What happens if we use these traditional art styles in cartoons? In fact, Chinese cartoon makers have been working on this. Their works are full of Chinese features (特征). Little Tadpole Looking for Mummy, 1960 This is China’s first ink wash cartoon. Influenced by the great artist Qi Baishi, the cartoon makers drew all the animals, plants, weeds and rocks in the film with ink and brush. It’s only about 15 minutes long, but it took lots of work The cartoon artists drew everything by hand. They used different kinds of lines and colors to bring everything to life! The Legend of Sealed Book, 1983 It also uses ink wash painting for its backgrounds (背景) And it uses other traditional arts, too. The characters (人物) used makeup (妆容) in Peking Opera to help show their personalities (个性). For example, the roles for kids in Peking Opera have distinctive facial patterns. “It shows Chinese artists’ ideas in cartoons—special, funny and beautiful.” said the film maker. Pigsy Eats Watermelon, 1958 Zhu Bajie finds some watermelons. He doesn’t bring the fruit back to his hungry friends, but enjoys the watermelons all by himself. The character Zhu Bajie was cut out of colored paper. Cartoon makers moved its body parts and let it “eat” the watermelon.

The best-known version is “goose stewed in iron wok”, made with potatoes, pickled cabbage, and other fresh ingredients. Stewing became popular in Northeast China because it saves both time and energy. It also brings out rich flavors. The dish often includes chewy (有嚼劲的) meat and soft vegetables, helping locals stay warm during the freezing winter. People believe the first snowy days are the best time to enjoy it. Even when you don’t feel like going out to a restaurant, a homemade version still brings great comfort. As the stew warms the room and fills the air with its rich smell, the cold world outside feels far away. ________________ On cold winter nights in Seoul, I often miss bulgogi jeongol (韩式烤肉火锅), my mom’s annual specialty for our big family. The rich aroma (香气) of marinated (腌制的) beef, fresh veggies and glass noodles filled our house, chasing away the cold. We placed the hot pot on the table, and Mom poured the sweet and savory broth (高汤) over neatly arranged ingredients. As it bubbled, we used ladles (长柄勺) to pick our favorites, dipping everything in Mom’s special sauce. We ate hot and chatted happily, feeling cozy despite the snow outside. This warm family dinner is still my most cherished memory. Jiguanjiao: A Wuhan Cultural SymbolJiguanjiao, named one of the most famous traditional snacks of Wuhan, Hubei, is a cultural symbol of local street food. Made with fermented dough and filled with fresh vegetables or minced meat, it is popular among locals and tourists. These fried dumplings have a unique crispy texture.

Instead, they came up with interesting games to play in their childhood. Let’s take a look. Playing hide-and-seekHide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to play a trick on him or more commonly, others hide and one child must try to find them. Setting off firecrackers (鞭炮)Firecrackers have a history of more than 2, 000 years. It is said that there was a beast (野兽) named Nian in ancient China, and people burnt bamboo joints (竹节) to make them blast (爆炸) to drive away the beast. After gunpowder which is one of the four ancient Chinese inventions was invented, it gradually replaced the bamboo joints. Nowadays, firecrackers are still set off during Spring Festival. Watching shadow playsThe most similar thing to watching a film during ancient times was going to see a shadow play. The artists controlled puppets (木偶) behind the screen to make the puppets move like people and tell stories. People liked listening to the music and enjoyed the beautiful puppets. Kicking stone ballsDuring the Qing Dynasty (1644—1911), kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to keep warm. Stones were cut into small balls and kicked along with feet. 26．How can hide-and-seek be played in the more common way? A．One hides and others find. B．One covers eyes and others run.

