河北省沧州市南皮县2024年中考二模英语试题
Last Sunday, Mark's grandma invited him to her pottery studio (陶器工作室). He was excited, because Grandma didn't give her other grandsons such an invitation.
As soon as Mark stepped into the studio, he began to look forward to putting his hands into some wet clay (粘土) and placing his bowl into the hot kiln (窑). "Be careful with that," Grandma said as Mark picked up one of her bowls. The boy carefully put the bowl back on the table. Then Grandma showed him some of her bowls and asked him to make one himself. Mark started happily.
However, five hours later, Mark was sad. His first bowl, a blue one, looked more like a rock. His second bowl, a red one, was hardly any better. "I'll never make it!" Mark said angrily, looking at his work.
Hearing this, Grandma stopped what she was doing and went to Mark. After seeing what he had made, she said, "Don't worry. You just need to be more patient." She sat next to Mark and helped him with his work. About one and a half hours later, they finished making a beautiful yellow bowl together.
Mark was happy when he looked at his work. "Thanks," he said to Grandma. Grandma looked at him and smiled. "You're great. Remember not to give up easily no matter what you do in the future," she said. Mark said he would follow Grandma's words.
Spring Clean-up Day, Rockland It's the best way to welcome spring and to help to clean up the town we all live in! Here in Rockland we have a Spring Clean-up Day every year in May. Spring Clean-up Day this year will be on May 20th. It will start with a town clean-up at 8 o'clock in the morning, and a tree planting activity in Rockland Park is to follow in the afternoon. One thousand young trees are sure to make it greener and prettier. We will divide the people coming to help into eight teams for eight different areas. As usual, we will provide gloves, rubbish bags and other cleaning tools. You will also get free lunches and T-shirts when the clean-up ends at noon. We are going to have a competition to see which team can pick up the most rubbish. Bring your kids with you. It is a great chance to teach them to care about the environment around us. We have free drinks and chocolate candies for the children. Two places to meet: At the gate of Rockland Park, or at the corner of Palace Street and North Street. Sign-up (报名): Call 5862397 on weekdays, or visit our website below any time you like. www.springcleanup.com |
