石嘴山2024-2025学年第一学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初三英语

1、   As the world is trying hard to fight COVID-19, how do we protect ourselves from the virus? The most important thing is to keep in good health. So do you have good hygiene (卫生) habits? 1. As far as we know, people’s health is closely connected with their hygiene habits in their everyday life. Under the influence of COVID-19, health experts are reminding people to wash their hands properly.

2. Although some may fail to notice this daily habit, hand washing actually has a long history. More than 2,500 hundred years ago, Chinese people had to wash their hands before taking part in ceremonies (仪式) and follow some strict rules.

In the 19th century, 3. 医生们发现洗手对他们的病人有帮助。The habit quickly became common among doctors and nurses, and later the public.

4. Also, more attention should be paid to a healthy dining habit. In the West, it is more culturally proper to eat your own meals. However, people in the East are exactly the opposite. For them, eating a meal alone is very impolite during social meetings. Instead of eating alone, they like eating common dishes. 5. 这是一种表达他们友好和温暖的常见方式。Some even share their utensils (餐具), which is risky. According to the WHO, saliva (唾液) is quite easy to spread illnesses through air.

Developing good hygiene habits can help people stay healthy. So why not start by washing your hands often and eating alone?

Entertainment

No trip to Madrid is complete without seeing a performance of Spain’s famous art form, flamenco. Every day flamenco performers sing, dance or play the guitar in small cafes and grand theaters.
