For me, dinner is not just a meal, but a chance to reconnect with each other. I finally realize the true meaning of this tradition. It’s not about the dinners or activities. It’s about family, a group of people who care about each other. All the memories (记忆) around my grandma’s dinner table will last forever.

He was crazy about baseball, especially the New York Giants. The only thing he remembers about attending his first major league baseball game is that he saw his hero Willie Mays after the game. The young Auster gathered his courage and went close to his hero. “Mr. Mays,” he said, “could I please have your autograph (签名)?”“Sure, kid, sure,” Mays replied kindly. “Have you got a pencil?”Auster didn’t have a pencil on him, neither did his father or his mother or anyone else in his group.Mays waited patiently, but when it became clear that no one present had anything to write with, he said, “Sorry, kid. We’ve got no pencil. I can’t give you my autograph.”From that day on, Auster made it a habit to never leave the house without a pencil in his pocket. “It’s not that I had any special plans for that pencil,” Auster writes, “but I didn’t want to be unprepared. I had been caught empty-handed once, and I wasn’t about to let it happen again. The years have taught me this: If there’s a pencil in your pocket, there’s a good chance that one day you’ll feel like starting to use it. That’s how I became a writer.”What is your pencil? What is so important that without it you feel unprepared? I know some cartoonists always carry pen and paper and some photographers always have a camera in their pockets. They are always prepared.Pick your “pencil” and don’t leave home without it.4．To get Willie Mays’ autograph, what did Auster need? 5．What habit did Auster form after that day? 6．What do you think of Auster’s habit? Why do you think so? （2024江苏扬州中考真题）阅读短文，回答下面5个问题，将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。（每题答案不超过10 个词）A total of 23 spotted seals (斑海豹) were put back into the waters off the coast of Dalian in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province on Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2023 as part of China’s continuous efforts to protect endangered wildlife.The seals were hunted and sold, but have now been saved and marked for future protection. A fishery law enforcement ship arrived at the sea area near Dalian in the morning, carrying the spotted seals. The seals were let go free one by one into the sea. They swam freely in the water, returning to their natural home.Spotted seals are nationally protected animals in China. They are the only kind of seals that can breed (繁殖) in Chinese waters. Like migratory (迁徙的) birds, they appear around October every year in Liaodong Bay, and take the long journey back to the Northwest Pacific in May after breeding. They are often considered as the “panda of the sea”.Thanks to China’s top-class national protection in recent years, the population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2,000, while the global population is between 400,000 and 600,000. Studies have shown that these 2,000 spotted seals are of great importance for the study and research on spotted seals.To protect this rare animal and its ecological environment, the Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands were set up in 1992. In January 2002, they were included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance. Covering an area of 560,000 hectares with a coastline of about 370 kilometers, the wetlands are rich in biological resources. They have become home to nationally protected animals such as the spotted seal, finless porpoise, killer whales, false killer whales, common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and East Asian river dolphins.Since 1992, researchers in Dalian have successfully saved 388 spotted seals and put 299 of them back into the wild.7．Where were the 23 spotted seals put back into the sea? 8．What is the other name of the spotted seal? 9．With China’s protection, what has happened to the spotted seals in Chinese waters? 10．What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to (指的是)? 11．As a student, what can you do to protect wildlife? （2024山东滨州中考真题）阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。From September to February each year, Dazhong Mountain in Chuxiong, Yunnan is home to more than 50,000,000 migratory birds (候鸟).

A dentist can use X-rays to look at teeth. And airport workers use an X-ray machine to check objects before a plane leaves. Nowadays, X-ray technology is widely used in medicine and other fields.X-rays were first discovered by a German scientist, Wilhelm Conrad Rntgen (1845 –1923). He found them quite by accident in 1895. One day, he discovered that an unknown kind of radiation (放射线) could hardly pass through hard objects like bones (骨头). Later, Rntgen took a photo of his wife’s hand. It clearly showed her ring and her bones. That was the first X-ray photo in the world.Why is there an “X” in the word X-ray? It’s because Rntgen couldn’t explain exactly how it worked. He just knew that X-rays were new and useful for science. In fact, X-rays soon became an important tool in medicine. With the help of X-rays, doctors could see inside the human body for the first time without surgery (外科手术).Rntgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize (诺贝尔奖) in physics in 1901 for his discovery. When he was asked what he was thinking at the moment of discovery, he replied, “I didn’t think, I investigated (研究).” Rntgen gave away his Nobel Prize money to his university. And he never took out any patents (专利权) on X-rays, to make sure that the world could freely make use of his discovery.27．Where is X-ray technology used? 28．When were X-rays discovered? 29．Whose hand was in the first X-ray photo? 30．Why did Rntgen name the ray “X-ray”? 31．What do you think of Rntgen? And why? （2024内蒙古赤峰中考真题）根据短文内容回答问题。In 223 BC Meng Tian (蒙恬) led the army in a war against the Chu Kingdom. In those days, people wrote on silk with a kind of stick pen.

