（23-24八年级上·江苏盐城·期中）My grandfather was a teacher. He was also the head teacher of a school for boys between the ages of thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was a kind and gentle man at heart, because when I was young, he gave me presents, and sat me on his knees, and told me stories. But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.
At school, when he walked into a room full of noisy boys, there was silence (安静) at once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eyes, that boy went red in the face, and looked down at his shoes. If a boy brought him poor, careless work, the work that was not the best that boy could do, my grandfather picked up the boy’s work and threw it across the room, shouting, “Do it all again, and bring it back first thing in the morning!” If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring the work, he had to do it again, and again, and yet again.

Math club gives me precious memories.
Some of my most favorite memories of the days back in middle school were through math club-Math Counts-and competitions. I 13 being so excited to stay at the hotel with my friends, unable to sleep that first night because of the nervousness of competing the morning after.
14 makes perfect.
I learned this simple idea through all those Friday afternoons spent with my Math Counts team, practicing for two hours 15 . With the same goals in our minds-go to state and qualify for nationals-we practiced hard. And even after the practice, some students stayed around trying to work out the problems.
Having a good time with my friends.
Even though we were those “nerdy” kids who were simply good at math, we were just like all 16 middle school kids when it came to having fun.

I remember the morning of the competition, we had a snowball fight (even though we weren’t supposed to), and a snowball knocked my glasses 18 my face. Because of the heavy snow, it took 5 minutes for 10 kids to find the pair of glasses.
Skills for future.
So, why join math clubs By doing so, you will gain confidence, learn from your mistakes, and know what it feels like to be pressured. 19 , I’ve never had trouble in any of my math classes in high school because I gained the ability to learn and digest the new math skills very quickly.

Math club gives me precious memories.
Some of my most favorite memories of the days back in middle school were through math club-Math Counts-and competitions. I 13 being so excited to stay at the hotel with my friends, unable to sleep that first night because of the nervousness of competing the morning after.
14 makes perfect.
I learned this simple idea through all those Friday afternoons spent with my Math Counts team, practicing for two hours 15 . With the same goals in our minds-go to state and qualify for nationals-we practiced hard. And even after the practice, some students stayed around trying to work out the problems.
Having a good time with my friends.
Even though we were those “nerdy” kids who were simply good at math, we were just like all 16 middle school kids when it came to having fun. We took breaks together going to the school vending machine to buy a bag of chips and 17 around in the hallway. I remember the morning of the competition, we had a snowball fight (even though we weren’t supposed to), and a snowball knocked my glasses 18 my face. Because of the heavy snow, it took 5 minutes for 10 kids to find the pair of glasses.
Skills for future.
So, why join math clubs By doing so, you will gain confidence, learn from your mistakes, and know what it feels like to be pressured. 19 , I’ve never had trouble in any of my math classes in high school because I gained the ability to learn and digest the new math skills very quickly.

四、任务型阅读
（22-23八年级上·江苏淮安·期中）March 24th
This morning, we had a school trip to the Dashan Collection House, a building of two floors. It is open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. We took the school bus and arrived (到达) at 9:00. When we entered the collection house, our eyes were caught by a collection of old photos of the town on the walls of the front hall. Those photos told us something about the history of the town. And then in the Art Room, we saw many photos of the countryside. Some famous local artists drew them. The colors of the flowers and the trees were rich and bright. All at once, I lost myself in the beauty of nature.
Then we went upstairs (楼上). On the left, there were over one hundred different clocks. The oldest clock was already more than two hundred years old. To my surprise, the clocks all worked well and they could tell the right time. It was then ten o’clock, and some clocks made different beautiful sounds. It seemed to be a concert. How amazing!
On the right there was also a stone (石头) collection. The stones were from all over the country. They were in different sizes, colors and shapes. Some looked like different kinds of animals. I really liked one stone that looked like a little monkey. It looked very nice.
The collections there were wonderful. So we stayed there until 12:00 in the morning. I had a great time and really liked the school trip.
