Poverty (贫困) is a big problem around the world. But China has done a good job of dealing with it and it has found its own way to fight poverty. Ordinary (普通的) people play a big role in the fight. Here are two of them.

Zhang Guimei was born in 1957. She has been helping girls pursue (追求) education since she traveled to Yunnan at the age of 17. As a teacher, Zhang was heartbroken when she saw her students leave school after finishing senior high school. They couldn’t go to college because their families couldn’t afford it. So in 2008, Zhang started a free school for poor girls. Since then, she has convinced (说服) lots of parents to send their daughters back to school.

Mao Xianglin is another one. When he started to work, there was only one pathway out of the village for many years. He led more than 100 villagers to build a road with their hands. It took them seven years to build an eight-kilometer road. Mao then encouraged the villagers to grow oranges. Last year, their orange yield (产量) was nearly 40 tons (吨). Young people have retuned to the village to sell oranges online. The per capita income (人均收入) reached 12,670 yuan, 40 times more than in the 1990s.

Over the last few years, 98.9 million people in China have been lifted out of poverty. The people living in the 832 counties (县) and 128,000 villages are no longer in poverty.

What are the cultural differences between China and the West? You may find the answer in Cao Siyu’s comics (漫画).

Cao was born in Beijing, and she left home at 20. She has studied and lived in the US, the UK and France over the past years. Cao had seen so many cultures. She wanted to use her design skills to show the differences that she had experienced. So she started drawing Tiny Eyes Comics.

“My experience shows that although travel is much easier and faster today, the distance between cultures doesn’t shorten,” Cao said. Using her comics, she hopes to build a bridge and break down misunderstandings between different cultures.

For example, one of her comics shows that different countries have different preferences (偏好) for water. Three glasses of water are shown in the comic. The glass of water from the US has ice; the one from France is full of sparkling (起泡的) water and the one from China is steaming.

Many foreign readers say that Cao’s comics help them understand China, while Chinese people living abroad feel that they are seen and understood. Cao says this has been encouraging her to keep drawing.

A. when Tiny Eyes Comics came out

B. why Tiny Eyes Comics was created

C. how Cao dealt with cultural differences

D. what Cao experienced while living abroad

A. The distances between some countries are long.

B. The distances between some countries need to be shortened.

D. People still often misunderstand each other because of cultural differences.

(    ) 33. According to Cao, what might most Americans prefer to drink?

A.  B.  C.  D.

(    ) 34. Cao continues creating comics in order to ________.

A. improve her design skills

B. encourage more people to travel abroad

C. share her personal life in foreign countries

D. make people from different countries understand each other more easily

Dear Sam,

I’m glad to hear from you! First of all, let me tell you why I decided to lose weight. I fell ill easily. Also, it’s not easy for me to do some difficult sports. So I made up my mind to lose weight during the summer holidays.

Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it. To lose weight, I did many things. First, I kept exercising every day. I climbed mountains for an hour in the morning and played basketball for an hour in the afternoon. Second, I went to bed early and got up early every day .Last but not least, I gave up unhealthy eating habits. Finally, I was successful in losing weight. Now I’m healthy and strong. I feel great.

If you have the same problem, why not make a change like me? Do your best and you are sure to be successful.

Yours,

Li Xiang
