A grandma, Xu Xiuzhen, became famous for videos of her talking with foreigners on the Internet. In these videos, she speaks different languages with them. Grandma Xu has worked as a tour guide and vendor(摊贩) in Yangshuo, a county in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region (自治区) since 1998. Grandma Xu left junior school in the third grade. To make a living, she began to learn different languages to encourage more foreigners to buy things. Over the past twenty years, Grandma Xu has taught herself 11 foreign languages, including English, Spanish, Japanese and Korean. It makes her popular, and her excellent language skills have also made it easier for her to communicate with foreign tourists.

Grandma Xu said she learnt how to pronounce the words from different foreigners first and then she memorised them. She would repeat the words in her head before going to bed and after waking up. Gradually, her hard work made her talk with foreigners better and better.

Grandma Xu has also become one of the busiest tour guides in Yangshuo. Her popularity draws a large crowd of tourists every day, especially foreign visitors who come to meet the special guide out of admiration. "More and more foreign tourists are coming to Yangshuo, and I hope they will feel at home here with my help," she said.

One day, a (n)1 woman came in the store where I worked. I welcomed her to the store, and she immediately started up a conversation, telling me her name was Barbara and asking me about my day. I stepped out to walk with her and nodded along while she2

As we chatted, Barbara stopped to look at a shirt, "I really like the pattern. I used to wear colors like this when I was younger. "

I asked, "Oh? What changed?"

Barbara chuckled(轻笑),"Well, as I started to get older, these sorts of clothes just didn't look good on me anymore Maybe it will be 3 for you, since you're a very pretty young girl. "

"Don't say that, Barbara! You're still very beautiful. "

 阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

 On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made the first successful powered flight in history, making their dream come true.

 It all started when Orville was 7 and Wilbur was 11. Their father gave them a toy helicopter(直升机), which made them dream of flying. Their mother, who knew much about machines and science, also influenced them a lot.

 When the brothers grew up, they entered the printing business. Then they opened a bicycle repair shop. It wasn't long before they were making their own bikes. However, the brothers never stopped to study flight. They studied what other people learned about flight. By 1900, the Wright brothers were ready to test their first Flyer. They tried many times. Finally, on December 17, 1903, they achieved success.

 That day, the brothers flew four times. Orville flew the Flyer the first time. That flight lasted 12 seconds and went 120 feet. Their second flight went 175 feet and the third 200 feet. Wilbur flew the fourth flight. It reached 852 feet in 59 seconds. After that last flight, the Flyer became too broken to fly again because of the strong wind.

They kept testing new designs to improve their Flyer. Later they began to teach others to fly. They even opened their own flying school. The brothers did make travel more convenient for people.
