As early as 1834，an English lady，Mrs Gutzlaff，wife of a missionary to China， came to Macao.Supported by the Ladies’ Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East，she immediately took up the work of starting a girls’ school for Chinese girls，which was soon followed by the opening of a boys’ school. Mrs Gutzlaff’s comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father’s friend and neighbor.It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs Gutzlaff’s school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school.It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school，instead of a traditional Confucian school， where my big brother was placed.Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion，taste，and the wants of the country，than to allow me to attend an English school.Moreover，a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion，influence，power and wealth.I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow，my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English.In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world.I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs Gutzlaff’s school.As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life，they were entirely left in the hands of God. 语篇解读 作者出生在南平的一个村庄里，长大后，在父亲的朋友的帮助下被父亲送到一 所英文学校，而这么多年来，作者一直困惑当初父亲为什么会送他去英文学校而不是传统 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 的中文学校。 5．How was the author admitted to Mrs Gutzlaff’s school?

So，I’ll start with the decorations.The vehicles are painted all colors of the rainbow，and often have graffitistyle designs on the side.In fact，this type of graphic design is so typical here that even a local design company took it and decided to make Tshirts with it.The inside is decorated according to the taste of the driver， with stickers quotations，names of family members，curtains and various items dangling from the ceiling. At night time，the buses are covered with multicolored flashing lights enough for a good party atmosphere，coupled with the music from the driver’s stereo system， which is exactly what you get! As for the destinations，no signs are needed—these are often splashed across the front of the bus，with a card in the front window detailing more specific directions.If you see a bus passing your way and you want to get on，you stick out your hand and wave it about a bit，and the bus driver will slam on the brakes and wait for you before continuing on his way. On the journey itself，there’s yet more fun to be had.Vendors(小商贩) often pass through the buses，trying to sell you sweets or water bags.There are also preachers coming to give you the sermon(布道) of the day in return for some small change.However， my favorite moment is when someone comes into the main street with a mini stereo and some rap music to entertain the crowd. 语篇解读 作者主要记叙了巴兰基亚这个城市的公共交通状况以及旅途中的所见所闻。 9．When the writer first arrived in Barranquilla，he/she .

His story dates back to the 1980s when Africa suffered one of the worst droughts in its history.During that period，rainfall reduced by as much as 80%，killing almost all the plants.Most local people moved away to different places，but Yacouba stayed back.Instead of giving in to the violence of nature，he decided to take control and change the face of the land completely. Unable to read and write，and with no access to modern techniques and tools， he started to employ an old African farming practice called“Zai”．The practice involves planting seeds in small holes filled with ecofriendly manure(肥料)．The holes fill up with and keep the water that falls during the rainy season.This provides moisture(水分) and nutrients for the growing plants during the dry periods.Also， the manure attracts ants，which help break up the soil further and increase its ability to take in water. Within two decades of starting his revolutionary work，a forested area of about fifty acres came up on the land of the African desert.Yacouba featured in a documentary titled“The Man Who Stopped the Desert”through which he became known to the rest of the world.To the great joy and relief of Yacouba，what the documentary focused on was put into the reestablishment of local forests and a training program for the farmers who wanted to learn Yacouba’s technique.Today，“Zai” is being widely practiced in the region. 语篇解读 本文介绍了一位非洲农夫雅各巴使用古老的耕作技术与沙漠作斗争并坚持了 30 年的故事。 13．What does the text mainly talk about?
