Edward was a hard-working farmer and worked on his land every day. Bob always followed his father around. The son could often learn something useful about life from his father. One day, Edward took Bob to the yard. He pointed to some huge stones on the ground, and said with a smile, “Son, look at these stones. They are in the way now. What can we do?” “Can we move them away?” Bob asked. “Good idea! Maybe you can do it!” nodded the father. Bob was excited and ran quickly to try moving one of the large stones. However, the stone didn’t move though he tried very hard. Bob, feeling a little sad, said, “Dad, I tried to move it just now, but it didn’t move at all. I tried my best. I used all my strength.” Edward smiled, “No, son, you didn’t use all your strength. You didn’t ask for help.” With these words, Edward bent down, lifted a heavy stone and began moving it. He tried hard and finally moved it to one side of the road. He proved his words with his action. After Edward moved the stone, he turned to Bob and said, “Facing difficulties with a determined (坚毅的) heart is important. However, your own strength is limited. When a task is beyond (超出……之外) your ability, you can choose to ask for help.” From then on, Bob learned to ask for help and cooperate (合作) with others. He understood the importance of teamwork. 15.

It started in the Song Dynasty and became very popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties. We don’t know why it’s called mamianqun. What does the animal’s name have to do with the skirt? Actually, “mamian” was a part of the city wall that helped protect it. But we still don’t know why the skirt has this name. How does a mamianqun look? Let’s see the Ming style as an example. This skirt was usually made of 7 pieces of fabric. Every 3 and a half pieces were put together to make one part of the skirt, and then two of these parts were joined to make the whole skirt. The skirts often had lucky patterns (样式) on them. Everyone, from the queen to regular people, wore mamianqun. But different social groups had different types of fabric, decorations (装饰), and colors. For example, women from important families often wore skirts with dragon or snake patterns. Mamianqun has a long history and has become a part of modern fashion. It connects the past and present cultures. Today, fashion designers get ideas from mamianqun and mix its old design with new styles. Young people now want to show the beauty of Eastern culture and their pride in it. So more and more teenagers are wearing this traditional Chinese clothing. They are also wearing it in public to show it to the world. It’s becoming popular globally. 23. The horse-face skirt first appeared in ______ Dynasty. 24.
