7 . Until recently, it was common for people in Xinjiang to search for missing livestock (牲畜) everywhere. To solve the problem, a company in Urumqi has developed a system which can locate (定位) the livestock in real time.
“Herdsmen (牧民) welcomed the system,” Chen Hu, the manager of the company, says proudly. “In the past, cows and sheep ran all over the mountain and people were busy searching for missing livestock. Now they can stay at home while letting their animals eat grass in the field. They don’t need to worry about where to find them, leaving more time to complete other work. It helps them a lot.”
The above story is told in the first episode (集) of the documentary Aspiring Jobs in China. According to Tang Sishi, general producer of the show, in recent years, people seem worried about their jobs and have created popular terms like “996 working schedule” and “neijuan”. However, she says many people around her, including herself, actually enjoy their work.
“I want to tell stories of those who take pleasure in their jobs in order to inspire others,” says Tang. Finally, six people from different industries were chosen.
In the second episode, Tang Hengxin, a 57-year-old engineer, works at a drone (无人机) company which was set up by 22-year-old Li Kunhuang. They are trying to develop a drone system which can help put out forest fires.
According to Tang Sishi, the most important thing for happy working is to believe the job has some value. And that helps them to overcome challenges and stick to what they are doing.

| C．By giving an example. | D．By making comparisons. |

9 . With the development of science and technology, communications are becoming easier and quicker now—people can use telephones, cellphones, fax machines and the Internet. It means that we seldom write letters now. But a TV show, Letters Alive(《见字如面》), is bringing back this old habit.
Letters Alive invites famous actors and actresses, but there are no funny jokes or different competitions. Instead, only one person walks up to a microphone and reads a letter. The letters were written by people from different times in history. For example, in one episode(集), they read a letter written by the famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941. The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future.
“Every letter opens another world for us,” said Guan Zhangwen, the director of the TV show. “It seems that we can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers”. Since its first episode was on, Letters Alive has been widely praised. Many audiences(观众) say that it has provided a breath of fresh air to today's TV shows.
Besides Letters Alive, some other cultural TV shows have also attracted Chinese audiences. They include the Chinese Poetry Conference, a traditional Chinese poetry competition and Readers, a program that invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote. It suggests that cultural values and true feelings are becoming our interest.

10 . Readers is a TV show and it is getting popular in China. People can read everything, like poems, novels and letters in the show.
Many people like the show and enjoy reading at home. Now the show gives people a special place to read across China. Reading pavilions (亭子) are now in cities like Shanghai, Hangzhou and Xi’an.
The pavilion is quite small. Only one person can come into it each time. Everyone can read for three minutes in the pavilion. The show will later ask some of the readers to read on TV.
People of all ages come and read in the pavilion. “Reading should be like singing and talking.” said Dong Qing, the hostess (主持人) of the show. We can show our feelings by reading loud.
Quite a lot of people are more and more interested in reading. In fact, our country is also trying to do it now.
