A
Chinese paper‑cutting (剪纸) has a history of more than 1,500 years. It was listed as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2009. Paper‑cutting is used for decoration during festivals like the Spring Festival and weddings. Red paper is the most common because red means happiness in Chinese culture.
Making paper‑cuts requires great patience and skill. Artists first draw a pattern on paper, then use scissors or a knife to cut it out. The most difficult part is to keep the lines connected.
Li Yunxia, a young artist from Shaanxi, started learning paper‑cutting from her grandmother at the age of eight. In 2018, she gave up a job in a big city to return to her hometown. She now teaches children in a local school. “I want to show them that a small piece of paper can tell a big story,” she said.
Li also uses new ideas. She cuts modern subjects like space rockets and high-speed trains. Her works have been shown in Japan and France. “Tradition is not about staying the same. It is about living and growing,” Li says.
( ) 1. When is paper‑cutting usually used according to the passage?
A. Only at the Spring Festival. B. During festivals and weddings.
C. Only at birthday parties. D. Every day in the office.
( ) 2. Why did Li Yunxia return to her hometown?
A. She could not find a job in the city. B. She wanted to teach paper‑cutting to children.
C. Her grandmother asked her to come back. D. She wanted to cut modern subjects.
( ) 3. What can we infer from Li Yunxia’s story?
A. Traditional art should never be changed.
B. Young people are not interested in paper‑cutting.
C. It is easy to learn paper‑cutting in a few weeks.
D. Traditional art can be combined with modern life.
B
Should teenagers learn traditional crafts like pottery (陶艺) and weaving at school? Some people think it is a waste of time, but others believe it brings many benefits.
First, making things by hand improves concentration. When a student shapes a clay bowl, they must pay attention to every movement. This helps them focus better in other classes, too.
Second, learning crafts teaches problem‑solving. If a piece of cloth is too short, the student must find a way to fix it. These small challenges build creative thinking.
Third, craft classes bring students closer to their own culture. By making a traditional clay tea set, they learn about the history behind it. Many students later show more interest in visiting museums and reading about ancient skills.
Finally, working with hands gives a break from screens. In a world of phones and computers, sitting at a pottery wheel is a quiet joy. As one student said, “When I make something by myself, I feel really proud.”
( ) 4. What is the writer’s opinion about learning traditional crafts in school?
A. It is only a fun activity. B. It has several educational advantages.
C. It takes too much time from main subjects. D. It should be cancelled.
( ) 5. According to the passage, how do craft classes help with problem‑solving?
A. By giving students difficult maths problems.
B. By letting students find solutions when making things.
C. By asking students to write reports about crafts.
D. By showing videos of famous artists.
( ) 6. What does the underlined word “concentration” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. The ability to run fast. B. The ability to keep paying attention.
C. The ability to remember things. D. The ability to speak well.
