Did you look out of a window today Many glass factories make windows. They mix old and new glass together for this. Machines heat the sand mixture to a very high temperature. Then they pour the melted glass into a tray (托盤). This tray moves between rollers to make the glass flat. The trays make the glass into a window shape. It is slowly heated and cooled more than one time to make it stronger. It is very hot in a glass factory. People can’t work there, but machines can. Machines do much of the work in making windows because the heat does not hurt them.
A machine can also be used to make glass bottles. It melts glass and puts it into a mold in the shape of a bottle. Air goes into an opening in the bottle shape. Then the glass cools and becomes hard.

Glass bottles are very helpful, they are often used everywhere to hold drinks and food. They are good for storing things so that we use all of the time.

（23-24九年級上·陜西西安·期中） Popcorn has been connected with cinemas and films for as long as we can remember. But where did this connection begin and will it continue
Popcorn became a popular snack in North America in the 19th century and was sold at entertainment sites (娛樂場所). Popcorn had a delicious smell when popped and this made many people buy it.

Yet, some people suggest that popcorn in cinemas may disappear someday. In recent years, luxury (豪華) cinemas have become increasingly popular.

（23-24九年級上·山東棗莊·期中）Many Chinese people may know what presents to get for their moms on Mother’s Day, but not many know Mother’s Day is actually a festival from abroad.
Mother’s Day first appeared in the United States during the early 20th century. The festival spread to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted.
Why did a foreign festival become popular in China In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged to show our deep love to parents. There are many stories which show children’s respect (尊敬) in ancient China. For example, “mother love” is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems, like Song of the Parting Son by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks. Children in China are brought up with the education of thanking our parents.
On special days, people often use roses or forget-me-nots to express love. Carnations (康乃馨) are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own flower for mothers—the tiger lily.
Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the festival itself. What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children.

（23-24九年級上·陜西西安·期中） Popcorn has been connected with cinemas and films for as long as we can remember. But where did this connection begin and will it continue
Popcorn became a popular snack in North America in the 19th century and was sold at entertainment sites (娛樂場所). Popcorn had a delicious smell when popped and this made many people buy it.
Popcorn was not sold inside the cinemas at first. Cinema owners wanted to protect the expensive carpets (地毯) that they had put in their cinemas. They were also worried that the sound of people eating snacks would affect (影響) other people. So, salesmen set up popcorn machines outside the cinemas.
As more and more people began buying popcorn on their way into the cinema, cinema owners started to understand that they could make money from the popular snack. As a result, they decided to allow the salesmen to pay to sell popcorn in the cinema. Finally, cinemas began selling snacks themselves.
Today popcorn is still important to cinemas. Because popcorn is so cheap to make, cinemas make a lot of money on every box they sell. Yet, some people suggest that popcorn in cinemas may disappear someday. In recent years, luxury (豪華) cinemas have become increasingly popular. These cinemas try to give people a more enjoyable experience by serving different kinds of food.

（23-24九年級上·山東棗莊·期中）Many Chinese people may know what presents to get for their moms on Mother’s Day, but not many know Mother’s Day is actually a festival from abroad.
Mother’s Day first appeared in the United States during the early 20th century. The festival spread to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted.
Why did a foreign festival become popular in China In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged to show our deep love to parents. There are many stories which show children’s respect (尊敬) in ancient China. For example, “mother love” is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems, like Song of the Parting Son by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks. Children in China are brought up with the education of thanking our parents.
On special days, people often use roses or forget-me-nots to express love. Carnations (康乃馨) are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own flower for mothers—the tiger lily.
