At 9:00 a.m. yesterday, bus NO.26 was going along Zhonghua Road when the driver saw
an old man lying on the side of the road. A woman next to him was shouting for help.
The bus driver, 24-year-old Wang Ping, stopped the bus without thinking twice. He got
off and asked the woman what happened. She said that the man had a heart problem and
should go to the hospital. Mr. Wang knew he had to act quickly. He told the passengers
that he must take the man to the hospital. He expected most or all of the passengers to get
off and wait for the next bus. But to his surprise, they all agreed to go with him. Some

group was set up to help disabled people like me. You helped to make it possible for me
to have Lucky. Lucky makes a big difference to my life. Let me tell you my story.
What would it be like to be blind or deaf? Or imagine you can
’

easily. Most people would never think about this, but many people have these difficulties.
I can
’
t use my arms or legs well, so normal things like answering the telephone, opening
and closing doors, or carrying things are difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend
of mine helped me out. She talked to Animal Helpers about getting me a special trained
dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I love animals and I was excited about
the idea of having a dog.
After six months of training with a dog at Animal Helpers, I was able to bring him home.
My dog

s name is Lucky---a good name for him because of your kindness!

Dear Sir,
I do not understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at
6
2015
年八年级下册英语任务型阅读
home. Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They do not have time to
study and do housework, too. Housework is a waste of their time. Could we just let them
do their job as students? They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good
grades
and
get
into
a
good
university.
Also,
when
they
get
order,
they
have
to
do
housework so there is no need for them to do it now. It is the parents
’
job to provide a
clean and comfortable environment at home for their children. And anyway, I think doing
chores is not so difficult. I do not mind doing them.
Ms. Miller

What

She thinks doing chores is _____________________.
(

(

(
) 3. It

(

,
I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with
7

年八年级下册英语任务型阅读
housework. It is not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend
on
their
parents
too
much.
They
are
always
asking,
“
Could
you
get
this
for
me?
”
or
“
Could you help me with that?
”
Doing chores helps to develop children
’
s independence
and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea
of
fairness.
Since
they
live
in
one
house
with
their
parents,
they
should
know
that
everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbors
’
son got into a
good college but during his first year, he had no ides how to take care of himself. As a
result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped. The earlier kids learn to be independent,
the better it is for their future.
Mr. Smith
(
) 1. This letter is from Ms. Miller to Mr. Smith.
(
) 2. It is not important for children to learn how to do chores.
(

Mr. Hunt,
My problem
is
that I can

t
get
on with
my family. Relations between my
parents
have
become difficult. They fight a lot, and I really don
’
t like it. It
’
s the only communication
they have. I don
’
t know if I should say anything to them about this. When they argue, it
’
s
like a big, black cloud hanging over our home. Also, my elder brother is not very nice to
me. He always refuses me to watch my favorite TV show. Instead he watches whatever
he wants until late at night.
I don
’
t think this is fair. At home I always feel lonely and
nervous. Is that normal? What can I do?

Dear Li Ming,
It
’
s not easy being your age, and it
’
s normal to have these feelings. Why don
’
t you talk
about these feelings with your family? If your parents are having problems, you should
offer to help. Maybe you could do more jobs around the house so they have more time
for
proper
communication.
Secondly,
why
don
’
t
you
sit
down
and
communicate
with
your
brother?
You
should
explain
that
you
don
’
t
mind
him
watching
TV
all

time.
However, he should let you watch your favorite show. I hope things will be better for you
soon.
