As a deputy (代表) to the 14th National People’s Congress (全国人民代表大会), Jin Ruirui, 33, wore a traditional Yi costume and brought Yi embroidery (彝绣) to this year’s two sessions (两会). Jin is an inheritor (传承人) of the Yi embroidery of Chuxiong Yi autonomous prefecture (楚雄彝族自治州), Southwest China’s Yunnan province. She has brought proposals (建议) for developing the local embroidery industry and promoting women’s employment.

Jin was among the first group of college students in her village, but instead of working in big cities, she chose to come back to her hometown to set up her own Yi embroidery company. “My mother raised me with the money she made as an embroiderer. I want to carry on her skills and help more embroiderers who are just like my mother—they might not get much education, but they know well about our local culture,” said Jin.

Jin went on field trips to many local villages and found that there were many left-behind children with their parents working far away in big cities. “Think about how good it will be if embroidery can bring them enough money so that they can work at home and stay together with their children,” Jin said, remembering how she started her career.

With the support from the local government and the hard work of people like Jin, Yi embroidery has become a growing industry. They train embroiderers and hire designers to make the embroidery pieces more trendy (时髦的). They hold fashion shows promoting Yi costumes in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai and do business with other provinces and even foreign countries. Jin just got an export (出口) order of 6,500 Yi embroidered costumes to the UK last month.

During the past 10 years, more than 60,000 Yi women in Chuxiong have taken part in the local Yi embroidery industry. Their average monthly income grew from about 500 yuan to around 3,000 yuan. “Now, even some men have started to work as embroiderers, taking up about 4 percent of the workforce staff,” Jin added. “We have made our lives better with our traditional culture and skills.”

【小题1】What do we know about Jin Ruirui according to the passage?
A.She is one of the left-behind children in the far-away villages.
B.She has worked in big cities after graduating from university.
C.She does business with people from the UK.
D.She has brought proposals to help children get better education in the countryside.
【小题2】Which might NOT be the reason for developing the Yi embroidery industry?
A.To keep this traditional skill alive.
B.To work as a deputy to the National People’s Congress.
C.To help local women get employed.
D.To improve the local people’s income.
【小题3】According to the passage, Jin Ruirui probably agrees that ________.
A.men had better take part in the workforce of embroiderers
B.deputies should wear traditional clothes to attend important meetings
C.it’s necessary for us to carry on our traditional culture and skills
D.we might not know our local culture well unless we get much education
