Traditional Chinese clothes reflect traditional Chinese beauty, culture, and social values. Here are some of the
most famous types.
1. Hanfu
15 / 33
The Hanfu (Han clothing) dates back to over 4,000 years ago. It became the national clothing at the Han
Dynasty. It also had a far-reaching influence on neighboring Asian countries, such as Korea, Japan, and Vietnam.
Nowadays, people seldom wear Hanfu except on special situations, such as festivals and wedding ceremonies.
Hanfu clothing includes:
yi (an open cross-collar (领子) garment (服饰))；
pao (full-body garment worn by men);
ru (an open cross-collar shirt);
shan (an open cross-collar shirt or jacket worn over the yi);
qun or chang(a skirt worn by women or men);
ku (a type of trousers).
2. Qipao
Since the Qing Dynasty, Qipao has mainly developed into Beijing styles, Shanghai styles and Hong Kong
styles. Beijing’s Qipao style is more traditional than the other two and the colors are much brighter. Shanghai-style
Qipao is more business-like and forward-looking. It shows the latest fashion. More Western ideas are used in the
designs and colors. Hong-Kong-style Qipao is influenced greatly by European fashions.
3. Tang Suit
Tang suit actually only dates back to the Qing Dynasty (1644—1911). As the Tang Dynasty was famous for
being powerful, foreigners called the overseas Chinese people “the Tang people” and the clothes they wore were
called “Tang suits”. Traditional Tang suits usually have Chinese characters on them to express good luck or best
wishes. Nowadays, Tang suits have become a kind of formal dress worn on some special situations, such as
Chinese New Year or wedding ceremonies.
4. The Zhongshan Suit
The Zhongshan suit is a type of men’s jacket. Dr Sun Zhongshan made it more popular. The design of
Zhongshan suits mixes traditional Chinese and Western clothing styles. Zhongshan suits have four big pockets on
the front, two up and two down. There are five central buttons on the front and three smaller buttons on each sleeve.
Zhongshan suits can be worn on formal and daily situations.

The Chinese language differs from Western languages in that, instead of an alphabet (字 母 表 ), it uses
characters (文字) which stand for ideas, objects or deeds. Chinese words are formed by putting together different
characters. In many cases, a single character can also make up a word. As one kind of the most ancient characters,
Chinese characters have played an important role in the development of Chinese culture.
Chinese writing began thousands of years ago. According to an ancient story, a man named Cang Jie
invented Chinese writing. One winter day while he was hunting, he saw the footprints of animals in the snow and
noticed that the appearance of each one was different. Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes to
represent different objects. The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects. Some characters have
been simplified (简化) and others have been made more difficult over time (随着时间推移).
However, as a whole, the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms. The character for a
mountain was at first three mountaintops together. This became one mountaintop and three lines, and over time
turned into the character used nowadays.
Sometimes to express ideas, some characters were made by combining (使结合) two or more characters
together. For example, “休” was made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character “囚” was formed
with a “man” inside a square. Other characters were developed for directions and numbers. It is easy to distinguish
(区别) their meanings by looking at them, for example, the characters for “up” and “down”, which are opposites of
each other.
Though these kinds of characters indicate (表明) meanings, one of their shortcomings is that they do not
show how they should be pronounced. Therefore, a method was developed to have one part of a character represent
the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation. Many Chinese characters used today were made this way.
In the 1950s, the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters in the hope to make learning
to read and write more understandable to the general population, which would increase literacy (读写能力) across
the country. And now they have widespread use in China’s mainland.
1．The writer introduces the Chinese characters by ________.
A．giving examples B．providing causes C．expressing opinions D．comparing facts
18 / 33
2．The following sentence would best be placed at the beginning of ________.
Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects.

3．Which Chinese character used the underlined method
A． B． C． D．
4．What can we learn from the passage
A．Chinese characters have turned into standard forms, which are easier than before.
B．Chinese characters we use today have been accepted by large numbers of people.
C．Chinese characters existed at the very beginning and remain today like other ancient symbols.
D．Chinese words and English words are both formed by putting alphabets and characters together.

