八下 M2 阅读专项+作文 阅读理解 “What is the meaning of life?” It is a question that I have asked myself many times over the years. The best answer I ever came across was “The meaning of life is to give life meaning.” When I was a young boy, I gave my life meaning by simply playing, running, swimming, laughing, and riding my bike. When I went to school, I gave my life meaning by learning, studying hard, getting good grades and trying to make my mom and dad proud. In college, I found meaning by deciding what I wanted to study and what career (职业) I wanted to prepare. When I was working as a teacher, I found meaning by helping open young minds to new ideas and old wisdom(智慧). When I got married, I found meaning in protecting, providing for, and watching over my wife. And when I found out that both of my sons were born with mental illnesses ( 精神疾病), I found meaning in loving them, caring for them, and learning from them about love, patience (耐心), faith (信念), and joy. As I got older, I began to realize that meaning isn’t something that comes and goes. We are responsible for creating our own meaning. All we have to do is love ourselves and others. It is love that gives life meaning. It is love that makes life worth living. 1 ．It’s ________ for the writer to answer the question “What is the meaning of life?” A ．easy B ．difficult C ．necessary D ．important 2 ．The underlined word “came across” means ________ in Chinese.

Ren Yin, a 27-year-old young woman from Hongcun village in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, is one of them. In 2017, China introduced the rural vitalization strategy (乡村振兴战略). It helps businesses, offers nice places to live and builds community spirit, making life better for people in the countryside. Ren wants to have her own cafe and help her country. In 2021, she left her teaching job, and just one year later, she started a cafe in her village. Her parents weren’t on her side at the beginning. They thought this might not be a good use of her talents. But Ren chose to follow her heart, saying that’s what her generation (一代人) does. Growing up after China’s reform (改革) and opening-up and the one-child policy, Ren and others of her age are very independent. They know they want to follow their dreams, said China Youth Daily. However, starting a cafe is not easy. Ren is thankful for the support from the villagers who helped her find a place for her cafe and improved the roads. To attract more people, she designed her cafe to look different, with a strange shape and served unusual drinks like mountain walnut-flavored lattes (山核桃味拿铁). But Ren knows it’s hard to keep her business going. So she hopes that when the nearby Jingshan Temple (寺庙) becomes a tourist attraction, it will help her cafe and other businesses in the area. Facing the challenges ( 挑 战 ), Ren doesn’t regret moving back to the countryside. “I think many countryside areas in China are like hidden treasures waiting to be found,” she said. 15 ．What’s Ren Yin’s dream? 16 ．Why didn’t Ren Tin’s parents support (支持) her decision at first? 17 ．How did the people in the village support her? 18 ．What can you learn from Ren Yin’s experiences?
