For thousands of years, the greatest thinkers have suggested the same thing: Happiness is found
in helping others. Plenty of facts and information have been provided to 65 the idea that
helping others may be the secret to living a life that is happier, healthier and more meaningful.
Giving can make us feel great. And as we all know, giving can help us become more relaxed.
66 , the more you give, the more likely you are to gain a sense of achievement and satisfaction.
Here are some practical steps you can take to help others:
1. Find your love. Think about the things you enjoy doing in your free time. Once you know
what you love, you can use that to help others. If you love animals, you could help by volunteering
at an animal shelter. When you help others in something you love, you won’t get 67 easily.
You’ll keep doing it because it makes you feel good.
2. Give your time. The gift of time is often more 68 than the gift of money. Time is like
liquid gold and you can’t get it back once it’s gone. Sometimes, people need help with their
2024学年第一学期期末考试九年级英语试卷 第5页 共8页homework, or someone to walk their dogs, or even just someone to talk to. By giving your time,
you can be that helping hand.
3. Don’t 69 about yourself. To help others, you need to have energy. If you don’t look
after yourself, you might run out of energy and won’t be able to help as much. So make sure you’re
not ignoring your own feelings or needs 70 you’re helping others. You are very important, too!
Remember, helping others can take many forms, and it’s often the small acts of kindness that
have the most dramatic effect.
65. A) develop B) consider C) create D) support
66. A) For example B) In addition C) However D) Therefore
67. A) bored B) excited C) curious D) satisfied
68. A) surprising B) necessary C) precious D) expensive
69. A) care B) worry C) forget D) talk
70. A) once B) while C) until D) because
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的
词,使内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给) (14分)
Guide dogs are service animals which are carefully trained to lead their
owners around, avoiding other people and objects, so their owners can travel
s 71 and independently. In honour of the guide dogs, April 29th is
named International Guide Dog Day. Without them, many disabled people
could not do simple daily activities. Here are three stories of how guide dogs
have i 72 people’s lives:
Story 1 Creating hope
Nathan was born with eye illness. At nineteen years old, he lost his sight c 73 . At that time,
he felt hopeless. Then his family decided to get a guide dog, Hudson and that made a big difference
in his life. Hudson helped Nathan cross the road, take a bus and even buy things at the supermarket.
Now, even though Nathan can’t see, he becomes b 74 enough to do anything. Hudson is more
than just a guide dog. He is Nathan’s best friend.
Story 2 Going after a dream
Sami is just like any sixteen-year-old girl, except that she is blind. However, that hasn’t stopped
Sami from long distance running. Before going blind, she loved to run and she didn’t want to stop
because of her disability. Thanks to her guide dog, Chloe, she is able to c 75 doing what she
loves. Chloe runs with Sami for miles and trains with her every day. This makes Sami strong enough
to do long distance running with her teammates.
Story 3 B 76 friendship
Maisy and Claire are both blind and they met when they got their guide dogs. Their dogs liked
each other, so Maisy and Claire started talking. They began to spend time together because of their
dogs, and they got along really well. They enjoyed being together, and their dogs did too. It was
nice because they could understand each other since they both had the same e 77 of not being
able to see.

“I like photography because it captures amazing things that you might not
see again,” Timmy Watter says. He takes pictures of flowers, sunsets, road signs
and ancient buildings. But those photos don’t usually end up in a photo album
or on his bedroom walls. Timmy sells them and donates the money to help fight
lung cancer (肺癌).
When Timmy was five, he found out that his aunt Bella had lung cancer. He wanted to do
something to help her. His first plan was to sell his photos from a vendor’s stand (小贩摊位) in
front of his house. “My mum said it wouldn’t work because we were not on a busy street.” Timmy
explains.
His next idea was to have an art show. Timmy decorated his home with candles, flowers and
white lights. Then he arranged his photos. Timmy’s mum, Sara, remembers: “Everything was filled
with photos, including our dining-room table and the living room.” Timmy’s friends, family, and
teachers came to the show. He raised more than $300 for cancer research that night. “Aunt Bella
was very happy and excited,” Timmy says.
After a local newspaper wrote a story about Timmy’s photos, a volunteer offered to help him
set up a website called Camera for a Cure. As more and more people learned about his cause,
Timmy began receiving invitations to sell his pictures at art galleries and charity events. Since then,
his work has appeared in more than 20 shows. To prepare, he takes lots of photographs. His mum
helps him print and frame (给……镶框) them. Then he gives each one a price and decides where it
will be displayed. When Timmy is at a show, he greets each customer and talks about what he was
thinking when he took his photos. And he always shares facts about lung cancer. Sometimes
donations and sales are slow, but Timmy isn’t worried. “It doesn’t matter how much money we
made because____82____,” he says.
Timmy knows that finding a cure for lung cancer will take time and effort. So, Timmy will
keep doing his part by taking and selling photos of the things he sees.
78. Timmy doesn’t usually put his photos in a photo album, does he?
