阅读理解之记叙文
备战 2025 年中考英语新课标（核心素养）二轮复习之优秀
生拔高重难题型特训
【预测分析】
一、重难点分析
1、情节发展与细节定位
复杂时间线与事件转折：记叙文常包含多事件串联（如“问题→行动→结果”），需理清时间
顺序（如过去时、现在完成时）及转折词（如 however, eventually）。
隐蔽性细节：关键信息可能分散在不同段落，需结合上下文推断（如人物动机、环境暗示）。
示例：原文通过“Lily hesitated to keep the puppy”到“took it home”的转折，暗示情感变化。
2、人物情感与态度推断
语言与动作描写：需通过对话、表情或动作（如“stared at the broken vase, his face pale”）推
断隐含情感（愧疚、喜悦）。
情感变化线索：如从“angry”到“forgiven”的转变，需结合事件发展分析。
3、隐含主题与主旨概括
结局导向：主题常隐含于故事结局（如团队合作赢得比赛→“合作的重要性”）。
价值观渗透：可能涉及西方文化（如个人英雄主义）或社会议题（如青少年独立）。
4、文化背景与语言风格
文化符号理解：如“打破镜子=厄运”等西方文化隐喻，需结合上下文解读。
文学性语言：比喻、伏笔等手法可能增加理解难度（如“the storm mirrored her turmoil”）。
5、新题型挑战
多视角叙事：同一事件通过不同人物视角叙述，需对比观点差异。
图文结合题：需结合插图或时间轴分析情节（如人物情绪变化曲线）。
二、解题步骤与技巧
1、通读全文，梳理脉络
标记时间线：用符号标注事件顺序（如→表顺承，△表转折），梳理“起因-发展-高潮-结局”
结构。
人物关系图：标注角色互动（如 Lily→puppy owner），避免混淆。
2、聚焦题干关键词定位
锁定疑问词与核心词：如题干问“Why did Tom cry”，需定位情感爆发段落。
跳读干扰信息：忽略修饰性形容词（如“beautiful garden”），直击动作或对话。
3、分析人物与主题
性格判断：通过反复行为（如“apologized three times”）推断谦逊或懊悔。
主题归纳：结合结局句（如作者感悟）总结核心思想（如勇气、环保）。
4、排除干扰项
警惕绝对化表述：如“never”“all”通常为错误选项。
避免片面信息：干扰项可能仅涉及局部情节，需结合全文判断。
5、限时训练与复盘
速度控制：每篇控制在 7 分钟内，强化速读与定位能力。
错题归类：记录“情感误判”“主题偏离”等错误类型，针对性强化。
三、2025 年考向预测
1、命题趋势升级
题材多样化：贴近学生生活（校园欺凌、志愿服务）、社会热点（环保行动、科技伦理）。
难度提升：增加隐性情感推断（如通过环境描写暗示情绪）和开放式推理（如“主人公未来
行动”）。
2、新题型方向
结构分析题：要求判断段落逻辑关系（因果、对比）或插图作用。
跨文化对比：可能结合中西文化差异（如节日习俗）设计题目。
3、高频场景预测
成长类故事：如克服恐惧、学会独立（参考 Molly Burke 的励志故事）。
社会温情类：陌生人帮助、家庭矛盾化解（如父母与青少年的沟通）。
四、备考建议
1、结构化训练
每日精读 1 篇真题：标注时间线、情感词（如 relieved, frustrated）、主题句。
仿写训练：尝试续写故事结局或改写叙事视角，强化逻辑思维。
2、高频词汇积累
情感类：determined, conflicted, grateful。
动作类：hesitate, rush, whisper。
3、实战模拟与策略优化
限时模拟：使用 2024-2025 年江苏各地市真题（如无锡、扬州卷）。
错题本分类：按“细节遗漏”“逻辑误判”归类，针对性强化。
总结：2025 年泰州中考记叙文将更注重情节深度分析与跨文化理解，考生需通过“脉络梳理
+情感推理”双轨突破，并适应多模态题型。建议结合真题精练与文化背景拓展，提升语篇解
读能力与应试精准度。
【基础试题】
A
Peking Opera used to sound strange to Dou Yi. The 14-year-old Beijinger said whenever
she found Peking Opera on TV, she watched another program. Like most of today’s teenagers, she
preferred pop music and changed TV channels when operas played, thinking they were for older
people.
This changed when her school introduced Peking Opera classes. Every week, a teacher
taught students famous operas and the four main roles: sheng (male), dan (female), jing
(colorful-faced male), and chou (comic roles). They learned basic movements like waving sleeves
and special steps.
“At first, the singing was too high and rhythms were tricky. We laughed trying to copy it,”
Dou said. But with practice, the music became meaningful. They discovered operas tell stories—
some about heroes, others about poems.
Since 2008, many Chinese schools have taught Peking Opera to share traditions. Dou’s
school organizes performances where students act out scenes. “I didn’t know operas included
history,” she said. “One even has a Tang Dynasty poem! It’s like fun history lessons.”
Now, Dou and her classmates enjoy Peking Opera. They discuss it during breaks and sing
parts together. “I used to think traditions were old-fashioned, but they’re part of us,” she
explained. “If we keep learning, this art won’t fade. It’s our treasure!”
Through school, Dou found beauty in Peking Opera. She hopes more teens will try it.
“Understanding our culture makes us proud of who we are, ” she smiled.

