WELCOME UNIT Ⅰ.阅读理解 A When Zhi Yueying,then 19,went to the remote Niyang village in Yichun City,Jiangxi Province,to work as a village teacher in 1980,villagers were doubtful if she was going to stay long. Over the past four decades,Zhi has devoted herself to rural education.She is a recipient of Touching China awards that recognize the most inspiring role models in 2016.She was also awarded as a model poverty fighter by the government.Zhi has a profound understanding of the importance of education in the mountains.Over the years,she has taught the students and cared for them,since many of them were “left-behind” children whose parents migrated to other places to work.More than 1,000 students of hers have left the mountain area,and created a better life for themselves. Located amid the mountains,the village was very poor and far from any town.Villagers had to hike in the mountains.“I arrived at the school in an early evening,and was shocked.I had known the conditions were poor,but the reality was worse.” Moreover,local people needed to go downhill to buy daily necessities,and transport them back in their hands or balanced across their shoulders.“I had never walked uphill on a mountain road before,so I walked much more slowly than others;sometimes I walked slowly behind too much and was scared to tears,” says Zhi.Sometimes she had to walk uphill by herself with a flashlight at night.The wild boars and rabbits sometimes frightened her and she enhanced her courage by singing loudly. But she gradually got used to her life there.At the beginning,she found many local people valued their sons far more than their daughters,and would not like to let them attend school.Zhi went to their homes repeatedly and gradually persuaded them to send all their children to school.For those who could not afford the tuition,she spared her own money to help. Zhi says seeing her students do well beyond the mountains is deeply rewarding.“My dream,the same as before,is to stay by the side of more children.I know poverty will forever say goodbye to the mountainous villages,to my students,and to myself,” says Zhi. 1.Why did Zhi choose to stay long in the mountains A.She was a village teacher.