1．细节理解题。根据“The character for a mountain was at first three mountaintops together. This became one
mountaintop and three lines, and over time turned into the character used nowadays.”以及“For example, ‘休’ was
made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character ‘囚’ was formed with a ‘man’ inside a square.”可知，
作者在介绍汉字时，举例说明了“山”字的演变，说明了汉字“休”和“囚”是如何通过组合其他汉字来表意的，
所以作者是通过举例的方式来介绍汉字的。故选 A。
2．推理判断题。“Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects.”表示“并不是所有的汉字都是从物
体的图画发展而来的”，下文紧接着介绍有些字是由两个或更多字符组合而来，与第四段“Sometimes to
express ideas, some characters were made by combining…”相符。故选 B。
3．推理判断题。根据“Therefore, a method was developed to have one part of a character represent the meaning and
the other suggest the pronunciation.”可知，下划线部分提到的方法是形声造字法，即一部分表意，一部分表音。
选项 D 中的汉字“桐”是形声字，“木”字旁，表示桐树是树木，右侧的“同”代表“桐”的发音，符合这种造字方
法。故选 D。
4．细节理解题。根据“In the 1950s, the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters in the hope
to make learning to read and write more understandable to the general population, which would increase literacy
(读写能力) across the country. And now they have widespread use in China’s mainland.”可知，现在简化汉字在中
国大陆广泛使用，说明我们今天使用的汉字已经被大量的人所接受。故选 B。

Have you ever heard of the saying, “Don’t judge (判断) a book by its cover.” Well, in Chinese, we have an
expression called “yi mao qu ren”.
Imagine you meet someone new at school. They might look different from you in hair, clothes, or looks. It’s
important not to make any judgments about them just because of how they look.
Sometimes, people make a mistake by judging others by their looks. They might think someone is mean (刻
薄) or unfriendly just because they have a serious face or wear unusual clothes. But what meets the eye isn’t always
the truth!
In fact, people are like books with many, many pages. We need to read more and more pages to understand
them. That means getting to know them, talking to them, and learning about their interests and personalities (个性).
Think about your best friends. When you met them at early time, you might not have known they would
become your best friends. But as you spent time together and got to know each other, you realized how amazing
they are.
By not judging people by their looks, we open our hearts to new people in our lives. We start to understand
and treasure the distinctions between us, like different cultures, backgrounds, and ways of thinking.
So, let’s keep an open mind and be nice to everyone we meet. Let’s treat others with kindness and fairness,
no matter how they look. When we do that, we make a world where everyone feels important and accepted for who
they are. After all, the most amazing things are hidden-within every one of us!

A．By listing numbers. B．By showing a saying.
C．By giving an example. D．By making an expectation.

4．How should we treat others according to the writer
A．With a happy mind. B．With a serious face.
C．With kindness and fairness. D．With some doubts.
5．Which can be a proper title for the text
A．Try to Read More Books B．Try to Understand Others Better
20 / 33
C．Don't Be Unfriendly to Others D．Don't Judge People by Their Looks
【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．D

