He stacked 1, 840 standard-sized Jenga pieces on top of just one block and also stacked 900 really large ones on a single block. Auldin, who has autism (孤独症), first discovered his talent by chance. “I have always liked balancing things and, as a baby, I used to stack anything like books and toys,” he told CBC News. Although he has a natural talent for stacking the blocks, he did come up with different patterns through hard work to balance out the tower. The most difficult part of stacking the Jenga blocks was forming a strong base to make sure the stacked blocks did not fall over. Once he was halfway through, it became much easier to put the blocks together. Auldin’s favorite thing about Jenga blocks is their versatility (多功能性). He doesn’t just see them as blocks in a game, but as tools that can be used for building all kinds of things. “For me, it’s a big challenge, and using them really develops my creativity!” he said. His secret to building such towers is about three hours of focused attention. “When I’m doing it, I don’t think about anything,” he said. He would get ready for each try by preparing with fun activities like riding his bike or listening to music in the mind, which helps him focus attention better. Now, Auldin has his eyes set on breaking another record—although this time, it has nothing to do with Jenga. “I want to solve the most Rubik’s Cubes (魔方) while on my cycle,” he told CBC News. 1．What does the underlined word “forming” mean? A．Building. B．Getting. C．Buying. D．Finding. 2．What is Auldin’s secret to building Jenga block towers? A．Creative ideas. B．Different talents. C．Useful tools.

Auldin came up with different patterns of blocks. c. Auldin tries to break another record. d. Auldin broke two Guinness World Records. e. Auldin stacked books and toys. A．e-a-b-d-c B．c-e-a-b-d C．e-c-d-a-b D．d-e-c-a-b 4．What can we know from the passage? A．Auldin doesn’t have autism now. B．Auldin is not only creative but very outgoing.

He watched snowflakes fall on the dried grass and on the dark metal handle of the door. He said snow was as beautiful as butterflies, or apple blossoms (花). He could catch butterflies and show them to his brother. He could pick apple blossoms and take them to his mother. But he could not share snowflakes because he could not save them. When his mother gave him an old microscope (显微镜), he used it to look at flowers, raindrops and grass. Best of all, he used it to look at snow. While other children built forts with sand and threw snowballs at birds, Willie was catching snowflakes. Day after stormy day he studied the icy crystals. The intricate patters (复杂的结构) of snowflakes were even more beautiful than he had imagined. He expected to find whole flakes that were the same, that were copies of each other. But he never did. Willie decided he must find a way to save snowflakes so others could see their wonderful patterns. For three winters he tried drawing snow crystals. They always melted before he could finish. When he was 16, Willie read about a camera which has its own microscope. “If I had that camera, I could photograph snowflakes,” he told his mother. Willie’s mother knew he would not be happy until he could share what he had seen. “Fussing with snow is just foolishness,” his father said. Still, he loved his son. When Willie was 17, his parents spent their savings and bought the camera. It was taller than a newborn cow, and cost as much as ten cows. Willie was sure it was the best of all cameras. Even so, his first pictures were failures. Yet he would not give up. Mistake by mistake, snowflake by snowflake, Willie worked through every storm. Winter ended, the snow melted, and he had no good pictures. He waited for another season of snow. One day, in the second winter, he tried a new way. And it worked! Willie worked out how to photograph snowflakes! “Now everyone can see the great beauty in a tiny crystal,” he said. But in those days no one cared. Neighbors laughed at the idea of photographing snow. “Snow is as common as dirt,” they said. “We don’t need pictures.” Willie said the photographs would be his gift to the world. 6．What did Willie most like to do when he was a boy? A．He watched snowflakes alone. B．He threw snowballs at birds. C．He caught butterflies with his brother.

B．Snowflakes melted before he could finish drawing them. C．Snowflakes were hard to draw because of the cold weather. D．Snowflakes blew away before he could finish drawing them. 8．“Fussing with snow is just foolishness,” his father said.

It’s not a scene from a movie, but a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产)—bamboo drifting (独竹漂). Yang Liu,24, is an inheritor (传承人) of bamboo drifting. She started to learn it from her grandmother when she was 7. As she was weak in health as a child, her grandmother wanted her to get into better shape through this sport. Yang threw herself into practicing bamboo drifting all year round, even in the winter cold and summer heat. “It was common for me to fall into the water when I started practicing,” recalled Yang, adding that it took her three years to learn the basic skills of bamboo drifting. In order to acquire more bamboo drifting skills, Yang had to practice countless difficult movements on a bamboo pole that was 9 m in length and 15 cm in diameter (直径), and stand all the physical pain that came with it. Through years of hard training, Yang now considers the bamboo pole as her “best friend”. At one point, inspired by her grandmother, Yang began to combine dance with bamboo drifting. “My grandmother came up with an idea. She said that I had been practicing bamboo drifting since I was a child, so why not try to combine dance with the skill? It might be something different.” the young woman explained. Yang’s hard work gradually paid off when she was able to perfectly perform dancing with the traditional bamboo drifting skills. “I hope that more people can know about bamboo drifting and enjoy this form of art.” said Yang. 11．Why did Yang’s grandmother let her learn bamboo drifting?

