Here on the National Mall, I am the only means of communication between the Americans and the artisan(工匠), who were invited from China to display their talents.They see my awkward hand gestures as I test my mother tongue, speaking Mandarin(普通话) and putting it into English for visitors. The artisans possess exceptional skills.He Guoyao can read thousands of pictographic characters (象形文字) and bears the duty of passing on Dongba culture.Cheng Zhirong creates fantastic animal with a spoon and melted sugar in minutes.Standing among them, I wonder about the contributions a 16-year-old girl can make. “Ooh, it's so pretty！” A young girl sticks her nose close to a sugar dragon.Zhirong, the candy maker, signals to me, and I explain to the girl that the dragon is pure sugar.“Mommy, it's candy！” she excitedly says.“Beautiful…” The crowd breathes in awe.One woman taps me on the shoulder, saying, “Please, tell her that her work is surreal…a gift from another world.” As Zhirong takes my hand and calls me “little sister”， I find my place in this group of extraordinary people who crossed oceans to build a bridge between different ethnicities and nationalities through sugar sculptures and painted words.I, too, am a bearer of traditions. I smile at Guoyao, as he paints in pictographic characters the English words I have taught him, “You're welcome.” I come to know that culture is not shelved behind glass cases in museums.It is in the life that I once thought backward and dull—the Chinese way of life that is a part of me. 语篇导读　主题语境：人与社会/历史、社会与文化。本文为记叙文，讲述了作者参加Smithsonian Folklife Festival见识了中国手工艺人的卓越技巧，从而对自己曾经的中国身份感到自豪的故事。 4．Why does the author attend the Smithsonian Folklife Festival?

But its name has nothing to do with the sport of boxing, and unlike the popular idea, did not appear from a need to return unwanted gifts or clean up trash produced by Christmas gifting. There are several theories as to how that charitable tradition became known as “boxing”．Some historians link the use of the term to boxes of donations that were laid in during the pre-Christmas season of Advent in the early days of Christianity during the second and third centuries AD.The day after Christmas, the boxes were opened and the money was given away to the poor. Another possible story for Boxing Day has to do with a tradition that formed in the 19th century Victorian England, where servants sacrificed(牺牲) time with their own families to cater to their employers on Christmas.On the day after Christmas, employers would give the servants a rare day off and send them home with leftovers from the family's Christmas feast for their service. Though the reasons are lost to history, Boxing Day charity eventually fell out of tradition—and was replaced with physical and material pleasures.Today, the holiday is linked with sports, with major football, rugby, and cricket matches and horse races taking place on December 26. December 26 is also a big shopping day throughout the UK and the Commonwealth.The holiday kicks off what is known as “Boxing Week”， during which retailers(零售商) try to move old stock and shoppers compete for one last bargain of the year.In recent years, though, the American tradition of Black Friday—massive sales that take place the day after Thanksgiving each November—has become popular in the United Kingdom and has largely overshadowed Boxing Week. 语篇导读　主题语境：人与社会/不同民族文化习俗与传统节日。本文为说明文，介绍了Boxing Day (节礼日)的起源和庆祝活动。 12．What kind of festival was Boxing Day probably in the beginning? A．A charitable festival. B．A festival. C．A sports festival. D．A business festival. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段可知，节礼日最初可能是一个慈善的节日，故选A项。 13．What does the underlined part “cater to” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Take care of. B．Depend on. C．Put up with. D．Pick up. 答案　A 解析　词句猜测题。根据画线词上文可知，此处指仆人们牺牲了和家人团聚的时间，在圣诞节照顾主人，cater to意为“照顾”，故选A项。 14．How is Boxing Week going in the United Kingdom recently? A．It has become an online shopping day. B．It has been replaced by Black Friday. C．It only covers popular sports events. D．It has become less important than before. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段末句可知，近年来，美国的黑色星期五在英国流行起来，在很大程度上盖过了节礼日，由此推知，英国的节礼日已经不像以前那么重要了，故选D项。 15．What is the best title for the text? A．When Did Boxing Day Come into Being? B．Why Did People Celebrate Boxing Day? C．How Is Black Friday Celebrated in the UK?
