吉林省2024年中考英语真题
When I was a little boy, I lived next to David. He liked to plant trees in his large yard on weekends. But the way he planted trees was quite different. He never watered his new trees. I asked him why he did so, and he said that watering trees would spoil them. "If you water the trees, each baby tree will grow weaker and weaker." said David. He told me that watering these new trees would make roots (树根) shallow (浅), but deep roots were very important for trees. I didn't understand his words at that time.
Several years after I left home, I came back to visit my parents. When I walked by David's house, I saw the trees that he planted. They are strong now. I suddenly realize that planting a tree is like raising a child. As a father of two children, I shouldn't care for them too much. Instead, they should depend on themselves. In that case, whatever happens, they can make their own decisions.

Posted by Gina at 8:32 a.m.on 11th February 2021 New Uses for Old Clothing Nowadays, we're more wasteful than ever—buying, using and throwing things away without thinking about the costs. We need to start living more responsibly—but how? One answer is to upcycle(升级利用).
If you're like me, you might already make soil for gardening from food waste and use empty paper boxes as storage space. Did you know you can apply the same way to old clothing? You just need imagination! I started upcycling clothing. Making new things out of old clothes is the best way to mix my talent and my interest. Do you upcycle? If so, what new things have you made? If not, why not give it a try? | |
TerryB Posted at 9:08 a.m.on 11th February 2021 Reply Why don't you give your old clothes to people in need? I even give away the most expensive things I don't wear anymore. So I can help the environment while giving something useful to people in need. Gina Posted at 9:28 a.m.on 11th February 2021Reply Good point! I'm talking about only the oldest clothing in your room—the clothes that are too old to be worn by others. The same idea goes for food waste at restaurants and supermarkets. Before upcycling food that can still be eaten, for example, using it to make soil, we should give it to those in need. | |
Betty99 Posted at 10:18 a.m,on 1lth February 2021Reply I've made shopping bags out of T-shirts and dog toys out of socks. Upcycling clothing is a fun hobby, but the most important thing is that it makes me feel like I'm living less wastefully. |