Those are kites, an important part of Chinese culture with a long history. The earliest kites in China date back to over 2,000 years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period. At first, they were used for military purposes—soldiers used them to send messages or measure distances. Later, kites became popular among ordinary people as a form of entertainment and people have great fun with them.   Chinese kites are famous for their beautiful designs and rich meanings. Common patterns include dragons, phoenixes, butterflies, and fish. Each pattern has a special symbol: dragon is a symbol of power and good luck, while fish stands for prosperity (繁荣). Making a kite is a careful craft. Craftsmen use bamboo for the frame because it is light and strong, then cover it with colorful silk or paper. They often paint traditional stories or natural scenes on the surface, making each kite a work of art. Flying kites is a popular activity in China, especially during the Spring Festival and Qingming Festival. People believe that flying kites can bring good luck and drive away bad luck. In some areas, there are even kite festivals where people gather to show off their beautifully made kites and compete with each other. Today, Chinese kites have spread around the world, becoming a symbol of Chinese culture and friendship. 31．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a story. B．By giving a fact.

He decided to go to China and learn Beijing Opera in a Chinese theater school. The school offered him a place to practice. It was good because he could practice whenever he wanted.

It is the highest expression of the Chinese culture. It’s full of famous stories, beautiful facial paintings and wonderful fighting. This kind of opera is very popular with Chinese people. There are four main roles in Beijing Opera. A Wusheng is a soldier or fighter. A Xiaosheng is a young man. A Laosheng is an old man. Dan is a woman.

It has gone through over 100 years of development and has won the hearts of international audiences with its unique charm. Unlike some Western animation that focuses on funny plots only, Chinese animation always mixes traditional culture with interesting stories.

These traditional elements make Chinese animation different from others and help foreign people understand Chinese culture better. In recent years, Chinese animators have kept learning advanced skills from other countries and improving their own works. Films like Ne Zha and Monkey King: Hero is Back have been shown in many foreign countries. They get high scores on international film websites and make more people fall in love with Chinese animation.

Usually, I would make it only a few days before slipping back into my old habit: Drinking only when I was thirsty. The same thing happened when I decided to start journaling, walking 8,000 steps a day, doing daily push-ups, and so on. Several years ago, though, I decided to do something truly different: Stop setting myself up for failure. Now, during the first week of January, I sit down and list the things I did in the past year that made me feel good. ★ . This year’s list includes seeing live concerts, traveling, and running ten kilometers for the first time. Once I’m done, I go into my calendar and schedule time for more of these activities. But I don’t blindly pick a few dates. I check which of my favorite artists are touring (巡回表演) and when tickets will go on sale. I research travel destinations and book flights. By doing this, I’m ensuring my future happiness. This process made me wonder if other people had found interesting ways of thinking about New Year’s resolutions. I reached out to a few experts. My first call was to Oliver Burkeman, a British journalist. He said that resolutions can sometimes make people feel worse, not better. “We often expect big changes to be done perfectly from the start,” he explained. Therefore, whatever you hope to do in the new year, allow yourself to start poorly. Ten minutes of jogging is far more valuable than all these “perfect” workout plans. Next, I called Chris Bennett, a running coach, to get his thoughts on resolutions. He gave me some surprising advice: Don’t make any. Instead, double down on the healthy habits you already have and celebrate them. Back when I worked in magazines, the January issues were filled with phrases like “New Year, New You.” But I’ve learned that the new year doesn’t need to be a time of big change. Whether you make a resolution or just continue what’s already working, the “old you” might be doing just fine. 71．What does the underlined phrase “the same thing” refer to? A．Making a new plan and sticking to it for a long time. B．Failing to keep New Year’s resolutions for a short time. C．Drinking eight glasses of water every day without fail. D．Deciding to do something truly different from the past. 72．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．I used to set goals that were too difficult for me. B．I also make it a rule to record these happy moments in my notebook. C．I have always been interested in different cultures around the world. D．I finally realized that my old habits were impossible to change. 73．What do Burkeman’s and Bennett’s advice on making New Year’s resolutions have in common? A．They both encourage people to make big changes at the beginning. B．They both think that perfect resolutions are the key to success. C．They both believe that people don’t need to pursue perfect or dramatic changes at the beginning. D．They both advise people to ignore their old habits and start over. 74．How did the author move from the author’s own experience to expert advice in the article? A．By comparing different experts’ opinions directly. B．By sharing her story and then seeking professional views to support it. C．By listing data to prove her old plans were wrong.

