A boat is in danger of crashing into the bridge
北宋时期,属于国家的粮食储备仓库,大都集中在东南城沿汴河一带。画中运粮的漕船,船主正在指挥工人卸粮,这些船中没有一条官船,也没有督粮官,朝廷已丢失国粮储运的机会。朝廷虽沿汴河建官仓,但这些粮食卸下后都将被运往粮商深巷里的私仓。
【递铺衙门】
这是一个负责传递朝廷文件的递铺,府中长官本应带队将公文及时送到下一站,可快到晌午长官仍未露面,递铺衙门口9名士卒或坐或躺军容不整,两只公文箱闲放两旁,可见北宋官府效率之低下。
【望火楼】
这个建于高处的亭子叫望火楼,是观察火情的楼阁。北宋开封城中每一坊(坊就像是现在的居民小区)都有望火亭,亭上需有人值班瞭望,亭下还有屯兵驻扎,一旦发现火情,可马上组织灭火。然而在画卷中,这唯有一处望火楼已失去该有的功能,厅内是歇脚的长凳,亭下开满了酒馆。
What verbs does the author employ in Para.4?
The Qingming Scroll not only ___________ a comprehensive look at life during the Northern Song Dynasty, but also ___________ serious political and social problems. For example, some boats carrying food do not seem to belong to the government, which ___________ that the government has lost control of food supplies and transportation. Officials are fighting for space on the bridge road, merchants occupy the street near the bridge, and a boat is in danger of crashing into the bridge, implying public security and traffic issues in society.

Dear Toby,
Hoping my letter can settle your questions and if you have any problems, please let me know. Yours Li Hua
Knowing that you show great interest in the Qingming Scroll, I’m writing to make a detailed introduction.
It is a five metre long silk scroll painted by Zhang Zeduan, presenting the real life scenes of Bianjing in the 12th century. In the scroll, you can see bustling streets, busy docks and ordinary people from all walks of life going about their daily business.
What impresses me most is its delicate painting techniques. With exquisite brushwork, the painter creates vivid figures and realistic scenes of daily life.
The scroll is of great artistic and historical value. It offers us a comprehensive look at the life of the Northern Song Dynasty. Meanwhile, it makes an outstanding contribution to Chinese art and has a deep influence on later artists.
