2023年黑龙江省鸡西市中考 – 阅读理解E

My name is Bob. Many people ask me what my favorite invention is. I find it very hard to answer the question, because there are so many things in my life that I can choose. However, I have chosen a pen. Don’t you think it’s surprising?
我的名字叫鲍勃。很多人问我最喜欢的发明是什么，我发现很难回答这个问题，因为在我的生活中有很多事情我可以选择。然而，我选择了笔。你不觉得这很奇怪吗？

To most people, a pen is very boring, but to me, it stands for possibility. There are so many things you can do with a pen. You can write a novel or a song, record information, or draw a picture.
对大多数人来说，笔很无聊，但对我来说，它代表着可能性。你可以用笔做很多事情。你可以写一本小说或一首歌，记录信息，或者画画。

A pen is like the beginning of something amazing to me. Every day, I write a new page with my pen, and I am slowly making a path for my future. Maybe I will be a scientist and change the world with my discoveries. Maybe I’ll become a musician and touch people’s hearts with my music. Or perhaps I will be a writer and move people through words.
对我来说，笔就像是一件令人惊叹的事情的开始。每天，我都用我的笔写下新的一页，为我的未来慢慢开辟一条道路。也许我会成为一名科学家，用我的发现改变世界。也许我会成为一名音乐家，用我的音乐打动人心。或者，也许我会成为一名作家，通过文字感动人们。

There are so many possibilities as to what I will do with my life in the future, but I know that with the pen in my hand, I will write a good future for myself. Tell me what future you will write for yourself.
我未来的生活有很多可能性，但我知道，用手中的笔，为自己书写一个美好的未来。告诉我你会为自己书写什么样的未来。
