(2023-2024·西安市西北工业大学附属中学期中改编)Xu Xiuzhen, an elderly woman who is 80 years old, has become famous on the Internet. Videos of her speaking different languages when she worked at a tourist area selling water and other things have attracted many viewers online.
Xu is from a village which lies at the foot of Moon Hill. To support her family, Xu dropped out of junior school in the third grade. She has been working as a tour guide and vendor (小贩) since 1998. And she began to learn different languages in order to attract more foreign customers.
Many people have wondered how Xu has learned different foreign languages. Xu said she would transform words in other languages into Chinese characters according to their pronunciation. And then the words would be reviewed in her head before going to bed and after waking up.

Xu has become one of the busiest tour guides. But she isn't satisfied with just being a tour guide. She now owns a popular restaurant and runs a small hotel. “More and more foreign tourists are coming to Yangshuo, and I hope they will feel at home here with my help,” she said.
