第9课时　八年级(上)　Units 7~8‎ 一、阅读理解 A ‎“I will think of it.” It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking?‎ Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in his garden when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He began to think and tried to find out why the apple fell. Then he discovered how the sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places. ‎ A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire, watching the lid of the kettle move up and down. He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking. And when he became a man, he improved the steam engine(蒸汽机)so much that it could easily do the work of many horses. ‎ James Ferguson was a poor boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he wondered. “Why should I not make a watch?” But how could he get the materials to make the mainspring(钟表的主发条)?He soon found he could make it with whalebone(鲸骨). He then made a wooden clock which kept good time. His motto(座右铭)was “I will think of it.” And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world. ‎ Boys and girls, when you have a difficult lesson to learn, don’t lose heart, and don’t ask someone for help before helping yourselves. Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose.‎ ‎1.From the passage, we know that some great things come from　　　. ‎ ‎　　　　　　 　　　　　　 　　　　　　 ‎ 9‎ A.listening B.reading C.speaking D.thinking ‎2.The idea of Isaac Newton’s discovery was from　　　. ‎ A.the falling of an apple ‎ B.the cleaning of a garden C.the falling of a tree ‎ D.the moving of a lid ‎3.The achievement of James Watt was that he　　　. ‎ A.kept thinking B.found the steam in the kettle C.improved the steam engine much D.watched the lid move up and down ‎ ‎4.The right order of the following sentences is　　　. ‎ ‎①James Ferguson made a wooden clock. ‎ ‎②James Ferguson saw the inside of a watch. ‎ ‎③James Ferguson made the mainspring with whalebone.‎ A.③②① B.②③① C.②①③ D.③①②‎ ‎5.What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A.Learn to ask for help.‎ B.A difficult lesson to learn.‎ C.It is easy to say “I will think of it.”‎ D.Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think to some purpose.‎ B The cold wind blew strongly outside. Amaya was warm in her house, thinking about an article she’d read at school. The article was about kids who helped out their communities, and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town, Harvard.‎ The only problem was that she wasn’t sure how to help. In the article, the kids had grown food for people who needed food, but it was winter. She couldn’t start a garden. Amaya was deep in thought when her mom said it was time to go shopping.‎ 9‎ As they drove along the road, Amaya saw a family walking on the sidewalk(人行道), wearing only light jackets. How cold they must be! That gave her an idea! She could collect winter coats, hats and gloves for people who needed them.‎ She shared her idea with her mom, who thought it was great. But how would they spread the idea to get plenty of winter clothing? Amaya decided to talk to her teacher, because then she could share her idea with her classmates at least.‎ Ms. Monroe agreed when Amaya talked about her idea. They decided to call the project Hats in Harvard. Then they wrote a letter explaining the project. Ms. Monroe even said she could help Amaya talk to the headmaster about it so they could get the whole school to join in it. They met with the headmaster during lunch time. He was excited about the idea, and said he would make sure copies(复印件) of the letter went home with all the students.‎ They collected enough winter clothing in only one week. Then they left the clothes around two parks, so families who needed clothes could get them there. Three days later, Amaya and her mom went shopping again. She saw the same family that had given her the idea for Hats in Harvard. This time, though, the family looked nice and warm in some new coats, hats and gloves. Amaya felt warm in her heart, and was very glad she could help others.‎ ‎6.Amaya wanted to 　　　 after she had read an article at school. ‎ ‎　　　　　　 　　　　　　 　　　　　　 ‎ A.grow food ‎ B.collect winter clothing C.help her own town ‎ D.go shopping with her mom ‎7.Whom did Amaya share her idea with first?‎ A.Her teacher.
