In fact, the loongs in Chinese culture are far different from the dragons in Western culture. 　　First, let’s talk about their origins（起源）. Loongs are connected with stars and rain. They were believed to have to do with the power of emperors（皇权） in the past. 目 录 导 航 Ⅱ Ⅲ Ⅳ Ⅰ Ⅴ Dragons, however, are connected with dangerous waters. 　　Second, let’s dig into their stories. Loongs are like messengers between the sky and the earth. They help out the rulers, who become kings because of them. Dragons are troublemakers（闹事者）. They fight with the rulers and can even beat（击败） them! But as time passes, dragons lose their shine and heroes start killing them. 　　Third, let’s look at what they mean. Loongs are seen as a symbol of the emperor and an important part of traditions. Dragons are bad news. They are a symbol of evil（恶）. 目 录 导 航 Ⅱ Ⅲ Ⅳ Ⅰ Ⅴ 　　Lastly, let’s talk about how they look. The loong is like a mix of animals, with a camel’s head and a snake’s neck. Loongs don’t need wings to fly because they are already skilled at it. Dragons are more like snakes. They don’t have wings either, but people add those to make them look stronger. 31.［新考法·写作手法］Why does the writer start the text by asking questions？ A. To make a report. B. To do some research. C.