公平对待他人。

When 14-year-old Lin Xia from Shanghai first arrived in London for a student exchange program, she was
both excited and nervous. Her host family, the Thompsons,welcomed her warmly, but cultural misunderstandings
soon appeared.
On her first morning, Mrs. Thompson served baked beans and toast for breakfast. Xia politely ate a few bites,
though the salty beans couldn’t satisfy her taste buds. Later, she whispered to her roommate Emma, “Do British
people eat beans every morning ” Emma burst out laughing. “No! Mum thought you might miss Chinese breakfasts.
She read online that beans are popular in Shanghai!” Xia realized Mrs. Thompson had mixed up Shanghai’s sweet
red bean desserts with British baked beans.
Another challenge turned up during a school project. Xia’s team needed to design a poster about climate
solutions. While her British teammates freely debated (辩论) ideas, Xia hesitated (犹豫) to disagree with others,
remembering her teachers’ advice in China: “Group harmony matters most.” Noticing her silence, the teacher Ms.
Wilkins came up to her. “Your opinion is valuable, Xia. In Britain, respectful debates often lead to better solutions.”
Taking a deep breath, Xia shared her idea of using algae (藻类) to take in carbon dioxide — a concept she’d
learned from her scientist father. The team loved it and won the first prize.
21 / 33
By the trip’s end, Xia had grown bolder. She even taught the Thompsons to make dumplings, laughing as Mr.
Thompson accidentally dropped one on the cat. “Cultural exchange isn’t about being perfect,” she wrote in her
diary. “It’s about listening, adapting (适应), and finding joy in the messy middle.”
1．What was the main purpose of the Thompsons serving baked beans
A．To introduce traditional British food. B．To recreate a Shanghai-style breakfast.
C．To make fun of Chinese eating habits. D．To test Xia’s adaptability.
2．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “mixed up” in Paragraph 2
A．cooked carefully B．thought wrongly
C．purposely replaced D．turned up
3．Why did Xia avoid disagreeing with her teammates in the beginning
A．She lacked confidence in her English. B．She found their ideas perfect.
C．She valued team harmony over debate. D．She disliked the teacher’s intervention (干涉).
4．Which lesson did Xia learn from her experience
A．Cultural exchange requires avoiding mistakes.
B．Perfect understanding between cultures is impossible.
C．Adaptation and communication bridge cultural differences.
D．Western education systems are better than others.
5．How does the author organize the passage

听、调整和包容的重要性。
1．推理判断题。根据“‘No! Mum thought you might miss Chinese breakfasts. She read online that beans are
popular in Shanghai!’ Xia realized Mrs. Thompson had mixed up Shanghai’s sweet red bean desserts with British
baked beans.”可知，Mrs. Thompson 在网上读到“豆类在上海很受欢迎”，误以为上海的甜红豆甜品与英国的
咸烤豆是同类食物，因此特意准备烤豆子以贴近林夏的家乡口味，这一件事正好体现了文化误解的细节。
故选 B。
2．词句猜测题。根据“‘No! Mum thought you might miss Chinese breakfasts. She read online that beans are
popular in Shanghai!’ Xia realized Mrs. Thompson had mixed up Shanghai’s sweet red bean desserts with British
22 / 33

wrongly。故选 B。
3．细节理解题。根据“While her British teammates freely debated (辩论) ideas, Xia hesitated (犹豫) to disagree
with others, remembering her teachers’ advice in China: ‘Group harmony matters most.’”可知，林夏因受中国老师
“团队和谐最重要”的教导影响，不愿公开反驳他人观点，可见她在辩论中重视团队和谐。故选 C。
4．推理判断题。根据“‘Cultural exchange isn’t about being perfect,’ she wrote in her diary. ‘It’s about listening,
adapting (适应), and finding joy in the messy middle.’”可知，林夏在日记中总结道，文化交流的关键是“倾听、
适应并享受过程中的不完美”，即“适应和沟通是文化差异的桥梁。”。故选 C。
5．推理判断题。文章通过林夏的两次具体经历（早餐误解、课堂辩论）展现她的成长过程，属于“个人故事
结合实例”的结构。故选 C。