Perhaps you choose to practice football skills; you would prefer to discuss something together; and you might just read. This is the most important thing of “unschooling”. It is also known as “natural learning” or “independent learning”.For this kind of educational practice, people think differently. Here are their comments (意见).Know MoreSchooling is education that children receive at school.Home schooling is the practice of educating that children learn at home with a parent or a tutor.Unschooling is an educational practice that allows children to decide how, what and where they want to learn.AgreeIndependent learning teaches children to be responsible for themselves. With no teacher around, children must manage themselves, and this is a really important skill for later life.Unschooling allows children to learn what they are really interested in. If learning is enjoyable, it’s more successful.Very young children learn in a natural way. Without being taught, they know colors and voices, they learn smiling and walking. Why shouldn’t people continue to learn like this?Unschooling gives children more time for sports, volunteering and museum or park visits. They may meet different people who share their interests.DisagreeUnschooling requires parents’ support and attention. They need to create a learning space that excites children and remind them of their daily routines.Teachers can push children to learn what they don’t enjoy but can be important later in life.Unschooling sounds too good to be true. It can be helpful when children are very young. But it puts too much pressure on children because they can learn difficult subjects easily only with teachers’ help.Unschooling happens at home, so children could have less contact with others at their age. This means they could end up becoming shy.When deciding how you are going to learn, it’s necessary to think about which works. Choose what is suitable for you and what can have a positive influence on your growth.67．What is the most important thing of unschooling? 68．Whose support and attention do children need when they experience unschooling? 69．How can children become successful in learning? 70．Why are children under too much pressure from unschooling? 71．If possible, what kind of educational practice would you like to choose? Why? （2024重庆中考真题）阅读下文并回答问题。Liang Qichao educated his own children well. He set a good example for them and often communicated with them.

It is the Year of the Rabbit this year. Because rabbits are gentle and smart, they are very popular with people from all over the world. In China, rabbits are considered to be a lucky sign. That’s because rabbits can have many babies in the nature, even in terrible conditions. In the past, people thought the more children they had, the better their life would be. The rabbit can make people think of the moon. Ancient Chinese people believed a rabbit was living on the moon. It is called the Moon Rabbit and helps Chang’e, a goddess who is widely known in China, to make medicine. Similarly, rabbits are seen to be lucky in Western culture.

Can you imagine yourself living a month, or even a year without checking your mobile phone from time to time? As a busy modern person with lots of social connections, plans and responsibilities, I just cannot afford to not be in touch with the rest of the world. Staying connected to other people is a big part of my life. However, sometimes it can be bothersome (恼人的). One day I discovered I was terribly tired out. I tried turning notifications (通知) off. But the fear of missing out something important made me check the phone more often than before. So, I simply stopped using my phone. Well, to tell the truth, it was not simple at all. For the first couple of days, I had a big fear that all of my friends would soon forget about me. When I had a free moment, I had no idea what to get myself distracted (分心的) with, and the worries mixed with boredom kept bothering me. However, after three weeks without a mobile phone, I started noticing changes — changes which I liked, and which drove me to not just continue the experiment, but in fact to reorganize some of my habits. First of all, I noticed that I became much more focused (专注的). Before, while doing something, I would often find myself wondering what was going on online. After a month of staying away from my mobile phone, I found that the urge (冲动) was already not that strong and that my ability to focus improved. I discovered that the world is a beautiful place. Before, I would look at it through my camera mostly: take a photo, post it, get some likes. Now, I saw beautiful people walking around and I sensed the seasons change. I could understand the actual beauty of the world, and I did not need anyone else to prove the value of this beauty through likes or shares. Now, as 100 days have passed, I can say that the experiment was worth it. I am planning to stay away from my phone for as long as possible.16．What made the writer check the phone more often than before? 17．When did the writer start noticing his changes? 18．What does the writer plan to do with his phone after the experiment? 19．Would you like to follow the writer’s example? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.) （2023辽宁抚顺统考中考真题）阅读下面短文，简略回答所提出的问题。Zengzi, also called Zeng Shen, became a good student of Confucius（孔子）when he was 16.Early one morning, Zengzi’s wife left for the market.

