Sugar painting, as the name means, is a painting made of sugar. Its the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to admire.
Since the Warring States Period(战国时代), the ancient people loved sweets and developed methods of producing sugar. In the Tang Dynasty, there was huge progress in the technology of sugar making. And sugar, the precious product once only served to the emperors and princes, also went into common peoples homes. With the cultural and economic(经济的) development of Song and Yuan dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared.
Sugar painting is different from normal painting. Sugar painters use syrup(糖浆) as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is done.
However, its a pity that this folk art is dying recently. The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. Whats worse, few people seem to be willing to pass on the art except those aging sugar painters.
For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has pulled the art down into peoples daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual support of the ancient people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产) in China. Therefore, the art should be remembered, missed and passed on. (2024南充)

What will the world of the next generation(一代) look like? Many people today are confident that technology is going to help solve some of the most challenging problems we have on the earth today. 1. But it may also create new ones. No technology is perfect.
When we dream about the future, many of us like to think that we will be able to fly to the sky in our own personal flying car. The advantages are clear. This technology would allow total freedom of movement. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. 2. If the cars become popular, it is likely to cause heavy traffic. And what will happen if the cars break down?
3D printing is another new technology with exciting possibilities for the future. 3D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts, and man-made body parts, such as ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. 3.
Finally, imagine having your own Iron Man suit. Several companies are trying to build a practical robot suit. This is an electronic suit with robot arms and legs which follows the wearers movements. It allows you to lift heavy objects and walk long distances(距离). 4. However, one disadvantage at the moment is cost. Even a simple robot suit can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.
5. One day, we will be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve before all of this is possible, we can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer. (2024济南莱芜三模)
