These usually try to represent the things that are important in life such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.Paper cutting has been around for more than 1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, fish, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted. Finally, materials such as wood or paper are added to make different things. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.Beauty in _ThingsPassage outlineSupporting details_Some traditional Chinese art forms which are made of common objects _for things that are important in lifeSky lanternsThey are made of _and paper.They were used for _for help when people first invented them.Now, they are used to celebrate festivals as symbols of happiness and good wishes.Paper cuttingIt is made of paper.It has a long history of _1,500 years.It appears in different _, such as flowers, fish, animals and so on.It represents good wishes _the Spring Festival.Chinese clay artIt is made of clay.It looks very real _it is small.It takes _four steps to finish after being shaped carefully by hand.It shows love for life and beauty.21. （10分）阅读理解 My name is Monifo.
