（2025·湖北武汉·模拟预测）When I was a boy, my mom would often let me help her make popcorn to eat while we watched TV. Mom made it in the traditional way.
She would take out an iron frying pan and light the stove (炉子) under it. Then she would pour in a little oil and add a piece of butter. Next she would bring out a big handful of corn from the bag. Together we would wait until we heard the first popping. Then she would hold the pan with a cover and shake them over the fire to keep the popcorn from burning. Shake, shake, shake and pop, pop, pop until the pan was full to overflowing (溢出). Finally, Mom would empty all the popcorn into a huge bowl and shake salt over it.
After this we would all sit down in the living room, with Dad in his rocking chair, Nana in a chair by the stove, and Mom, my brothers and I on the sofa. There was always enough popcorn for everyone and I even ate the corn grains that didn’t quite finish popping.

（2025·湖北襄阳·二模）At breakfast, Sarah saw her mother wearing overalls (工装). That meant that she was planning to work in the garden.
“What are you planting today ” asked Sarah.
“Today I will plant carrots,” answered Sarah’s mother. “Would you like to help ”
Sarah was happy. She wanted to learn more about how her mother made vegetables grow.
In the garden, Sarah’s mother used a stick to make a line in the soil. “This is called a furrow (犁沟),” she said. “It can be used to hold the seeds (种子).”
Sarah used the stick to draw a line near her mother’s furrow.
“Now I will plant the seeds in a long row in the furrow,” Sarah’s mother said. She carefully opened a bag of seeds and put the tiny seeds in a line.

Clear a Path (小径) to the Door My grandmother told me to “clear a path to the door every night before bed.” It makes it easier for us to run away if there’s a fire in the night.

Some day you might have to eat them.” Thirty years later, I still hear his voice encouraging me to be patient and to pay more attention to the way I speak.

（2025·湖北武汉·三模）For Emma, PE class was the most difficult part. She didn’t mind the tiredness but the looks her classmates gave her. Emma was bigger than others of her age. A group of students often ran behind her, laughing and talking about how Emma ran.
“Just one more year,” Emma kept telling herself, “One more year and I’ll graduate and won’t have to take this stupid PE class anymore.”

（2025·湖北武汉·模拟预测）Chalk is something you probably see and even use every day. But have you ever thought about turning it into carved (雕刻的) artwork using just a compass (圆规)
Shen Sihao, 31, started doing this in high school. Growing up in Luoyang, Shen often used his compass to carve chalk into miniature versions (微缩版本) of cultural relics (文物) and ancient buildings he saw in history books or around Luoyang. “It’s a shame that I didn’t have much time back then to do it more,” Shen reflected.
After getting a job at an internet company in Beijing, Shen had free time, so he decided to realize his childhood dream. Since 2024, he had been sharing videos through his account Trifle in Break Time showing off his chalk carvings. And it has found a large following on Bilibili, especially among students.
For Shen, the process of carving is just as fascinating as the end product. “Only by carving can I fully understand the structure, details and secrets of cultural relics,” Shen said. For example, while carving an ancient soldier, he studied a photo closely and realized that it looked a lot like Ultraman (奥特曼) “Maybe the design of Ultraman was inspired by an ancient Chinese soldier!” he said.
To Shen, carving chalk not only helps him learn more about history and culture but has also taught him patience. “I often accidentally break my work when it’s almost done,” Shen said. “Patience and perseverance (毅力) are the key. It’s the same with life. When you rush or try too hard, it’s easy to break things.”

（2024·湖北武汉·中考真题）The silence of the pond (池塘) was broken by the first cry: “Found something!” A swimmer ducked (扎入) into the water with a lifeline connected to a boat. Soon, she appeared, holding a bright blue glass bottle. It was passed to another, then into the boat.
On a fine Sunday morning in May, a team of 10 women over 65 years old, known as the Old Women Against Underwater Rubbish (OWAUR), looked for rubbish across Nova Pond in Scotia.
When the team returned, they joked about the trip. “We didn’t even know what it was,” one swimmer said with a laugh, showing an electronic lighter they had found. “We had to ask a young person.”
Part protection organization, part social club, OWAUR only accepted old women as its members. To improve the conditions of the ponds, the group made it its mission to take rubbish away from them. The idea of this group was from a moment of Sandy, a retired (退休的) reporter. As a lifelong nature lover, she liked swimming in ponds. However, the world of the pond, which was a little polluted, made her anxious. Then she came up with a slogan (标语):
“OVER 65, IF YOU’RE HEALTHY ENOUGH, IS THE AGE OF ACTION.”
Soon many people joined her. They found a sense of wonder at the pond cleanup moments. And their team could do a lot more than people might think.

