人教 PEP 版英语小升初专项达标训练阅读 (家乡变化部分)
When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals and other projects began to be built in my village, “Who are they ” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied.
Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project (水利工程) was completed, a policy (政策) was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.
Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside.

I used to live in a small town with trees all around. It is about thirty years since I left my hometown. But I still remember what it was exactly like. And I often “see” it in many of my dreams. My hometown is a beautiful place. It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice.
But in the old days it was a poor and backward (落后的) little town. Many people had no work. They lived a hard life. There was no tall building and the only street was narrow. But trees and flowers made the town beautiful. Just outside the town, there was a river. You could see different kinds of fish swimming in the clear water. People here lived a simple life.
Since a new policy (政策) was taken by the government, great changes have taken place there. The streets have been widened. Factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and theatres have been built one after another. People’s life is greatly improved. You can see tall buildings, big department stores and factories everywhere. Different kinds of cars and buses are running in the wide streets.
But with the development of the industry (工业), we have fewer trees.Air and water pollution is becoming more and more serious. And there are also other problems. We should try our best to make it richer. At the same time, we must do something to stop pollution and make our town even more beautiful.

Curt McArdle, a vlogger（视频博主）, 26, began to live in Inner Mongolia（内蒙古）five years ago. He teaches English in Hohhot（呼和浩特）. In his free time, he likes travelling to villages near Hohhot and sharing his travelling on YouTube.
McArdle recorded（记录）the big changes in those villages during his travelling over the years. The old roads in the villages become much better now. There are also two subway lines in Hohhot in the last two years.

There’s 5G everywhere, so I can use the map on my phone to get around the city. But there was nothing when I first went there,” says McArdle. In some villages, villagers told him that they could make more money. Because it’s easier to get here, more visitors came into their hometown for a visit.

In the past, 398 residents (居民）in the village of Ushkaplun in Xinjiang had difficulty in getting safe drinking water. They had to walk along the mountain road for two hours to the nearest water source. The water was not clean. They used only gauze (纱布）to filter the water. It was not a strange thing for the residents in the village to fall sick after drinking the water.
Now, however, all the villagers can enjoy clean drinking water straight from the tap at home. Taking a shower used to be something of a luxury (奢侈）, but now the villagers can enjoy one every day. The tap water has made their lives much more convenient.
The change happened in 2018. The local government spent almost 9 million yuan building a project to provide water for the village. It took water from a spring (泉) at an altitude of 3,500 meters. There were huge difficulties in building the project because large machines could not enter the area. The workers had to depend on horses to move materials in. Sometimes, they had to carry materials themselves.
This was one of many projects to provide clean drinking water for the residents in the countryside. Before 2020, in southern Xinjiang alone, the residents in 67 villages couldn’t use tap water. To supply them with safe drinking waters the workers had to overcome lots of difficulties. First of all, there was no suitable local water source because the water there wasn’t fit for drinking. After a long period of surveying and researching, they decided to get water from more than 100 kilometers away to meet the needs of the 470.000 residents in Payzawat .
The great project began in May 2019. and on May 20, 2020, the last part of the project was completed. A time of safe drinking water began for the residents in the area. More than 90 percent of the residents in the countryside now use tap water, up from 71 percent in 2015.

Xuwen, a small town in the south of Guangdong, is called the “hometown of pineapples (菠萝)” in China. One in three pineapples sold in the country comes from this place. There, farmers produced nearly 700,000 tonnes of pineapples in 2021. But what makes Xuwen so successful
In 2019, the Guangdong government introduced a marketing system for pineapples grown in Xuwen and set up a special working group to make it happen. They called it “12221”, including the following five parts: “one” database of agricultural products (农产品); “two” teams, namely buyers and producers; “two” marketing areas, sales areas and production areas; “two” activities, helping buyers into the production area and agricultural products into the market; and “one” goal—rural vitalization (乡村振兴).
The project sent the fruit to bigger markets by finding buyers and upping the business sense of growers as well as using big data to guide production and sales methods, according to Huang Jiatuan, who’s responsible for agricultural development in Xuwen. “It changed people’s opinions and helped farmers have a better understanding of marketing,” said Liu Yicun, who used to work at the Xuwen government.
Pineapples have also attracted people from around the country to visit Xuwen, helping the development of the local tourism industry. “Much like film locations became a calling card for different cities. The local food plays an important part when young tourists choose where to go.” said Feng Rao, director of Mafengwo. It’s common for young travelers, especially those born in the 1990s and 2000s to go on journeys so they can taste new flavors.

