三．阅读理解
During my summer holiday, I go back to my hometown in Guangdong to visit my grandmother. I am surprised and glad to find that she has changed a lot. Grandmother is a simple woman, just like other Chinese countryside women. She used to work from day till night, in the garden or in the fields. She never spent any time on entertainment. Working hard to help the whole family always filled all of her mind. It seemed that she was born for her family; but not for herself.
However, during my visit to her, I find that she has a new life. She begins a life that belongs to her and is full of enjoyment. She joins a country club and she can sing Guangdong Opera with her friends every night there. She even tells me that she is the best singer there and will go to a competition next month! Though hard times leave her with a weak body. I can see her eyes are still
bright.
