3 What is the difference between the two groups of sentences
c. And just look at how the wind is folding her dress!
d. People are pushing me around quite a bit, in fact.
Group 1
passive form
Group 2
active form
4 Why does the author choose to use the passive form instead of the active form in the reading passage
In the first sentence of the first group, the author is describing the sculpture, so the dress instead of the wind should be the author’s focus and it serves as the subject. In the second sentence of the first group, “I” don’t know the people around “me”, so there is no need to mention who are pushing “me”. As a result, the passive form is used here.
Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.

Do you think going to a museum is the only way to see art Actually, art is everywhere around us! For example, on some buildings in my city,young people are painting beautiful pictures.Some people don't like graffiti, but I think it's really colourful. Even trees can be art -- some people are trimming trees into interesting shapes,like animals or clouds. And look up - construction workers are building impressive,original buildings in every neighbourhood. It's easy to see great art nowadays, because people are creating it everywhere you look.
你认为去博物馆是看艺术的唯一途径吗？其实，艺术就在我们身边！例如，在我的城市的一些建筑物上，年轻人正在画漂亮的画。有些人不喜欢涂鸦，但我认为它非常丰富多彩。甚至树木也可以是艺术——有些人把树修剪成有趣的形状，像动物或云。再往上看，建筑工人正在每个街区建造令人印象深刻的原创建筑。现在很容易看到伟大的艺术作品，因为到处都有人在创作。

We know most of these art forms. These people are cutting paper/embroidering/seal cutting/writing calligraphy/enjoying Chinese painting/making porcelain.
Yes. For example, most of us have tried the paper cutting, under the guidance of the old artists, many of us will cut out paper-cut art works like double happiness characters, five-pointed stars, window cuts and so on. Once, under the guidance of my teacher, I cut out a very complex pattern of the tiger in the zodiac, and I felt the magic of paper-cut art at that time.
Yesterday, I went to an amazing Chinese art festival. There were different stands where artists could demonstrate their skills and teach the visitors! It was definitely an exciting experience for a foreign student like me.
What caught my attention first was a 15th-century qinghua bowl in a breathtaking exhibition of Chinese 1__________. It vividly illustrated a dragon playing with a ball.

Work in pairs. Talk about a Chinese art form that your home town is famous for.

My home town is famous for the traditional art of Chinese ink painting. People use brushes dipped in black ink and colored dyes to create beautiful masterpieces on rice paper.
Li Kuchan (1899-1983), a renowned Chinese artist from Gaotang County, was a master of ink and wash painting. Born into a farmer's family, he received training from renowned masters like Xu Beihong and Qi Baishi. Known for his large-scale flower-and-bird paintings, Li blended traditional Chinese techniques with Western influences. His brushwork was bold, capturing nature's essence with simplicity. He often depicted pine trees, bamboo, plum blossoms, and birds, reflecting his deep love for nature. Besides being an artist, Li was also a dedicated educator, teaching at prestigious art schools and nurturing talented students. Despite facing challenges, including wartime imprisonment, he remained steadfast in his artistic pursuit. Li Kuchan's works continue to inspire artists worldwide, making a lasting contribution to Chinese art.
我的家乡以中国传统艺术水墨画而闻名。人们用毛笔蘸上黑色墨水和彩色染料，在宣纸上创作出美丽的杰作。
李苦禅（1899-1983），中国高唐县著名画家，水墨画大师。他出生在一个农民家庭，师从徐悲鸿、齐白石等著名大师。李以其大型花鸟画而闻名，他将中国传统技法与西方影响融为一体。他的笔法大胆，以简洁捕捉自然的精髓。他经常画松树、竹子、梅花和鸟儿，反映了他对自然的热爱。除了是一名艺术家，李还是一名专注的教育家，在著名的艺术学校教书，培养有才华的学生。尽管面临包括战时监禁在内的各种挑战，他仍然坚定不移地追求自己的艺术。李苦禅的作品继续激励着世界各地的艺术家，为中国艺术做出了持久的贡献。

Contemporary art
当代（现代）艺术
Since it began in the late 20th century, the Contemporary Art Movement has raised questions and doubts, with people asking, “Is it really art ” This was the case in 1999 with British artist Tracey Emin’s work, My bed — which was, quite literally, her unmade bed. Then, in 2015, cleaners in an Italian gallery threw away an art piece after mistaking the pile of empty bottles, cigarette ends and pieces of coloured paper for rubbish! While some say contemporary art lacks skill, meaning and artistic value, others argue that its worth lies in its ability to stimulate new discussions and understanding of everyday objects.

