题目来源：湖湘教育三新探索协作体高一期中联考B篇
For over 40 years, working as a rural teacher in one of China's poorest areas, ZhangGuimei has more than a dozen illnesses. She has been admitted to hospital for emergency care and cheated death many times. She has no property of her own and still lives in the school dormitory. Most of her salaries and monetary awards received over the years are donated to schools, children and people in need.
She is still at her job, the headteacher of China's first tuition-free girls' high school,“mother”of more than 130 children in an orphanage. For years, her school changed life for more than 1,800 girls from extreme poverty. More than 40 percent got into China's top universities. Girls who received at least nine years of education increased from 50 percent to 90 percent.
Zhang Guimei has been trying to change things for rural women. She sought to do so after seeing the double standards. Parents encourage boys to further their education but encourage girls to marry and start working young. Providing education to these girls would empower them to pursue the jobs they want.
Today, the girl graduates have built a good life for themselves, working as doctors,police officers. Some are pursuing a master's degree, and some choose to join the army. Others, under their teacher's influence, became teachers and volunteered to work in rural areas. Ms. Zhang continued to toil and moil. She was deeply convinced in what she had done,“We all live and fall sick and die. But when you are willing to give your own life to change a young girl's life, it becomes a life worth living. It's fine to do that.”
文章翻译
四十多年来,张桂梅一直在中国最贫困的地区工作,担任乡村教师。她患有十几种疾病,多次入院抢救,死里逃生。她没有自己的财产,仍住在学校宿舍。多年来获得的大部分工资和奖金都捐赠给学校、孩子和有需要的人。
她仍在工作,担任中国第一所免费女子高中的校长,还是130多个孤儿的“母亲”。多年来,她的学校改变了1800多个来自极端贫困家庭的女孩的生活。超过40%的女孩进入中国顶尖大学。接受至少九年教育的女孩从50%增加到90%。
张桂梅一直在努力改变农村女性的处境。在见证双重标准后,她决心这样做。家长鼓励男孩接受更高教育,但鼓励女孩尽早结婚生子。为这些女孩提供教育,让她们有机会追求理想的工作。
今天,女毕业生们过上了体面的生活,有的成为医生和警察,有的正在攻读硕士学位,有的选择加入军队。其他人则在老师的影响下成为教师,志愿到农村工作。张桂梅仍然辛勤劳作。她深信自己所做的一切:“我们都会生老病死,但如果你愿意献出自己的生命来改变一个女孩的人生,那才是值得活着的生命。那样做很好。”
