2026年新课程课堂同步练习册八年级英语下册外研版第30页答案
Ⅱ. 阅读下面的材料,根据其内容按要求完成任务。
Marcus grew up in a poor family. His life was not easy. From an early age, he learned
that every hardship was an opportunity to build character. He had many problems. He had
money problems, did poorly in school, and often felt hopeless.
But Marcus never gave up. When he faced difficulties, he found he was stronger than he
thought. He studied very hard every day. He even read books under a weak light. He learned
something important from every failure: failure was not the end, but a step to a better future.
Small successes made him happy and gave him hope, like passing an exam well or getting
a kind word from a teacher. He came to know that true strength is not about avoiding pain,
but about getting up every time we fall down.
Later, in high school and college, he began to understand that his hard past helped him
become stronger. He joined different clubs and volunteer groups, wanting to share his story
and learn from others. He worked so hard that he won scholarships and prizes.
Now, Marcus helps young students in his community. He tells them, "Don't be afraid of
challenges. See them as chances to learn and grow." His story teaches us that we build our
strength by going through tough times. Remember, when we bravely face our problems, we
can create a better future.
