四、阅读理解
阅读短文，从每个小题的四个选项中，选出能回答所给问题或完成句子的最佳答案。
After taking Chinese painting classes,
52-year-old Yang Li began dressing in brigh-
ter colors and plating meals so artfully that
her son said they looked like a painter's pal-
ette(调色盘).
As a white-collar worker（白领） in Changsha, Hunan, Yang joined a night school this year. Instead of doing housework in the evening, she now spends her time painting. "It unlocked a second life for me," she said. "It has taught me patience. Now I'm willing to watch a fallen leaf or take time to admire a flower from all sides."
Nowadays, with a growing number of night schools, more and more Chinese adults are heading back to classrooms after work. They look for new interests by taking courses in video editing（视频剪辑）, music and more. It is reported that since the be-
ginning of 2025, online discussions about night classes have had a big increase of over 78 percent. Many people share course sug-
gestions and learning tips.
Wang Haodong, 24, is learning to play the guitar at night school. "The classes are inexpensive. They are a great gift for young people like me. When I play music, I forget the stress of the day," he said.
While some people go to night schools because of their hobbies, others sign up to keep up with the quickly changing society. 46-year-old Yang Baohua used to be a facto-
ry worker. He saw machines and computers in the factory doing most of the work, so he joined an AI class. He wanted to get an AI certificate(证书) for a better job.
In Changsha, one class costs between 30 and 60 yuan and textbooks are free. A
research company says China's adult educa-
tion market will keep growing. "Night schools let people follow their hobbies easily and cheaply", said Du Yizhu, a researcher at Chongqing University.
1. Why does the writer mention Yang Li's story in Paragraph 1?
A. To describe Yang Li's hobby.
