27、Before arriving in China in 2017, I had read various books relating to China, and the seeds of my fascination were sown.
Therefore, when I arrived, I couldn’t have been more excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. The food, the landmarks, the mega cities and everyday life — I couldn’t wait to explore.
Yet despite my enthusiasm, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t ignorance or laziness, but rather fear at the prospect of attempting to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world. Besides this, I was living in Shanghai, an international city, with many people speaking English as a second language — I decided English would suffice.
However, after a year in China I began to observe that while many expats did not speak Chinese, there were plenty who did. Perhaps it was achievable after all? In addition I felt uncomfortable with how many Chinese people could speak English and yet I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier.
Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as insurmountable as I once assumed. When I speak to native Chinese speakers in Chinese, they almost always understand me, I have also not found it too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters. The thing I find most challenging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed. I can’t always understand what’s been said.
My biggest takeaway from learning Chinese is that it’s not only doable but can also be enjoyable. Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a diverse and fascinating country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, embrace the challenge and take the leap of faith.
【1】Why didn’t the author learn Chinese when he arrived in China in 2017?
A.He showed no enthusiasm for China.
B.He was unwilling to make the effort.

D.He avoided doing something difficult.
【2】What caused the author to learn Chinese?
A.His regret about starting learning late.
B.Support from many expats around him.
C.Eagerness to rise to the challenge.
D.A thirst to prove his gift for language.
【3】What does the underlined word “insurmountable” in the 5th paragraph mean?
A.Valueless.
B.Difficult.
C.Unnecessary.
D.Unacceptable.
【4】What can we learn from the author’s experience?
A.Love breaks down barriers.
B.Hard work pays off.
C.Persistence is the key to success.
D.Bravery opens up a new world.
28、 Carolyn Crump's work as a UPS delivery driver spans more than twenty-three years. And because of her long-standing career, she calls many of her customers friends and family. And the feeling is mutual(相互的).
“Every single person can give you a story, where she has gone above and beyond, like bringing up groceries when someone's arm was broken. She's got a heart of gold. The day before we had to put our dog down, I found her in front of our gate saying her goodbyes to our dog. That's the type of person she is,” said Jason Lehtman.
Jason found out Carolyn had a leaking roof. And he knew he needed to do something to help the beloved UPS delivery driver!
Moved with compassion, Jason created a GoFundMe page to crowdfund for repairs to the thirty-year-old roof. The entire project came: together in less than two weeks and raised several thousand dollars within two days.
The community came together to raise the money for the repairs and to surprise her too. One customer called in about a fake package for Carolyn Crump to pick up.
Next, they blindfolded Carolyn and brought her to a park where the community of friends presented the UPS delivery driver with the check. After receiving her check, she also received a round of applause before hopping back into her truck to deliver the last twenty packages of the day.
“It's easy to have a positive attitude when you know how blessed you are to just have a job, especially during a pandemic. I love online shoppers. I should get a bumper sticker that says that on my car. They don't sign my check, but they definitely supply the materials for it,” she said.

29、The village of Okere Mom-Kok was destroyed during the Ugandan Civil War in the 1980s. Now, pupils at the early childhood centre are noisily having a break, and a market is coming to life, as is local beer making, in what has become known as Okere City.
Okere City began in 2019.It has a school, a clinic, and a community hall that also serves as a nightclub.Electricity and clean water are available to everyone.
Ojok Okello started the project of Okere City with an investment(投资) from his own pocket to change the destroyed village of 4,000 people.The development expert had worked for several charities but grew sad seeing projects fail because communities weren’t involved in decisions about their own future.When he returned to Okere Mom-Kok to visit relatives, he decided to create a project that was truly led by the people who lived there.
Okere now produces income.Every project, from the school to the local bar, can fund itself, something that has been possible because the project is being built not as a charity, but as a social enterprise(事业), Okello says.
This year, after local people said they needed a way to make money, Okello began to experiment with processing shea nuts(加工乳木果), which locals collect and turn into butter for cooking.Soon, Okere Shea Butter arrived on the market.

Once a week an investment club meets in the community hall.Member’s dues(会费) are carefully recorded before being offered as loans(贷款) to members who need them.When borrowers repay the loan, the cycle continues.
“This style of banking plays a big role because it’s uniquely African,” Okello says.“It’s been about community, patience, and long-term investment.”
