Before each Spring Festival, she cuts flowers, birds and zodiac animals for windows. For the Year of the Snake, she designed a friendly snake surrounded by fruit and flowers. She wanted the picture to bring people hope and good wishes. Yuan first learned paper-cutting from older family members. They showed her how to fold paper and move the scissors slowly. A small mistake could change an animal’s eyes or tail, so she always worked carefully. Later, she added ideas from daily life to the old art. Her zodiac works became lively and easy to understand. Visitors often ask why one animal appears everywhere during the festival. Yuan explains that the Chinese zodiac follows a twelve-year cycle, and each year has an animal sign. She enjoys sharing this knowledge while showing her art. In her view, paper-cutting is not only decoration. It also carries family memories and helps an old tradition enter modern homes. 41. How long has Yuan worked with paper? A. Around forty years. B. Over fifty years. C. Nearly thirty years. D. About twenty years. 42. What surrounded the snake? A. Stars and clouds. B. Birds and rivers. C. Houses and trees. D. Fruit and flowers. 43. Which statement is TRUE? A. She learned from family. B. She avoided new ideas. C. She worked very quickly. D. She only cut birds. 44.

Designers put zodiac pictures on stamps, coins, toys and clothes. These products mix traditional ideas with modern style. A popular gift is a small snake toy wearing a red hat. Its round face makes the animal look friendly rather than frightening. Some jewellery uses the shape of a snake moving through green leaves. Other products show the full group of twelve animals. Buyers can choose their own sign or select one as a present for a family member. The products are not made only for sale. Each design carries wishes for health, happiness or success. Young buyers enjoy the bright colours, while older people recognise familiar cultural symbols. Foreign visitors also use the gifts to learn why the zodiac cycle repeats every twelve years. By turning old animal signs into useful objects, designers bring traditional culture closer to daily life. 46. When do shops prepare zodiac products? A. After National Day. B. During summer holidays. C. Before Mid-Autumn Festival. D. Before Spring Festival. 47. What does the snake toy wear? A. A red hat. B. A green coat. C. A golden bell. D. A blue scarf. 48. Which statement is NOT TRUE? A. Designs use modern styles. B. Visitors learn zodiac culture. C. Gifts carry no wishes. D. Buyers choose family signs. 49. What does “recognise” mean? A. Buy at a low price. B.

Before each Spring Festival, she cuts flowers, birds and zodiac animals for windows. For the Year of the Snake, she designed a friendly snake surrounded by fruit and flowers. She wanted the picture to bring people hope and good wishes. Yuan first learned paper-cutting from older family members. They showed her how to fold paper and move the scissors slowly. A small mistake could change an animal’s eyes or tail, so she always worked carefully. Later, she added ideas from daily life to the old art. Her zodiac works became lively and easy to understand. Visitors often ask why one animal appears everywhere during the festival. Yuan explains that the Chinese zodiac follows a twelve-year cycle, and each year has an animal sign. She enjoys sharing this knowledge while showing her art. In her view, paper-cutting is not only decoration. It also carries family memories and helps an old tradition enter modern homes. 41. How long has Yuan worked with paper? A. Around forty years. B. Over fifty years. C. Nearly thirty years. D. About twenty years. 42. What surrounded the snake? A. Stars and clouds. B. Birds and rivers. C. Houses and trees. D. Fruit and flowers. 43. Which statement is TRUE? A. She learned from family. B. She avoided new ideas. C. She worked very quickly. D. She only cut birds. 44.

A Festival without Art Passage 2 Zodiac Gifts Bring New Festival Style Before the Spring Festival, shops across China prepare products for the coming animal year. Designers put zodiac pictures on stamps, coins, toys and clothes. These products mix traditional ideas with modern style. A popular gift is a small snake toy wearing a red hat. Its round face makes the animal look friendly rather than frightening. Some jewellery uses the shape of a snake moving through green leaves. Other products show the full group of twelve animals. Buyers can choose their own sign or select one as a present for a family member. The products are not made only for sale. Each design carries wishes for health, happiness or success. Young buyers enjoy the bright colours, while older people recognise familiar cultural symbols. Foreign visitors also use the gifts to learn why the zodiac cycle repeats every twelve years. By turning old animal signs into useful objects, designers bring traditional culture closer to daily life. 46. When do shops prepare zodiac products? A. After National Day. B. During summer holidays. C. Before Mid-Autumn Festival. D. Before Spring Festival. 47. What does the snake toy wear? A. A red hat. B. A green coat. C. A golden bell. D. A blue scarf. 48. Which statement is NOT TRUE? A. Designs use modern styles. B. Visitors learn zodiac culture. C. Gifts carry no wishes. D. Buyers choose family signs. 49. What does “recognise” mean? A. Buy at a low price. B.