Every time I see that spacecraft-shaped kite hanging on my wall, my grandpa’s voice rises
in my ears and can still touch my heart after so long.
When I was a child, I often went to my great-grandmother’s house in the countryside. Her
neighbor was a craftsman (手艺人) who was good at making kites, and I called him “Grandpa
Sun”. I loved watching him make kites, and he always showed me his works with pleasure. All of
the kites he made were vivid, some like birds flapping (摆动) their wings against the wind, others
like fish wagging (摇摆) their heads and tails in the air. Seeing my admired look seemed to bring
him the greatest satisfaction.
Once, I asked him, “Grandpa, can you teach me how to make kites ” His eyes lit up at
once, shining with the brightness that I had never seen before. He looked at me and said, “There
are fewer and fewer people making kites by hand because everything can be produced with
machines! So, little boy, since you are going back to the city in a few days, let’s just enjoy flying a
kite.”
The kite we made together flew in the blue sky for a while before falling to the ground as
the wind slowly died down.
Just as I was about to leave, he gifted me a spacecraft-shaped kite. “Take this, and don’t
forget my kite. May you fly as high as this kite.” There were two handwritten characters on the
kite: Shen Zhou, just like the famous rocket. I will never forget Grandpa Sun, nor his wonderful
gift.

A
When 14-year-old Lin Xia from Shanghai first arrived in London for a student exchange
program, she was both excited and nervous. Her host family, the Thompsons,welcomed her
warmly, but cultural misunderstandings soon appeared.
On her first morning, Mrs. Thompson served baked beans and toast for breakfast. Xia
politely ate a few bites, though the salty beans couldn’t satisfy her taste buds. Later, she whispered
to her roommate Emma, “Do British people eat beans every morning ” Emma burst out laughing.
“No! Mum thought you might miss Chinese breakfasts. She read online that beans are popular in
Shanghai!” Xia realized Mrs. Thompson had mixed up Shanghai’s sweet red bean desserts with
British baked beans.
Another challenge turned up during a school project. Xia’s team needed to design a poster
about climate solutions. While her British teammates freely debated (辩论) ideas, Xia hesitated
(犹 豫 ) to disagree with others, remembering her teachers’ advice in China: “Group harmony
matters most.” Noticing her silence, the teacher Ms. Wilkins came up to her. “Your opinion is
valuable, Xia. In Britain, respectful debates often lead to better solutions.” Taking a deep breath,
Xia shared her idea of using algae (藻类) to take in carbon dioxide — a concept she’d learned
from her scientist father. The team loved it and won the first prize.
By the trip’s end, Xia had grown bolder. She even taught the Thompsons to make
dumplings, laughing as Mr. Thompson accidentally dropped one on the cat. “Cultural exchange
isn’t about being perfect,” she wrote in her diary. “It’s about listening, adapting (适 应 ), and
finding joy in the messy middle.”
1．What was the main purpose of the Thompsons serving baked beans
A．To introduce traditional British food. B．To recreate a Shanghai-style breakfast.
C．To make fun of Chinese eating habits. D．To test Xia’s adaptability.
2．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “mixed up” in Paragraph
2
A．cooked carefully B．thought wrongly
C．purposely replaced D．turned up
3．Why did Xia avoid disagreeing with her teammates in the beginning
A．She lacked confidence in her English. B．She found their ideas perfect.
C．She valued team harmony over debate. D．She disliked the teacher’s intervention (干涉).
4．Which lesson did Xia learn from her experience
A．Cultural exchange requires avoiding mistakes.
B．Perfect understanding between cultures is impossible.
C．Adaptation and communication bridge cultural differences.
D．Western education systems are better than others.
5．How does the author organize the passage
A．By comparing British and Chinese customs.
B．By asking questions and answering them.
C．Through a personal growth story with examples.
D．Through historical data of exchange programs.

