（新版）人教新目标版（Go for it）八年级下册Unit 2 I'll help to clean up the city parks. Section A同步测试

Dear Brad,

    In about 3 months, I will take a very important test. If I  (pass) the test with good grades, I can get to the 10^th grade and choose a good school  (study) in. Now I am trying my best to make my dream  (come) true. At the same time, I'm the monitor in my class, which means I should do lots of things for my class. I am so busy with my school work and duties as a monitor that I don't have enough time  (keep) a balance between them. Gradually I become lazy. The other day, my head teacher  (tell) me that she was disappointed in my poor performance as the class monitor. Her words really discouraged me.

    What should I do now, to give up or not to give up as the class monitor? I must (do) my best in school because how well I do will influence where I go after this school year is over and it can affect the rest of my life.  (be) a class monitor is also a valuable learning experience because my teacher trusts me  (be) a good leader. I don't want  (go) to my parents for suggestions, for they will get worried about me. Can you tell me how  (choose)?

                                                                                                                                                                                  Yours,

                                                                                                                                                                                   Gates

    Years ago, while I lived in England, part of my college task(任务) was to help the children with special needs. I was chosen to 1 in a school with disabled children. The teacher asked me to 2 Nancy, a ten- year-old girl. One of 3 hands could not move.  At her school the teachers would think it was an achievement 4 she was able to put on her own coat. But I saw more in her. She had always wanted to put a string(线) 5 the hole of a key.

    For the 5 years Nancy was in the school, the teachers always 6 to help her, but always ended up doing all the work for her. I knew Nancy could do 7, so I encouraged her to do something herself. At first Nancy often failed and got very 8. Sometimes l wanted to give up too. 9, after a week Nancy was able to do 10 she had wanted to alone for so many years. Her teachers cried 11 when they saw the thing she was able to do with just some encouragement.

    Disabled people should 12 be told they can't do this or that. With just some encouragement they can do it. The look 13 that girl's face when she was able to do it herself meant  14 to me. I hope everyone will encourage people to do all they want by themselves 15 telling them they can't do it.
