GaryBChinese Paper Cutting or Jianzhi is the first type of paper-cutting design, since paper was invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty in China. Its a very distinguishing visual art of Chinese handicrafts. The art form later spread to other parts of the world with different areas adopting their own cultural styles. After hundreds of years development, now theyve bee a very popular means of decoration among country folk, especially women. The paper-cuts are also used to decorate doors and windows, and therefore theyre sometimes referred to “chuang hua”, meaning Window Flower. Paper-cuts are chiefly used as decorations. However, today, Chinese paper-cuts are also used for religious and ceremonial purpose, and theyre buried with the dead and burned at funerals. Chinese people believe the red paper-cuts on the door can bring good fortune and happiness to the whole family. The paper-cuts are more often seen during traditional Chinese festivals, particularly in Chinese New Year, the Spring Festival. Theyre also given as gifts to friends or other family members. Paper-cuttings arent produced by machine, but by hand. Therere two methods of manufacture (制造): one uses scissors, the other uses knives. Knife cuttings are fashioned by putting several layers of paper on a relatively soft foundation (衬底). Following a pattern, the artist cuts the motif into the paper with a sharp knife he usually holds vertically. The advantage of knife-cuttings is that considerably more paper cuttings can be made in one operation than with scissor cuttings. Its easy to learn about cutting a piece of paper but difficult to master it with perfection. One must grasp the knife in an upright fashion and press evenly (均匀地) on the paper with some strength. Flexibility is required but any hesitation will damage the whole image. People find hope and fort in expressing wishes with paper-cutting. For instance: for a wedding ceremony, red paper-cuttings are a traditional decoration on the tea set, the dressing table glass, and on other furniture. A big red paper character Xi (happiness) is a traditional must on the newlyweds(新婚夫妇) door.24. It can be learned from the second paragraph that _.A. paper-cuts are mainly used as presents B. females are better at paper-cutting than malesC. paper-cutting varies from area to areaD. paper-cuts are used in various ceremonies but funerals25. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. Forms of paper-cutting. B. Means of paper-cutting. C. Advantages of knife cuttings. D. Characteristics of paper-cutting.26. From the fifth paragraph, we can learn that _. A. paper-cutting requires great strength B. pause in paper-cutting makes no difference C. it is by no means easy to acquire paper-cutting skills D. it is fashionable to learn paper-cutting27. The author develops the last paragraph by _. A. using examples B. making parisons C. analyzing causes D. describing processesCOn the first day of school our teacher introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didnt already know.

Im eighty-seven years old.”“Why are you in university at such a YOUNG age?” I asked. She replied, “Im here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids, and then retire and travel.”I knew she was joking. I was curious(好奇) what might have encouraged her to be taking on this challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a university education and now Im getting one!” she told me. We became friends. Every day we would talk nonstop after class. I always enjoyed listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom(智慧) and experience with me. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went. At the end of the term we invited Rose to make a little speech. She cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. Ive learned a few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. Youve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.”“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesnt take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change.” 28.

Anne Savan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her science lessons.She says that it had an amazing effect: “The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much better.”But not everyone believes that there is a problem.Ray Cole, an educational psychologist says:“On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isnt worth reading.They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully.In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill.”32.Why does the writer mention “goldfish”?
