Many people think “being the same” means good friendship, but Lisa and Emma prove it wrong. They look alike but have lovely differences.
Lisa and Emma are my classmates. At first, I mixed them up—they have the same ____16____ (slim figure, short hair) and similar white shoes. But soon their ____17____ stood out.
Lisa is outgoing. She organizes break-time games; last week, she made a “word game” to review Unit 3 words like “____18____” and “difference”. Emma is shy. She reads ____19____ in class, like *The Prince and the Pauper* by Mark Twain.
In sports, Lisa plays basketball ____20____ than most boys and asks us to join. Emma likes drawing—she sketches flowers in her ____21____ time and won a school prize last year.

Though different, they help each other. When Lisa struggles with math, Emma explains it step by step. When Emma fears speaking in public, Lisa ____24____ her to breathe and start slow.
Last month, our class had an English show. Lisa practiced a ____25____ piece for three weeks, and Emma wrote a friendship poem. They practiced together weekends and got big applause.
After the show, Emma said, “We learn from each other’s ____26____—Lisa teaches me courage, I help her be careful.”
Last week, our teacher asked us to write about “Same or Different”. I wrote about them. The teacher said my passage was great for using Unit 3 words like “____27____” and “personality”.
When we shared passages in class, Lisa and Emma smiled at me. I felt happy—our story let everyone know differences make friendship more ____28____.
Yesterday, we planned to go to the library together. Lisa wanted to borrow English comedies, and Emma wanted to get drawing books. We agreed to go separately first, then meet—this small thing showed we accept each other’s ____29____.

Have you read the novel *The Prince and the Pauper* by Mark Twain It tells a story about two boys who look exactly alike but have completely different lives.
The prince, Edward Tudor, lives in a beautiful palace. He has everything he wants—expensive clothes, delicious food, and many servants. But he is not happy. He is tired of his strict life—he has to learn difficult subjects all day and can’t play with other children.
The pauper, Tom Canty, lives in a small and dirty house. He has no money, no warm clothes, and often goes hungry. But he is curious about the world. He likes to listen to stories about the palace and dreams of living a different life.
One day, Edward and Tom meet by accident outside the palace. They are surprised by how alike they look. They decide to exchange clothes and live each other’s lives for a day. But things don’t go as planned—Edward is mistaken for Tom and is forced to live a poor life, while Tom has to pretend to be the prince.
During their exchange, both boys learn important lessons. Edward experiences hunger and cold for the first time. He realizes how hard poor people’s lives are and decides to be a kind king when he grows up. Tom, on the other hand, learns that being a prince is not easy—he has to deal with difficult state affairs and follow strict rules. He misses his old life, even though it was poor.
In the end, Edward and Tom meet again and exchange back their lives. But they never forget their experience.

Making friends with classmates is important for middle school students. But sometimes, it’s hard to start a conversation with someone you don’t know well. One easy way is to find similarities between you and them. Here are some tips.
First, observe their hobbies. Look at what they do during break time—do they read books, play sports, or listen to music If you see someone reading an English novel, you can ask, “Do you like English stories too I just finished one last week.” Shared hobbies help start a friendship.
Second, talk about study experiences. You can ask, “How do you remember new English words ” or “Do you find math problems difficult ” Most students have similar study troubles, so this topic brings you closer. For example, if a classmate uses flashcards to memorize words, you can share you do the same—this is a similarity to build on.
Third, pay attention to small details. Do they have a flute-themed necklace Or a sticker of their favorite cartoon on their notebook These can start a talk. You can say, “I like flutes too!” or “I love that cartoon too!”
Finally, be open and honest. Don’t pretend to like something just to make friends. If you don’t share a hobby, find other similarities—like both having a younger sister or liking ice cream. The key is to listen and show interest.
Finding similarities with classmates isn’t hard. With these tips, you can easily start a conversation and make new friends.
37. What is the easy way to start a conversation with unfamiliar classmates

四、信息还原（每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s common to compare yourself with classmates—maybe you think someone is better at English, or more popular than you. But comparing yourself in a wrong way can make you feel bad. 40 Here’s how to do it healthily.
First, focus on strengths, not just weaknesses. When you compare yourself with someone, don’t only look at what they do better. 41 For example, if your deskmate is good at speaking English, but you’re better at writing, that’s a strength you can be proud of. Everyone has different advantages—don’t ignore yours.
Second, compare your present self with your past self. Instead of looking at others, look at how you’ve changed. 42 Did you get a higher score in the English test than last time Can you now play a simple flute tune that you couldn’t before Progress, no matter how small, is worth celebrating. This way, you’ll feel more confident.
Third, learn from others, don’t copy them. If you see someone with good study habits, like reviewing notes every evening, you can try their method. 43 For example, if your classmate studies for two hours every night, but you feel tired after one hour, adjust the time to fit yourself. The goal is to improve, not to be exactly like them.
Finally, remember that everyone has struggles. What you see on the surface isn’t the whole story. Your classmate who always gets good grades might stay up late studying, and the popular student might feel lonely sometimes. 44 You don’t need to be perfect—just do your best.
Healthy comparison helps you grow. It makes you see your progress, learn from others, and accept who you are. Try these tips, and you’ll find that comparing yourself can be a positive thing.
A. Ask yourself: Have you improved in the past month
B. But you don’t have to follow their way exactly.
C. This can make you lose confidence and feel stressed.
D. Look for things you do well too.
E. Everyone has their own problems that others don’t see.
F. You should always try to be better than your classmates.
G. Compare yourself with the best student in your class.

Why Do Fireflies Glow
If you’ve ever played outside on a summer night, you might have seen small, bright lights flying in the dark—those are fireflies! These little insects don’t just glow for fun; their light has an important job.
First, fireflies glow to talk to each other. Each kind of firefly has its own “light code”: some flash fast three times, others flash slowly once. Male fireflies fly and glow with their code, and female fireflies wait on grass. When a female sees a male with the right code, she glows back to say “I notice you!”
Second, their glow keeps them safe. Fireflies make a chemical in their bodies that tastes bad to birds, frogs, and other animals. The bright light is like a “warning sign”: it tells predators (捕食者), “Don’t eat me—I’m not tasty!”
Scientists call this kind of light “bioluminescence” (生物发光). Fireflies have a special part in their bodies that mixes two chemicals with oxygen. When these things combine, they make light—no heat needed! That’s why firefly light is cool to the touch, unlike a light bulb.
Fireflies are magical to watch, but their numbers are getting smaller because of bright city lights (which hide their glow) and pollution. So next time you see them, remember: their light is not just pretty—it’s their way of living!
1. What is the first reason fireflies glow
2. Why is firefly light cool to the touch
3. What makes fireflies’ numbers get smaller
