They wanted me to take lessons every Saturday at 3 p.m. But at that time, I really wanted to watch my favorite TV show during that hour. I didn’t want anything to interrupt (打扰) my weekend fun. So I said no to the piano plan. Now, we don’t even have a piano at home. Years passed, and Diane became an engineer. But she never stopped loving music. When she was in her forties, she gave up her job. She went back to school to study music and later became a music teacher. Recently, she had her first music show. All our friends and family came. While she played, I looked around the room. Everyone sat quietly, listening carefully. They closed their eyes and smiled, enjoying the beautiful music.

C Chinese calligraphy is an important part of traditional Chinese culture. It started in China and spread (传播) to other parts of Asia. It has a history of 4,000 to 5,000 years. Calligraphy is the art of writing Chinese characters (汉字). When you practice calligraphy, it is important to pay attention to the changes of the strokes (笔画) and the space between characters. There are different rules of writing. You can follow the rules at first and create your own rules when you are really good at them. There are many famous calligraphers in history, such as Wang Xizhi and Liu Gongquan. Different calligraphy works can show different calligraphers’ feelings and personalities. Today, we can see them on the walls of offices, shops, hotels and many other places. The tool for practicing calligraphy is a calligraphy brush. They are usually made from the hair of different animals. Practicing calligraphy takes a lot of time, and many people take lessons to learn it. During the lessons, they can learn how to write different strokes of Chinese characters. If you’re interested in it, you may start practicing with a teacher right away. Calligraphy, an amazing traditional art form, shows the love that all Chinese people have for culture and beauty. Many Chinese people often practice calligraphy, not to be a calligrapher, but to enjoy the peaceful mind. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 11. How long is the history of Chinese calligraphy? A. 1,000 to 2,000 years.
