VI.阅读理解(30分)
(A)
During ancient times, children didn't have smart phone, iPad or computer to have fun. Instead, they came up with interesting games to play in their childhood. Their life is really colorful and interesting. Let's take a look.
Kicking stone ball
During the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in winter to keep warm. Stones were made into small balls and kicked along with feet.
In 1999, the sport was included in the competition item in the 6th National Ethnic Group Traditional Sports Meeting held in Beijing.
Hide-and-seek
Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children in China, popular around the nation. It appeared in the Tang Dynasty. There are two ways to play: covering a child's eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄)him or, more commonly,the partners hide and one child must try to find them.
Watching shadow play
The closest thing to watching a film or television during ancient times was watching a shadow play(皮影戏). People control puppets behind the screen while singing with music to tell a story. It was first played in Shaanxi and was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产)in 2006.
Setting off firecrackers
Firecrackers have a history of more than 2,000 years. It is said that people burnt bamboo joints(竹节) to make it blast(爆炸) to drive away the beast named Nian in ancient China. Firecrackers are still set off during the Spring Festival to symbolize(象征) hope and luck. Liling and Liuyang of Hunan province are famous for producing fireworks.