On Sept 7, famous Chinese archaeologist (考古学家) Fan Jinshi, 85, was awarded by UNESCO for her
contribution (贡献) to the protection of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang. Called the “daughter of Dunhuang”, her
story with the caves started 60 years ago. In 1963, Fan, then a 25-year-old Peking University graduate, had the
chance to work at the Mogao Caves, a place which she had wanted to explore for a long time.
“Seeing Dunhuang for the first time was breathtaking. But only when truly staying here did I realize that
inside the caves is a world of divine (神圣) beauty while outside is a land of blowing sand and yellow earth.” Fan
told Gansu Daily.
Back in those days, the Mogao Caves were almost completely cut off from the world. Fan and her
co-workers had to live in mud houses and drink salty water. They stayed inside the caves to do research, copy
murals (壁画), and do whatever they could to protect and restore them.
In 2011, after 40 years of hard work, a report on 10 Mogao Caves compiled (编写) by Fan’s team was finally
published. It was known as China’s first professional report on cave archaeology, reported Gansu Daily.
As time passed, Fan found a serious problem. The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might
harm the caves, causing the murals inside to fade. A solution needed to be found to preserve Dunhuang’s heritage
(遗产).
In the late 1980s, Fan came across computer technology by chance. She realized that this might preserve the
Mogao Caves forever. After over 30 years of exploration, the Dunhuang Academy built a digital database to protect
cultural relics (文物) there, allowing Dunhuang’s art to live forever and to step out of the caves to meet the world.
“In my whole life, I’ve only done one thing: protect and promote the world cultural heritage of the Mogao
Caves,” she told People’s Daily. “My heart belongs to Dunhuang.”
1．The underlined word “preserve” in paragraph 7 means ________.
A．increase B．protect C．improve D．change
2．What’s the genre (体裁) of this passage
A．A story which is made up by imagination. B．A mystery which waits to be uncovered.
25 / 33
C．A profile which gives facts about a person. D．A science report which focuses on the discovery of
Mogao Caves.
3．What can we learn about Fan from the article

D．She is a woman of great determination.
4．What pushed Fan to establish a digital database for the Mogao Caves
A．Her desire to promote Chinese culture. B．Her interest in computer technology.
C．The need to document the restoration work. D．The increasing threat to the physical caves.
5．What would be the best title for the passage
A．The Struggle of A Guard of Dunhuang B．Returning to Mogao Caves
C．The Success of An Archaeologist D．Deep Connection to Caves
【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．D 5．A
【解析】本文主要介绍了考古学家樊锦诗为保护敦煌莫高窟所做的贡献。
1．词句猜测题。根据“She realized that this might preserve the Mogao Caves forever.”可知，电脑科技可以永久
保护莫高窟，因此我们可以推断出“preserve”的意思是“保护”，故选 B。

The Forbidden City turned 600 years old in 2020. Over the last six centuries, there have been many cultural
exchanges inside the high walls of the world’s largest palace.
Ancient China had little contact with the outside world until Matteo Ricci made his way to the imperial court
(皇室) during the Ming Dynasty.
Ricci made contributions to the fields of science and astronomy(天文学) in China. He worked together with
Chinese scientist Xu Guangqi to translate the first six books of Euclid’s Elements into Chinese. He also brought
new knowledge about map making and taught people that the world was round with the first European-style world
map in Chinese.
Lots of foreigners followed in Ricci’s footsteps. Giuseppe Castiglione, also known as Lang Shining, was one
of them. The talented painter was sent to China to work for a church in 1715 and was later invited to the imperial
court to produce paintings for the Qing Dynasty’s Emperor Kangxi.
When serving in the imperial court, Castiglione designed many murals(壁画) in the Forbidden City using
techniques that were popular in Europe. From then on, a new style of painting appeared in China. It combined
Western realism with traditional Chinese ways of painting.
The first Westerners to the imperial court also provided firsthand reports to Europe through their letters,
notes and books about China. They made the West realize there was a country with great culture which was
30 / 33
different from theirs. Their stories are just a small piece of the cultural communication between China and the
outside world. But they show that the Forbidden City has provided a bridge for the communication.
1．Before Matteo Ricci made his way to the Chinese imperial court, ________.
A．he bad known a lot about China
B．the West knew little about China
C．China contacted the outside world often
2．Because of Matteo Ricci, China made progress in the fields of ________.