In ancient China, the school entrance ceremony(入学典礼) was one of the most important ceremonies.Children began school between the ages of 4—7 in ancient China. Since there was no certain time to begin a new term at that time, the most important thing for parents was to choose a lucky day for their children to enter school. Next, parents would prepare some school things for their children, including desks, chairs and four treasures of the study.In ancient times, teachers were usually very knowledgeable local persons. Parents would prepare many gifts, and then write a letter of invitation to ask a knowledgeable man to be their children’s teacher.On the day their children entered school, parents would take them to take part in the First Writing Ceremony. Before that, children would kowtow(叩头) to the statue of Confucius(孔子像) 9 times and then to their teacher 3 times to show their deep respect(尊敬). During the ceremony, the teacher would put a red point on the students’ forehead(前额) as it meant opening the wisdom eye. Children would also ring a certain bell to start a new term. After that, they could finally sit down in their seats and begin to study. The First Writing Ceremony was a very important ceremony for every student.Every day, students would arrive at school earlier than their teacher, and kowtow to the statue of Confucius, and then go back to the seats. Usually the teacher would give every student a new name, which was used for future Imperial Examination(科举考试) .Today, some schools are starting to hold an entrance ceremony like they did in ancient times.

They took pictures of one another with the high-rise buildings in the background. Like many other tourists, they didn’t realize that high in a nearby tree, there was something more worthy of attention: an eagle-owl (雕鸮) named Flaco. Earlier that month, the bird Flaco made his great escape (逃跑) from the Central Park Zoo. The zookeepers then tried several times to catch him but were unsuccessful. He seemed to be in no hurry to return to the zoo. Olga Torrey, a photographer, has been photographing animals in city parks for 12 years. Since Flaco escaped, Torrey has kept a close eye on him. She wondered if he would ever return to the zoo. “Once he gets a taste of freedom, I’m not sure...” she said. Still, each day spent outside puts Flaco in danger. He might accidentally hit windows and get injured (受伤) while flying. Moreover, the eagle-owl lived his whole life in the zoo in the past. He may not be used to finding food on his own. And if he made a meal of a rat (耗子), it might harm his health—the rat might contain poison (含有毒物). The zoo has had the workers carefully watch Flaco all the time, as they are worried about his safety. Has Flaco eaten anything today? Has he got injured today?Well, another day of watching has now begun.75．Where did Flaco escape from? 76．What is Olga Torrey’s job? 77．If Flaco made a meal of a rat, what might happen to him? 78．Why do the zoo workers keep watching Flaco carefully? 79．Should we get Flaco back to the zoo?

