3. Hou Changliang, 37, was a volunteer teacher from Hunan. After graduating from college in 2011, Hou has been teaching in rural schools in Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan until now.
Starting from 2018, Hou posted pictures of his everyday life with students on the video-sharing platform Douyin. The videos have got more than 7.3 million likes. Recently, his story has made national headlines, reported China Daily. What’s the most important thing to help develop rural education? With first-hand experience, Hou would say it’s not buying new books or desks, but a change of mindset.
For example, for two years, he had to fight the drop-out rate of his students in Guangxi, reported CGTN. Local people often saw little reason to support their children’s education, especially the education of girls. Once he had to spend hours persuading (说服) a girl’s father to let her finish nine years of free compulsory (义务的) education.
Hou also encouraged rural students to understand and love their hometown. “Only in this way will they care about its future and that of its people,” he said. He realized that textbooks sometimes focus too much on city life and rarely include scenes of rural life. “As rural students look up to the city life shown in textbooks, they may just want to go away from home,” he said.
So he sometimes included images of rural life in his teaching materials. He also turned farming work such as collecting bamboo shoots into topics for writing tasks and math problems. He wanted the young people to feel proud of their villages.
“They need to leave the mountains and see a larger world, but they are also the hope of rural areas,” said Hou.
1. How many years has Hou taught in rural schools?
A．10 years. B．4 years. C．25 years. D．12 years.
2. Why did Hou spend a long time bringing the girl back to school to finish her compulsory education?
A．Because the girl’s father paid more attention to the boy’s education.
B．Because the girl wanted to go back to school.
C．Because Hou aimed at supporting children’s education.
D．Because local people didn’t care about children’s education at all.
3. What did Hou do to let his students understand and love their hometown?
A．They collected bamboo shoots.
B．They read articles about rural life in their textbooks.
C．They went outside to experience city life.
D．They solved math problems about farming work.
4. Which word can be used to describe Hou?
A．Careful. B．Devoted. C．Energetic. D．Cheerful.
5. Where can you probably read the passage?
A．In a newspaper. B．In a science magazine.
C．In an advertisement. D．In a storybook.
4. The spacecraft ShenzhouXIII carried Chinese astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu to space. Many people may want to know about the three Chinese astronauts’ life in space. In fact, they could do many of the things as we do on Earth.
They brushed their teeth, washed their hair and went to the bathroom. However, because of the microgravity（失重）environment, they tended themselves in different ways. They washed their hair by using the no-rinse shampoo（免冲洗洗发剂）because there were no real showers in the spaceship.
Astronauts ate three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. But how much they ate depended on themselves. There were many kinds of food, such as fruits, nuts, chicken, beef and sea-food. They could also drink coffee, tea and orange juice.
Astronauts could have much fun too. They enjoyed wonderful sunrise which happened every 90 minutes. Astronauts could even spend weekends. They watched movies, played music, read books and talked to their families.
After a long day at work, nothing was better than a good night’s sleep. Astronauts had to sleep in sleeping bags in special cabins. Usually, astronauts were planned to have eight hours of sleep. Like on Earth, they might wake up in the middle of their sleep to use the toilet. And astronauts also had dreams.
1. Which question does Paragraph I answer?
A．Who is the best astronaut in China?
B．Why did the astronauts go to space?
C．When did the spacecraft ShenzhouXIII go to space?
D．How many Chinese astronauts went to space by ShenzhouXIII?
