We dislike too hot days. Luckily, we have air conditioners and fridges. How did Chinese
people stay cool in the hot season before they have air conditioners and {ridges?
The most common way Chinese people in the past kept cool was to use falls. Many fans had poems or
drawings on them.
Irt the Sui dynasty(朝代), Chinese people started to use porcelain pillows(瓷枕). These pillows felt cool, so
people could sleep well on them.
People in old times didn't have fridges to make ice. Instead, they collected ice in winter and kept it
underground, sometimes in wells(X). When summer came, they got the ice out and put it in their living rooms to
cool them down.
Rich people and members of the king family had more expensive ways to keep cool. As early as the Hah
dynasty, some people used a tool(工具) like modern electrical fans. It was made of a wheel(轮子) and some {an
blades(叶片). A person would pull a rope to make the wheel spin(m) and then the blades would spin around fast.
In the Tang dynasty, people found a way to make their whole house cool. They built their houses next to
the water, used some machines to carry water to the top of the house, and made it flow down from the
eaves(屋檐). This man-made waterfall brought cool air into the house.
How people kept coot in the past
Fans: It was very common for people to use fans with 2 or drawings on them.
Porcelain pillows: In the Sui dynasty, 3 people began to sleep on porcelain
pillows 4 these pillows were cool.
Ice: In winter, ice was collected and stored, and then in 5 , people got the ice
out and put it in houses to make the
temperature 6

Gardening is popular in many parts of the world. It brings us sweet smelling flowers, fresh fruit and
vegetables. But you can get more from your garden.
Gardening helps to keep healthy. Today's people sit indoors for too long and don't get much exercise.
When you garden,you have to move around. It's a good chance for you to exercise your body by watering
flowers or doing some digging.Besides, when you are in your garden, you can feel the warm sunshine. This
means you are getting vitamin D. It helps your
body use calcium(钙), which is necessary to keep your bones(骨骼) strong.
Gardening is a great activity to do with children. It gets them off computers, televisions and phones.
Gardening can be a great teacher to teach children about nature and healthy eating. It can also help them to
understand the meaning of "No pain,no gain".
Gardening is a great way to meet people and build relationships. When you are gardening, you are
outdoors. So it is a perfect time to communicate with your neighbours. Most people love to talk about their
hobbies, and so do gardeners. They usually enjoy showing people what they are growing. And most enjoy
sharing advice and stories about their gardens.

car for the rest of the trip.

and have breakfast with her family. They filled my thermos before I left.
I was greatly moved. And I decided to pass the kindness on. The other day, I met a young man who had

You probably know how to ride a bike safely. Now learn to use a computer safely.
Your eyes
Too much light can injure your eyes, so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your
eyes should be more than 50 centimetres away from the screen. Don't forget to look away from it every now
and then. This gives your eyes a rest.
When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the light
will reflect on(反射) the screen. If the window is in front of you, the sun and the screen will both shine into your
eyes.
Your hands and wrists(手腕)
Hand and wrist injuries can happen because hands and wrists are moved in the same way hundreds of
times. If you use a keyboard for a long time, follow these three rules:
1) Rest your wrists on something.
2) Keep your elbows(肘) as high as the keyboard. 3) Stop from time to time and exercise your hands, wrists and fingers in a different way.
Your back
Some people sit for many hours in front of a computer. If you sit in the wrong way, you can injure your
back or your neck. You shouldn't bend your back when you sit. The top part of the screen should be in front of
your eyes. Your forearms, wrists, hands and the upper part of your legs should all be parallel(平行) to the floor. If
you are sitting for a long time, get up every half an hour and exercise your arms, legs and neck.
Enjoy your computer, but use it safely.

Travelling
Travelling is one of the best ways for learning. You may have read or heard about something, but you can
never get an exact picture of it until you see it yourself. Seeing is believing.Furthermore, if you are
a careful observer, you can learn much about the geography, biology and history of the places you visit during
your travel. While travelling, you can meet more people and make more friends. You can also create great
memories for your lifetime. No matter how well educated you are, there is always a lot for you to learn through
travelling.牛津译林版 8 下 Unit 3 Online tours 单元测试卷