Flood water from the mountains flowed (流动) down the Minjiang River and covered the land. Luckily, the Qin governor (太守), Li Bing, was a water engineer. The king of Qin provided the money and asked the governor to solve the problem.The usual method to avoid flooding is to build a wall across the river, called a dam. Special openings in the dam allow the flow of water to be controlled. However, the king had also asked Li Bing to make sure that ships could still use the river. This was necessary because the king needed to send food to his army. So Li Bing studied the situation and came up with a plan—a plan that still works today!Helped by his son, and tens of thousands of workers from the area, Li Bing built a man-made island in the middle of the river. This island was shaped like a fish and it divided the water into an inner and an outer river. The inner river was deeper than but not as wide as the outer river. It took four years to build the island.Li Bing also cut a new channel (运河) through Mount Yulei. This channel would take water away to irrigate (灌溉) the land in the flat farmland below. The rock of the mountain was very hard and difficult to cut. Li Bing used fire to heat the rock and then water to cool it quickly. This made the rock break into smaller pieces which could be carried away more easily. Cutting the channel took eight years!After Li Bing’s work was finished, there were no more floods, and the Dujiangyan irrigation system (灌溉系统) allowed the farmers to grow more and more food. The river flowed naturally, and because there was no dam, ships and fish could pass freely. Sichuan became the most productive area in China, as it still is today. Today, scientists and visitors from all over the world come to look at this wonderful example of engineering. This work and the name of Li Bing live on.80．What was Li Bing’s job?（答题词数不超过11个） 81．Why did the king ask Li Bing to make sure that ships could still use the river?（答题词数不超过10个） 82．How long did it take Li Bing to cut a new channel?（答题词数不超过5个） 83．What does the writer think of the Dujiangyan irrigation system?（答题词数不超过12个） （2023湖南株洲统考中考真题）Can you imagine how people on a more than 1200-meter-high mountain in Hunan get their letters and parcels?

I knew they weren’t good friends, and I encouraged all my students to learn to work together.Something blew up! One looked mad, one looked sad, and one was nearly in tears. They didn’t agree with each other. Oh, dear!I calmed them down. But they couldn’t agree on even the base for the volcano, and Tony didn’t want to touch the paste(浆糊). I wondered if I had made a big mistake. Maybe this was one group who couldn’t work together.A Student’s DiaryApril 16Yesterday, Mrs. Holt made us stay behind so we could finish planning our volcano. Anyway, we finally moved ahead with our project.I was making my side smooth. Tony just watched (unfair). I told Lee to smooth out her side, too. “No, Sharla, it should look like a real mountain,” she said just as if she were the boss. The whole thing went downhill. The day ended with no progress.The Show TimeThe last workday for the project came.“Is there a problem?” Mrs. Holt knew well there was a problem. She wanted them to put it in their own words, though. “Well, I think the volcano should be smooth.” Sharla began.“And,” jumped in Lee, “it should look rocky, like a real mountain.”“I see. What do you think, Tony?” Mrs. Holt waited.“Well, I think it would have lava(岩浆) running down.”“Hey, a great idea!” cut in Sharla, “The lava would be smooth. Right Mrs. Holt?”Sharla continued. “The other side without lava would look rocky. Right?”Tony caught on. “So one side can be smooth, and the other rocky. Come on, you guys, let’s go finish!”It was the show time.________10．Did the students agree with each other at first?________________________________________________________________11．Who wrote the student’s diary?________________________________________________________________12．What could the students learn about working together after the project?________________________________________________________________13．What happened next?

It gives learners the chance to get a deeper understanding of a topic. During the learning, learners solve problems by using real-world examples and challenges. Project-based learning is becoming widely used in schools. Students work on a project over a period of time—from a week to a term. At the end of the project, they show their knowledge and skills by creating a product for people. Let’s take the example of Sandra. Sandra is an eleven-year-old student in Sunshine Primary School. She wanted to know more about Greek mythology（希腊神话）. Well, how did she make it? She chose Greek mythology characters as the topic because she was interested in the characters and their stories. Step 1Choose a topic She had to learn about that topic and do some research on it. To collect information, she read books and articles about the history of Greek mythology. She also read some novels like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. She watched videos and played games all connected with Greek mythology. When she collected her information, she was ready to create a project. Step 2Do the research She created a project based on（以……为基础）her talents and skills. She loves to build with Legos（乐高）, so she decided to build lego creations based on the stories of Greek mythology characters. She’s also really good at art, so she created a book about her favorite characters. In her book, she drew pictures of them and wrote the stories in her own words. Step 3________ After all of that work, she made a living room presentation for Mom and Dad and shared the two products that she had created. Then she shared her project online with friends, and even shared her project on social media. Step 4Do the presentationFrom the example of Sandra, we can see that project-based learning allows a student to learn about a topic and then create a project based on his or her talents and skills. Not everyone is a great test taker, but everyone is good at something. Through project work, students can not only learn deeply about a topic, but also have fun learning. So if you’ re interested in something, why not start with project-based learning?14．How do learners solve problems in project-based learning?__________________________________________15．How long does it take students to finish a project?__________________________________________16．What did Sandra do to collect information? （One example is OK. ）__________________________________________17． What is the best subtitle（小标题）of Step 3? __________________________________________18．What were the two products that Sandra created?

