阅读《天上的街市》,完成下列各题。天上的街市郭沫若远远的街灯明了,你看,那浅浅的天河,好像是闪着无数的明星。定然是不甚宽广。天上的明星现了,那隔着河的牛郎织女,好像是点着无数的街灯。定能够骑着牛儿来往。我想那缥缈的空中,我想他们此刻,定然有美丽的街市,定然在天街闲游。街市上陈列的一些物品,不信,请看那朵流星,定然是世上没有的珍奇。 是他们提着灯笼在走。【1】传说中的牛郎织女都是勤劳的人儿,诗人为什么
Every evening,
15-year-old Rashida returns home from school, changes out of her uniform, and
rushes to a neighboring farm to help her mother harvest vegetables.Her father is disabled, so the
modest profit the two of them earn must cover food, clothing and other
necessities for all seven children and their parents.Despite having precious little
time to study, Rashida is one of the top students at her junior secondary
school.But with so
much responsibility on her small shoulders, she admits that it is sometimes
hard for her to imagine a more promising future.
Last year,
Rashida was invited to join 155 other girls at Camfed Ghana’s first Girls’
Career Camp, a program designed to inspire girls growing up in the country’s
Northern Region to dream big, and to support them to pursue those dreams.“We organized this camp because
we wanted to let girls know that even if they are struggling with poverty,
their lives will not be defined by limitations,” says Dolores Dickson, Camfed
Ghana’s Executive Director.
Over the course
of five days, the camp led the junior and secondary school students through a
range of experiences and career opportunities that were entirely new to them. Dr.Agnes Apusiga, a lecturer from
the University of Development Studies, ran the workshop on goal-setting and
career choices, describing the universities and training colleges in Ghana that
could help them achieve their dreams.Participants then visited the University for Development Studies,
where they toured the medical school and science labs.Another highlight was a
workshop at the computer lab at Tamale Secondary School.Many of the girls had studied
information technology from a book but had never before seen a computer.
“When the girls
arrived at camp, they were not ambitious, because they didn’t have any idea
what the world held for them,” says Eugenia Ayagiba, Project Officer with
Camfed Ghana.“Many
had scarcely traveled beyond their own villages.”
“I think the
most important thing that happened at the camp is that we opened a window of
hope for a group of girls coming from backgrounds of poverty,” says Eugenia.For Rashida, who has been
laughed at in the past by her schoolmates because of her father’s disability,
the experience was important.“She told one of the camp mentors(辅导员) that when she is at school, she often feels
like a misfit, and she prefers to keep to herself,” says Eugenia.“But at the camp, it was
different.She made
friends with girls who have similar struggles.She took part in every single activity, every
single game.On the
last day, she said to her mentor, ‘The camp has challenged me to study hard.Now I see that there is light
at the end of the tunnel.’