He stacked 1, 840 standard-sized Jenga pieces on top of just one block and also stacked 900 really large ones on a single block. Auldin, who has autism (孤独症), first discovered his talent by chance. “I have always liked balancing things and, as a baby, I used to stack anything like books and toys,” he told CBC News. Although he has a natural talent for stacking the blocks, he did come up with different patterns through hard work to balance out the tower. The most difficult part of stacking the Jenga blocks was forming a strong base to make sure the stacked blocks did not fall over. Once he was halfway through, it became much easier to put the blocks together. Auldin’s favorite thing about Jenga blocks is their versatility (多功能性). He doesn’t just see them as blocks in a game, but as tools that can be used for building all kinds of things. “For me, it’s a big challenge, and using them really develops my creativity!” he said. His secret to building such towers is about three hours of focused attention. “When I’m doing it, I don’t think about anything,” he said. He would get ready for each try by preparing with fun activities like riding his bike or listening to music in the mind, which helps him focus attention better. Now, Auldin has his eyes set on breaking another record—although this time, it has nothing to do with Jenga. “I want to solve the most Rubik’s Cubes (魔方) while on my cycle,” he told CBC News. 1．What does the underlined word “forming” mean? A．Building. B．Getting. C．Buying. D．Finding. 2．What is Auldin’s secret to building Jenga block towers? A．Creative ideas. B．Different talents. C．Useful tools.

He watched snowflakes fall on the dried grass and on the dark metal handle of the door. He said snow was as beautiful as butterflies, or apple blossoms (花). He could catch butterflies and show them to his brother. He could pick apple blossoms and take them to his mother. But he could not share snowflakes because he could not save them. When his mother gave him an old microscope (显微镜), he used it to look at flowers, raindrops and grass. Best of all, he used it to look at snow. While other children built forts with sand and threw snowballs at birds, Willie was catching snowflakes. Day after stormy day he studied the icy crystals. The intricate patters (复杂的结构) of snowflakes were even more beautiful than he had imagined. He expected to find whole flakes that were the same, that were copies of each other. But he never did. Willie decided he must find a way to save snowflakes so others could see their wonderful patterns. For three winters he tried drawing snow crystals. They always melted before he could finish. When he was 16, Willie read about a camera which has its own microscope. “If I had that camera, I could photograph snowflakes,” he told his mother. Willie’s mother knew he would not be happy until he could share what he had seen. “Fussing with snow is just foolishness,” his father said. Still, he loved his son. When Willie was 17, his parents spent their savings and bought the camera. It was taller than a newborn cow, and cost as much as ten cows. Willie was sure it was the best of all cameras. Even so, his first pictures were failures. Yet he would not give up. Mistake by mistake, snowflake by snowflake, Willie worked through every storm. Winter ended, the snow melted, and he had no good pictures. He waited for another season of snow. One day, in the second winter, he tried a new way. And it worked! Willie worked out how to photograph snowflakes! “Now everyone can see the great beauty in a tiny crystal,” he said. But in those days no one cared. Neighbors laughed at the idea of photographing snow. “Snow is as common as dirt,” they said. “We don’t need pictures.” Willie said the photographs would be his gift to the world. 6．What did Willie most like to do when he was a boy? A．He watched snowflakes alone. B．He threw snowballs at birds. C．He caught butterflies with his brother. D．He built sand forts with his friends. 7．What problem did Willie have when he tried to draw snowflakes? A．Snowflake patterns were too difficult to draw well. B．Snowflakes melted before he could finish drawing them. C．Snowflakes were hard to draw because of the cold weather. D．Snowflakes blew away before he could finish drawing them. 8．“Fussing with snow is just foolishness,” his father said.

It’s not a scene from a movie, but a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产)—bamboo drifting (独竹漂). Yang Liu,24, is an inheritor (传承人) of bamboo drifting. She started to learn it from her grandmother when she was 7. As she was weak in health as a child, her grandmother wanted her to get into better shape through this sport. Yang threw herself into practicing bamboo drifting all year round, even in the winter cold and summer heat. “It was common for me to fall into the water when I started practicing,” recalled Yang, adding that it took her three years to learn the basic skills of bamboo drifting. In order to acquire more bamboo drifting skills, Yang had to practice countless difficult movements on a bamboo pole that was 9 m in length and 15 cm in diameter (直径), and stand all the physical pain that came with it. Through years of hard training, Yang now considers the bamboo pole as her “best friend”. At one point, inspired by her grandmother, Yang began to combine dance with bamboo drifting. “My grandmother came up with an idea. She said that I had been practicing bamboo drifting since I was a child, so why not try to combine dance with the skill? It might be something different.” the young woman explained. Yang’s hard work gradually paid off when she was able to perfectly perform dancing with the traditional bamboo drifting skills. “I hope that more people can know about bamboo drifting and enjoy this form of art.” said Yang. 11．Why did Yang’s grandmother let her learn bamboo drifting? A．Because it could help Yang build up her body. B．Because Yang was very talented for it. C．Because it was the traditional skill of Yang’s family.

Instead of simply taking photos of famous landmarks, they now look for different stamps of the attractions (景点) during their journey. When travelling, they would take postcards or travel notebooks with them, where they put the stamps with the pictures or names of the tourist attractions. Some tourist cities also offer a special “passport” for the tourists to collect stamps. Kuang Zhaoxin is one of them. She sees stamp collecting as a great way to record the trip. Early last year, she first experienced stamp collecting and decided to make it part of her travel.

By sharing these, she is able to make more new friends with the same interest. Shi Junchu, 29, from Yunnan thinks it can add more meanings to the travels. “This habit has improved my understanding of different places, because when I collect stamps, I dig deeper into the stories behind each stamp. Those stories help me take a new look at the attractions, or I would just miss them.” she told a news reporter. Actually, many also find the stamps themselves a kind of art. They are seriously designed with rich cultural elements (元素).
