Activity 4: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions.
1 Who is Wang Jin and where does he work
He is a clock restoration master, working in Xi San Suo in the Forbidden City.
2 What was special about Wang Jin and his student Qi Haonan
They used to be the only two timepiece restorers in the Palace Museum.
3 Why is it painstaking for Wang Jin and his students to repair the collection of timepieces in the Palace Museum
Because repairing such a large and important collection of timepieces involves complex work, unique methods of restoration and sourcing difficult-to-find materials, which take a lot of time, care and attention to detail.
4 What has been done to the clocks that date back to the time of Emperor Qianlong
Wang Jin has spent eight months adjusting the gigantic clock, which is about to be wound up and brought back to life.
5 Why is Wang Jin optimistic about the future of the timepieces in the Palace Museum
Because he has passed on his skills to a new generation of artisans, who will not only help preserve traditional skills but also bring innovation to the art of clock repairing so that it stands the test of time.
6 What qualities do Wang Jin and his colleagues display in their work
They display qualities of skill, patience, modesty and devotion in their work.
Activity 5: Think & Share
1 What is your understanding of the title, “Masters of Time” What figure of speech does the author use
What the masters restore is to record time. Metaphor.
2 What is your understanding of the sentence, “This is a race against time that can never be won” Do you agree with this Give your reasons.
I agree with that. The ancient clocks recorded the time passed away, which can not be back. Even the clocks can be repaired, there would still be work to do, because restoration would probably need to begin again on the clocks that were repaired long ago.
3 What do Bill Cunningham and Wang Jin in the two reading passages in this unit have in common
They are both devoted, motivated, passionate and skilled masters in their fields of work.
4 What can you do to help to pass on traditional skills and the spirit of craftsmanship
a Buy more hand-made crafts.b Make some posters to make people aware of the importance of traditional skills and the spirit of craftsmanship.
Activity 6: Work in groups. Give a speech about the spirit of craftsmanship in the Palace Museum.

Who are the masters What fields do they work in What specific examples can you give of their work What aspects of the spirit of craftsmanship are demonstrated through their work How can you develop and display such spirit in daily life