“We Love Strolling in the Park”, park lovers from both home and abroad share their park experiences, post photos
and videos, and give park suggestions and reviews.
A lady, Huang Bingbing from Shenzhen, began visiting a small park near her company after lunch over three
years ago. “On the grass, I could connect with living plants and animals. It allowed me to refresh my mind and get
away from the stress of work,” Huang explained. Huang believes that parks are private spaces. She considers
herself an introverted (内向) person, and parks serve as the perfect recharging spots for introverts. She often spends
time alone in parks, free from worrying about talking to people.
Parks can also be used as public places. Cheng Yuyan, who started the Douban group, found something
interesting during her visits to parks abroad. She noticed that a lot of park benches (长椅) were given by local
people with the names of donors (捐赠者) on them. Moreover, many parks offered guidebooks about the history,
geography, and the plants.
Inspired by these practices, Cheng believes people can further deepen their connection with parks by
developing a sense of ownership. She plans to encourage members of her Douban group to help take care of parks
and make them better places for everyone.

Traditional Chinese clothes reflect traditional Chinese beauty, culture, and social values. Here are some of the
most famous types.
1. Hanfu
15 / 28
The Hanfu (Han clothing) dates back to over 4,000 years ago. It became the national clothing at the Han
Dynasty. It also had a far-reaching influence on neighboring Asian countries, such as Korea, Japan, and Vietnam.
Nowadays, people seldom wear Hanfu except on special situations, such as festivals and wedding ceremonies.
Hanfu clothing includes:
yi (an open cross-collar (领子) garment (服饰))；
pao (full-body garment worn by men);
ru (an open cross-collar shirt);
shan (an open cross-collar shirt or jacket worn over the yi);
qun or chang(a skirt worn by women or men);
ku (a type of trousers).
2. Qipao
Since the Qing Dynasty, Qipao has mainly developed into Beijing styles, Shanghai styles and Hong Kong
styles. Beijing’s Qipao style is more traditional than the other two and the colors are much brighter. Shanghai-style
Qipao is more business-like and forward-looking. It shows the latest fashion. More Western ideas are used in the
designs and colors. Hong-Kong-style Qipao is influenced greatly by European fashions.
3. Tang Suit
Tang suit actually only dates back to the Qing Dynasty (1644—1911). As the Tang Dynasty was famous for
being powerful, foreigners called the overseas Chinese people “the Tang people” and the clothes they wore were
called “Tang suits”. Traditional Tang suits usually have Chinese characters on them to express good luck or best
wishes. Nowadays, Tang suits have become a kind of formal dress worn on some special situations, such as
Chinese New Year or wedding ceremonies.
4. The Zhongshan Suit
The Zhongshan suit is a type of men’s jacket. Dr Sun Zhongshan made it more popular. The design of
Zhongshan suits mixes traditional Chinese and Western clothing styles. Zhongshan suits have four big pockets on
the front, two up and two down. There are five central buttons on the front and three smaller buttons on each sleeve.
Zhongshan suits can be worn on formal and daily situations.

The Chinese language differs from Western languages in that, instead of an alphabet (字 母 表 ), it uses
characters (文字) which stand for ideas, objects or deeds. Chinese words are formed by putting together different
characters. In many cases, a single character can also make up a word. As one kind of the most ancient characters,
Chinese characters have played an important role in the development of Chinese culture.
Chinese writing began thousands of years ago. According to an ancient story, a man named Cang Jie
invented Chinese writing. One winter day while he was hunting, he saw the footprints of animals in the snow and
noticed that the appearance of each one was different. Then he had the idea that he could use different shapes to
represent different objects. The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects. Some characters have
been simplified (简化) and others have been made more difficult over time (随着时间推移).
However, as a whole, the characters have developed from drawings into standard forms. The character for a
mountain was at first three mountaintops together. This became one mountaintop and three lines, and over time
17 / 28
turned into the character used nowadays.
Sometimes to express ideas, some characters were made by combining (使结合) two or more characters
together. For example, “休” was made up of the characters for a man and a tree. The character “囚” was formed
with a “man” inside a square. Other characters were developed for directions and numbers. It is easy to distinguish
(区别) their meanings by looking at them, for example, the characters for “up” and “down”, which are opposites of
each other.
Though these kinds of characters indicate (表明) meanings, one of their shortcomings is that they do not
show how they should be pronounced. Therefore, a method was developed to have one part of a character represent
the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation. Many Chinese characters used today were made this way.
In the 1950s, the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters in the hope to make learning
to read and write more understandable to the general population, which would increase literacy (读写能力) across
the country. And now they have widespread use in China’s mainland.

