1. (2026八上·高坪月考) It was a hot sunny summer day. A tired man was walking through a desert. He lost his way and had no more water with him. He felt helpless and thought he would certainly die if he could not meet his thirst (口渴)。

Suddenly, he saw a small house not far away. He could not believe his eyes but he decided to walk closer to have a look.

The small house was abandoned (废弃的), but had a hand pump (泵) inside. "How lucky!" the man thought. However his over-excitement soon came down when he saw no water coming out of it. As he was about to leave, he noticed a bottle of water in the corner of the room. And there was a piece of paper under that bottle. It said, "Use the water to start the pump. Don't forget to fill this bottle. "

What should he do now? He stopped and thought for a moment. He could simply drink that bottle of water and save his life at once.

He drank it like a thirsty cow, refilled (再装满) the bottle and put it back in the corner. Besides, he added some words on the paper, "Believe me; it works."

He also refilled his own water bottles, rested for half an hour, and started his journey once again with a smile on his face.

Nature is full of wonderful plants and animals that are connected to our lives in many different ways.

Nature's Gifts for Humans

Nature doesn't just look nice—it also gives us many important things. Many plants give us food directly, like apples from apple trees and rice from rice fields. For example, silkworms (蚕) make silk, and then we use silk to make soft and beautiful clothes.

Useful and Long-lasting Plants

Redwood trees can grow to over 100 meters tall and weigh hundreds of tons. Bamboo grows really fast and can be made into many things, like chairs, baskets, and musical instruments. In some Asian countries, people often plant ginkgo trees. These trees can live for thousands of years, and their leaves are even used to make some kinds of medicine.

Small Animals, Big Helpers

Small animals play a big role too. Butterflies with colorful wings help flowers by carrying pollen from one to another. Bees make honey in their honeycombs, which people love to eat. Frogs are helpful too because they eat insects that feed on crops (庄稼). A frog can eat thousands of bad insects each year! This helps farmers grow healthy food for us all.

Small Wonders in Nature

When we go for a walk in nature, we might see mushrooms under leaves or lotus flowers in the lakes. If we look closely enough, we might also find wild strawberries growing in the grass or pretty roses by the roadside.

All of these plants and animals are connected in the ecosystem. This is why we must protect nature.

A. This process called pollination helps plants make seeds (结籽).

B. However, not everyone understands their importance in the world.

C. They help clean the air and are used to build houses.

D. Let's explore some of these amazing connections!

E. Some animals also provide (提供) us with useful things.

F. Without them, our planet would lose its balance.

1. (2026八上·高坪月考) There was an old man who loved reading newspapers. He would go to the nearest store to buy newspapers every day. The shop assistant (店员) saw that the old man only bought newspapers so he showed no respect for him and was always impolite. Every time the old man went to buy newspapers, the shop assistant would throw (扔) the newspaper or be rude when giving the change (零钱). He wouldn't even look the old man in the eye. The old man's friend asked, "Since he treats (对待) you like that, why don't you go to other places to buy newspapers?" The old man answered with a smile, "If I get angry with him and go to another place to buy newspapers, I'll have to take a detour (绕路). This will not only waste my time but also bring trouble. Anyway, it's his problem that he has bad manners (礼仪). Why should I let his actions change my mood (心情)?"

One day, a new shop assistant came to the store. This new shop assistant would always greet the old man with a smile, and give him his newspapers kindly. Each time the old man talked with the new shop assistant happily. The old shop assistant began to think about his own actions and realized how bad he had been toward the old man. From then on, the old shop assistant slowly changed his ways. He became patient and respectful (有礼貌的) toward everyone coming in. The old man was also happy to accept (接受) his change.

1. (2026八上·高坪月考) Tom was a successful businessman. He spent most of his time making money. Recently, Tom noticed (注意到) that his son, Max, was spending more and more time on his phone and losing interest in everything else. He thought it was time to make a change.

So one day, Tom decided to take Max on a trip, not to an expensive restaurant or an amusement park (游乐园). Instead, he chose the countryside. When they arrived at the village, everything felt different. The houses were simple, and there were few shopping malls or vehicles (车辆). But to Tom's surprise, Max had no problem fitting in. He quickly made friends with the children there. They played games and laughed together. He even talked with an old lady who kindly gave him some homemade snacks.

Two days later, it was time to leave. On the way back, Tom asked his son, "What do you think of life in the countryside?" The boy thought for a moment, and then said, "In the countryside, I could run freely in the fields and play with so many kids. The night sky is full of stars. I haven't seen that before in the city. And the people here can grow their own food." Max continued, "You know what, Dad? What touched me most was how everyone looks after each other. They share what they have and always help one another."

Tom smiled and asked, "But people here don't have much money, do they?" Max shook his head and said, "No, Dad. They may not be rich in money, but they're rich in happiness." Hearing this, Tom felt very proud (骄傲的) of his son.