Influenced by the great artist Qi Baishi, the cartoon makers drew all the animals, plants, weeds and rocks in the film with ink and brush.

The best-known version is “goose stewed in iron wok”, made with potatoes, pickled cabbage, and other fresh ingredients. Stewing became popular in Northeast China because it saves both time and energy. It also brings out rich flavors. The dish often includes chewy (有嚼劲的) meat and soft vegetables, helping locals stay warm during the freezing winter. People believe the first snowy days are the best time to enjoy it. Even when you don’t feel like going out to a restaurant, a homemade version still brings great comfort. As the stew warms the room and fills the air with its rich smell, the cold world outside feels far away. ________________ On cold winter nights in Seoul, I often miss bulgogi jeongol (韩式烤肉火锅), my mom’s annual specialty for our big family. The rich aroma (香气) of marinated (腌制的) beef, fresh veggies and glass noodles filled our house, chasing away the cold. We placed the hot pot on the table, and Mom poured the sweet and savory broth (高汤) over neatly arranged ingredients. As it bubbled, we used ladles (长柄勺) to pick our favorites, dipping everything in Mom’s special sauce. We ate hot and chatted happily, feeling cozy despite the snow outside. This warm family dinner is still my most cherished memory. Jiguanjiao: A Wuhan Cultural SymbolJiguanjiao, named one of the most famous traditional snacks of Wuhan, Hubei, is a cultural symbol of local street food. Made with fermented dough and filled with fresh vegetables or minced meat, it is popular among locals and tourists. These fried dumplings have a unique crispy texture.

Instead, they came up with interesting games to play in their childhood. Let’s take a look. Playing hide-and-seekHide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to play a trick on him or more commonly, others hide and one child must try to find them. Setting off firecrackers (鞭炮)Firecrackers have a history of more than 2, 000 years. It is said that there was a beast (野兽) named Nian in ancient China, and people burnt bamboo joints (竹节) to make them blast (爆炸) to drive away the beast. After gunpowder which is one of the four ancient Chinese inventions was invented, it gradually replaced the bamboo joints. Nowadays, firecrackers are still set off during Spring Festival. Watching shadow playsThe most similar thing to watching a film during ancient times was going to see a shadow play. The artists controlled puppets (木偶) behind the screen to make the puppets move like people and tell stories. People liked listening to the music and enjoyed the beautiful puppets. Kicking stone ballsDuring the Qing Dynasty (1644—1911), kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to keep warm. Stones were cut into small balls and kicked along with feet. 26．How can hide-and-seek be played in the more common way? A．One hides and others find. B．One covers eyes and others run.

Those are kites, an important part of Chinese culture with a long history. The earliest kites in China date back to over 2,000 years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period. At first, they were used for military purposes—soldiers used them to send messages or measure distances. Later, kites became popular among ordinary people as a form of entertainment and people have great fun with them.   Chinese kites are famous for their beautiful designs and rich meanings. Common patterns include dragons, phoenixes, butterflies, and fish. Each pattern has a special symbol: dragon is a symbol of power and good luck, while fish stands for prosperity (繁荣). Making a kite is a careful craft. Craftsmen use bamboo for the frame because it is light and strong, then cover it with colorful silk or paper. They often paint traditional stories or natural scenes on the surface, making each kite a work of art. Flying kites is a popular activity in China, especially during the Spring Festival and Qingming Festival. People believe that flying kites can bring good luck and drive away bad luck. In some areas, there are even kite festivals where people gather to show off their beautifully made kites and compete with each other. Today, Chinese kites have spread around the world, becoming a symbol of Chinese culture and friendship. 31．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a story. B．By giving a fact.