当代（现代）艺术
自20世纪末开始，当代艺术运动引发了许多质疑和质疑，人们问:“这真的是艺术吗 ”1999年，英国艺术家特蕾西·艾敏的作品《我的床》就是这样的情况——毫不夸张地说，这是她没叠过的床。然后，在2015年，意大利一家画廊的清洁工把一堆空瓶子、烟头和彩纸误认为是垃圾，扔掉了一件艺术品!一些人认为当代艺术缺乏技巧、意义和艺术价值，而另一些人则认为，当代艺术的价值在于它能够激发人们对日常物品进行新的讨论和理解。

Homework
Sample
"The 'Qingming Shanghe Tu' (Along the River During the Qingming Festival) is a masterpiece of Chinese traditional art. Painted in the Northern Song Dynasty, it offers a vivid snapshot of daily life in ancient China. The scroll depicts a bustling river scene with boats, bridges, shops, and people going about their business. What amazes me is its meticulous detail and the sheer scale of life captured. It's not just a painting; it's a window into China's rich history and culture. Foreign friends, through this masterpiece, you can glimpse the profound charm of traditional Chinese society."

4 Why does the author choose to use the passive form instead of the active form in the reading passage
In the first sentence of the first group, the author is describing the sculpture, so the dress instead of the wind should be the author’s focus and it serves as the subject. In the second sentence of the first group, “I” don’t know the people around “me”, so there is no need to mention who are pushing “me”. As a result, the passive form is used here.

We know most of these art forms. These people are cutting paper/embroidering/seal cutting/writing calligraphy/enjoying Chinese painting/making porcelain.
Yes. For example, most of us have tried the paper cutting, under the guidance of the old artists, many of us will cut out paper-cut art works like double happiness characters, five-pointed stars, window cuts and so on. Once, under the guidance of my teacher, I cut out a very complex pattern of the tiger in the zodiac, and I felt the magic of paper-cut art at that time.
Yesterday, I went to an amazing Chinese art festival. There were different stands where artists could demonstrate their skills and teach the visitors! It was definitely an exciting experience for a foreign student like me.
What caught my attention first was a 15th-century qinghua bowl in a breathtaking exhibition of Chinese 1__________. It vividly illustrated a dragon playing with a ball.

昨天，我参加了一个很棒的中国艺术节。有不同的展台，艺术家可以展示他们的技能，并教游客!对于像我这样的外国学生来说，这绝对是一次令人兴奋的经历。
首先引起我注意的是一件15世纪的清花碗，这是一场令人惊叹的中国瓷器展览。它生动地描绘了一条龙在玩球。

Then I tried some 2____________, that is, making images out of paper. It was difficult, but a lot of fun! With help from the artist, I managed to make one in the shape of a fish. Meanwhile, a woman at the next stand was using a needle and some thread to do some 3___________. It looked so pretty! Then I went into a section decorated like a traditional Chinese study, with two beautiful 4________________ of a pine tree and some bamboo hung on
the walls.

然后我尝试了一些剪纸，也就是用纸制作图像。这很难，但是很有趣!在艺术家的帮助下，我成功地做了一个鱼的形状。与此同时，另一个摊位上的一位妇女正在用针和线刺绣。它看起来很漂亮!然后我走进一个装饰得像中国传统书房的区域，墙上挂着两幅美丽的中国画，画的是一棵松树和一些竹子。

There was also an old man writing Chinese 5__________:his writing was so free and elegant! Another man sitting next to him showed me how 6___________ works. Chinese characters are carved into small squares of stone and stamped onto paper with ink. He made one for me with my name in Chinese – pretty awesome!
I also came away with a beautifully embroidered handkerchief made of soft cotton fabric, and a porcelain cup and saucer painted in wonderful shade of blue.

