七、阅读短文,回答问题
On a small hill in Huaping, Yunnan, there is a small school. Over the past years, it has rewritten the fate (命运) of over 2,000 poor girls by sending them to universities.
Zhang Guimei is the founder of this school. She began teaching in Huaping, one of China's poorest areas, about thirty years ago. Zhang found many girls from poor families had to leave school for different reasons. She wanted to help those poor girls have the chance to study, so she tried hard to raise money and set up Huaping Girls' High School. It's China's first and only free public high school for girls.
Zhang gets up at 5 a.m. every day to turn on the lights on each floor of the teaching building. "Many girls are timid (胆小的)," Zhang explains. She wants them to feel safer on their way to classes. After years of tiring work, Zhang is now in poor health, but the school and the children matter more than anything else in her mind.
Zhang's story has inspired many to follow in her footsteps. Zhou Yunli was one of her students. After she finished university, she immediately returned to the school to teach. "Without Ms Zhang, I would be nobody," Zhou said with a smile. "Remember to help others when you become strong. This is what Ms Zhang taught us."
