It can burn trees, houses, animals or people. Sometimes big fire can burn forests. Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting stories about the first time a man or a woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope (绳子) and brought fire down. Today people know how to make a fire with matches. Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous.

One day, Confucius (孔子) led his students to the State of Chu. When crossing a large forest, they saw an old man standing under a tree, catching cicadas (蝉) with a bamboo stick. Confucius said, “You’re very good at catching cicadas. You must have some s_1_ skills.” “That’s right!” the old man answered. “The cicada is a little clever insect. If they hear the noise of the leaves in the wind, they will f_2_ away. Therefore, people who want to catch cicadas must train their hands to hold a bamboo stick without shaking. If you can place three pellets (弹珠) on top of the bamboo stick and they don’t fall off, you might be able to catch cicadas; when five pellets are placed on top without falling off, catching cicadas is as e_3_ as picking a ball up from the ground.” He then added, “But that is not enough. People must be good at hiding t_4_. Right now, I’m standing under a tree like half of a tree stump (树桩). Last of all, one must be attentive (专心的). When I’m catching cicadas, I only see their wings.

Chen Beier, a reporter and TV presenter from Hong Kong, was on her way to a small village called Atule’er. The small village sits at the top of an 800-metre-high cliff(悬崖). People can only get up to it by climbing a 2.556-step steel ladder (钢梯). It is very dangerous. So, was Chen looking for adventure there? The answer is no. The famous presenter was, instead, making a documentary (纪录片). In February 2021, China reached an important goal. It got rid of poverty (摆脱了贫困). Many people couldn’t believe this. In order to show the truth to people, Chen set out to make No Poverty Land. The trip turned out to be hard. When she was halfway up the ladder to Atule’er, for example, Chen felt so tired that she could hardly go any further. The villagers advised her to stop the climb, but the woman continued her climb. This steel ladder, in fact, is only six years old. Before it was built, the villagers had to face even bigger danger and use a rattan (藤条) ladder. The government has also built houses for the villagers at the foot of the mountain. Through No Poverty Land, people can easily see how life in poor areas of China has been improved. China has changed a lot, but some people just find it hard to believe. Now, Chen has shown us what we can do about that: Don’t just tell people about the great changes; show them when you can. Answer the questions. 1. Who is Chen Beier? _ 2. Where is the small village Atule’er? _ 3. Why did Chen make the documentary No Poverty Land? _ 4. How did Chen feel about climbing up the ladder? _ 5.