However, she has become a Tai Chi master herself, teaching it to both Chinese and foreigners. Oliver’s journey with Tai Chi began in her early 20s, when her backache was always troubling her and she was turning to an exercise.

In the early 1990s, the couple opened their own Tai Chi school in the UK. To further understand Tai Chi, they decided to start a journey to China. However, three years after moving to Shanghai in 2000, her husband died, leaving her alone to work on Tai Chi. The 58-year-old British woman recalled that it was a hard time for her. However, she was thankful to Chinese friends in Shanghai who supported her through the painful process. “They didn't treat me like a foreigner, but rather like a friend.” Oliver said. In 2005, Oliver set up the Double Dragon Alliance Cultural Center, which acts as a bridge for foreign people to get a better understanding of Chinese culture such as traditional Chinese medicine and Peking Opera.

He travelled so that his feet could feel strong winds beat his body; he travelled so that his feet could kiss the soil of the mountains.After his death, Xu left behind his famous book, Xu Xiake’s Travels, which provides meaningful materials to the Chinese geological research. It included a record of what he saw, heard and thought about during his travels and was a personal diary that was not published during his lifetime. It was said that Xu was a filial (孝顺的) son and the beginning purpose of his travel diary was to allow his mother to travel the world through his eyes at home.

It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own. People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look similar to other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes” in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are real messages. They are written in the DNA with a special language. In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word” that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell （细胞） to build its parts. So far, scientists have found all the words in the DNA map, but we do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do. Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine to help sick people. Other people worry that when we learn more “words” and find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way, just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people getting jobs.根据短文内容，请用完整句子回答下列问题。6．Why do we look like our parents?__________________________________7．What did the two scientists find in 1961?__________________________________8．How can we help sick people if we understand more “words” in the DNA map?__________________________________9．What does the underlined word “They” refer to?__________________________________10．What can we know from the last paragraph? __________________________________（三）（2022湖南张家界中考真题）阅读下面的短文，根据所读内容回答问题。Many students may have time to enjoy after-school activities because of the double reduction policy（双减政策）.

After all, China has a large number of poor villages. In order to show the truth to people, Chen set out to make No Poverty Land.The trip turned out to be hard. When she was halfway up the ladder to Atule’er. For example. Chen felt so tired that she could hardly go any further. She was also afraid of heights. The villagers advised her to stop the climb, but the woman continued her climb.This steel ladder, in fact, is only six years old.

Through No Poverty Land, people can easily see how life in poor areas of China has been improved.China has changed a lot, but some people just find it hard to believe.

Today, working out through online videos is becoming very popular. Since the Internet is widely used, it’s very easy for us to do so. That means we can work out anytime anywhere.One of my friends, Lin Fei. followed short workout videos to do daily exercise. “With live programs, I feel like working out with my friends, which encourages me to hold on to the last minute.” she said. Another friend of mine, Michael, told me that workout videos let him feel so comfortable. “I have a fear of working out at the gym（健身房）because I don’t like being watched by others. Working out at home makes working out much more enjoyable.” he said.With their examples, I decided to give it a try. When I told my plan to my elder sister, a P.E. teacher, she reminded me that workout videos could be helpful but might still carry some problems.“Without being with someone in person, you will be less willing （愿意的）to work out to your best. Working out at the gym allows you to have advice in real time and get pushed harder.” my sister said to me. “Well, if you really want to have a try. first, choose proper programs or videos. That’s very important. And then ask your friends for advice. Their experiences can give you a good sight into what you can expect. Anyway, don’t be addicted（沉迷的）to it. You should try different ways to work out to be healthy.”At her suggestions, I finally followed an online workout program with personalized help that is held for three months. After the first period of training, I felt it very practical and helpful when I put in the right amount （量） of work along with a strong will. Compared with going to the gym, using online videos to work out is a much cheaper and time-saving choice.