Have you ever heard of the saying, “Don’t judge (判断) a book by its cover.” Well, in Chinese, we have an
18 / 28
expression called “yi mao qu ren”.
Imagine you meet someone new at school. They might look different from you in hair, clothes, or looks. It’s
important not to make any judgments about them just because of how they look.
Sometimes, people make a mistake by judging others by their looks. They might think someone is mean (刻
薄) or unfriendly just because they have a serious face or wear unusual clothes. But what meets the eye isn’t always
the truth!
In fact, people are like books with many, many pages. We need to read more and more pages to understand
them. That means getting to know them, talking to them, and learning about their interests and personalities (个性).
Think about your best friends. When you met them at early time, you might not have known they would
become your best friends. But as you spent time together and got to know each other, you realized how amazing
they are.
By not judging people by their looks, we open our hearts to new people in our lives. We start to understand
and treasure the distinctions between us, like different cultures, backgrounds, and ways of thinking.
So, let’s keep an open mind and be nice to everyone we meet. Let’s treat others with kindness and fairness,
no matter how they look. When we do that, we make a world where everyone feels important and accepted for who
they are. After all, the most amazing things are hidden-within every one of us!

When 14-year-old Lin Xia from Shanghai first arrived in London for a student exchange program, she was
both excited and nervous. Her host family, the Thompsons,welcomed her warmly, but cultural misunderstandings
soon appeared.
On her first morning, Mrs. Thompson served baked beans and toast for breakfast. Xia politely ate a few bites,
though the salty beans couldn’t satisfy her taste buds. Later, she whispered to her roommate Emma, “Do British
people eat beans every morning ” Emma burst out laughing. “No! Mum thought you might miss Chinese breakfasts.
She read online that beans are popular in Shanghai!” Xia realized Mrs. Thompson had mixed up Shanghai’s sweet
red bean desserts with British baked beans.
Another challenge turned up during a school project. Xia’s team needed to design a poster about climate
solutions. While her British teammates freely debated (辩论) ideas, Xia hesitated (犹豫) to disagree with others,
remembering her teachers’ advice in China: “Group harmony matters most.” Noticing her silence, the teacher Ms.
Wilkins came up to her. “Your opinion is valuable, Xia. In Britain, respectful debates often lead to better solutions.”
Taking a deep breath, Xia shared her idea of using algae (藻类) to take in carbon dioxide — a concept she’d
learned from her scientist father. The team loved it and won the first prize.
By the trip’s end, Xia had grown bolder. She even taught the Thompsons to make dumplings, laughing as Mr.

On Sept 7, famous Chinese archaeologist (考古学家) Fan Jinshi, 85, was awarded by UNESCO for her
contribution (贡献) to the protection of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang. Called the “daughter of Dunhuang”, her
story with the caves started 60 years ago. In 1963, Fan, then a 25-year-old Peking University graduate, had the
chance to work at the Mogao Caves, a place which she had wanted to explore for a long time.
“Seeing Dunhuang for the first time was breathtaking. But only when truly staying here did I realize that
inside the caves is a world of divine (神圣) beauty while outside is a land of blowing sand and yellow earth.” Fan
told Gansu Daily.
Back in those days, the Mogao Caves were almost completely cut off from the world. Fan and her
co-workers had to live in mud houses and drink salty water. They stayed inside the caves to do research, copy
murals (壁画), and do whatever they could to protect and restore them.
In 2011, after 40 years of hard work, a report on 10 Mogao Caves compiled (编写) by Fan’s team was finally
published. It was known as China’s first professional report on cave archaeology, reported Gansu Daily.
As time passed, Fan found a serious problem. The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might
harm the caves, causing the murals inside to fade. A solution needed to be found to preserve Dunhuang’s heritage
(遗产).
22 / 28
In the late 1980s, Fan came across computer technology by chance. She realized that this might preserve the
Mogao Caves forever. After over 30 years of exploration, the Dunhuang Academy built a digital database to protect
cultural relics (文物) there, allowing Dunhuang’s art to live forever and to step out of the caves to meet the world.
“In my whole life, I’ve only done one thing: protect and promote the world cultural heritage of the Mogao
Caves,” she told People’s Daily. “My heart belongs to Dunhuang.”