（2023·湖北十堰·中考真题）I have an 11-year-old son named Peter. I knew that playing sports would be good to our son. He would get some exercise, learn about teamwork and learn some physical skills. We continually encouraged him to have a try, but after a while it was clear that he didn’t like team sports, and there was nothing we could do to change it.
We decided not to push him to take part in sports, even though most of his friends did sports. As time went by, we gradually realized that we had made the right decision. Don’t misunderstand (误解) me. I have nothing against sports. Now my son isn’t interested in sports, but I’m not pushing him to do sports. Here are the reasons:
I want him to know I accept him unconditionally. I don’t even want Peter to feel that I will love him only if he behaves in a certain way or takes part in some activities. Whether he succeeds or fails, he will always be my son, and that will never change.
I want him to form his own path (道路) in life. His path doesn’t have to be the same as mine. In fact, we both have similar interests in several areas like music, computers and Star Wars, but we’re also different in many ways. Peter needs to be free to go his own path.
I want him to know that I don’t judge (判断) my worth by his achievements. Every father will feel proud of his son if he can make great achievements. So most parents always push them so hard. Sometimes we have seen ourselves indirectly through our own sons. Their achievements remind us of our wonderful days in the past. We must make sure we don’t want to make up for (弥补) our own regrets by pushing our sons to climb higher and go further than we did.

“Who is he ” I asked, very frightened.
“This is my dog Lucky,” he replied. “Shall we make a deal I will give you football match tickets if you can help me watch Lucky for two hours.”

（2025·湖北武汉·模拟预测）The biggest weakness (弱点) of human nature is not treasuring what we have. We always think the grass is greener elsewhere. Instead of paying attention to modern-day problems,we should be thankful for what we have and who we are.
Last week, my washing machine stopped working and wouldn’t wash my clothes. I tried to fix it by searching online, but the repairs were too expensive. Then this week, my daughter’s older washing machine also broke down. I tried to fix it myself, but it couldn’t be repaired. Unluckily, now I had to buy two new machines.
But then, an old childhood memory came back to me. I remembered watching my grandma use an old-fashioned washing machine to wash my dirty clothes. This machine didn’t have a spin cycle (甩干模式), so Grandma would squeeze out every drop of water from each piece of clothing through a pair of rollers (滚筒). After washing the clothes, Grandma would pat (轻拍) the machine lovingly before hanging them outside on the clothesline to dry. She grew up washing clothes by hand, so having a machine that did most of the work brought her joy.
Thinking back on this memory made me realize something important. I have more good things than my grandma had when she was young. It’s easy to get caught up in our own world, but remembering where we came from and how far we’ve come can help us appreciate (感激) what we have today. Maybe someday we’ll look back on these as the “good old days” too. We should take a moment to appreciate the little things in life, whether it’s a warm cup of tea or the sound of birds singing in the morning. It’s the simple things that make life worth living.

（2025·湖北·三模）Many years ago, I had a service station and a roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.
One very cold, wet night at about 3:30 am, there was a knock on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from head to feet, explained that he had run out of petrol (汽油). He had left his pregnant (怀孕的) wife and his two children behind at the car and said that he would hitchhike (搭便车) back.
After I had filled a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both crying, saying that they were cold. When the car started, I suggested that they should follow me back.
Before leaving, I had turned the heater on in my roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and warm. While the little ones played and ran around, I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for the adults. It was about 5:00 am when they left with many thanks.
About a month later, I received a letter from a large bus company that we had been trying to get to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time. It turned out that the young man I had helped was its head, the most powerful person in the company.
In his letter, he thanked me again and told me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station. In this case, a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.
