How will we live a colorful life?
Here are some meaningful ways to enrich (充实) our lives.
Volunteer Our Time and Donate Our Things
Sometimes what we can do to make our lives more meaningful is to make a difference to someone else’s life,
such as spending time out of our week volunteering. If we’re not available during weekdays, try on weekends.
Another choice is to give things that we aren’t using to people who are in need for free.
Enjoy the Great Outdoors
If we’re stressed out at home, it will be amazing that a quick walk outside can be good for us. Not only does a
quick trip out of the house cheer us up, but also it is a great chance for exercise. So go out, walk or do any outdoor
physical activity we enjoy.
Spend Time with Others
We can hang out with our friends or spend time with our family members. If there’s no one around that we’d
like to spend time with, don’t forget that we always have the choice of making new friends. We might choose to do
this in a club or at a concert. Don’t be afraid to get close to people we meet!
Be Creative
Everyone can create something. If we are interested in music, then try making some new music. If we love
writing, then try writing an article. The possibilities are endless.
翻译：我们如何才能过上丰富多彩的生活？以下是一些充实生活的有意义方式。奉献时间参与志愿活动，捐赠闲置物品
有时，让我们的生活更有意义的方式，是为他人的生活带来改变，比如每周抽出时间参加志愿活动。
如果工作日没空，不妨试试周末。另一种选择是把我们不再使用的物品免费送给有需要的人。
享受户外美好时光
如果在家感到压力重重，出去快速走一走会给我们带来惊喜——不仅能让心情变好，也是锻炼身体
的好机会。所以，走出家门，散步或做任何我们喜欢的户外体育活动吧。
花时间陪伴他人
我们可以和朋友一起出去玩，或者与家人共度时光。如果身边暂时没有想陪伴的人，别忘了我们永
远可以选择结交新朋友——可以在俱乐部里，也可以在音乐会上。不要害怕与遇见的人亲近！
激发创造力
每个人都能创造出属于自己的东西。如果对音乐感兴趣，不妨尝试创作新音乐；如果热爱写作，那就
试着写一篇文章。可能性是无穷无尽的。

such as spending time out of our week volunteering.
翻译：有时候，能让我们的生活变得更有意义的事，就是为他人的生活带来改变，比如每周抽出时间做志
愿活动。
分析：本句核心是what 引导的主语从句（what we can do 作句子主语）；包含 2 个高频短语：make a
difference to（对…… 产生影响）、spend time doing sth.（花费时间做某事），句式结构清晰，符合阅读水
平。
2. Not only does a quick trip out of the house cheer us up, but also it is a great chance for exercise.
翻译：出门短暂走走不仅能让我们心情变好，而且这也是锻炼身体的好机会。
分析：本句是Not only...but also...（不仅…… 而且……） 倒装句式（前半句倒装，后半句正常）；搭配短

3. If there’s no one around that we’d like to spend time with, don’t forget that we always have the choice of
making new friends.
翻译：如果身边没有我们想一起相处的人，别忘了我们永远都可以选择结交新朋友。
分析：本句含if 引导的条件状语从句，符合主祁从现的语法，从句中嵌套 that 引导的定语从句修饰 no

postman, a policeman, a fireman, a taxi driver, a school-bus driver, a boatman, an ambulance man, an accountant, a
petrol attendant, a barman, and an undertaker. Also, he and his wife, Margaret, have a shop and a small hotel.
Seumas lives and works on the island of Gigha in the west of Scotland. Only 120 people live on Gigha but in
summer more than 150 tourists come by boat every day. Every weekday Seumas gets up at six and makes breakfast
for the hotel guests. At eight he drives the island’s children to school. At nine he collects the post from the boat and
delivers it to all the houses on the island. He also delivers the beer to the island’s only pub. Then he helps Margaret
in the shop. He says: “Margaret likes being busy too. We never have holidays and we don’t like watching
television. In the evening Margaret makes supper and I do the accounts. At ten we have a glass of wine and then we
go to bed. Perhaps our life isn’t very exciting, but we like it.”

喝杯酒，然后上床睡觉。也许我们的生活不太令人兴奋，但我们喜欢它。”

Passage3
（2024·山东滨州·中考真题）As a country powerful in math, China has many folk games full of math
wisdom (智慧). You may play many of them before. Let’s take a look at three of them.
Chinese nine linked rings puzzleIt’s believed that the nine linked rings puzzle was created
in the Western Han Dynasty. And it is usually made up of nine rings connected to a handle (手柄).
Players have to remove (移除) all the rings from the handle to win the game. This is not a simple
game. The solution takes 341 moves, so lots of patience is required. But if you learn to solve it,
it’s hard to forget.
TangramFirst popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the tangram is a puzzle made up of
seven pieces of different shapes. For each puzzle, players need to use all the pieces to make a
shape. To do it, they have to know about geometry (几何学). In the 18th century, the tangram was
brought to the West and soon became popular there.
Luban lockThe Luban lock was first created by Lu Ban 2,000 years ago. The lock has a lot
to do with solid geometry (立体几何). It’s hard to separate the six pieces. However, it is usually
easier to unlock a Luban lock than to put it back together. Now, there are Luban locks made up of
nine or more pieces.
1．Which of the following subjects do the three folk games have to do with?
A．English. B．Music. C．Math. D．Chemistry.
2．_________ is first popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Their thank-you letters got Xu to turn his book-gifting effort into a physical space.
Xu’s library might be the smallest in the world, but in another sense, it’s also the biggest because its books
keep 6 . Once, a reader took home an English book on Chinese history. A week later, he passed it on to a
neighbor. 7 , the book traveled all the way abroad and ended up in Germany. “The 8 of the book is a
wonder. Many wonders like this keep the culture of reading alive,” Xu tells the newspaper.
