(2024·重庆市巴蜀中学校高三高考适应性月考)It was my sixthgrade year. I was overjoyed when the US Navy band came to perform in our town. It was an event I'd never forget, and one instrument stood out above all others. That day, at 12 years old, I fell in love with the heavenly sound that came from the trumpets (小号), and a dream was born. Someday, I wanted to join a military band onstage as a guest performer.
My father took notice of my enthusiasm and bought me a used trumpet. I practiced every day, training my lips, mastering my breathing, until I felt at one with the instrument. I made first chair and played trumpet through high school. “Someday I'll play along with a military band,” I told my friends. The details I left to God to figure out, while I pursued a more practical life course. Rather than declaring a performance major in college, I studied to be a music teacher.
Now I was blessed to be at this military band concert, a magical afternoon that had brought with it a trip down memory lane.
After the concert, I made my way to the stage to thank Colonel (上校) Carino, the conductor of the military band. When he learned I taught music in town and played trumpet, he invited me to play a trumpet solo (独奏) at their next concert in the park.
A solo? I couldn't remember the last time I'd taken my trumpet out of its case. I doubted I'd even be able to get a decent note out of it. “Sir, that's impossible. I'm sorry, but there's no way.”
“In the Army,” the colonel thundered, “you don't say no!”
I felt scared and trapped. Yet, a lingering thought took root:“Is it possible that life is opening the door to my childhood dream?” I said yes to the invitation. I knew I had to do my part and practiced for hours every day. My lips swelled and then bled.

As time passed, Colonel Carino took an unexpected role in my preparation. Sensing my anxiety, he made a thoughtful adjustment to the original plan. Rather than facing the solo challenge, I would have Manuel, an accomplished trumpet player, as my partner. Every evening after the band's practice, Colonel Carino arranged for Manuel to tutor me. Under his supervision and with Manuel's expertise, I revisited fundamental techniques and honed the skills I'd neglected. Colonel Carino's unique combination of discipline and empathy gradually restored my confidence. With each session, I felt more inspired to push beyond my boundaries. Before I knew it, the concert day arrived.
I stood on stage next to Manuel, my performance partner. The spotlights cast a warm glow around us, and the atmosphere was charged with anticipation. As the first notes flowed from our trumpets, all my nerves vanished. Together, Manuel and I played in harmony. Surprisingly, I played better than I had during my best practices. As we finished our performance, the crowd leapt to their feet, showering us with applause. Meeting Colonel Carino's proud gaze, I was overwhelmed with gratitude. My childhood dream had been realized. Not only had I performed with a military band, but I had also forged memories that I would cherish forever.

(2023·福建省三明市高三期末质量检测)Arshad had been out window shopping with his parents. That was all they did these days because they didn't have enough money to afford all the shiny clothes, shoes and other fancy items the windows displayed. Even from a distance, they looked so promising and inviting that one couldn't help but go over and look at them.
Ever since Arshad's father lost his business, Arshad's family barely had the money to make ends meet. They even had to move to a rented house, which was smaller and was situated in the shabbier part of the city. Unlike his previous house, where he had a big luxurious room all to himself, here Arshad had to share his room and bed with his naughty younger brother who always had the room in a horrible mess.
What was worse, the playground in this neighborhood was nothing like the one in his previous neighborhood's; swings were all broken and the seesaw (跷跷板) only had one seat. There weren't even any bookshops nearby where he could spend his free time.
That day, Arshad and his brother were terribly bored when their father decided to take them out for window shopping. When his father saw the sad look on Arshad's face, he sat down next to him and said, “Remember, there are children out there who don't even have the things you do, like warm clothes, a roof over their heads, good education and all the delicious meals that your mother prepares for you, three times a day. You should always be grateful for what you have.”

Arshad remembered how he always complained about the swings in his playground.
Thinking of the happy children in that school, Arshad decided to do something.
写前导读:本文是一篇记叙文。Arshad (阿尔沙德)在爸爸生意失败之后,对生活环境的转变感到无法接受。但爸爸告诉他,要学会感恩。后来Arshad到一所公立中学读书,即使设施很差,里面的孩子们依然很开心,此时Arshad感悟到了什么?接下来他又做了什么?
[精彩范文]
Arshad remembered how he always complained about the swings in his playground. He felt a rush of guilt. At least he had a playground! Despite all these things, Arshad noticed how happy and satisfied all the children were. How they played and laughed, without a single frowning face or a complaining voice. On their way back from the school, Arshad's father said, “This is what I was talking about.”
Thinking of the happy children in that school, Arshad decided to do something. He prepared a gratitude list, jotting down all the things he was thankful for. Then he pulled out an empty cardboard box and put in all the things that he thought the children in that school might need—coloring books, toys and other such goods. When his mother asked about the box, he told her how he planned to donate these things. “I am sharing happiness,” he told his mother, his face beaming.