beans are popular in Shanghai!’ Xia realized Mrs. Thompson had mixed up Shanghai’s sweet red
bean desserts with British baked beans.”可知，Mrs. Thompson 在网上读到“豆类在上海很受欢

见她在辩论中重视团队和谐。故选 C。
4．推理判断题。根据“‘Cultural exchange isn’t about being perfect,’ she wrote in her diary. ‘It’s
about listening, adapting (适应), and finding joy in the messy middle.’”可知，林夏在日记中总结

praise for being a trusted friend to the students.

Zhao, a blind retired teacher. At first, I thought it would be boring. But when I mispronounced
“philosophy”, he gently corrected me. That’s how our real communication began.
One rainy afternoon, I found him touching a chessboard. “I used to play with my students,”
he sighed. Suddenly inspired, I suggested teaching him Braille chess. We spent weeks developing
our own system using different textured pieces.
The magic happened during the Spring Festival party. When Mr. Zhao defeated three staff
members in a row using our special chess set, the whole room erupted in cheers. His smile shone

My first name was Philip, but when I was a small child, I could only say Pip. So Pip
became my name. I lived in a small village with my sister, who married Joe, the village
blacksmith (铁匠). My parents had died years ago, so I often went to visit the churchyard to look
at their names on their gravestones (墓碑).
One cold afternoon, I sat on a gravestone in that churchyard, listening to the sound of the
sea.
“Don’t say a word!” cried a voice, as a man jumped up and caught me. “If you shout, I’ll
kill you!” He was a big man, with an iron chain (铁链) on his leg. He looked tired, and hungry. I
had never been so scared in my whole life.
“Oh! Don’t kill me, sir!”
“Tell me your name, boy!” he said, still holding me. “And show me where you live!”
“My name’s Pip, sir. And I live in the village over there.”
He picked me up and turned me upside down. A piece of old bread fell out of my pocket.
He ate it like a dog.
“So where are your parents ” he asked.
“There, sir,” I answered, pointing to their graves.
“What!” he cried, and wanted to run, when he saw where I was pointing. “Oh!” he said.
“They’re dead. Well, who do you live with ”
“With my sister, sir, wife of the blacksmith.”
“Blacksmith, you say ” And he looked down at his leg. Then he held me and looked down
into my eyes.
“Now look here. You bring me a file and some food to me tomorrow morning. If you don’t,
or if you tell anyone about me, I’ll cut your heart out.”
“I promise I’ll do it, sir,” my body was shaking.
“You see,” he continued, “I travel with a friend, who likes eating boys’ hearts. Wherever
you are, we’ll find you.”
As soon as he turned, I ran home as fast as I could.