还有一位老人在写中国书法，他的书法是如此的自由和优雅!坐在他旁边的另一个人向我展示了篆刻的工作原理。汉字被刻在石头上的小方块上，然后用墨水印在纸上。他给我做了一个中文名字——非常棒!
我还带走了一块用柔软的棉布做的漂亮的绣花手帕，还有一个涂着奇妙蓝色的瓷杯和瓷碟。

My home town is famous for the traditional art of Chinese ink painting. People use brushes dipped in black ink and colored dyes to create beautiful masterpieces on rice paper.
Li Kuchan (1899-1983), a renowned Chinese artist from Gaotang County, was a master of ink and wash painting. Born into a farmer's family, he received training from renowned masters like Xu Beihong and Qi Baishi. Known for his large-scale flower-and-bird paintings, Li blended traditional Chinese techniques with Western influences. His brushwork was bold, capturing nature's essence with simplicity. He often depicted pine trees, bamboo, plum blossoms, and birds, reflecting his deep love for nature. Besides being an artist, Li was also a dedicated educator, teaching at prestigious art schools and nurturing talented students. Despite facing challenges, including wartime imprisonment, he remained steadfast in his artistic pursuit. Li Kuchan's works continue to inspire artists worldwide, making a lasting contribution to Chinese art.
我的家乡以中国传统艺术水墨画而闻名。人们用毛笔蘸上黑色墨水和彩色染料，在宣纸上创作出美丽的杰作。
李苦禅（1899-1983），中国高唐县著名画家，水墨画大师。他出生在一个农民家庭，师从徐悲鸿、齐白石等著名大师。李以其大型花鸟画而闻名，他将中国传统技法与西方影响融为一体。他的笔法大胆，以简洁捕捉自然的精髓。他经常画松树、竹子、梅花和鸟儿，反映了他对自然的热爱。除了是一名艺术家，李还是一名专注的教育家，在著名的艺术学校教书，培养有才华的学生。尽管面临包括战时监禁在内的各种挑战，他仍然坚定不移地追求自己的艺术。李苦禅的作品继续激励着世界各地的艺术家，为中国艺术做出了持久的贡献。

Contemporary art
当代（现代）艺术
Since it began in the late 20th century, the Contemporary Art Movement has raised questions and doubts, with people asking, “Is it really art ” This was the case in 1999 with British artist Tracey Emin’s work, My bed — which was, quite literally, her unmade bed. Then, in 2015, cleaners in an Italian gallery threw away an art piece after mistaking the pile of empty bottles, cigarette ends and pieces of coloured paper for rubbish! While some say contemporary art lacks skill, meaning and artistic value, others argue that its worth lies in its ability to stimulate new discussions and understanding of everyday objects.

自20世纪末开始，当代艺术运动引发了许多质疑和质疑，人们问:“这真的是艺术吗 ”1999年，英国艺术家特蕾西·艾敏的作品《我的床》就是这样的情况——毫不夸张地说，这是她没叠过的床。然后，在2015年，意大利一家画廊的清洁工把一堆空瓶子、烟头和彩纸误认为是垃圾，扔掉了一件艺术品!一些人认为当代艺术缺乏技巧、意义和艺术价值，而另一些人则认为，当代艺术的价值在于它能够激发人们对日常物品进行新的讨论和理解。

"The 'Qingming Shanghe Tu' (Along the River During the Qingming Festival) is a masterpiece of Chinese traditional art. Painted in the Northern Song Dynasty, it offers a vivid snapshot of daily life in ancient China. The scroll depicts a bustling river scene with boats, bridges, shops, and people going about their business. What amazes me is its meticulous detail and the sheer scale of life captured. It's not just a painting; it's a window into China's rich history and culture. Foreign friends, through this masterpiece, you can glimpse the profound charm of traditional Chinese society."
