Last year,I joined a school club that promotes Chinese cultural elements overseas.Our first
task was to introduce paper-cutting to foreign students in our sister school.
At first,I was nervous because I didn't know if the foreign friends would be 1 in this art.
I spent much time preparing:collecting paper-cut styles,making PPTs about its origin,and
81

practising how to 2 the skills clearly.My teacher said that 3 I showed passion and
patience,they'd surely be attracted.
On the activity day,we set up a booth with paper-cuts on display.Many foreign students came
over.I explained the 4 of paper-cutting in Chinese culture-how it's used in festivals.Then I
cut a simple rabbit.To my surprise,they followed my steps 5 and asked many questions.A
German girl said she'd seen paper-cuts in a museum but never made them.6 she tried cutting,
she fell in love with this art.We 7 them paper and scissors for practice.Though their works
weren't perfect,everyone had fun.
We also talked about paper-cutting's spread worldwide.Foreign designers are 8 its
elements to clothes and decorations.This made me proud of our culture.
As the activity ended,many asked for similar events-they wanted to learn kite making and
calligraphy too.I realized that the 9 we share our culture,the more people will love China.
This experience taught me that cultural differences are not barriers 10 bridges.We should
spread our culture confidently.
A month later,the sister school sent a letter:they held a paper-cut exhibition!Their works
were creative.Seeing photos of them,I felt strongly 11 of our culture.
To improve future activities,we'll collect 12 paper-cut styles from across China.
Shaanxi's are bold,while Guangdong's are delicate.We'll also invite a paper-cut master with over
40 years of experience-he knows rare 13 techniques.
This activity was just the start.We'll organize more to spread Chinese culture.We believe it
will 14 to more corners of the world.
Looking back,I'm glad I joined the club.Cultural sharing needs sincerity-only if we love our
culture can we make others 15 it too.

A
The Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games took place from Feb.6 to 22.The
Games were special because they were co-hosted by two cities for the first time in Winter
Olympic history.
The competition sites were spread across four locations:Milan,Valtellina,Val di Fiemme,
and Cortina.Travelling between these places usually took more than five hours one way,as they
were 250 to 400 kilometres apart."It was almost impossible to bring athletes from the mountains
to the city for the opening ceremony,"Andrea Varnier,the CEO of the Milano-Cortina organizing
committee(委员会),said.
That was why the opening ceremony did not take place in just one city.Apart from the main
event in Milan,there were smaller ceremonies and athlete parades in other Olympic locations.Two
cauldrons()were lit at the same time-one at Milan's Arco della Pace and the other at
Cortina's Piazza Angelo Dibona,the organizing committee said.
Varnier said that the competition sites were spread out to make use of the already-built ones so
they would not be wasted after the Games.Sustainability was a key goal of the Winter Olympics.
Even though travelling between the competition sites was difficult,the advantages made it all worth it.
There were 16 sports disciplines((体育项目)and 116 medal events..Ski mountaineering became
an Olympic sport for the first time.In this event,athletes first skied uphill,and then carried their
skis while cimbing.On the top,they took the skins off their skis and raced downhill to the finish line.
During the Games,athletes from all over the world competed and celebrated unity()and
the Olympic spirit.It was an event to remember,showing how the Olympics can adapt()and
innovate(创新).Let's cheer for them together!

2.What could we learn about the opening ceremony?
A.It was a five-hour celebration.
B.The main ceremony was held in Milan.

D.Only one cauldron was lit at Milan's Arco della Pace.
3.What could we infer from Paragraph 4?
A.The use of the already-built competition sites prevented waste.

B传统文化
In China,a special tradition-the Shuxiu Ceremony is coming back.
Long ago,students showed respect for teachers by giving simple gifts.Usually,they gave
dried meat.They also gave symbolic things like celery(芹菜),lotus seeds(莲子)and red beans..
Each has a deep meaning.Confucius,a great philosopher and educator,said he would teach anyone
bringing such gifts.This made education open to all,not just the rich.Today,students keep this
tradition in creative ways.In Sichuan,some graduates used fresh pork and celery on bamboo poles
to thank teachers.A student named Zhou Yiwei gave six symbolic gifts:dried meat for thanks,
celery for hard work,lotus seeds for not giving up,.red dates(红枣)for success,.longan(龙眼)for
wisdom,and red beans for a bright future.
Why do young people like this old tradition?One student said,"Flowers die in three days.But
when my teacher cooks the fresh pork,she'll remember our class forever!"The ceremony shows
that respect is more important than expensive gifts.When teachers get these simple gifts in tears,
we see the deep feeling of this tradition.At its heart,Shuxiu is about passing on values,not just
knowledge.A student said,"We aren't copying the past.We use old wisdom to say'thank you'in
our own way.”
Times change,but the spirit of Shuxiu stays:True learning starts with thanks.By mixing old
customs and young creativity,students are planting new "seeds of respect".These will grow for
people in the future.
6.What was the purpose of the Shuxiu Ceremony in ancient China?
A.To celebrate the beginning of a new term.B.To help students make friends with teachers.
C.To show students'respect for their teachers.D.To ask teachers for better grades.
7.Why did Confucius accept students who brought simple gifts?
A.Because he liked the taste of dried meat.
B.Because he wanted to make education open to everyone.
C.Because he needed these things for his life.
D.Because he thought the gifts were very valuable.
8.How did Zhou Yiwei express his thanks to teachers?
A.By sending expensive flowers.
B.By writing a long thank-you letter.
C.By helping teachers do housework.
D.By giving six symbolic gifts.

Gardening as part of the school curriculum()began in the United States in the early 1900s
and school gardening has become very popular over these years.Parents and teachers say these
hands-on lessons can be used to teach many subjects.
Susan Hobart is a school teacher at Lake View Elementary School in Madison.She and her
students look after the school's large garden with 12 raised beds."Gardening is a great way to get
kids outside with a purpose.With the school gardens,kids can see a beginning,a middle and an
end to their project.If they just sat at desks,they wouldn't have this experience,"Hobart says.
She adds that the gardens help calm the kids and give them a different viewpoint on soil and food.
"If we had to buy the seedlings,they'd cost $3 each and we could never afford that,"Hobart
says."But there are plenty of creative ways to find help.We find seeds and seedlings from local
botanical gardens and our communities."Each spring,the school's children plant seeds and
seedlings in the garden.Over the summer,teachers and young children take care of the garden together.
Hobart says gardens do not have to take up a large area outdoors.For schools without space
for even a small garden,turning to local botanical gardens and parks can sometimes be a good choice.
In the school garden,teachers can teach students how to grow food and flowers.They can also
teach science,social studies and even art there."Giving kids the opportunity to move outside and
find worms-especially if their teachers are excited about it-is important,"Hobart says.
"Having a garden in a school is just as important as any other education,"Finley says."The
act of gardening teaches you where food comes from and teaches you to have a feeling of great
respect for soil.If kids have reverence()for soil,it's a life skill.I see this as one of the most
valuable lessons of humanity.
根据短文内容,回答问题。(每题答案不超过11个词)