One day, a train was approaching the small town of Cheekyville. On the train was a strange
guy with a big suitcase. He was called William Warbler and he looked very common indeed. What
made him weird, though, was the fact that whenever he needed to communicate he did it by
singing opera. It didn’t matter to William whether it was simply a matter of answering a brief
greeting, like “good day”. He would clear his voice and respond,
“Gooood dayyy to youuuuuuuu… toooooo!”
It wouldn’t be unfair to say that almost everyone considered William Warbler a massive
pain in the neck. No one could get a normal, spoken word out of him. They made fun of his
singing, calling him “Don No One”, “Poor-Rotti”, and “Lazy Miserables”.
William had been in Cheekyville for some years, when, one day, news spread round town
like wildfire: William had got a role in a very important opera in the nation’s capital, and there
were posters everywhere advertising the event. Everyone in the capital went to see it, and it was a
great success. At the end of its run—to everyone in Cheekyville’s surprise —when William was
being interviewed by reporters, he answered their questions by speaking rather than singing. And
he did it with great courtesy (礼仪), and with a clear and pleasant voice.
From that day, William gave up singing at all hours. Now he did it only during his stage
appearances and world tours. Some people wondered why he had changed, but others still had no
idea, and continued believing him to be mad. They wouldn’t have thought so if they had seen what
William kept in his big suitcase. It was a large stone, with a hand-carved message on it.
The message said: “Practise, my boy. Practise every second, for you never know when your
chance will come.”
Little did people realize that he only got the role in the opera because the director had heard
William singing while out buying a newspaper.
1．What is the closest meaning of the word “weird” in Paragraph 1
A．common B．unusual C．fair D．surprised
2．At first, what did people in Cheekyville think of William
A．William’s singing made their necks painful.
B．They thought he had a talent for singing.
C．They liked to make friends with him.
D．William’s behaviours made them feel terrible.
3．How did the people feel when they found William could speak very well
A．Surprised. B．Angry. C．Excited. D．Pleased.
4．What can we infer from the story
A．William was used to singing in his daily life because he was unable to speak clearly.
B．William meant to pretend that he could only sing instead of speaking.
C．William sang in his daily life so that he could practise as much as possible.
D．William was chosen to play a role in the opera because he was famous.
5．What is the best title of the story
A．William—the best opera singer ever B．Don’t laugh at those with dreams
C．Practice made a successful singer D．Chances will come
【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．C

