Shashiyu was once a poor village in Hebei Province，but now it has changed into a rich and livable place.
In the 1940s，villagers in Shashiyu had little food and few clothes，but they had a strong wish for a better life.Zhang Guishun，the Party secretary of Shashiyu，encouraged his villagers to do their best to pull themselves out of poverty.“In the ancient Chinese story，Yu Gong could move mountains with his strong will and hard work.Why can’t we？ Nobody was born to be poor！” Hearing his words，the villagers decided to make a difference.
Led by the Communist Party of China (中国共产党)，the villagers carried water and soil to their village from faraway places to improve their land.From 1966 to 1971，they reclaimed (开垦) lots of land and greatly improved their life.
However，the village encountered a new problem two decades later as the environment became heavily polluted by chemical plants and mine refineries built in the 1990s.
The polluting factories were shut down in 2004，and villagers started grape cultivation，which soon became a main industry in Shashiyu.
In 2009，the city level government invested over 1 million yuan ($152，723) to change the village’s exhibition hall into a museum in memory of development efforts made by earlier generations.After 10 years，the village was called “National Forest Village” .
Zhang said that the village started a yearly tourism festival in 2015 to attract travelers to pick grapes.“The grapes could be sold at a better price once Shashiyu becomes famous through this festival.Our villagers can then live even better lives，” he said.
( )1.Why did Zhang Guishun use the story of Yu Gong to encourage the villagers？
A.Because Yu Gong had strong will and hard work.
B.Because Yu Gong was born poor，too.
C.Because the villagers worshipped Yu Gong.
D.Because Yu Gong became rich at last.

( )2.From 1966 to 1971，what did the villagers do to improve their living situation？
A.They planted grapes to earn money.
B.They carried water and soil to their village to improve their lands.
C.They moved to another place to live a better life.
D.They built a lot of factories.
B
( )3.Which word can be used to describe the villagers？
A.Hard working. B.Lazy.
C.Kind hearted. D.Stupid.
( )4.When was Shashiyu called “National Forest Village”？
A.In 2009. B.In 2004.
C.In 2015. D.In 2019.

Journalist Leo Blackmon is interviewing some foreigners who have lived in China for some time.
John Smith(Canada)
Before I came to China，I told my friends that I would taste all the Chinese food in one year.But to my surprise，there are so many delicious foods in Chongqing that I haven’t tried all the dishes yet.So maybe I’ll spend several more years enjoying different kinds of Chinese food.I think Chinese food is the best in the world！
Ann Woodsen(France)
As a young lady，I used not to stay out late in the evening.That’s why I often went to bed before 10：00.But during the last three years，I found that it was always safe for me to take a walk with my best friends till midnight in Shanghai.I’ve lived in a few countries，and I can say that China may be the safest country to live in.
Alice Hilton(America)
I had been told that China was a poor country，so I was surprised when I arrived and saw the country with my own eyes.The buildings here are even taller than those in my hometown.When I paid bills in cash(现金)，other people looked at me as if I had come from another planet！In China，most people use AliPay or WeChat Pay to pay the bills.I think I’m out of date in China.