Curt McArdle, a vlogger（视频博主）, 26, began to live in Inner Mongolia（内蒙古）five years ago. He teaches English in Hohhot（呼和浩特）. In his free time, he likes travelling to villages near Hohhot and sharing his travelling on YouTube.
McArdle recorded（记录）the big changes in those villages during his travelling over the years. The old roads in the villages become much better now. There are also two subway lines in Hohhot in the last two years.
“________ You can go to restaurants to buy food. You can go to the park to relax. You can buy everything with WeChat or Alipay. There’s 5G everywhere, so I can use the map on my phone to get around the city. But there was nothing when I first went there,” says McArdle. In some villages, villagers told him that they could make more money. Because it’s easier to get here, more visitors came into their hometown for a visit.
McArdle thinks it’s China’s efforts in poverty alleviation（扶贫努力）that make these changes happen in Hohhot’s countryside. He hopes to go on showing the real China to the world and help the countryside become better in his own way.

The other day Roy Price went “home” to his sister’s house. It’s her home now; but it’s also the house he was born in. Pat, his sister kissed him and said, “You haven’t changed much, Roy. Let me see, now—when did we meet last ”
“Twenty-five years ago,” he answered. “I came here for a week, do you remember ” He added, “You haven’t changed much either.” It was polite for Roy to say so, but it wasn’t true. His sister seemed almost an old lady.
The next morning Roy walked through the village alone. The place looked very different. There were lots of traffic signs on the roads and beside the roads. There was a new car park, a new post office and a new bus stop. The railway station was gone! The school was gone. A lot of farm machinery stood in the playground!
But Roy’s biggest surprise was the people. He didn’t recognize(认出) anybody at all; perhaps because everyone seemed old. He went into the post office and bought some stamps. “Where are all the children and young people ” He asked the postmaster.
The old man looked up from his book of stamps. “Children ” he said. “They’re in school, of course. The children have gone to school by bus—to Horham.”

When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canal (水渠) and other projects began to be built in my village, “Who are they ” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma answered.
Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project (水利工程) was completed, a policy was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.
Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of out countryside. Nowadays, people work hard to live in a big city. However, we should not forget our hometowns where we are from.

In the past, 398 residents (居民）in the village of Ushkaplun in Xinjiang had difficulty in getting safe drinking water. They had to walk along the mountain road for two hours to the nearest water source. The water was not clean. They used only gauze (纱布）to filter the water. It was not a strange thing for the residents in the village to fall sick after drinking the water.
Now, however, all the villagers can enjoy clean drinking water straight from the tap at home. Taking a shower used to be something of a luxury (奢侈）, but now the villagers can enjoy one every day. The tap water has made their lives much more convenient.
The change happened in 2018. The local government spent almost 9 million yuan building a project to provide water for the village. It took water from a spring (泉) at an altitude of 3,500 meters. There were huge difficulties in building the project because large machines could not enter the area. The workers had to depend on horses to move materials in. Sometimes, they had to carry materials themselves.
This was one of many projects to provide clean drinking water for the residents in the countryside. Before 2020, in southern Xinjiang alone, the residents in 67 villages couldn’t use tap water. To supply them with safe drinking waters the workers had to overcome lots of difficulties. First of all, there was no suitable local water source because the water there wasn’t fit for drinking. After a long period of surveying and researching, they decided to get water from more than 100 kilometers away to meet the needs of the 470.000 residents in Payzawat .
The great project began in May 2019. and on May 20, 2020, the last part of the project was completed. A time of safe drinking water began for the residents in the area. More than 90 percent of the residents in the countryside now use tap water, up from 71 percent in 2015.

Xuwen, a small town in the south of Guangdong, is called the “hometown of pineapples (菠萝)” in China. One in three pineapples sold in the country comes from this place. There, farmers produced nearly 700,000 tonnes of pineapples in 2021. But what makes Xuwen so successful
In 2019, the Guangdong government introduced a marketing system for pineapples grown in Xuwen and set up a special working group to make it happen. They called it “12221”, including the following five parts: “one” database of agricultural products (农产品); “two” teams, namely buyers and producers; “two” marketing areas, sales areas and production areas; “two” activities, helping buyers into the production area and agricultural products into the market; and “one” goal—rural vitalization (乡村振兴).
The project sent the fruit to bigger markets by finding buyers and upping the business sense of growers as well as using big data to guide production and sales methods, according to Huang Jiatuan, who’s responsible for agricultural development in Xuwen. “It changed people’s opinions and helped farmers have a better understanding of marketing,” said Liu Yicun, who used to work at the Xuwen government.
Pineapples have also attracted people from around the country to visit Xuwen, helping the development of the local tourism industry. “Much like film locations became a calling card for different cities. The local food plays an important part when young tourists choose where to go.” said Feng Rao, director of Mafengwo. It’s common for young travelers, especially those born in the 1990s and 2000s to go on journeys so they can taste new flavors.
