     Who do you admire (崇拜)? Different people may have different ideas.
      If you're a sports fan, perhaps the person you admire most is a great basketball player, and Yao Ming is

great scientists, for example, Yuan Longping.

serving the public. They show great dedication (奉献). However, what they do is often unnoticed by us. Have

It's someone else. We see them every day, They work day and night in the terrible working conditions and
weather. They build the roads, the theaters, the cinemas and the supermarkets. They even clean up our
rubbish. They are China's migrant workers (民工).

China! They may not make as much money as some people in cities, but they are good honest people just
