A Chinese knot is woven (编织) with a single rope. It has different shapes. Each shape has its own meaning. People can use ropes of different colors to weave a Chinese knot, but they usually use red because it means good luck.
The Chinese knot, a folk art, has a long history. People first made them to record information and send messages before they started to use words. The knots were used for decoration and to express thoughts and feelings in the Tang Dynasty. They were later popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties. But this art wasn’t really accepted by the common people until the Qing Dynasty.
Even today, Chinese knots still hold the value of feelings when they are sent as gifts. For example, lovers may give a knot to show their love. The “double happiness knot” is given and used at weddings to express each other’s love and wishes for growing old together.
Knots are also used when people make traditional clothes in China. They can play the role of buttons (纽扣) and now silk is widely used to make these clothing knots.

Many artists draw with pens and brushes, but few “paint” with knives. Wang Jing, a woman from Shenyang, China, has given most of her time and energy to this art form for 27 years. In 1995, Wang got the idea by chance when she cut a piece of red paper using a knife and it left a white line. Then she believed that she might have created something out of common things. After that, using knives and paper, she completed a painting of a pair of birds.
People usually “add” colors to create paintings, but knife painters use knives to “take away” colors on specially made coated paper. They use different pressure (压力) on the paper in different directions to create different colors. Once the marks are left on the paper, they cannot be covered, so it requires the painter to be completely lost in the work.
Few people knew the great art form just after Wang created it. Besides, Wang herself was not expecting to make it something big at the beginning. But thanks to her love for the art form, she has kept painting for the past 27 years. So far, she has completed hundreds of paintings, and her favorite is a 2.8-meter-long painting. Wang said she would continue working in the field and make it known across the world.
6. What first made Wang decide to try knife painting
A. Knives and paper. B. The white line. C. The painting of birds. D. The red paper.
7. How can knife painting be done
A. By drawing on paper with a pencil. B. By creating shapes with brushes.
C. By cutting the paper with a knife. D. By pressing on the coated paper.
8. What can be learned from paragraph 3
A. Wang hadn’t expected knife painting to be popular. B. Wang continued her work because of her family.
C. Wang’s favorite painting work is 28 meters long. D. Wang said she might stop her work in the near future.
9. Which of the following is NOT true
A. Wang Jing can draw with knives instead of pens and brushes.
B. Wang Jing got the idea by accident when she cut a piece of red paper.
C. When the marks are left on the paper, they can be covered easily.
D. Wang Jing has devoted her most time to this art form for 27 years.

What is your first impression of bamboo in China Is it only a kind of plant on the food list of pandas No! It also represents single bamboo drifting（独竹漂）, an intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产）passed from generation (代) to generation among the people in Guizhou Province.
Single bamboo drifting has been performed for more than 2,000 years. In the past, the ancestors who lived on the bank of the Chishui River used it as a method to go across the river. Now, with the development of modern transportation, this skill has been regarded as a sport or a unique way of performance by local people.
Middle school students of the province practice the sport and compete in the Chinese National Games. The requirements of the sport are simple, yet demanding! Athletes have to balance on a bamboo pole, barely as wide as one’s foot, and guide it down the river with a thin stick. But there’s more than just guiding. While keeping balance on the narrow bamboo pole with the thin stick, the athletes are performing skills and tricks. Jumping, push-ups, and splits（劈叉）are some of the most common ones, whereas those who are more experienced often use their imagination to try out more difficult moves.
Yang Liu, a 25-year-old “water fairy” from Zunyi, Guizhou, dancing on the river in traditional Chinese costume, is an inheritor（继承人）of single bamboo drifting. For over ten years, combining (结合) drifting with dancing, Yang has put fresh energy into this traditional art. It’s not easy to stand, let alone dance on a single bamboo. So not surprisingly, Yang has experienced countless falls and failures. Thanks to her efforts, though, single bamboo drifting has gotten great fame on the Internet and become well-known in the world.
11. What did we mainly use single bamboo drifting for in ancient times
A. A kind of sport. B. A way of dance. C. A form of traditional art. D. A type of transportation.
12. What does the underlined word “demanding” probably mean in Chinese
A. 严苛的 B. 繁琐的 C. 宽松的 D. 自在的
13. Why is a stick needed in single bamboo drifting
A. To try out difficult moves. B. To guide and balance.
C. To perform different tricks. D. To practice and compete.
14. What do we know about Yang Liu
A. She was a fairy with magical power. B. She kept practicing for over 10 years.
C. She was good at the skill from the start. D. She didn’t like the traditional art.
15. What mainly made single bamboo drifting famous around the world
A. The spread of sports spirits. B. The development of tourism.
C. The popularity of Chinese festivals. D. The continuous efforts of generations.

May19th has been celebrated as China’s National Tourism Day since 2011. It was the day when Xu Xiake, a great geographer and writer in the Ming Dynasty started recording what he saw in Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
With his mother’s encouragement, Xu began his journey at age 22. He travelled through China for more than 30 years, and several of his route (路线) are still used today. Now let’s follow his footprints (足迹) and visit some tourist attractions in China.