My mother is a teacher, and I grow up with the challenges(挑战) a teacher faces. I often asked her, "Why do
you teach?What keeps you teaching?" The answer was always the same. "There is always that one child, that one
moment that is worth
it."
Now. I am a teacher, too. But different from my mother, I teach students challenging activities outdoors.
And when my mother asked me the similar questions, my answer was. "It's that one child, that one special
moment. '
One of those moments happened recently. I was working with a group of girls in a four-week programme.
Everything went on well through the "Team" events and we were moving on to a "High" one called the Wire(钢索)
Walk.
In the Wire Walk. each girl had to climb up the pegs(yield) in a tree to a wire, 8 metres high, and then walk
across it. Of course, everything was safe for sure.
When I asked who would try, a few girls raised their hands, and they finished the Wire Walk with little
difficulty.
But when it was Susie's turn, it seemed that she didn't really want to. I asked Susie if she was ready. She
answered softly, "I suppose."
Now. Susie was at the foot of the tree. She started to make the long reach for the first peg. The other girls
cheered for her. Then I found Susie was becoming nervous with every step. I realized she would not go much
further.
Susie was halfway up. Then she stopped and held the tree tight(紧紧地), looking very afraid. Her eyes were
closed. With her face against the tree, she cried, "I can't. '
The other girls sat in silence. I talked quietly to Susie, trying to relax her. I talked for a long time till I ran
out of words.
"I will still be your friend whatever. Susie!" Mary broke the silence.
To my surprise, Susie lifted her head and looked up to the wire. Then she turned to look down at Mary and
smiled. Mary smiled back.
Finally, Susie made it all the way across that wire. When she returned to the ground, the first hug she
looked for was from Mary. We all cheered. Moments like this keep me doing what I do. The young hearts continue to fill me with courage.
( ) 4. Susie stopped halfway up to the wire because_________.
A. the teacher asked her to do it B. something was wrong with it
C. she was too afraid to move on D. it was too high for her to reach
( ) 5. Mary broke the silence in order to____________.
A. encourage Susie B. relax the writer
C. try again herself D. draw Susie's attention
( )6. From the story of Susie and Mary, we can learn that__________.
A. helping others is helping ourselves
B. a word of encouragement matters a lot
C. outdoor activities bring people closer than ever
D. a good method plays an important role in teaching
( ) 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. That One Moment. B. The Wire Walk.
C. Love and Courage. D. The Young Hearts.

There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to
friends who have travelled to those places, you can go and see a colour film about them. or you can read travel
books.
It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first kind is those that give a personal,
subjective(ltd,) idea of travels which the writer has got himself. These books can be useful if the writers share
their travelling experiences with others. The second kind is those books which give objective(客观的) information
of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is
more useful. The third kind is those books which are called "a guide" to some place. If they are good, they will
describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind. they can be interesting and exciting, but their main
purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.
Whatever kind of travel books you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything
as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an eye open for its date of publication( 出版) because
travel is a very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure
that it's easy to find the useful information for your travel.
( ) 8. This passage was written to introduce________.
A. travel maps B. travel books C. travel films D. travel places
( ) 9. The writer of the first kind of travel books gives his ideas after he has________. A. travelled B. read books C. watched films D. surfed the Internet
( ) 10. The underlined phrase "a cultured person" means a person with_________.
A. a good appearance B. a good education C. a lot of experience D. a lot of money
( ) 11. The date of publication must be noticed because________.
A, the places of travel books may be different
B. the writers of travel books may be different
C. the information in travel books is always the same
D. the information in travel books is always changing
( )12. According to the passage, it is best to read______before travelling to a place of interest.
A. the first kind of travel books B. the second kind of travel books
C. the third kind of travel books D. some travel articles in newspapers

As long as everyone contributes a little, the world will become a much better place.
Most people are kind hearted and want to lend a helping hand. Now let's share some memorable moments.
Linda: Once, when I was on my way back to my hometown, I lost my purse without even knowing it. I
was told over the train's loudspeaker that my purse was at the railway station's lost and found office. But the train
had already started. Seeing my helplessness, a kind hostess offered to lend me some money. I went back to the
railway station and got my purse. I am still thankful to the railway staff and the person who found my purse.
Scott: When I was a little boy, there was a time when I went to fish with my elder sister. All of a sudden, I

who got me out of that river. I have been trying to help other people whenever I can all these years.
Tiaa: One of my neighbours is an old man who cannot speak. He makes money by recycling waste. Our
other neighbours don't like his behaviour. But in my opinion, it's his way to support his family. Once, after

when I was about to go out, I found nothing outside my door but a note, "I have thrown away your rubbish. You
are a nice girl. Thanks a lot!"

help you achieve the career you want.They can help you know more clearly about your achievements in school
and in the world of work.

