In ancient China, there were “four treasures of the study (文房四宝)”—the writing brush, ink, paper, and the inkstone (砚台). Among all the inkstones, the Chengni inkstone was one of the most famous and was widely loved.
The Chengni inkstone first appeared during the Western Han dynasty (朝代), but the skills of making it were lost during the late Ming dynasty and early Qing dynasty. Thankfully, today the traditional skills of making the Chengni inkstone have been revived (恢复) with the help of Lin Yongmao and his son Lin Tao.
In 1984, Lin Yongmao began working at the museum in Xinjiang, Shanxi Province. There, he read some books about the Xinjiang Chengni inkstone, and then he decided to revive the lost skills.
It was easier said than done. It took two years to find proper materials to make the Chengni inkstone. That was just the first step. After failing many times, they finally succeeded in making two Chengni inkstones in 1991. Three years later, their Chengni inkstones won a gold prize at an expo (博览会) on China’s famous inkstones.
But the father and son did not stop. While improving the skills of making the Chengni inkstone, they set up a workshop in the hope of passing the skills on to young people. They also worked with universities and colleges to make the Chengni inkstone more popular. At the same time, Lin Tao has created special Chengni inkstone products and brought them to competitions at home and abroad to increase the influence of the Chengni inkstone.
21. What do we know about the Chengni inkstone?
A. It has quite a long history. B. It was popular only in Shanxi Province.
C. It became famous in the late Qing dynasty. D. It first appeared during the Eastern Han dynasty.
22. Why did Lin Yongmao and his son set up a workshop?
A. To sell Chengni inkstones at a high price. B. To pass the making skills on to young people.
C. To win more prizes in different expos. D. To work with universities and colleges.
23. What is the purpose of Paragraph 4?
A. To tell readers how to make the Chengni inkstone.
B. To explain how hard it is to revive the Chengni inkstone.
C. To encourage readers to learn about China’s famous inkstones.
D. To help readers understand the importance of the Chengni inkstone.
24. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?
A. The father and son did easy work to revive the skills.
B. The father and son made the inkstone without setting a goal.
C. Reviving the Chengni inkstone-making skills was quite challenging.
D. People didn’t believe the father and son could revive the skills.

Brian was so thankful that he decided to set up a home for birds that were not wanted by their owners.
Now 15 years later, his house is home to about 80 birds, which includes many different kinds of birds. The birds fly around from room to room, some cackling (发出咯咯声), others talking like humans. Though they all have big cages, Brian lets them fly freely inside the house.
Over the years, Brian has developed a special relationship with birds. If the birds bite other humans, it seems that they like him and can get along with him well. He is now called a bird whisperer (鸟语者).
Brian pays for most of the costs of looking after the birds from his own money, but he has recently set up a foundation (基金会) to accept donations. He and his birds also make money by performing at birthday parties, weddings and other social events.