She used to be a boss. After she retired(退休), she opened a clothes factory and it went very well. In 2011, her factory was in trouble and she was in debt(欠债), so she had to sell her apartment and her factory to pay back her debt. After ten years, she finally paid back all her debt. It’s said that someone advised her to apply for bankruptcy(申请破产), then she could avoid paying back her debt, but she refuse. “I can’t do that. When we’re in debt, we must pay it back.” The old lady sold most of her things to pay back the debt because of this faith. Some businessmen were so touched by this “Honest Lady” that they reached out to help her. When things became better, she gave away jackets worth more than 20,000 yuan to an old people’s home and more than 140 persons received the warmth she passed. Chen shows us how to be an honest and trustworthy(可信赖的) person. When one person loses his honesty, he’ll fail. The 90-year-old lady not only moves us, but also gives us a true lesson in honesty.97．What did Chen Jinying used to be? ___________________________________________________98．Why was Chen Jinying in debt? ___________________________________________________99．How long did it take Chen Jinying to pay back all her debt? ___________________________________________________100．Was Chen Jinying alone when she had trouble? ___________________________________________________101．What do you think of Chen Jinying?

At the very beginning of the lockdown (行动限制), some old people, especially those living alone, had difficulty getting vegetables.One day, in the community WeChat group, an old man said that he was short of vegetables so I had an idea of setting up a food bank in the community, and my neighbors were also ready to offer help.To keep social distancing (社交距离), I used a large box as the food bank, and put it in the public area. Neighbors could give away and get some food there. The large box was quickly filled with vegetables, rice and snacks.One evening, I saw a bag of vegetables with a note saying “These are fresh vegetables. Please take them home if you need.”In the WeChat group, an old lady who got the vegetables said, “I was so moved by the good-will (善意), but I only took three tomatoes, because I wanted to leave the rest for those people really in need.”There were many similar stories in my city during the lockdown. Although COVID-19 keeps us apart, we can get through the hard times as long as we pull together.根据短文内容，回答下列问题。102．When did COVID-19 start suddenly in the city?_______________________________________________103．Who had difficulty getting vegetables?_______________________________________________104．Where did the writer put the large box in the community?_______________________________________________105．Why did the old lady only take three tomatoes?_______________________________________________106．What can we learn from the passage? _______________________________________________（二十二）（2022黑龙江绥化中考真题）As we all know, environmental pollution is serious now.

I do hope you can stop by and visit us in the Big Apple — a popular name for New York City. There are so many things to see and do here.

Here are some of them.Firstly, homework for middle school students should take no more than 90 minutes. They can finish most of written homework at school so that after school they only spend a little time finishing the rest. Some students can still go to sleep on time even though they don’t finish their homework until bedtime. Then they will have more time to relax. Secondly, mobile phones mustn’t be brought to class because students are easily absent-minded (心不在焉的) from the lesson. Students must control the time on electronic products to protect their eyesight. They shouldn’t lose themselves in the Internet. Thirdly, students are expected to listen carefully and go over lessons in time so that they can master the right methods of learning.

One day, they met at an old temple at night. They were very upset because none of them had much to eat.“I only got this piece of meat today.” the first said. “I almost got nothing,” the second said, “I just picked up a potato outside the vegetable store during the day.” The third said that all he had was a small bottle of salt. The fourth beggar had not done much better, “I only got some old beans, but they aren’t very mice!” As they sat around the fire, the beggar with only a bottle of salt had a great idea “Let’s put all our things together and boil them. In this way, we can make a tasty dish and share it.” They all agreed. However, the first beggar thought, “I don’t want to share. I’ll just pretend to throw my meat into the pot. They’ll never know and I’ll eat my meat alone later.” So he pretended to put the meat into the pot. And at the same time the other beggars had similar ideas to him. At that time, the temple was too dark for the beggars to see what the others were doing.Finally, one of them suggested that the dish should be ready and, in turn, each of them helped himself to it. They drank the hot water in silence, learning that selfishness (自私) doesn’t taste all that good.阅读短文，回答下列问题。127．How did the four beggars feel when they met one day?_______________________________________________128．What did the second beggar get during the day?_______________________________________________129．Who wanted to share with others in the end?_______________________________________________130．Did they have a tasty dish?_______________________________________________131．What do you learn from the story?_______________________________________________（二十七）（2022江苏泰州中考真题）Flora and her dad are moving to a new house soon.
