八年级期中能力训练——阅读理解

（一）

Fifty-eight years ago Barbie Millicent Roberts first appeared in the world of toys. Since then,

Barbie doll, as everyone called her, has become the most successful toy doll in history. Her parent,

the Mattel Company, said that 90%of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie

at home.

However, Barbie is facing some trouble at present( 现在).There are many similar dolls on the

market in competition with her. Another doll named Bratz, for example, came to life sixteen years

ago. She looked more like today's pop stars with heavy makeup( 浓妆 )and miniskirts. And her

company offers more kinds of clothes too.

It seems that Barbie has lost her magic among older girls. "For younger girls, playing with a

Barbie is much fun. But when you get older, you want something smarter and more modern," says

Vera Shepherd, a shop assistant in a New York toy store.

It is good news that on the international market，Barbie is still No.l.Although Mattel is selling

fewer Barbies in the United States these years, sales in other countries are still going up. In

January 2009, Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai，where girls can shop，eat，drink

or even become fashion designers for their own Barbies.

Mattel planned a big celebration for Barbie's 53th birthday in 2012. Fashion designers from all

over the world were called to make new dresses for Barbie. How long will Barbie stay popular in

the world of toy dolls? It is hard to say, but it is surely not the age to retire(退休).

Nowadays more and more children seem to get lost in a "sea of digital(数字) technology". As

they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can't

make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be

losing interest in communicating with others.

"I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing numbers of young

pupils who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to make things."

said a teacher, Colin Kinney. "Many pupils can't communicate with other pupils but their parents

talk proudly of their ability to use a computer or a smart phone."

Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and

quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑)on weekends and fter scriool. How can a child grow up to be a

very good artist if he doesn't learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How

can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn't learn to communicate with others at

a young age?

Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to either break a window

or build a house. We shouldn′t blame the children. We should help them make right choices. It is

certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today's world, but what

is more important, we should encourage them to develop social abilities which will do them good

when they grow up.

Almost every Chinese person can recite(背诵) the two lines of the famous poem, “Every grain

on the plate comes from hard work ”. But sadly, many of us don’t actually get the real meaning of

these lines: Don’t waste food.

A CCTV program reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to

feed 200 million people for a year. Do we have too much food? Absolutely not. According to the

UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2011,

especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.

Chinese people are well-known for being friendly and generous. Many even feel that they lose

face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table. Luckily, a number of people have realized

the importance of saving food. What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food?

1. Don’t order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot

eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.
