（23-24八年级下·重庆彭水·期中）As more information comes out about 10-year-old Cindy Smith’s
death (死亡), worries about amusement park safety (游乐场安全性) grow.
Cindy is not the first child who died on an amusement park ride. 25 years ago, the mother of a 14-year-old
girl waited to pick up her daughter outside Worlds of Fun. Laura Barry never saw her daughter Rosie alive again.
“My heart goes out to the Smith family more than they can ever possibly know,” said Barry. She is one of
the few people who truly know the hurt that family is feeling.
In 1995, Rosie’s mom said that something went wrong on the Timber Wolf the night Rosie died. Police
found no evidence (证据). Two men told the police that they saw Rosie standing before she fell out of the car.
“I couldn’t believe that such a thing could happen still and again,” said Barry. She believes Rosie’s death
should have been a wakeup call for amusement park safety.
She finds that not much has changed in the past years. Amusement parks race to build bigger, taller, faster
rides. In her opinion, amusement parks just try to bring in visitors and give them the idea that riding is good, safe
and fun. She believes that parks should have put safety first.
There is no exact number of amusement park deaths each year. It is quite low according to some websites.
But Barry doesn’t accept that. “My daughter was the only person that had ever been killed at Worlds of Fun in all
of the years, among all of the thousands and thousands of people that went there. The number doesn’t mean
anything, you know, because when your child is the one, that’s one too many,” she said.

A．制止 B．同情 C．想念 D．忍受
2．How did Barry feel when saying the words in Paragraph 5?
A．Afraid. B．Angry. C．Hopeful. D．Interested.
3．What can we learn about amusement parks?A．They are building more rides. B．Most of them put safety first.
C．They cause a large number of deaths. D．They paid Barry a lot for Rosie’s death.
4．What is the text mainly about?
A．The story of the Smith family. B．The death of a 10-year-old girl.
C．The safety of amusement parks. D．The future of amusement parks.

（23-24八年级下·陕西渭南·期末）There was a terrible earthquake several days ago. Many people lost
their lives and many houses fell down. After the earthquake, the newspapers reported many stories about families
who were in trouble.
One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, a special picture touched me. It gave the clothing sizes of
each family member. I thought this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less
lucky. I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old daughter Meghan, “We have so much
food and clothes, and those poor people now have nothing. We can share what we have with them.”
I filled a box with some food and old clothes. While I was doing this, I asked the boys to donate some of
their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and put them in the box.
Then she walked away. A few minutes later, she came back with Connie, her favorite toy. She put it on top of the
other toys. “Oh, dear.” I said, “You don’t have to give Connie. You love Connie so much.”Meghan said, “Connie
makes me happy, Mom. Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy, too.”
Meghan taught me a lesson. It’s easy to give something that we don’t want anymore, but hard to give what
we love.
