新课标（Go for it）英语八年级下册 Unit4 单元检测一

— I can't do my homework now. I ______ my homework in the classroom this morning.

    Monday morning is an important time at our school. All of the students go to the playground. We listen to music, and we1the national flag (国旗) go up.

    Usually, one student gives a talk on Monday mornings. One Monday last year, a boy gave the talk. He was2and excited! When I saw him, I wanted to have a try, too. Can I really do it?

    Last week, our teacher said our class should give the talk. My teacher3me, “I know you want to have a try. Next Monday, you can give the talk. Go and write something down. Get ready for it. I'm sure you'll do well. ”

    “Thank you,” I answered. It was such a great 4 for me! When I got home, I was excited. I wrote two pages for the talk. I read them again and again. When I read, I asked my parents 5. I wanted to make my teacher happy.

    Monday morning came. I began to feel 6. When did I last give a talk to so many people? Never! This was my first time. Could I really do it? Maybe I couldn't finish the talk.

    When I got to school, we all went out to playground. I 7 in front of everyone. I opened my mouth, but I couldn't say anything.

    “Take it easy,” I said to8. “Don't be nervous. You can do it. ”

    Just then, I looked down at everyone. I saw about 1,000 eyes. They were all looking at me! I couldn't even stand up.

    I looked at their eyes more carefully. Their eyes were saying, “You can do it! Don't be afraid, just talk!”

    I9a big breath(呼吸). Then I began to talk. It wasn't hard. It was easy.

    I don't know10I finished my talk. But I did it. I felt so good that day. I showed myself to everyone what I can do.

    In the world today, all of the people need to have fun when they are free. We can't work all the time if we are going to keep healthy and enjoy life.

    Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular form (形式) is to take part in sports. There are team sports, such as basketball and football. There are also individual(个人的) sports, such as swimming and running. Skating and mountain climbing are the most popular recreation (消遣) for people who like to be outdoors.

    Not everyone who enjoys sports likes to take part in them. Many people like watching them on TV or listening to them on the radio. So many people like some indoor relaxation, such as watching TV, singing and dancing.

    It doesn't matter if we like indoor recreation or take part in outdoor sports. It is important for everyone to relax from time to time, and enjoy some themselves.
