辽宁省铁岭市铁岭县莲花第一初级中学2024年中考学业水平考试英语模拟试卷
My wife's birthday falls at the beginning of spring. On that day, I came home from work, stopped her from entering the kitchen and asked her to eat out. "Has Lily called?" she asked. I shook my head. The atmosphere(气氛) at the dinner was oppressive. My wife kept glancing at her phone, showing no signs of appetite( 胃口 ).
Early the next morning, my wife got up, dark rings around her eyes. We only have one child. When Lily still lived at home, every year we would start the grand preparations days in advance for her birthday. And after she left for college, my wife would call her from time to time. How could she ignore(忽视) all our love and forget her mum's birthday? On the way to work, I texted Lily, "Your mum didn't sleep well last night."
The next day, we were about to have dinner when there was a sound of a key rattling in the lock. In came our daughter, face red with cold, a birthday cake in her hand. "Sorry, mum. Happy birthday to you!" she said, tears welling up. Immediately, my wife pulled Lily into a hug, complaining (责备）"You silly girl, why do you come all the way back at such a time? Don't you know it is cold inside?"
Lily just stayed two hours in care of missing her classes. Seeing Lily boarding the train, my wife started blaming me for that message, yet in a better mood. I did feel I handled this matter perfectly both for my wife and my child's growth.
Later, I called my parents and told them about it. I never thought they would respond with a long silence, and then said,"How many times have you forgotten our birthdays? Has either of us ever complained?"
Along the way to 2024, there is one word left in my heart－Belief(信念). Our school was going to hold an art festival. Every class was actively preparing for it. However, our class didn't know what to perform at first. After discussion, in the end we decided to sing the song Five thousand years of China to show our love to our country. We practiced hard together after school. After five times' practice, some students still couldn't remember the words. Our head teacher patiently told us that the most important thing for us was "belief". Then she came up with an idea. She divided us into small groups. Then the person who could sing well taught the others. Slowly, it began to work. We were full of hope for the festival. The day arrived. We had never took part in such activities before, so we were kind of nervous. Our head teacher seemed to read our minds and she gave us some suggestions to make us feel relaxed. But when we stood in front of hundreds of people, we still felt nervous. We all tried to control ourselves because there was a belief in our hearts. When we started to sing, the head teacher looked at us with a smile. This made all of us no longer feel nervous. We succeeded in singing the song. As it was over, we got exciting cheers. Through this experience, I understood the importance of working together and I loved it very much. |
