Huang and his wife lived in a village. After he retired in the 1970s, Huang had a lot of free time. He started painting lovely animals and people on the walls of his house for fun. Later, his neighbors asked him to paint their houses, too. Huang’s paint brush brought a second “life” to the houses in the village.
In 1998, the village was to be pulled down because many villagers had left. In order to save it, Huang decided to paint every street in the village. The old man covered every wall and door with joyful colors.
In 2010, some university students happened to pass by the village. They were moved by Huang’s cute and wonderful artwork. These students then started the “Save Rainbow (彩虹) Village” campaign (运动). This campaign was a success and the area was kept as an art park. Huang himself began to be known as “Grandpa Rainbow”.
Now, Rainbow Village has become a famous travel place. It brought a happy feeling to those who live in it. Grandpa Rainbow, now 98 years old, and his wife are still living there.

Fights at school sometimes happen. But how can you keep away from a fight? Here s something you can do.
Be calm (冷静). Sometimes you feel so angry that you really want to teach somebody a lesson. But being angry can’t solve problems. Neither can a fight. Instead, it may bring you more problems. In the school, everyone involved (卷入) in a fight will be punished (惩罚).
Shout loudly. If you know someone is coming up behind you to attack (攻击), turn and face the person with your hands in front of your body and loudly say “stop” before walking away. Loud voice can usually make the attacker calm down. If the person doesn’t stop, cry for help by calling out the name of a teacher whose office is nearby.
Learn to refuse. Your friend may ask you to join a fight. Learn to say no. Helping him fight is not really helpful to him. If you really want to help him, try to ask him to give it up. Also, you can tell him if he gets involved in a fight, try to learn why he wants a fight and help him find a right way to deal with the problem.
14. When you are angry and want to work out the problem, what should you do?

If your hometown were to be pulled down (拆掉) and rebuilt one day, would you miss it? And what could you do for it? Retired soldier (退役军人) Huang Yongfu gave his answer.
Huang and his wife lived in a village. After he retired in the 1970s, Huang had a lot of free time. He started painting lovely animals and people on the walls of his house for fun. Later, his neighbors asked him to paint their houses, too. Huang’s paint brush brought a second “life” to the houses in the village.
In 1998, the village was to be pulled down because many villagers had left. In order to save it, Huang decided to paint every street in the village. The old man covered every wall and door with joyful colors.
In 2010, some university students happened to pass by the village. They were moved by Huang’s cute and wonderful artwork. These students then started the “Save Rainbow (彩虹) Village” campaign (运动). This campaign was a success and the area was kept as an art park. Huang himself began to be known as “Grandpa Rainbow”.
Now Rainbow Village has become a famous travel place. It brought a happy feeling to those who live in it. Grandpa Rainbow, now 98 years old, and his wife are still living there. It’s said that he wakes up every morning at 4 a.m. to work on maintaining (维护) his artwork. Visitors often meet him and take photos with him.
1. What did Huang Yongfu use to be?
2. What did he do after retiring in the 1970s?
3. Why did he paint every street in the village in 1998?
4. How did the university students help to keep the village? Was it a success?