生拔高重难题型特训
【预测分析】
一、重难点分析
1、情节发展与细节定位
复杂时间线与事件转折：记叙文常包含多事件串联（如“问题→行动→结果”），需理清时间
顺序（如过去时、现在完成时）及转折词（如 however, eventually）。
隐蔽性细节：关键信息可能分散在不同段落，需结合上下文推断（如人物动机、环境暗示）。
示例：原文通过“Lily hesitated to keep the puppy”到“took it home”的转折，暗示情感变化。
2、人物情感与态度推断
语言与动作描写：需通过对话、表情或动作（如“stared at the broken vase, his face pale”）推
断隐含情感（愧疚、喜悦）。
情感变化线索：如从“angry”到“forgiven”的转变，需结合事件发展分析。
3、隐含主题与主旨概括
结局导向：主题常隐含于故事结局（如团队合作赢得比赛→“合作的重要性”）。
价值观渗透：可能涉及西方文化（如个人英雄主义）或社会议题（如青少年独立）。
4、文化背景与语言风格
文化符号理解：如“打破镜子=厄运”等西方文化隐喻，需结合上下文解读。
文学性语言：比喻、伏笔等手法可能增加理解难度（如“the storm mirrored her turmoil”）。
5、新题型挑战
多视角叙事：同一事件通过不同人物视角叙述，需对比观点差异。
图文结合题：需结合插图或时间轴分析情节（如人物情绪变化曲线）。
二、解题步骤与技巧
1、通读全文，梳理脉络
标记时间线：用符号标注事件顺序（如→表顺承，△表转折），梳理“起因-发展-高潮-结局”
结构。
人物关系图：标注角色互动（如 Lily→puppy owner），避免混淆。
2、聚焦题干关键词定位
锁定疑问词与核心词：如题干问“Why did Tom cry”，需定位情感爆发段落。
跳读干扰信息：忽略修饰性形容词（如“beautiful garden”），直击动作或对话。
3、分析人物与主题
性格判断：通过反复行为（如“apologized three times”）推断谦逊或懊悔。
主题归纳：结合结局句（如作者感悟）总结核心思想（如勇气、环保）。
4、排除干扰项
警惕绝对化表述：如“never”“all”通常为错误选项。
避免片面信息：干扰项可能仅涉及局部情节，需结合全文判断。
5、限时训练与复盘
速度控制：每篇控制在 7 分钟内，强化速读与定位能力。
错题归类：记录“情感误判”“主题偏离”等错误类型，针对性强化。
三、2025 年考向预测
1、命题趋势升级
题材多样化：贴近学生生活（校园欺凌、志愿服务）、社会热点（环保行动、科技伦理）。
难度提升：增加隐性情感推断（如通过环境描写暗示情绪）和开放式推理（如“主人公未来
行动”）。
2、新题型方向
结构分析题：要求判断段落逻辑关系（因果、对比）或插图作用。
跨文化对比：可能结合中西文化差异（如节日习俗）设计题目。
3、高频场景预测
成长类故事：如克服恐惧、学会独立（参考 Molly Burke 的励志故事）。
社会温情类：陌生人帮助、家庭矛盾化解（如父母与青少年的沟通）。
四、备考建议
1、结构化训练
每日精读 1 篇真题：标注时间线、情感词（如 relieved, frustrated）、主题句。
仿写训练：尝试续写故事结局或改写叙事视角，强化逻辑思维。
2、高频词汇积累
情感类：determined, conflicted, grateful。
动作类：hesitate, rush, whisper。
3、实战模拟与策略优化
限时模拟：使用 2024-2025 年江苏各地市真题（如无锡、扬州卷）。
错题本分类：按“细节遗漏”“逻辑误判”归类，针对性强化。
总结：2025 年泰州中考记叙文将更注重情节深度分析与跨文化理解，考生需通过“脉络梳理
+情感推理”双轨突破，并适应多模态题型。建议结合真题精练与文化背景拓展，提升语篇解
读能力与应试精准度。

Peking Opera used to sound strange to Dou Yi. The 14-year-old Beijinger said whenever
she found Peking Opera on TV, she watched another program. Like most of today’s teenagers, she
preferred pop music and changed TV channels when operas played, thinking they were for older
people.
This changed when her school introduced Peking Opera classes. Every week, a teacher
taught students famous operas and the four main roles: sheng (male), dan (female), jing
(colorful-faced male), and chou (comic roles). They learned basic movements like waving sleeves
and special steps.
“At first, the singing was too high and rhythms were tricky. We laughed trying to copy it,”
Dou said. But with practice, the music became meaningful. They discovered operas tell stories—
some about heroes, others about poems.
Since 2008, many Chinese schools have taught Peking Opera to share traditions. Dou’s
school organizes performances where students act out scenes. “I didn’t know operas included
history,” she said. “One even has a Tang Dynasty poem! It’s like fun history lessons.”
Now, Dou and her classmates enjoy Peking Opera. They discuss it during breaks and sing
parts together. “I used to think traditions were old-fashioned, but they’re part of us,” she
explained. “If we keep learning, this art won’t fade. It’s our treasure!”
Through school, Dou found beauty in Peking Opera. She hopes more teens will try it.
“Understanding our culture makes us proud of who we are, ” she smiled.

Every time I see that spacecraft-shaped kite hanging on my wall, my grandpa’s voice rises
in my ears and can still touch my heart after so long.
When I was a child, I often went to my great-grandmother’s house in the countryside. Her
neighbor was a craftsman (手艺人) who was good at making kites, and I called him “Grandpa
Sun”. I loved watching him make kites, and he always showed me his works with pleasure. All of
the kites he made were vivid, some like birds flapping (摆动) their wings against the wind, others
like fish wagging (摇摆) their heads and tails in the air. Seeing my admired look seemed to bring
him the greatest satisfaction.
Once, I asked him, “Grandpa, can you teach me how to make kites ” His eyes lit up at
once, shining with the brightness that I had never seen before. He looked at me and said, “There
are fewer and fewer people making kites by hand because everything can be produced with
machines! So, little boy, since you are going back to the city in a few days, let’s just enjoy flying a
kite.”
The kite we made together flew in the blue sky for a while before falling to the ground as
the wind slowly died down.
Just as I was about to leave, he gifted me a spacecraft-shaped kite. “Take this, and don’t
forget my kite. May you fly as high as this kite.” There were two handwritten characters on the
kite: Shen Zhou, just like the famous rocket. I will never forget Grandpa Sun, nor his wonderful
gift.

