Ayi is a 22-year-old girl from Kashgar, Xinjiang. She became well-known in a new season of the TV programme, which tells people how young people build their careers after leaving school.The programme followed 12 students who studied Traditional Chinese Medicine.(TCM). As the youngest one, Ayi at first was unnoticed. By the end of the season, however, she surprised all with her great progress.

Ayi was not from a family of doctors. Her earliest interest in traditional medicine was awakened in her old town. In that place, people believed mutton soup cured illness faster than seeing doctors in hospital. When her grandmother died of illness, she realized good doctors are needed in this place. That was when she decided to become one to serve the people there.

In 2018, thanks to an education program for Xinjiang middle school students, Ayi had a chance to study in a Shenzhen high school. Three years later, she was accepted by Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine.

However, the road to becoming a TCM doctor was never easy. For her, it's especially difficult to understand ancient Chinese medical books.“Terms(术语), like yin and yang, were totally a new way of thinking. So I was always half a step behind my classmates,” Ayi said. To catch up, she put in more time and developed a study method of her own. Along with her schoolwork, Ayi got practical experience by taking part in more than 13 volunteer activities.

Ayi's greatest dream is to return to Xinjiang and use her TCM knowledge to serve local people.“Back in Kashgar,I know many people don't look for medical care, so I believe it's deeply meaningful to use TCM, which is simple, cheap and works well,” Ayi said.

5. Why did Ayi become famous in the TV programme?

A. Because she made great progress. B. Because she learned TCM by herself.

C. Because she is the youngest one. D. Because she got best scores in the school.

A. The dream of her family. B. The medical needs in her hometown.

C. The advice from her grandmother. D. The visit to the local hospital.

A. Honest. B. Friendly. C. Hard-working. D. Humorous.

The Great Wall of China is one of the most famous buildings in the world. It was built thousands of years ago to protect ancient China from enemies. Even today, scientists and historians are still trying to work out many mysteries of this great building.

One of the biggest mysteries is how ancient Chinese built the wall without modern machines.The longest part, the Wall of the Qin Dynasty, is made of millions of stone blocks. How did people move such heavy stones without machines? Some experts believe the workers used large ramps(斜坡) made of sand and mud(泥土) to push the stones into place. But no one knows for sure.

Another question is about the design of the Great Wall. It runs perfectly along the mountains.For example, the watchtowers(瞭望塔) are placed at key points to warn of enemies. How did ancient Chinese do all this successfully without compasses(指南针) or computers? This remains a mystery.
