学年四川省绵阳市八年级上学期期末英语试题
Teeth are very important to us. To keep our teeth healthy, we need to go to the dentist often. Some
children are afraid to go to the dentist, but not me.
I’m an 8-year-old boy with the name of Tom. I have a funny dentist. His name is Dr. Happy. I don’t
think that’s his real name, but that’s what he tells the kids. He has a cool waiting room with
computer games and a big toy box. Dr. Happy always wears funny hats. He asks funny questions
when he pulls teeth like “Are you married yet?” “What’s your job?” and “Do you eat flowers to
make your breath smell so sweet?” That makes me laugh. One time, I went to get one of my teeth
pulled. He let me lie down and asked “What has lots of teeth but never goes to the dentist?” A
moment later, he said, “A comb
（梳子）
!”
When I laughed, he pulled my tooth. It didn’t hurt at all! He also teaches me how to take care of my
teeth in an interesting way. When I leave, he always sends me home with a surprise. Last Saturday,
he dressed like a rubber spider
（橡胶蜘蛛）
to send me home. It scared my mom a lot.
Thanks to Dr. Happy, I have such healthy teeth.

). But what will the changes be?
The population is growing fast. There will be more people in the world and most of them will live
longer than people do now.
Computers will be much smaller and more useful and there will be at least one in every home. And
computer studies will be one of the mot important subjects in school then.
People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports,
watching TV and travelling. Travelling will be much cheaper and easier. And many people will go
to other countries on holidays.
There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses.
Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe people
won’t eat meat every day. Instead, they will eat more fruits and vegetables. And people will be
healthier.
Work in the future will also be different. Robots will do dangerous and hard work. Because of this,
many people will lose their jobs. This will be a problem.

One afternoon, I visited an art museum and I was really looking forward to a quiet view of the art
works.

found the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband’s patience. Distracted by their noise, I
moved on.

I met them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her
continuous talk, I moved away quickly.
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop when the couple came near the exit. Before
they left, the man pulled out a white thing from his pocket. He extended it into a long stick and then
tapped his way out.
“He’s a brave man,” the clerk said. “I would give up if I were blinded at such a young age. But he
said his life wouldn’t change during his recovery. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever
there’s a new art show.”
“But how does he enjoy the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.”
“Can’t see? You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes
each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing
paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to
change his life. And I saw the love shared two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in
hand.