When 14-year-old Lin Xia from Shanghai first arrived in London for a student exchange
program, she was both excited and nervous. Her host family, the Thompsons,welcomed her
warmly, but cultural misunderstandings soon appeared.
On her first morning, Mrs. Thompson served baked beans and toast for breakfast. Xia
politely ate a few bites, though the salty beans couldn’t satisfy her taste buds. Later, she whispered
to her roommate Emma, “Do British people eat beans every morning ” Emma burst out laughing.
“No! Mum thought you might miss Chinese breakfasts. She read online that beans are popular in
Shanghai!” Xia realized Mrs. Thompson had mixed up Shanghai’s sweet red bean desserts with
British baked beans.
Another challenge turned up during a school project. Xia’s team needed to design a poster
about climate solutions. While her British teammates freely debated (辩论) ideas, Xia hesitated
(犹 豫 ) to disagree with others, remembering her teachers’ advice in China: “Group harmony
matters most.” Noticing her silence, the teacher Ms. Wilkins came up to her. “Your opinion is
valuable, Xia. In Britain, respectful debates often lead to better solutions.” Taking a deep breath,
Xia shared her idea of using algae (藻类) to take in carbon dioxide — a concept she’d learned
from her scientist father. The team loved it and won the first prize.
By the trip’s end, Xia had grown bolder. She even taught the Thompsons to make
dumplings, laughing as Mr. Thompson accidentally dropped one on the cat. “Cultural exchange
isn’t about being perfect,” she wrote in her diary. “It’s about listening, adapting (适 应 ), and
finding joy in the messy middle.”

A．To introduce traditional British food. B．To recreate a Shanghai-style breakfast.

It’s always a good thing to have a hobby. For Miss Patty, a school bus driver in Erie
County, her hobby of knitting (编织) has made her really touch the community.
Miss Patty always wanted to do something with her spare time to help the students. After a
conversation with one of the students, things took a turn from knitting one hat to knitting more
hats.
“The one boy gets on the bus, and he goes ‘what are you doing ’ I said, ‘I’m making a hat.
He said, ‘That would be great having such a warm hat in icy winter.’ So I said, ‘What color would
you like ’ That started everything,” Miss Patty told the local newspaper.
Several years have passed since that day, and Miss Patty has already knitted 7, 083 hats for
students in her spare time. Sometimes she will get the student’s favorite color before she begins
the project.
What is more moving is that Miss Patty buys all the materials using her own money. Some
people do give her gift cards around the holidays to help, but she still puts out a lot of her own
money.

praise for being a trusted friend to the students.

Last winter, I volunteered at a nursing home. My task was simple—read newspapers to Mr.
Zhao, a blind retired teacher. At first, I thought it would be boring. But when I mispronounced
“philosophy”, he gently corrected me. That’s how our real communication began.
One rainy afternoon, I found him touching a chessboard. “I used to play with my students,”
he sighed. Suddenly inspired, I suggested teaching him Braille chess. We spent weeks developing
our own system using different textured pieces.
The magic happened during the Spring Festival party. When Mr. Zhao defeated three staff
members in a row using our special chess set, the whole room erupted in cheers. His smile shone
brighter than any decoration.
Now the nursing home has started Braille chess classes. Every time I visit, residents show
me their progress. Mr. Zhao always says, “The best gifts aren’t what we see, but what we help
others to discover.”