When he was young, he was very interested in Chinese culture like Beijing Opera. He often dreamed of going to China one day. When he was learning theater at university, he was provided with a chance to study abroad. There was a program to study Asian theater arts either in China or in India. He decided to go to China and learn Beijing Opera in a Chinese theater school. The school offered him a place to practice. It was good because he could practice whenever he wanted. Also he had a private lesson—the teacher would give him one-to-one classes for three hours. That was the best part of his study in China. Beijing Opera is also called Peking Opera. It is the highest expression of the Chinese culture. It’s full of famous stories, beautiful facial paintings and wonderful fighting. This kind of opera is very popular with Chinese people. There are four main roles in Beijing Opera. A Wusheng is a soldier or fighter. A Xiaosheng is a young man. A Laosheng is an old man. Dan is a woman. Stories in Beijing Opera are very interesting, some of them are from history books, but most of them are from the literature, especially famous novels. The stories usually end with happiness.

It has gone through over 100 years of development and has won the hearts of international audiences with its unique charm. Unlike some Western animation that focuses on funny plots only, Chinese animation always mixes traditional culture with interesting stories.

These traditional elements make Chinese animation different from others and help foreign people understand Chinese culture better. In recent years, Chinese animators have kept learning advanced skills from other countries and improving their own works. Films like Ne Zha and Monkey King: Hero is Back have been shown in many foreign countries. They get high scores on international film websites and make more people fall in love with Chinese animation.

Usually, I would make it only a few days before slipping back into my old habit: Drinking only when I was thirsty. The same thing happened when I decided to start journaling, walking 8,000 steps a day, doing daily push-ups, and so on. Several years ago, though, I decided to do something truly different: Stop setting myself up for failure. Now, during the first week of January, I sit down and list the things I did in the past year that made me feel good. ★ . This year’s list includes seeing live concerts, traveling, and running ten kilometers for the first time. Once I’m done, I go into my calendar and schedule time for more of these activities. But I don’t blindly pick a few dates. I check which of my favorite artists are touring (巡回表演) and when tickets will go on sale. I research travel destinations and book flights. By doing this, I’m ensuring my future happiness. This process made me wonder if other people had found interesting ways of thinking about New Year’s resolutions. I reached out to a few experts. My first call was to Oliver Burkeman, a British journalist. He said that resolutions can sometimes make people feel worse, not better. “We often expect big changes to be done perfectly from the start,” he explained. Therefore, whatever you hope to do in the new year, allow yourself to start poorly. Ten minutes of jogging is far more valuable than all these “perfect” workout plans. Next, I called Chris Bennett, a running coach, to get his thoughts on resolutions. He gave me some surprising advice: Don’t make any. Instead, double down on the healthy habits you already have and celebrate them. Back when I worked in magazines, the January issues were filled with phrases like “New Year, New You.” But I’ve learned that the new year doesn’t need to be a time of big change. Whether you make a resolution or just continue what’s already working, the “old you” might be doing just fine. 71．What does the underlined phrase “the same thing” refer to? A．Making a new plan and sticking to it for a long time. B．Failing to keep New Year’s resolutions for a short time. C．Drinking eight glasses of water every day without fail. D．Deciding to do something truly different from the past. 72．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．I used to set goals that were too difficult for me. B．I also make it a rule to record these happy moments in my notebook. C．I have always been interested in different cultures around the world. D．I finally realized that my old habits were impossible to change. 73．What do Burkeman’s and Bennett’s advice on making New Year’s resolutions have in common? A．They both encourage people to make big changes at the beginning. B．They both think that perfect resolutions are the key to success. C．They both believe that people don’t need to pursue perfect or dramatic changes at the beginning. D．They both advise people to ignore their old habits and start over. 74．How did the author move from the author’s own experience to expert advice in the article? A．By comparing different experts’ opinions directly. B．By sharing her story and then seeking professional views to support it. C．By listing data to prove her old plans were wrong. D．By telling a joke to make readers relaxed. 75．Why did the author write this article? A．To explain why many people’s New Year’s resolutions fail. B．To teach people how to make perfect New Year’s resolutions. C．To share a new way of thinking about New Year’s resolutions.
