三、阅读表达
Poverty(贫困)is a big problem around the world. But China has done a good job of dealing with it and it has found its own way to fight against it. Instead of just giving money to the poor people, the government has tried to educate people and give them the tools they need to lift themselves out of poverty. Ordinary(平凡的)people play a big role in the fight. Here are two of them.
After graduating from Beijing Normal University in 2016, Huang Wenxiu gave up the good chances to work in big cities and returned to her hometown of Baise in Guangxi and served as the village's Party Chief(党委书记). A total of 418 villagers were lifted out of poverty
thanks to her efforts. Unluckily, she died in a big flood at the age of 30 while she was driving back to her village in Baise. She was given the title "role model of the times" by the central government in 2021.
When Mao Xianglin started to work as the Party Secretary of his village, there was only one pathway out of the village for many years. He led more than 100 villagers to build a road with their hands. It took them seven years to build an eight-kilometre road. Mao then encouraged the villagers to grow oranges. Last year, their orange yield(产量)was nearly 40 tons. Young people have returned to the village to sell oranges online. By the end of 2023,832 villagers had been lifted out of poverty. The per capita income(人均收入)reached 18932 yuan,40 times more than that in the 1990s.
1. Where is Huang Wenxiu's hometown?

1. Baise in Guangxi.
2. Young people sell oranges online.
3. They are great and hard-working.
