Zhang comes from a farming family in Longxi County, Gansu Province. When she was a child, she knew it was difficult to sell farm products for villagers in her hometown. So after finishing college in 2019, she returned to Longxi County to help villagers sell agricultural products online. The first step is always difficult. At first, Zhang didn't know how to show products and felt nervous when answering questions from her fans. She was even made fun of(被嘲笑) for being fat. “It is not a problem for me, as long as I can help sell the farm products,” she said. As time went by, Zhang did better and better. At first, she only sold potato noodles. To help more villagers, she decided to sell other Gansu agricultural products like apples and strawberries. However, because she looked young, some villagers didn't believe she could sell their products online. But Zhang didn't give up. Finally, Zhang won the trust of the villagers. Zhang has helped Gansu farmers sell 1.5 million kilograms of products over the past three years and got about 300, 000 orders last year alone. “I enjoy the feeling of success from helping villagers,” Zhang said. “I'll work harder to help them live a much better life.” ( ) 24.

Zhang Mingxia succeeded in helping villagers. C. Zhang Mingxia is the best online seller in Gansu. C Yesterday, Mrs. Jones asked us a question: What's the most important gift you have had? All of us shared a story of our gifts. And the story of Leon's gift touched my heart. Leon said the most important gift he ever had was a CD. It was a CD of all the songs from a popular movie. His sister gave it to him when he was 12 years old. He got into the music as soon as he heard it. He felt like he found something he had lost before. After that, he began listening to more music. Music has changed Leon in many ways. Before he got into music, he never liked changes. If he was at a restaurant, he would only order the dishes that he was familiar with(熟悉 ). He would not try new things. But music has made him someone completely different. He listens to different kinds of music. That opens his eyes and changes his attitude (态度) to other things. He now is willing to try new things. He also finds music a way to show his feelings. He had a hard time speaking up about how he felt. Now, he learns to write his music. He shows his life in his work. Leon thinks that he is lucky enough to get into music. I think that Leon's gift is very meaningful. It has led a young boy to a more open and colorful world. And Leon is a brave boy. He dares (敢于) to change himself. ( ) 28. Who gave a CD to Leon? A. His teacher. B. His sister. C. His parents. 第 4 页 共 6 页 ( ) 29.