五、任务型阅读。(共 10 分)
While you are at the bookstore, you may be faced with a difficult decision: e-books or paper books? Each one
has its advantages and disadvantages. Making the best decision depends on a number of factors( 因素).
An e-reader can carry a whole library wherever you go, which is great for travellers or those who always
want a choice of reading materials. Although e-readers are convenient, high levels of screen brightness from an
electronic device(电子设备) can cause eye problems. A study by the Information Science Research found that
young people preferred e-readers, like smartphones or iPads. That's why most teenagers are short-sighted.
Many book lovers prefer paper books and value the feeling of reading paper books. Paper books are very
well designed.They look and smell good, and they carry with them a more human touch. Avid(热衷的) readers
prefer reading on paper. Perhaps this is their choice because paper books give them a sense of ownership. It is
reported that reading on paper rather than an electronic screen is better for memory and focus. But paper books are
heavy and they are not convenient to carry.
Which is your decision, an e-book or a paper book?

Growing up with Good Books
My dear friends,
Reading is very important. By reading books, not only can we get all kinds of knowledge but also we can
open our minds, At the same time, we will be able to improve our ability to solve problems. In a word, reading
can make our life colourful.
However, some students spend much time watching TV or surfing the Internet instead of reading books.
They hate reading books. It is boring for them to read books.
In my opinion, we should make a reading plan and read more good books. We should also keep a good
habit of reading. Let it become part of our life.

A
Hundreds of years ago, no dandelions(蒲公英) grew in North America. Then people came from Europe.
They had dandelion seeds on their clothes. The seeds fell from their clothes onto the ground. Since then,
dandelions have spread all over.
Most people believe that dandelions are weeds. They do not want them in their gardens. But some people think that dandelion flowers are pretty. And others think that dandelions taste good. They cook dandelion leaves
or put them into a fresh salad. The leaves must be picked before the flowers come out or they will not taste good.
Some people make dandelion flowers into wine.
Dandelions do not die easily. If it is not very cold in winter, their leaves may stay green. When spring
arrives, their flowers come out. Each night their bright yellow flowers close up. When the sun shines in the
morning, they open up again. Dandelion flowers are very unusual. They do not have to get pollen(花粉) from
another dandelion flower in order to form seeds. So after several days, the yellow flower turns white and soft. A
tiny brown seed forms at the bottom of each white petal(花瓣). When the wind blows, the petals float away. Each
white petal carries a seed away. This lets the dandelions spread their seeds all over. New dandelions grow where
the seeds land.
( ) 1. The underlined word "weeds" means ______
A. pretty flowers B. fresh vegetables C. wild plants D. green trees
( ) 2. When is the best time to pick dandelion leaves to eat?
A. After their flowers come out. B. After their flowers turn white.
C. Before their flowers come out. D. Before their flowers close up.
( ) 3. What is the best title for this passage?
A. The History of Dandelions. B. Dandelions: Plants Or Food.
C. The Use of Dandelions. D. How to Grow Dandelions.
B
Different countries have different customs. When you travel in other countries, please follow their customs,
just as the saying goes,"________ ."
Very often people who travel in the United States forget to tip(付小费). It is usual to tip porters who help
carry your bags, taxi drivers and waiters. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers
expect about the same amount.
In the UK, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It's important to respect lines there.
It's a good idea to talk about the weather. It's a favourite subject of conversation with the British.
In Spain, it's a good idea to have a light meal in afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have
dinner very late, and restaurants do not generally open until after 9 p. m.
In Arab countries, men kiss one another on the cheek(脸颊). Your host may welcome you with a kiss on
both cheeks. It is polite of you to do the same.
In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time.
When a person gives you a card, don't put it into your pocket right away. The person expects you to read it.
Don't forget to be careful of your body language to express something in conversation A kind of body
language that is acceptable in one culture may be impolite in another.
( )4. When you travel to the USA, you don't need to tip
A. porters B. waiters C. taxi drivers D. teachers
( ) 5. The missing sentence in the first paragraph should be "_______".
A. Love me, love my dog B. He who laughs last laughs best
