Chopsticks, known as “kuaizi” in Chinese, are a pair of small, equal-length (长度相同) sticks used mainly in many Asian countries for eating.
They are usually made of wood, bamboo, or even metal (金属). A pair of bronze (青铜的) chopsticks was discovered in the Ruins of Yin (殷墟), dating back to nearly 1300 BC. Since then, chopsticks have become a symbol of Asian cooking and cultural practices, more than just a tool for eating.
In China, chopsticks are 22 to 25 cm long and rectangular (矩形的) in shape. This design holds a symbolic meaning: the round end stands for the heavens, while the square end stands for the earth. This shows the ancient Chinese thought on keeping balance between the heavens and earth.
Using chopsticks correctly means more than just a skill. First, chopsticks should not be used to move bowls or plates. Second, do not stick chopsticks into a bowl of rice or other food. Besides, use serving chopsticks to get food from shared dishes!
Nowadays, chopsticks have gone beyond their traditional use as dining tools. Beautiful chopsticks are often given as gifts. Moreover, using chopsticks can help improve memory and finger dexterity.

On a cold and sunny Wednesday morning in Beijing, Xu Wei, a blind man, went to a community center to “watch” a film.
The experience inside the screening room was different from a common one. During quiet moments in the films, a friendly voice described everything happening on screen — the beautiful scenery, the characters’ actions, and even their facial expressions.
Guangming Cinema created this special film with the help of a special organization. This organization is run by volunteers and it focuses on making films for blind people for free. With over 17 million people with vision problems in China, the work is very important.
What audiences experience at Guangming Cinema might look simple, but the work behind it is difficult.
To make a 90-minute film, the volunteers watch it ten times, carefully studying every part of the film. Then they write a narration script (旁白脚本), usually 20000 to 30000 words in total. Next, three students, two teachers, and one blind person work together for 28 days to bring the film to life. So far, Guangming Cinema has already made over 800 films!
Over the years, the volunteers work closely with local disability organizations and schools. People with vision problems can see many of the films on TV and online at no cost. More importantly, they have more topics to talk about and are living a more colourful life.
In the future, the volunteers hope to provide more help for people with different disabilities to enjoy films, museums, and other cultural activities.
27. Which of the following is true about Xu Wei?
A. He has difficulty seeing. B. He has difficulty hearing.
C. He has difficulty talking. D. He has difficulty writing.
28. What’s the purpose of the special organization?
A. To provide jobs for blind people.
B. To improve blind people’s vision.
C. To donate money to blind people.
D. To make free films for blind people.
29. Where can we probably find this text?
A. In a storybook. B. In a newspaper.
C. In a classic novel. D. In a historical fiction.
30. What’s the main idea of this text?
A. A movie cinema run by the blind.
B. Difficulty in helping the disabled.
C. Useful ways to become a volunteer.
D. Special movies made for the blind.
