, a boy at the school.

In fact, learning life skills is as important as learning Chinese and maths, because it helps us prepare for our future life. Boys and girls, do you help your parents do housework at home? If not, maybe you should get started now.
