高一英语限时训练 (2) 王兴 I. 阅读理解 A In 2020, when doing COVID relief (救济) work, Surabhi Yadav came across 19-year-old Phula in Bihar, who wanted to study — something no one else around her was interested in. Each day at noon, Surabhi would get on a phone with Phula and four other girls, none of whom even had an Internet connection at home, to teach them skills, like emailing, finding jobs, networking, and more. Soon after, Surabhi started Sajhe Sapne with a residential (提供住宿的) campus in Himachal Pradesh, a social organization where girls are given education and all-round development to enter the workforce. All 25 girls in their first class had jobs after graduation, with a monthly salary of at least 15,000 rupees (about $180). While a few tried hard not to lose their jobs, Sajhe Sapne put a sense of confidence and resilience (适应力) in their heads. “Nobody has stopped trying, this I can promise,” Surabhi said. Anjali from Rajasthan, a state in northwestern India, studied till Class 12 and started pursuing her BA (攻读学士学位). Along with that, she also started the course at Sajhe Sapne. Anjali said, “After the nine-month course, I got a job as a field researcher. It’s often hard for girls in villages to get a job after a nine-month course. But that’s what is happening at Sajhe Sapne after the course.” Sajhe Sapne started with a clear picture. Surabhi expected a place where girls can ask questions, play, teach, and learn. Just as primary health centers take care of the body, such a place would work on the heart and mind. She calls these spaces “Sapna Centers”. “These are centers where they can learn, laugh, create, and find growth opportunities(机会) for themselves.” Surabhi hopes to set up “Sapna Centers” in every village of the country, making them a part of village life. “We want to make it a usual situation that a girl is creating strategies in a big office. We want to make sure that they have a choice about where they want to grow.” 1. What do we know about Ph
