第14课时 九年级 Units 3～4
一、阅读理解
(2018·山东德州中考)When I was a child, I was a tomboy(假小子). I had a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. My brothers were two and four years older than I. We often played games together.
Once, my brothers and I fell in love with playing a game called “stealing horses”. Then my parents decided to buy my brothers guns. These were not “real” guns. Because I was a girl, I didn't get a gun. They shot and shot at everything with their new guns. I tried to “fight” them with my bow and arrows(弓和箭). But I was still in the poor position without a gun.
One day while I was hiding behind a wall, looking out toward the fields, I felt a terrible blow to my right eye. I looked up just in time to see my brother lower his gun. Both brothers rushed to my side. My eye felt great pain and I covered it with my hand. “If you tell that to Mummy，” they said, “We will get a whipping(鞭打) from Daddy. You don't want that to happen, do you？” I did not. “Here is a piece of wire(电线)，” said the older brother, picking it up from the floor, “Say you stepped on one end of it and the other flew up and hit you.” “Yes，” I said. To be honest, I didn't want them to be punished. So I did as my brothers told me to do.
A week after the “accident” my parents took me to see a doctor. Finally I knew my brothers were worried about my eye, so they told our parents what had happened and asked them to take me to see a doctor.

四、阅读表达
阅读短文，根据要求完成文后的题目。
(2019·预测)Does this situation sound familiar(熟悉的)?
You are complaining(抱怨) to your parents about something. Maybe your computer isn't powerful enough to play the latest games. Or your friends' bikes are better than yours! Then you hear, “When I was your age, there weren't any computers or video games. And I didn't get a bike until I was sixteen. And it was secondhand, and it was too big for me.”
So, is it really true that life is better for teenagers now? It is certainly true that many teenagers have got more things nowadays. A typical family is smaller now. So parents have got more money to spend on each child. And many things are cheaper than they were when our parents were children.
Technology is probably the greatest change in our life. Forty years ago, no one could imagine a world with tiny computers and amazing smart phones. And now these things are necessary. We can't imagine living without them!
However, technology often means we spend more time at home. And often it's just us, with our computer or television. Teenagers don't do enough exercise. So they aren't as healthy as they were in the past. And, although young people still get on well with their friends, some people think teenagers today don't have so many social activities as they did in the past.
What do you think? How is teenage life better these days?

五、 Last weekend, we had a great time. At first, I got together with Li Ming, Wang Hua and Li Bo to have a discussion on what to do on the weekend. Different people have different opinions. Some advised going to sing Karaoke songs to have fun, and others suggested going boating on the sea. Finally we decided to go climbing and have a picnic in the open air. We started early on Saturday morning and reached the top of the mountain at noon. We had a picnic and talked happily. After that we picked up the rubbish and threw it into the dustbin. As is known to us all, it's everyone's duty to protect the environment. Although we were all tired, we were very happy.
Oh, what an unforgettable day!
