We would get out a pan, some oil and butter, and wait for the first popcorn to jump with an exciting sound. Then, we would shake the pan over the stove to prevent (防止) the popcorn from burning-shake, shake, shake, and pop, pop, pop—until the pan was filled with delicious popcorn! Mom would pour it all into a big bowl and add some sugar on top. Later, we would all come to the living room. Dad would sit in his chair, while my mom, brothers, and I would relax on the sofa. Although there was always a lot of popcorn, we could eat it up quickly. And mom even let me eat the half-popped kernels (玉米粒).

It’s the little moments like these that matter most. They’re magical everyday gifts and memories that last forever. So, remember to enjoy these moments and the love that comes with them.

Among them, 38 children are members of the Niuniu Choir (合唱团), from Liangshan, Sichuan Province. Jibu Xiaolong, a music teacher, set up the all-girls choir. One day, while he was playing his guitar and singing a pop song in the playground, a group of children gathered around, singing along with him. He then had an idea — why not set up a choir?

In 2020, the choir became famous after its videos were shared online. Lots of people offered help and later the choir performed on many big stages (舞台). Seeing his students perform at the Spring Festival Gala Jibu Xiaolong had a strong feeling of satisfaction. “We will never forget the experience,” he says.

Passage 10 (24-25·八下·湖南衡阳四校·期末) You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese ? Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions (红楼梦) written by Cao Xueqin (1715-1763). Named as one of China’s Four Great Classics, the book has a far-reaching influence on later writers. Now the book has been made into an English language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan. Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures , including the director and playwrights (剧作家). Their understanding of both cultures helped them change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera. The book , which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heartbreaking story that everyone would understand. The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, China, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes and stage settings. He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin showed up, there was usually water around her on the stage. The creators considered it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to“ have made a contribution (贡献) land where my parents were born”. 1．Where was the English language opera first performed ? A．In Beijing. B．In Changsha. C．In San Francisco, US. 2．How did the team change a classic into a foreign English opera? A．By adding the number of the characters . B．By making the story simple.

I’ve grown up. This book is still one of my favorites. After re-reading the book recently, I have learned an important lesson from the main character, Lemuel Gulliver. In our real world, how do you feel when you are suddenly in a strange and dangerous place? I believe most of us would feel worried and lost. Lemuel Gulliver, however, had a special way to deal with the strange situations (情况) he got into. When Gulliver first woke up on the beach of Lilliput, he saw many little people around him, who were no taller than his finger. At first, he was really scared. The Lilliputians, seeing this huge person, were also afraid and didn’t believe him. They tied him up and thought he might be a threat. But Gulliver didn’t get angry or worried. Instead, he tried to talk with the Lilliputians. He showed them his kindness and goodwill. For example, when the Lilliputians were in danger because a nearby kingdom attacked (袭击) them, Gulliver saved them by pulling the ships away. This story teaches me a useful lesson: In the face of difficulties, we should keep an open mind and be kind.The next time you find yourself in a challenging situation, try to understand the other side, and find things you have in common. By doing so, you may not only solve the problem, but also have new experiences and make good friends.

She was among the first in her village to get higher education. After working in a hotel, she returned home last year. Enshi has always been famous for its breathtaking sights, but Li wants to show how rich the village is in farming, especially potatoes, which grow well here due to good weather and selenium-rich soil (富硒土). When Li returned to her hometown, some villagers questioned her decision. She decided to show she was right with actions. “We often hold meetings at the village square.” Li said. “At these meetings, we talk about potato-growing ways, how to sell potatoes and market news.” Li also started live–streaming (网络直播) on Douyin to sell potatoes. The yearly income (收入) rose from 1,000 to 20,000 yuan. It wasn’t easy because villagers couldn’t accept this new way at first, but Li was patient. She visited villagers and listened to their worries.

And the soldiers (士兵) put some scare-crows (稻草人) in line on the boats. One day in the morning, Zhuge Liang invited Lu Su for a boat ride. The 20 boats were tied (捆) together with the strong ropes. Then they went towards the camp of Cao Cao. It was a foggy (有雾的) day. People could hardly see each other on the river. When Zhuge Liang’s boats got close to the Cao camp in the dark, Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to shout and beat drums heavily to pretend (假装) an attack (攻击) . But Zhuge Liang and Lu Su only sat inside one boat and drank wine to enjoy themselves. As soon as the Cao camp heard the shouting and drum beating, they thought they were attacked by the Zhou Yu camp. They could see nobody on the river, so they had to order 3,000 soldiers to shoot arrows to stop the unexpected attack. When both sides of the scarecrows were full of arrows, the day broke.

Then they went towards the camp of Cao Cao.”和“Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to shout and beat drums heavily to pretend (假装) an attack (攻击)”可知，诸葛亮借箭用到了boats、scarecrows、soldiers、drums，没用到wine，①③④⑤符合。故选C。 4．推理判断题。故事核心是草船借箭，C图呈现船、稻草人等元素，符合情节。故选C。 Passage 5 (24-25·八下·湖南邵阳武冈市·期末) Mr. King lives in a city.

He can never pass the exams.”可知，Mike除了学习什么都喜欢，上课不听老师讲课，从不按时完成作业，一有空就踢足球，所以他从未通过考试是因为他不喜欢学习。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“One day Miss Read, Mike’s teacher, telephones Mr. King. On the telephone she tells him all about the boy’s studies.”可知，Miss Read打电话给Mr. King是为了告诉他Mike的学习情况。故选B。 3．词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“In the afternoon when his son comes back from school, Mr. King gives him a good telling off (责备), but soon feels sorry for it when he sees Mike crying in the bedroom.”可知，下午儿子放学回来时，Mr. King狠狠地责备了他一顿，但当他看到Mike在卧室里哭时，很快就为此感到抱歉。这里的“it”指的是前面提到的“giving him a good telling off (责备他)”。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Another term is over.

But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese ? Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions (红楼梦) written by Cao Xueqin (1715-1763). Named as one of China’s Four Great Classics, the book has a far-reaching influence on later writers. Now the book has been made into an English language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan. Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures , including the director and playwrights (剧作家). Their understanding of both cultures helped them change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera. The book , which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heartbreaking story that everyone would understand. The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, China, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes and stage settings. He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin showed up, there was usually water around her on the stage. The creators considered it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to“ have made a contribution (贡献) land where my parents were born”. 1．Where was the English language opera first performed ? A．In Beijing. B．In Changsha.
