三、閱讀理解(每小題2分,共20分)
A
In Xuchang City, Henan, there is an old grandma named Cai Ruiyun. People call her Grandma Cai. Grandma Cai is 89 years old and runs a barbershop (理發店). She is good at cutting hair and can do it quickly. But she asks for only 2 yuan for giving others a haircut. It touches many people's heart.
Grandma Cai opened her shop in 1986. In the shop, there is just a mirror, a 30-year-old chair and some other old things. Neighbours advise her to renovate the shop, but Grandma Cai doesn't want to change things. She hopes to keep it the same as before. In Grandma Cai's heart, the shop is old, but it helps her remember a lot of good old days. Grandma Cai works hard in the shop. Every morning, she arrives at her shop at about seven, ready to serve others.
Although it is becoming more expensive to run the shop, Grandma Cai still asks for only 2 yuan for a haircut. And if someone is having a difficult time, she often offers to cut their hair for free.
Some people think 2 yuan is too little and want to pay her more, but Grandma Cai always says no. When people ask why she keeps the price so low, she smiles and says, "I don't think about making money from this. I just want to do good things for others. I want to help people while I can."
