D. Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答问题）（12分）
A warmer winter for "Ice Boy”
A photo showing a boy with icy hair once drew wide attention on social media in
2018. In that photo, a boy's hair has turned icy white, as well as his eyebrows and eye-
lashes, and his face is red. The 9-year-old schoolboy, Wang Fuman, was then nicknamed "Ice
Boy". Living with his sister and grandmother, he had to walk nearly 5 kilometers in the
snow to attend school. His father worked away from home and his mother had left the
family. After the photo was taken and released online by his teacher, the boy's story
touched many people. One web user commented, "Boy, all that you suffer now will light
your way in the future!"
Later, as social attention increased, Wang's life has greatly improved. Having learned
about the story of her son, his mother immediately returned to reunite （团聚）with her
son. And Wang’s father also received a new job as a construction worker, with much
higher pay. The family has moved to a new house, which is also about 10 minute-walk to
school.
The local government and charities also offered money to the school for reconstruction.
Now, not only can students learn in modern labs, those who live afar can also sleep in the
newly-built dorm （宿舍楼）.
More importantly, beyond Wang and his family, many other ice boys and girls have
benefited from China’s poverty alleviation （扶贫）efforts in the past years.教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333
