Beauty in Common Things
1 Each different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to show the things that are important in life, such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.
Q1: What do traditional Chinese
art forms try to show
Read para. 2 carefully and answer the question.
2 According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.
Q2: What were sky lanterns used for before
and what are they used for now
Read para. 3 carefully and answer the questions.
3 Paper cutting has been around for over 1500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.
Q3: What kinds of pictures are usually
found on paper cuttings
Q4: How do people use paper cuttings
during the Spring Festival
Read para. 4 carefully and answer the questions.
4 Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are usually cute children or lively characters from a Chinese fairy tale or historical story. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.
Q5: What are the steps for making clay art pieces
Q6: Which art form do you think is the most
interesting Why

Language points
1. These usually try to show the things that are important in life, such as love, beauty and family.这些艺术形式通常是尝试展现生活中像爱、美、家庭等重要的东西。
for example(instance)和 such as都可用来举例, 但用法有所不同。
such as也作为“例如”讲,用来列举同类人或事物中的几个例子。
for example作“例如”讲时,一般只以同类事物或人中的“一个”
为例,作插入语,用逗号隔开,可置于句首、句中或句末。
2. The pieces are usually cute children or lively characters from a Chinese fairy tale or historical story. 这些作品通常是可爱的孩子或出自中国童话或历史故事的活泼人物。
(1) lively有“活泼的、快活的、生动的”等意思, 可以指人或物, 可作定语或表语; 但它不可译为“活着的”, 而其他三个可以。
(2) alive, live, living都可意为“活的、有生命的”, 与dead意义相反。但live通常只作前置定语, 且一般用于动物,另有直播的含义; alive、living不仅可作定语(alive只能置于名词后; living一般置于名词前, 也可置于名词后), 也可以作表语。
(3) 只有living前加the方可表示“活着的人”, 作主语时, 视作复数。
【辨析】
alive/live/living和lively的异同
3. It takes several weeks to complete everything.
完成这一切要花好几周的时间。
1) It takes (sb.) some time to do sth. 是英语中的常用句型,意为“花费(某人)多长时间做某事”。其中it是形式主语,动词不定式(短语)是真正的主语。
2) complete作为动词, 意为“完成”; 作为形容词, 意为“完整的; 完全的; 完成的; 结束的”。其副词形式为completely, 意为“完全地; 彻底地”
