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 figures 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. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为志愿者参加Smithsonian Folklife Festival，在活动期间见识了两名来自中国的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。 24．Why does the author attend the Smithsonian Folklife Festival?

In honor of Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, people make special prayers on the first day to obtain blessings for welfare, success, and well-being.People welcome the goddess into their homes by decorating entrances with colorful lanterns and traditional designs.In addition, many people treat themselves to fine jewellery, praying for good fortune.Those who cannot afford so much, seek out cheaper items such as clothes or household goods. The second day of the festival is called Kali Chaudas.For some, the day provides an opportunity to drive away misfortune from homes and businesses.They decorate their homes with clay lamps and create design patterns called Rangoli on the floor using colored powder or sand. The third day is when the biggest celebrations occur, which begin early in the morning with a visit to a temple to seek the blessing of the goddess.As the sun sets, festival observers light up their homes with small lamps and enjoy delicious traditional foods with their loved ones. The festival's fourth day is celebrated in many different ways.Friends and relatives visit with gifts, sweets and best wishes for the season. And the final day of the festival is called Bhai Dooj.It honors the close bond between brothers and sisters and is observed with traditional ceremonies and more delicious foods.

The whole village feels very much like one happy family get-together when people from nearby cities or neighboring countries celebrate the festive season in their childhood homes. On Christmas Day, I woke up to the familiar (熟悉的) sound of my mother calling my name and knocking on my door.As is morning tradition on that day, everyone was preparing gifts for the festival.I quickly put on my favourite clothes.Along with my parents and two brothers, we walked a little more than a mile to the small village store.On our way there, my brother wisely advised me to ask for drinks as goods were likely to run out because of high need from the holiday. When I stepped into that small familiar store that still smells of childhood, it looked as if it were frozen in time.The shelves were stocked with the same village basics—cooking oil, salt, bread, candy, milk, stationery, matches, candles... As I was placing my drink orders, two young boys about 5 and 8 years old walked in with big smiles.Their clothes were oversized, old and tattered (破烂的). The older brother emptied his pockets, and placing a handful of coins on the counter (柜台), cheerfully explained they had been sent to buy food for Christmas.He asked for “two loaves of bread, cooking oil, milk and...” Before he could finish, the younger brother added, “Our mother said we could buy candy with the change.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 “It is only 24 cents change left.What would you like to buy？” said the shopkeeper. The two boys clapped hands (拍手), a traditional way of saying thanks to me. 参考范文： “It is only 24 cents change left.What would you like to buy？” said the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was slightly annoyed that the kids had stopped my conversation with him.They pointed at different candies behind the glass display.“Five of those！” the younger brother said.“And five of the yellow ones, too.My sister likes them.” The shopkeeper said, “That is more than plenty for the change.” “It's OK, they can have whatever they want，” I said with a smile.“It's Christmas Day today, and you can add it to my order.” The two boys clapped hands (拍手), a traditional way of saying thanks to me. I told them to get whatever they wanted.“Can we add five candles, for Mum，Dad, my sister, my brother and me, too？” the older brother politely asked me.I nodded and the two brothers started dancing with joy.In all, their order cost me less than $5.But I could tell from their grinning faces that I might as well have been their Santa.With my drinks, I walked to my parents and brothers.We all smiled, seeing those happy figures gradually disappear in our vision. 学生用书第62页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
