Some examples are:

(Contrast this with, 'Last year she showed her work in several galleries.')

(Contrast with, 'After he showed me the way, I never felt lost.)
That old story has shown up on the Internet every few months for ten years.
(Contrast with, 'That old story showed up on the Internet again last week.')
