In fact, I didn’t like going there before because it was really small and dirty there. Many people think the air in the village is usually better than that in the city. But I don’t think the same is true of my grandparents’ village because there is a small paper factory there. The air there was even worse.

Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often the whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains had been their favourite relatives. This was the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved by them. I had always travelled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly enjoy the long train journey and had brought along a dozen newspapers and magazines to read and reread. It was not long before the train was rattling across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Bahru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately, I came alive and decided to wave back. From then on, my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I had been looking at it for the first time. The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 p.m. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. I looked forward to the return journey, by train. 1．What did the children do when the train passed their homes? 2．How had the writer travelled to Malaysia before? 3．What did the writer take with him on the long train journey? 4．When did the writer watch the straight rows of rubber trees? 5．The writer would return by train, wouldn’t he? 6．What did you do on your journey when you travelled? （23-24八年级上·上海普陀·期末）Answer the following questions according to the passage (根据短文内容回答下列问题). I was particularly impressed by the time there was a hailstorm when I was a child, and my family had an apple orchard. The income of a year is actually the income of the orchard. Apples were cheap, a few cents a catty. After receiving them every year, they should be covered with plastic paper to prevent freezing, waiting for customers to collect. After the storm, all the apples fell to the ground. One was as big as a child’s fist, but it was too sour to eat. For the rural family at that time, it was almost a disaster, because the annual income of my grandparents was that orchard. At that time we were very uncomfortable, we were very worried, worried that grandma will not be a big blow, but the old woman appeared unusually calm. Later, when I read Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea, I saw the same spirit, I do not know whether it is blunt force (钝性创伤) or her inner strength, in short, she did not react particularly big. She went to the orchard, after the hail, the hail turned a layer of mud, she knelt in the mud, picked up the apple, wiped off the mud with a rag, put it in a bag, loaded with 10 bags, ruined a lot, the countryside with a wooden frame car, pull back and eat, acid and acerbity, gave it to those who raise livestock in the village, to pigs, cattle and sheep to eat. The rest were stuffed into jars, making many jars of apple cider vinegar, and that summer, every meal in our house was filled with the sweetness and clarity of apple cider vinegar. Life is not desperate, desperate is the state of mind. That was the best lesson I ever had in my childhood about endurance and resilience. Until now, when I see my grandmother, I feel that she has a kind of pale power of language, which is about the first particularly profound education I got in my life in the family. Growth is a moment. —Taken from Dong Yuhui’s speech in Tsinghua University 1．The result of a hailstorm is a disaster for a rural family, isn’t it? 2．What was the reaction of grandma after the hailstorm? 3．How did the family deal with the 10 bags of apples? 4．Why did Dong Yuhui mention Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea? 5．What can you learn from his grandmother?

I was particularly impressed by the time there was a hailstorm when I was a child, and my family had an apple orchard. The income of a year is actually the income of the orchard. Apples were cheap, a few cents a catty. After receiving them every year, they should be covered with plastic paper to prevent freezing, waiting for customers to collect. After the storm, all the apples fell to the ground. One was as big as a child’s fist, but it was too sour to eat. For the rural family at that time, it was almost a disaster, because the annual income of my grandparents was that orchard. At that time we were very uncomfortable, we were very worried, worried that grandma will not be a big blow, but the old woman appeared unusually calm. Later, when I read Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea, I saw the same spirit, I do not know whether it is blunt force (钝性创伤) or her inner strength, in short, she did not react particularly big. She went to the orchard, after the hail, the hail turned a layer of mud, she knelt in the mud, picked up the apple, wiped off the mud with a rag, put it in a bag, loaded with 10 bags, ruined a lot, the countryside with a wooden frame car, pull back and eat, acid and acerbity, gave it to those who raise livestock in the village, to pigs, cattle and sheep to eat. The rest were stuffed into jars, making many jars of apple cider vinegar, and that summer, every meal in our house was filled with the sweetness and clarity of apple cider vinegar. Life is not desperate, desperate is the state of mind. That was the best lesson I ever had in my childhood about endurance and resilience. Until now, when I see my grandmother, I feel that she has a kind of pale power of language, which is about the first particularly profound education I got in my life in the family. Growth is a moment. —Taken from Dong Yuhui’s speech in Tsinghua University 1．The result of a hailstorm is a disaster for a rural family, isn’t it? 2．What was the reaction of grandma after the hailstorm? 3．How did the family deal with the 10 bags of apples? 4．Why did Dong Yuhui mention Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea? 5．What can you learn from his grandmother?
