;Section B 生词表;Many people like Zhong Wei regard with great interest how their hometowns have changed. Perhaps large hospitals and new roads have appeared. In many places, the government has also built new schools and sent teachers from the cities to help. "I noticed that's true of my hometown," adds Zhong Wei. "Children have learned to read and count at my old primary school since the mid-20th century. But now the buildings are really old. I hear they' re going to build a new school there." Zhong Wei thinks such developments are good, and he also knows that his hometown can not always stay the same. According to Zhong Wei, however, some things will never change.“In my hometown, there was a big old tree opposite the school. It is still there and has become quite a symbol of the place. Most of the children in my time liked to play together under that big tree, especially during the summer holidays. It was such a happy childhood. Our hometown has left many soft and sweet memories in our hearts.";Using Previous Knowledge We can often guess what a text is about by using what we already know. Answering questions before we read can also help us do this.;Some people still live in their hometown. However, others may only see it once or twice a year. Nowadays,millions of Chinese leave the countryside to search for work in the cities. Among these is Zhong Wei, a 46-year-old husband and father. He has lived in Wenzhou for the last 13 years. With a hard job in a crayon factory, he doesn't find much time to visit his hometown. "I used to return home at least once a year, but I haven't been back for almost three years now. It's a shame, but I just don't have the time." he says.; 一些人仍然住在他们的家乡。然而，其他人可能一年只回家乡一两次。如今，数百万中国人离开他们的家乡去城市工作。作为一名46岁的丈夫和父亲，钟伟就是其之一。在过去的13年里他一直在温州。他在一家蜡笔厂做一份艰苦的工作，因此抽不出很多时间回家乡。“我过去常常一年至少回家一次，但是现在我几乎三年没有回过家了。实在是惭愧，但是我就是没有时间。”他说。;1.
