（2024·浙江杭州·二模）One day several years ago, Valorie Salimpoor took a drive that changed her life. Salimpoor, a neuroscience graduate, was trying to decide on her future job. She felt that a drive might help clear her head. When she turned on the car radio, a piece of violin music came on: Brahms’ Hungarian Dance No.5. “Something just happened,” she recalls. “I just felt this feeling… It was so strong.” She stopped the car so she could focus on the music. She wondered why it had such a powerful influence on her.
Salimpoor found a job working as a neuroscientist. Her research included scanning (扫描) people’s brain activity as they listened to music. She discovered that when people listen to the music they like, their brains filled with dopamine (多巴胺)—a chemical connected with pleasure and encouragement. In one experiment, people listened to the first 30 seconds of unfamiliar songs. The listeners were then given the choices of buying the full songs, using their own money. By studying dopamine-related areas of the people’s brains, Salimpoor was able to successfully predict which songs the people would choose to buy. She could tell what they liked and what they didn’t based on brain activity.
But why might one person like a song while another person doesn’t Salimpoor says it all depends on past musical experiences. “Eastern, Western, jazz, heavy metal, pop—all of these have different rules they follow,” she says. These rules are recorded as patterns, or templates (模板), in the brain. If the new music has a familiar (熟悉的) template, your brain lets out dopamine and brings a feeling of pleasure. This might explain why most people have a preference for a certain type of music.
There are questions Salimpoor is still trying to answer: How does our brain make musical templates Why do people with similar backgrounds have different preferences Her research, though, has given her a new way to think about her experience years ago. “That day,” she says, “it all seemed like such a big mystery.” Now when she hears a piece of music she likes, she has a better understanding of what’s happening inside her brain.

（2024·浙江温州·二模）At the age of 19, I graduated from high school and moved to a place where it snowed often. I felt free, independent and completely in control of my life there until I knew I had bacterial meningitis (细菌性脑膜炎).
When my parents wheeled me out of the hospital, I felt like I had been pieced back together like a doll with my “new legs”. They hurt so badly that all I could think was what I could do with these things. Tears streamed down my face. I was completely emotionally (情绪上) broken.
But I knew I had to let go of the old Amy and learn to welcome the new Amy. Four months later I was back up on a snowboard, although things didn’t go quite as expected: My legs went flying down the mountain, and I was on top of the mountain still. I was so discouraged. But I knew that if I could find the right pair of legs, I would be able to do this again. And this is when I learned that difficulties we met would bring two kinds of results: stop us on the road or ▲ .
I did a year of research, but still couldn’t find out what kind of legs to use, so I decided to make a pair myself. It was these legs and the best 21st birthday gift I could ever receive—a new kidney (肾) from my dad—that allowed me to follow my dreams again. I started snowboarding, then I went back to work.
In 2005, I founded an organization for youth and young adults with physical disabilities so they could join in sports. From there, I had the opportunity to go to South Africa, where I helped to put shoes on thousands of children’s feet so they could attend school. With my effort, I got three World Cup gold medals which made me the highest ranked female snowboarder in the world.
Twenty-six years ago, when I lost my legs, I had no idea what to expect. But my legs haven’t disabled me. They’ve forced me to depend on my imagination and to believe in the possibilities, because in my mind, we can do anything and we can be anything!

Our star Kayla was practising for the school’s musical show. But the dog Sandy, an important supporting role, didn’t work very well with her. Every time when Kayla sang her beautiful notes, the dog would cut in with a woooof together. “This isn’t working! I can’t sing this song until we find a decent (合适的) dog!” Kayla stormed off the stage (舞台).
This dog was already our third one, but now everyone knew it would not be the last.
“Ashley, can you get another dog by Monday ” asked Mr. Loomis, our director and drama teacher. He was almost driven crazy.
“OK. I’ll try.” I answered. I had been one of the actors on the show, but now I did something backstage. I loved acting but it seemed my large birthmark (胎记) on face made some people uncomfortable. So I chose to leave the show and stay backstage.
Now I took over the job of searching. But unluckily, my weekend search only made one possibility. It was the dog called Farley from the local shelter (收容所). It was smart and good at comforting people, but the main thing about it was that it missed a leg.
I didn’t think Kayla would be satisfied with this dog. However, Mr. Loomis gave me an unexpected answer. “The new dog is wonderful! We practiced with Kayla, and she loves it. It does nothing bad on the stage.”
“Aren’t you worried that people will dislike it having only three legs Don’t you think everything should be perfect for the show ” I worried.

Hearing this, I still felt doubtful. Would people think good of my acting without caring much about my birthmark Should I keep my dream of acting
Several days later, it turned out Farley was a huge hit. Many people made comments about how sweet it was for us to give this dog a chance. But it was not just a chance for Farley, we knew it was actually the best dog actor.
On the day we celebrated the success of the show, Mr. Loomis handed me a paper sheet. It was about our next musical show.

