七、阅读短文，回答问题
Cameron Patterson, a British student, spent his childhood in China. He has seen many great changes in the country over the past 15 years, especially those in transport.
At the age of 8, Patterson moved from Wales to join his parents in Shanxi. Later, the family lived in a few cities. They also travelled a lot during holidays. However, travelling itself wasn't always relaxing. When the family moved from Jiangsu to Guangdong, they took the old green train and spent nearly two days on the trip.
Now with high-speed trains, life has become much easier. Long and boring trips in the past have become shorter. Also, the modern trains are more comfortable. "A coin wouldn't move at all on the table of a fast-moving train," he said excitedly.
Patterson was glad to see these changes in China, but he also wondered how they happened. When he read an article about China's role model Jiao Yulu in 2015, he got the answer. Jiao devoted (献身) himself to improving people's life. It is people like him who make these changes possible. "He was really great. I have learnt a lot from him," said Patterson.
Patterson now volunteers in a Confucius Institute (孔子学院) in the UK. "I'm proud to act as a bridge between the UK and China and help the two peoples know about each other better."
