Today we are focusing on Zhang Guimei, a Chinese high school principal who has devoted herself to the education of girls in the rural areas of Yunnan Province.

This was no easy task. It took more than five years of untiring perseverance to finally raise the money. In 2008, with the support of the local government,the Huaping Senior High School for Girls was eventually established. This became China’s first public senior high school that provides free education for girls from poor families. un·tir·ing/tireless不知疲劳的,孜孜不倦的,坚持不懈的 With the goal of never letting a girl fall behind, Zhang insists on home visits all year round to talk to parents about the importance of education for girls.Despite her poor health, Zhang has walked to almost every household deep in the mountains, travelling more than 110,000 kilometres. And it is all worthwhile: since its opening, over 2,000 students have graduated from the school. Now in her sixties, Zhang shows no sign of easing up on her mission.

I’m amazed by what she’s done to improve the lives of so many young girls in the rural areas of Yunnan. Jenny: Me too. It’s incredible how selfless people can be. Just like Zhang, there are many other ordinary people whose selfless acts make them truly extraordinary.Wang Jicai and his wife Wang Shihua are just two of them, who dedicated themselves to protecting Kaishan Island. Have you heard of them? Simon: Yes, but I don’t know too much. Kaishan Island is very important to our country, isn’t it? Jenny: Absolutely! It’s a crucial defence station in the Yellow Sea. It must be manned [保卫(防御工事),在...岗位上工作，操作(机器)等 ] at all times. Wang Jicai became the island’s guardian in 1986, when he was only 26. His wife joined him later. Simon: What was life on the island like? Jenny: When they first arrived, there was no electricity, fresh water or home comforts on the island. The conditions were harsh(恶劣的；艰苦的), but Wang and his wife persevered. Simon: What did they do there? Jenny: Every day, they raised the national flag high, rain or shine. They monitored sea and weather conditions, and rescued people at sea. They even reported and helped solve multiple illegal cases, protecting our country from suffering huge financial losses. Simon: Wow, that’s impressive! They were totally committed to protecting not just the island but the whole country in their duties. come rain, come shine/(come) rain or shine不论是雨或是晴；不管发生什么事 Jenny: Exactly. Their actions are a fine example of what ordinary people can do for our country. Sadly, Wang died on duty(以身殉职) after serving our nation for 32 years. But his wife continues to guard the island. Simon: The story of their passion and sacrifice is really inspiring! A3. Zhang Guimei and the Wang couple are inspirational examples of how ordinary people devote themselves to worthwhile causes.

A: And they never gave up. Determination and perseverance are such helpful qualities to have if you want to find the true meaning of life. B: You’re right. I think it’s also essential to be highly motivated about something. Zhang Guimei has been driven by her desire to change the lives of the young girls living in the mountains. A: Yes. Just like the Wang couple, she has a clear mission. She knows what she wants to achieve no matter how much hard work it takes. I think this is something we should all remember when we consider what to do with our own lives. We need to find something we are passionate about and focus our energy on it. B: Exactly. Both the Wang couple and Zhang have devoted their lives to noble causes.In doing so, they have impacted the lives of many others. A: I can’t agree more.

B2.Write an article about the happiest moment in your life. It can be a phase of your life, such as childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age, or a specific event in your life. The happiest moment in my life that comes to mind is the day when I was awarded the first prize in a teenage kite-flying competition. I was thirteen years old then and had been flying kites with my grandfather since I was five. I had a lot of wonderful memories of learning how to fly a kite with him on sunny windy days in the park. I still clearly remember that kite-flying competition. It was extra special because I could show my grandfather that I had learnt his lessons well. I was very nervous because there were many competitors, and I was the youngest contestant. Most kites looked beautiful,with some shaped like animals. The most eye-catching one was a long-tailed red dragon.My kite was a simple colourful diamond-shaped one, but it was special because I had made it myself under the guidance of my grandfather, who was an expert at making champion kites. As the competition went on, competitors slowly dropped out, until it was just my diamond-shaped kite and the red dragon. There was a time when I almost lost my kite in a tree, but luckily it had a narrow escape. After a battle of wits, the red dragon finally died and fell to the ground. I had won! I could not believe it, but my grandfather did—he knew he had taught me well. Winning the kite-flying competition is the happiest moment in my life. It always reminds me how hard work and dedication can lead to success. $
