A simple letter can carry great meaning that lasts for years and crosses oceans. This idea lies at the heart of Dear You (《给阿嬷的情书》), a heartwarming film that has become popular recently. Filmed almost entirely in the Chaoshan dialect (方言), this moving drama has touched the hearts of millions, especially young viewers.
The story is about a family discovery. A grandson travels to Thailand to find out why his grandfather left China decades ago and never returned. There, he uncovers a touching secret: a Thai-Chinese woman had been secretly writing letters and sending money to his grandmother in his grandfather’s name for 18 years to keep a promise. Through this personal journey, the film shows the rich cultural importance of Qiaopi.
Qiaopi, also known as “silver letters,” is far more than a letter with money sent by overseas Chinese to their families back home. It is a special cultural carrier that shows the spirit of Chaoshan ancestors (祖先), who were brave, hard-working and sincere. During the 19th and 20th centuries, many Chaoshan people traveled to Southeast Asia for a better life. In an age without convenient communication, these letters became their only “lifeline” to their hometown and families.
The film has received high praise for its true social background. It beautifully shows Chaoshan traditions, such as Gongfu tea and the colorful Yingge Dance. However, what really makes audiences cry is the strength of the women in the story. They showed deep-rooted loyalty and love that could cross oceans.
Today, many young people live a fast-paced life and often communicate through instant messages. This movie encourages them to slow down and listen to the stories of older generations. As one viewer said, “It reminds us that behind every elderly person, there was once a story of youth, passion, and deep love.”
27．Why did the Thai-Chinese woman secretly write letters to the grandmother
A．To practice her Chinese writing skills.
B．To keep a promise and comfort the grandmother.
C．To make money from the grandmother’s family.
D．To prevent the grandfather from leaving Thailand.
28．Which short poem best expresses the value of Qiaopi
A．Silver in hand, worries fly away.
B．Travel far, never forget your friends.
C．Money brings happiness, never apart.
D．A letter across oceans, a bridge between us.
29．What is the main reason that makes the audience cry
A．The strength, loyalty, and love of the women.
B．The true social background and rich traditions.
C．The difficulty of fighting for a better life abroad.
D．The beautiful scenery and culture of Southeast Asia.
30．What is the main message the movie wants to tell young people today
A．To invite them to move back to their hometowns.
B．To encourage them to keep living a fast-paced life.
C．To attract them to pay more attention to Chaoshan traditions.
D．To remind them to slow down and listen to older generations.
Long ago, Adana lived in a small village in Africa. Everyone in the village had jobs to do, and the villagers depended on one another. When Adana turned ten, her mother called for her.
“Adana, it is time for you to take your place in the village. You shall be the water girl. Each morning we need you to go down to the spring (泉), fill these buckets (桶) with water, and bring them back to the village before noon.”
Adana promised to do this job well because all the villagers needed her water to drink and wash. She picked up the yoke with the buckets, threw it over her back, and walked to the spring.
When she arrived, she took a drink and then filled the buckets with clean, cool water. Adana looked at the sun. It was nearly noon and she knew the villagers were waiting for her.
She turned to a water girl from a nearby village and asked, “How long will it take to carry water back to my village ”
The girl thoughtfully replied, “If you go slowly, it will not take very long. But if you go fast, it will take you all day.”
Adana listened, and thought about what the girl had told her. She did not believe the girl, and she climbed back up the bank and headed down the path toward her village. Adana started off slowly, but walked much faster with each step. Soon, she was slowly jogging back toward her village. Half way home, she stopped to take a little sip (一小口) of water. When she did, she saw that the buckets were only half full. Water had been sloshing (溅出) out along the path as she travelled.
Disheartened, Adana turned back toward the spring. Once again, she filled the buckets with nice, clean water. Then, she walked slowly back toward the village.
When she arrived, her little sister asked, “How long does it take to carry water back from the spring ” Adana smiled and said, “If you go slowly, it will not take very long. But if you go fast it could take all day.” Adana’s little sister listened, but thought this was a strange thing to say. From that day forward, Adana walked quickly to the spring each morning. On her way home, she walked slowly and carefully.
31．How did Adana feel when her mother gave her the job at first
A．She was curious about what might happen on the way.
B．She was proud to have such an important job.
C．She was worried about walking on the path alone.
D．She was afraid of carrying the heavy buckets.
32．What does the underlined word “Disheartened” in the passage mean
A．Satisfied. B．Interested. C．Careless. D．Hopeless.
33．What’s the right order of the events
a. Adana asked another water girl a question.
b. She had to go back to fill the buckets with clean water again.
c. One day, she walked to the spring to get water.
d. Adana went slowly to the village and finally arrived.
e. Adana became a water girl at the age of ten.
f. On the way back, she found the buckets was half full.
A．c→f→b→d→a→e B．e→c→a→f→b→d C．c→e→a→b→f→d D．e→c→f→a→b→d
34．What can we learn from the story
A．Do not stop to talk to people when there’s a job to be done.
B．It is always important for people to work together.
C．Taking time to do a job well can save time in the long run.
D．We should always listen to and take friends’ advice.
Eye contact (接触) means looking into another person’s eyes. 35 You may avoid looking someone in the eye when talking with them because you are shy. But in many cases, eye contact is the key to good communication. You can show friendliness, interest and understanding through eye contact.
36 For example, in northern Europe, direct eye contact is a sign that you are truly interested in what the other person is saying. If you look down and avoid eye contact, a northern European may think you are not listening to what they are saying. 37 Looking down when talking with an older person, like a teacher or a parent, is polite.
These differences can cause problems. Suppose that an East Asian woman meets a person from northern Europe for the first time. If she avoids direct eye contact during the conversation, the northern European may think her behavior is strange. 38 In fact, the East Asian woman is most likely showing respect and being polite.
Avoiding eye contact can cause problems, but too much eye contact is not polite either. In many countries, looking at other people for a long time is impolite. So proper eye contact is needed in communicating with others.
A．It depends on how big your eyes are.
B．This may make them feel uncomfortable.
C．It is a very important part of body language.
D．Eye contact can mean different things in different places.
E．However, in many Asian countries, it has the opposite meaning.
F．He or she may even believe that the woman is lying, or that she is not confident.

For the past 20 years, Reckoning Theater (心目影院) in Beijing has been describing movies—telling about the pictures—to its listeners.
That’s because its listeners are all blind people. Xiao Huanyi is one of the theater’s regular visitors. The 65-year-old man was born blind. “I wasn’t interested in movies at first,” he said. “I used to listen to stories on the radio. Reckoning Theater is different. It describes the pictures. That is important.”
Places that meet blind people’s needs are hard to find. By 2021, over 17 million people in China were blind or nearly blind. Reckoning Theater was started by Wang Weili in 2005. His idea came in 2000, when he described every picture of The Terminator to a blind friend, who enjoyed it a lot. Wang then used his own money to start the theater.
“They have the right to know everything that we know,” Wang said. “The government has provided special schools and sidewalks to meet their basic living needs. But life isn’t made up only of these basic needs.”
According to Wang, it is not easy to describe a movie. Preparations for a two-and-a-half-hour film could take as long as two weeks. He must watch the movie many times to get familiar with the story and its characters. In his description, Wang pays attention to what appears on the screen, instead of what happens.
With the help of a few volunteers, in recent years, Wang has also organized different outdoor activities for blind people. “The world is full of interesting things. I want to keep working to make the difference smaller between us,” he said.
39．Who does Reckoning Theater serve
40．What has the government provided
41．What do you think of Wang Weili Why
