The Chinese art of paper cutting has a long history. The earliest paper cutting was found in China in the Northern Dynasties. The United Nations Educational， Scientific and Cultural Organization has added the art， called jianzhi， to its Intangible Cultural Heritage. But jianzhi is at risk of disappearing. Voyo Woo， a Chinese immigrant to the US， hopes to bring the art back to life.

Ms Woo loves paper cutting. And she works hard to celebrate the ancient art form. On a recent Saturday， Ms Woo held a paper cutting show at a shopping center near Washington. She demonstrated the art to crowds for hours at the center.

Ms Woo began to study the art of paper cutting as a 14-year-old girl in her hometown in southeastern China. She said all the students at school had to learn the art. But she developed a special love for it， so her teacher gave her extra training after class. Later， she won second prize in a national painting and handwriting competition. Ms Woo came to the US after she finished college in 2008. Soon after， she became involved in an event to support and expand understanding of Chinese paper cutting. She has been invited to demonstrate the art at a wide collection of events. She has also shown her skill at famous museums like the Smithsonian Institution’s Freer and Sackler art galleries in Washington. Ms Woo says paper cutting represents Chinese cultural values， history and stories of people’s lives. She uses the art as a tool to present Chinese culture to people who know little about it.

Ms Woo placed examples of her art around her as she demonstrated paper cutting at the shopping center. Some shoppers， like Ann Russ， took part in a workshop. Ms Russ was struck by the finely detailed nature of the work. Ms Woo says Chinese art is for all people. “It is amazing how Chinese art can echo with people from other cultural backgrounds.”

The woman bringing Mandarin to Uganda

Wang Lihong Sooma， who moved to East Africa from China more than two decades ago， is determined to teach Ugandans how to speak Mandarin. 1 The first 30 teachers have now completed their training and have started holding Mandarin classes in schools across the country.

Forty more teachers are now enrolled （入學） and classes start at 8：00 and finish at 22：00 from Monday to Friday. 2 However， Pavin Mulokwa， a teacher from Mbarara， sees it as an opportunity to broaden her job prospects. Another trainee， Praise Twebaze， agrees and hopes it will enable him to travel too.

From Xi’an city in central China， the 39-year-old left her husband and child behind to come and teach but was warned by her family and friends not to because of “diseases and war”. “ 4 When I go back to China， I will introduce the real Africa to the people in China and change their way of looking at Africa.”

Wang’s goal is to have 100 teachers trained up and to teach Mandarin in 50 Ugandan schools. She sees it as a win-win situation， giving the example of how Chinese have benefited from learning English. “ 5 We learnt their technology and skills and then we developed.”

A. They learn our language.

B. I just think in the same way.

C. We learnt their language and we understood them.

D. She organises a nine-month course for teachers to learn Mandarin.

A

A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth. I believe that’s from cracking the seeds，” he said.

I had never noticed the habit， but once he mentioned it， I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report， I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds， and， to him， it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.

When we were young， the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then， we all lived close to one another， usually in a small city， and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.

I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room， a large table would already be laid out， complete with fancy tablecloth， ready-made dumpling fillings， and dishes full of candy， fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later， while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.

I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits， no matter how strange they may seem. It’s not only in China. When I went abroad， I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark， they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner， no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s delicious， and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.

1. What does the British friend’s words mean about sunflower seeds in Paragraph 1？

A. They are hard to crack. B. They are harmful to teeth.

C. They are not worth eating. D. They are not tasty.

2. What does the author tend to prove by mentioning Chinese New Year？

A. The families get together for it. B. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.

C. The traditions of celebrating it disappear. D. Children eat delicious food on that day.

3. What is the author’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread？

A. Unconcerned. B. Critical. C. Understandable. D. Doubtful.

4. What can we infer from the last paragraph？

A. It is good to form healthy eating habits.

B. Eating habits come from certain cultures.

C. Changing your eating habits will change your life.

D. One kind of food does not necessarily suit everyone.

B

Aimed at introducing the charm and beauty of traditional Chinese literature to viewers around the globe， the BBC documentary， Du Fu， China’s Greatest Poet， invited famous British actor Ian McKellen， who played the wizard （巫師） Gandalf in the film series The Lord of the Rings， to recite 15 of Du’s poems that have been translated into English.

The one-hour film traces the poet’s life experiences in detail. Born in 712， Du lived under the reign of the Tang Emperor Xuanzong （712—756）， a time marked by extraordinary prosperity， inclusiveness and cultural accomplishment. However， as the An Lushan Rebellion floored the empire， the 43-year-old Du， the former civil servant， had to take his family out of his hometown， and faced starvation and suffering. Through ups and downs， the poet never stopped writing and about 1，500 poems have been kept over the ages.

“Chinese people really value the recording of history and Du is better than anyone else at reflecting history in his poetry. That’s because historic events are mirrored in his own life and spiritual journey，” Zeng Xiangbo， a professor of ancient Chinese literature at Renmin University of China， told China Daily.

Even though he never held a high position in the government， Du still cared about common people. “A difficult life and his spirit of concern about the world helped him create so many masterpieces，” Shi Wenxue， a cultural critic based in Beijing， told Global Times.

Without doubt， Du is a cultural symbol of ancient China， but his brilliant works and core spirits have also inspired people outside of China. As the documentary noted， his work represents a precious cultural heritage for the entire world， not just China.

5. What can we learn about Ian McKellen according to Paragraph 1？

A. He reads poems in the documentary." " " " B. He becomes a big fan of Du Fu.

C. He is the director of the documentary." " " D. He is a British wizard.

6. Why do Chinese people think highly of Du Fu？

A. He never stopped writing poems." " " " " B. He experienced life’s ups and downs.

C. His poetry is a good reflection of history." " D. His poems are about the people.

7. What most inspired Du Fu’s creation according to Shi Wenxue？

A. His work experience." " " B. Hard life and his caring spirit.

C. The An Lushan Rebellion. D. The Tang Dynasty culture background.

8. What does the text mainly talk about？

A. Chinese literature becomes a hit in the UK.

B. British people fall in love with Chinese poetry.

C. Du Fu’s works gain popularity home and abroad.

D. China’s poet appears on the screen in the UK.
