广西2024年初中中考第一次模拟考试英语试题
It was a cold, rainy day. My father and I drove to a hill. It was dangerous to make a two-hour trip along the highway in such weather. I didn't want to go, but my father asked me to go to see something at the top of the hill.
After driving for a long time, we stopped the car at the foot of the hill and got out. Walking along a path, we turned at a corner. When we got to the top of the hill, I saw many flowers there, like a carpet(地毯)before us.
A lot of questions came to my mind. Who planted these beautiful flowers? How? When?
As we went on, we saw a sign with words on it, "Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking. "
The first answer was, "One Woman—Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain". The second was, "One at a Time". The third, "Started in 1973. "
On our way home, I was so shocked by what we had seen. The woman changed the world. One bulb(一株) at a time. She started about 50 years ago. It might be just the start of an idea, but she kept at it. I thought to myself, "If I had a dream and worked hard on it, just a little every day, what could I get?" And then, I told my father, "I will start tomorrow. "
My father looked at me smiling. "____ !" he said.
