江西省赣州市石城县2020年八年级下学期英语能力竞赛试卷（含完整音频）
I was running a few errands (差事)in my car the other day. The sun was out，the radio was playing a joyful song, I was singing along. Then it happened, however, The sweet sound of the music ended and the news break began.
I drove on while the news started. Gas prices were getting high again. The race for the presidency (总统大选) was getting much tighter. Fights broke out when the fans of a sports team went wild while celebrating their team's win.
Finally I could take no more and turned off the radio. Silence seemed preferable to listening to anything else about the crazy and competitive world others all the time we live in. I slowed down as I entered a local town and watched the people as I drove by.
A man was helping an elderly lady out of a car and helping her walk into a store. A smiling woman was feeding a dozen birds in her backyard。A young man was walking along ,carrying his 2-year-old daughter safely He tickled (胳肢) her gently when she pulled the hat off his head and they both laughed. I laughed too as I looked at all of this kindness. Although the music was off, I felt my heart singing.
In truth, this world could use a little more kindness and a lot less competition. Kindness makes us all winners in life and shows us that we don't have to beat others all the time.