My first name was Philip, but when I was a small child, I could only say Pip. So Pip
became my name. I lived in a small village with my sister, who married Joe, the village
blacksmith (铁匠). My parents had died years ago, so I often went to visit the churchyard to look
at their names on their gravestones (墓碑).
One cold afternoon, I sat on a gravestone in that churchyard, listening to the sound of the
sea.
“Don’t say a word!” cried a voice, as a man jumped up and caught me. “If you shout, I’ll
kill you!” He was a big man, with an iron chain (铁链) on his leg. He looked tired, and hungry. I
had never been so scared in my whole life.
“Oh! Don’t kill me, sir!”
“Tell me your name, boy!” he said, still holding me. “And show me where you live!”
“My name’s Pip, sir. And I live in the village over there.”
He picked me up and turned me upside down. A piece of old bread fell out of my pocket.
He ate it like a dog.
“So where are your parents ” he asked.
“There, sir,” I answered, pointing to their graves.
“What!” he cried, and wanted to run, when he saw where I was pointing. “Oh!” he said.
“They’re dead. Well, who do you live with ”
“With my sister, sir, wife of the blacksmith.”
“Blacksmith, you say ” And he looked down at his leg. Then he held me and looked down
into my eyes.
“Now look here. You bring me a file and some food to me tomorrow morning. If you don’t,
or if you tell anyone about me, I’ll cut your heart out.”
“I promise I’ll do it, sir,” my body was shaking.
“You see,” he continued, “I travel with a friend, who likes eating boys’ hearts. Wherever
you are, we’ll find you.”
As soon as he turned, I ran home as fast as I could.

sociologist, cross-cultural（跨文化）communicator, and winner of the Chinese Government’s
Friendship Award.
The 73-year-old man is perhaps best known among the Chinese public for writing
American country music-style songs about China. Levine often sings and plays the guitar. He has
staged hundreds of performances in 15 provinces, including on TV and on the Great Wall.
His performances were attended by over 40,000 people. His songs are about such themes as
China’s trains, ethnic legends and the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Several focus on such disasters as
the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, floods and COVID-19. If people can listen to these songs, they
will better understand China and be more willing to visit.
His latest song, The Future Is Very Bright AheadLed by the CPC, celebrates the 100th
anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. It talks about the history and the
progress in China that has been made under the leadership of the CPC．
China helped Mark, and Mark also helped China. He tells stories with his songs and sings
them with his heart. He hopes he can sing China’s stories to the world. And he hopes that China’s
goal of building a community of shared future for man kind will become a common goal for the
world.

One day, a train was approaching the small town of Cheekyville. On the train was a strange
guy with a big suitcase. He was called William Warbler and he looked very common indeed. What
made him weird, though, was the fact that whenever he needed to communicate he did it by
singing opera. It didn’t matter to William whether it was simply a matter of answering a brief
greeting, like “good day”. He would clear his voice and respond,
“Gooood dayyy to youuuuuuuu… toooooo!”
It wouldn’t be unfair to say that almost everyone considered William Warbler a massive
pain in the neck. No one could get a normal, spoken word out of him. They made fun of his
singing, calling him “Don No One”, “Poor-Rotti”, and “Lazy Miserables”.
William had been in Cheekyville for some years, when, one day, news spread round town
like wildfire: William had got a role in a very important opera in the nation’s capital, and there
were posters everywhere advertising the event. Everyone in the capital went to see it, and it was a
great success. At the end of its run—to everyone in Cheekyville’s surprise —when William was
being interviewed by reporters, he answered their questions by speaking rather than singing. And
he did it with great courtesy (礼仪), and with a clear and pleasant voice.
From that day, William gave up singing at all hours. Now he did it only during his stage
appearances and world tours. Some people wondered why he had changed, but others still had no
idea, and continued believing him to be mad. They wouldn’t have thought so if they had seen what
William kept in his big suitcase. It was a large stone, with a hand-carved message on it.
The message said: “Practise, my boy. Practise every second, for you never know when your
chance will come.”
Little did people realize that he only got the role in the opera because the director had heard
William singing while out buying a newspaper.