in the same way that it’s traditionally made in Shandong. “Such activities make us know more about the Chinese
culture and love the Chinese language more,” the Egyptian student said.
Jiao Xinyue, a Chinese teacher at Cairo University who also teaches at the Confucius Institute of Cairo
University, said that the increasing Chinese economic power and the growing cooperation between China and
Egypt provide more chances for students to learn Chinese. “The number of students in learning the Chinese
language at Cairo University is on the ▲ every year,” she added.
ECU vice-president Rasha El-Kholy said that, “the event aims at connecting the Egyptian and the Chinese
culture through learning about some traditional Chinese ways of printing and handicrafts. Connecting ancient
civilizations(文明) can push us forward towards a future of innovation(创新), research and development,” he said.
Gianna Xu, the head of the Chinese Bridge Club in Cairo, said “the cultural exchange between the youths of

The Forbidden City turned 600 years old in 2020. Over the last six centuries, there have been many cultural
exchanges inside the high walls of the world’s largest palace.
Ancient China had little contact with the outside world until Matteo Ricci made his way to the imperial court
(皇室) during the Ming Dynasty.
Ricci made contributions to the fields of science and astronomy(天文学) in China. He worked together with
Chinese scientist Xu Guangqi to translate the first six books of Euclid’s Elements into Chinese. He also brought
new knowledge about map making and taught people that the world was round with the first European-style world
map in Chinese.
Lots of foreigners followed in Ricci’s footsteps. Giuseppe Castiglione, also known as Lang Shining, was one
of them. The talented painter was sent to China to work for a church in 1715 and was later invited to the imperial
court to produce paintings for the Qing Dynasty’s Emperor Kangxi.
When serving in the imperial court, Castiglione designed many murals(壁画) in the Forbidden City using
techniques that were popular in Europe. From then on, a new style of painting appeared in China. It combined
Western realism with traditional Chinese ways of painting.
The first Westerners to the imperial court also provided firsthand reports to Europe through their letters,
notes and books about China. They made the West realize there was a country with great culture which was
different from theirs. Their stories are just a small piece of the cultural communication between China and the
outside world. But they show that the Forbidden City has provided a bridge for the communication.

Do you like visiting parks Have you heard of “20-minute for parks” It says that just staying in a park for
20 minutes can make you feel better, no matter how you choose to spend the time. In the Douban interest group
“We Love Strolling in the Park”, park lovers from both home and abroad share their park experiences, post photos
and videos, and give park suggestions and reviews.
A lady, Huang Bingbing from Shenzhen, began visiting a small park near her company after lunch over three
years ago. “On the grass, I could connect with living plants and animals. It allowed me to refresh my mind and get
away from the stress of work,” Huang explained. Huang believes that parks are private spaces. She considers
herself an introverted (内向) person, and parks serve as the perfect recharging spots for introverts. She often spends
time alone in parks, free from worrying about talking to people.
Parks can also be used as public places. Cheng Yuyan, who started the Douban group, found something
interesting during her visits to parks abroad. She noticed that a lot of park benches (长椅) were given by local
people with the names of donors (捐赠者) on them. Moreover, many parks offered guidebooks about the history,
geography, and the plants.
Inspired by these practices, Cheng believes people can further deepen their connection with parks by
developing a sense of ownership. She plans to encourage members of her Douban group to help take care of parks
and make them better places for everyone.
