In early December, Zhang Guimei was named a national outstanding(杰出的) member of the Communist Party of China for her    1     (devote) to education in rural China.

About 20 years ago, while on the way to visit a student's house, Zhang Guimei, then a teacher in Huaping, Yunnan province, noticed a girl     2    (sit) on the hillside. The girl, 13, told Zhang she was about to get married. It was decided by her parents. "But I want to go to school." the girl said. Zhang went to her house and tried to persuade her parents     3    (let) the girl return to school and promised to pay for the school fees herself. However, they didn^’t agree.

From then on, Zhang dreamt     4     building a free high school for girls. After years trying to raise money,     5    (final) in 2008, Huaping High School for Girls, a free public high school, was founded at the foot of the Shizi Mountain in Huaping,     6     Zhang is the headmaster. Her efforts have been worth it. Since 2008, more than 18,000 students     7    (admit) to college, which is considered a “miracle” in that distant area.

Zhang plays     8     active part in local education. It is reported that she    9     (give) the honor of the country's “role model for teachers”, in February, 2021. Her moving stories encourage     10    (thousand) of people.
