2023年山东省枣庄市中考 - 阅读理解A

The thing that I really miss most is playing with my friends. We were a big group of around 15 friends or more. We usually played balls in the parking lot. Our neighbors often talked about our faults because sometimes the ball hit the cars or broke the street lights, most of the time we shouted too loudly and made them annoyed.
我最怀念的是和朋友们一起玩。我们一群大约15个朋友或更多，通常在停车场打球。我们的邻居经常说我们的不是，因为有时球会撞到汽车或打破路灯，大多数时候我们喊得太大声，让他们恼火。

We played every day from about 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.. After that, we went back home to take a shower, have dinner and then met again. In the evening, we talked about many different topics such as collecting stamps, fishing, cartoons, popular film stars. Even though some of us had a different opinion about something sometimes, we never had an angry argument with each other.
我们每天下午4点到6点玩。之后，我们回家洗澡，吃晚饭，然后再见面。晚上，我们聊了很多不同的话题，比如集邮、钓鱼、漫画、流行电影明星。尽管我们中的一些人有时对某事有不同的看法，但我们从未发生过愤怒的争吵。

A few years later, we stopped playing because we grew up. We didn’t have enough time to do things together. Some of us started college, others got married or moved away. The group started to be smaller and smaller. Sometimes we didn’t see each other for a long time.
几年后，我们停止了玩耍，因为我们长大了。我们没有足够的时间一起做事情。我们中的一些人开始上大学，另一些人结婚或搬走了。这个群体开始变得越来越小。有时我们很久没见面了。

Nowadays, I don’t hear from them. I wish I could meet them again to remember all those good times that we had in our childhood.
如今，我没有他们的消息。我希望我能再次见到他们，记住我们童年的所有美好时光。
