四、阅读理解。〔人与社会——历史、社会与文化〕
Shashiyu was once a poor village in Hebei Province, but now it has changed into a rich and liveable place.
In the 1940s, villagers in Shashiyu had little food and few clothes, but they had a strong wish for a better life. Zhang Guishun, the Party branch secretary of Shashiyu, encouraged his villagers to do their best to pull themselves out of poverty. "In the ancient Chinese story, Yugong could move mountains with his strong will and hard work. Why can't we? Nobody was born to be poor!" Hearing his words, the villagers decided to make a difference.
Led by the Communist Party of China, the villagers carried water and soil to their village from faraway places to improve their land. From 1966 to 1971, they reclaimed (开垦) lots of land and greatly improved their life.
However, the village encountered (遇到) a new problem about two decades later as the environment became heavily polluted by chemical plants and mine refineries built in the 1990s. The polluting factories were shut down in 2004, and villagers started grape cultivation, which soon became the main industry in Shashiyu.
In 2009, the city - level government invested over 1 million *yuan* to change the village's exhibition hall into a museum in memory of the development efforts made by earlier generations. After 10 years, the village was called "the National Forest Village".
Zhou Guojun, the fourth Party secretary of the village, said that the village started a yearly tourism festival in 2015 to attract travellers to pick grapes. "The grapes can be sold at a better price once Shashiyu becomes famous through this festival. Our villagers can then live even better lives," he said.
