八年级英语阅读补充材料挑战原版：海滩度假

Seafood, surf and seals

On our last holiday, we drank cold beer and ate

fish outside a beach bar while watching surfers.

Where were we –France? Spain? Portugal? No, we

were in St Ives (圣艾夫斯), a small town in the south

of England.

①Visitors like St Ives more than famous places

like Brighton and Blackpool. They like its excellent

beaches and warm weather. Most people here make money from tourists now, but in the past, fishing was more important. Fishing boats still work here and sell fish to nearby restaurants and pubs.

The beaches are all different. Porthmeor is popular with surfers. Porthminster is warmer and good for families with young children. Porthgwidden is the smallest and quietest, great for people who don’t like crowds. The Harbour Beach is best for people who don’t want to walk too far from the shops, pubs and restaurants.

Most visitors just come here for the beaches, but there are lots of other things to do. ②You can have surfing lessons, see modern art, or go on a boat trip to Seal Island to see the seals swimming and lying in the sun.

Some students do a lot to have the best costume. And teachers plan activities or make competitions to show how important it is to read.

In western countries, people always talk about the weather, but nobody can do anything about it. That is the truth. They usually begin their talks with "A nice day, isn't it?" "Do you think it will rain?" "What a fine day!" etc. Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But they can never agree with one another. One man may say, "Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It's going to rain tomorrow." Another man would say, "No, it's going to be fine tomorrow.” People are often looking for the weather that they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something that could tell him it's going to rain; He won't believe anything else. When friends want to have a travel, they are sure that the weather is going to clear up very quickly. Almost everyone listens to what the weather man says. But he doesn't always tell us what we want, and once in a while he makes a mistake. Still, he probably comes closer to being correct than anyone else. 51. "Nobody can do anything about the weather" means ____. A. nobody can change weather B. nobody can talk about weather C. nobody can make weather D. nobody likes weather 52. ____ is a common way to start a talk. A. Smile B. Talking about weather C. Keeping silent D. Asking each other's names 53. Many people hope the weather will be ____. A. cloudy B. like what they like to be C. rainy D. fine 54. A weatherman probably is a man who ____. A. can see weather B. can change weather C. reports weather D. is made of weather 55. When it is cloudy in the east, you know that ____ tomorrow. A. it will be still cloudy B. it will be fine C. it is going to rain D. A or B or C ABBCD Feeling left out A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn’t around．Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes． It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new friends. But how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends．But remember, there’s always room for more friends. Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly．Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them．Invite someone to play
