Motuo lies in the south of the Himalayas in Tibet. It is known as the “Natural Museum of Tibet”. It is home to all kinds of mountains, rivers, waterfalls, plants and animals. Its special geographic location makes it a beautiful place. It was one of the hardest places to reach and was the last county in China without a highway.
The construction of the first highway to Motuo started in the 1960s. However, it was not completed until over 50 years later. In 2014, the construction of its second highway – the Paimo Highway – started. In October 2022, the construction of the main body of the highway was completed.
They are great engineering projects. In this area, earthquakes and heavy rains happened very often. There could be falling rocks or even landslides. People must build many walls and nets to protect the two highways. Another challenge was the snow. Plenty of snow sometimes destroyed rocks and roads. As a result, the construction of the highways to Motuo was stopped several times. To solve this problem, people built a tunnel that goes through the mountain area.
The two highways stand for the Chinese spirit of “never giving up”. They are ways to connect Motuo to the outside world and show how China cares about people in the far areas.
1. Where is Motuo?
A. It’s in the south of the Himalayas.
B. It’s in the north of the Himalayas.
C. It’s in the east of the Himalayas.
2. When did the construction of the first highway to Motuo start?
A. In the 1980s. B. In the 1970s. C. In the 1960s.
3. How must people deal with the falling rocks or even landslides according to the passage?
A. People must build a tunnel.
B. People must build a bridge.

4. What do the two highways to Motuo stand for?
A. The Chinese spirit of “being hard-working”.
B. The Chinese spirit of “never giving up”.