Then one day, I turned around, and they were grown and on their own. I found myself wishing I could get them back. Imagine my surprise to find that grown children can be as much fun as little ones. Here are two examples:
②One January, when my father-in-law died, I called my younger son Nate to say I’d drive up to Yosemite, and we’d drive out the next day to attend the funeral. It was snowing when I pulled into the park. The next morning, Nate and I left early, only to get stuck in the snow. We sat for five hours in a blizzard (暴风雪) waiting for the road to be cleared. Meanwhile, Nate pleased me with knock-knock jokes and other things he had learned in Yosemite. I will never forget it.
③A few years later, I flew to New York to visit my elder son Josh. That night, Josh began having pain in his right side. We took a taxi to a hospital, where he was admitted for an operation. When the operation was done, I stayed for a week to take care of him. We watched movies and ate delicious food. I will never forget it.
④Grown children will always need a mother, not to tell them what to do or how to do it, but to listen when they need to talk. At the same time, we’ll always need our grown-up children to make us laugh and keep us young and fill that place in our heart that only they can fill.

（2024·浙江杭州·二模）①As a grandma, who played on the Banff girls’ ice hockey (冰球) team 50 years ago, I finally worked up the courage to play the sport with my 8-year-old grandson and his dad.
②“Grandma scored,” my grandson shouted.
③“Of course she did.” my son-in-law said. “She was on a hockey team a really long time ago.”
④My heart melted.
⑤Memories of playing hockey as a teenager began to flood my mind. In the mid-1970s, two brave Banff High School teachers started our girls’ hockey team. We had many difficulties to overcome before our first game: learning the rules, skating on the ice as fast as we could and passing, and mastering more skills.
⑥Our first real game was against a team from Jasper. They skated fast. They passed and zipped up and down the ice like superstars. And then our captain got pushed into the boards hard.
⑦I stood there with my mouth open. My teammates wore similar expressions, and our coach speechless. Then, as I was making a pass to a teammate, I got a hit. I got up on my knees and gasped (喘气) for air. That hurt. A lot.
⑧“It’s a long way from your heart,” our coach shouted. “Get up.” Those were the exact words I needed to hear to stop the tears and get back in the game.
⑨We lost 13-0. We should have been sad about it but we weren’t. We were so thankful that we could all still walk to the dressing room. A month later we played with Jasper again. We lost 4-0 but they hadn’t killed us this time-both physically or on the scoreboard. A proud loss! I thought. Our final game against Jasper was at the Easter Tournament on my home ice. And guess what, we scored a goal—the only goal of the game. We won!
⑩Next month, my grandson will play on the ice where we beat Jasper. I can’t wait to walk down to him and show him our team picture while stepping onto the ice wasn’t as wobby (摇晃的) for me as it is today.

（2024·浙江杭州·二模）Wednesday, March 8, 2023
Today was Holi, the festival of colors! The day kicked off with Mom’s mouth-watering gujiyas, those sweet, deep-fried Indian dumplings. The smell itself was a joyful wake-up call.
At 8 a. m., I put on my old clothes because I knew they would get all colorful. I said “Happy Holi” to everyone, and they applied (涂抹) bright colors on my cheeks. I looked like a rainbow!
By 10 a. m., there had already been so many kids in the neighborhood park. We had water guns and balloons filled with water and colored powders (粉末). We ran around and sprayed or threw the colored water at each other. I got totally wet and colorful, and so did everyone else.
At noon, we were all super hungry after playing so much. We returned home. Mom had prepared a special Holi lunch. We had puris (small, round, flat pieces of bread), thandai (a milk-based sweet drink) and sweets. I ate so much. It was like a food festival!
As the clock struck 2 p. m., it was time for our next adventure — visiting friends’ homes. There, we exchanged sweets and colors. I even met some new friends in the neighborhood.
At 4 p. m., our local temple held a big Holi celebration. People played the drums and we danced to the music. Everyone was dancing and laughing together. It felt like a Bollywood (宝莱坞) movie come to life.
At 6 p. m., it started getting dark. We lit a bonfire called “Holika Dahan”. It was to remember a special story about Holi. We threw colored powder into the fire and watched it burn. It was like magic.
At 8 p. m., I took a long bath to wash off all the colors, but some will stick around for a few days. It’s actually pretty cool—they will remind me of this colorful day!
It’s 9 p. m., and it’s time for bed. I’m so sleepy, but I can’t stop smiling. Holi is the happiest festival, and I can’t wait for next year!

（2024·浙江嘉兴·二模）Born and grown up in Africa, I first learned about China through famous Kungfu movies. And when I was in college, I was lucky to get a chance to visit the famous Shaolin Temple in Henan Province.
At the time, I didn’t realize that besides the long-expected Kungfu, thousands of surprises were waiting for me in China. To begin with, I was not prepared for the weather. It was a difficult change from hot summer in Africa to cold winter in China. The language was a huge problem for me as well. Getting used to Chinese food also seemed impossible then, but now I’m a great fan of the food here.
The Kungfu training was far from easy and the first week was the hardest. We got up at 5 a.m. and practiced throughout the day. The rest of the time was used for having meals and studying Chinese language and culture. Although it was very tiring, the repeated and long-time exercises built up both my body and mind. The life in Shaolin Temple made me realize how important politeness, respect and perseverance (毅力) are to the basic spirit of Chinese Kungfu and that they should be practiced throughout our daily lives.
Day by day, I came to notice that China is a place full of wonders, a place where hard work pays off. And I finally fell in love with its culture and people. That’s why I’ve decided to stay and continue my studies in China.
The world is becoming better united, and all our cultures are amazing. I will happily be a bridge of China to the world, sharing my stories in this open and people-centered country.
