Ⅱ.阅读表达【主题:人与社会 中国传统文化】
Traditional Chinese culture is now becoming more and more popular all over the world.
As a foreigner from Canada,I’m a lover of Chinese culture.Several years ago,during a visit to a small village near Suzhou,I found some teenage girls were learning the traditional art of embroidery(刺绣).For centuries,Suzhou has been famous for its wonderful embroidery.Young girls there start to learn the art from an early age.I watched these“modern”girls working for a while.After one of the girls just finished a piece of work,I bought it as a gift for my brother.He felt quite happy and hung it in the living room in Canada.
What makes both Chinese and foreigners love embroidery so much The work shows us the great skills of craftsmen(工匠).It may look simple,but in fact it is the result of years of hard work.As one Chinese artist said,“One minute on stage takes ten years of hard work off stage.”
Many colleges in China are offering courses on traditional Chinese culture these years.The students who study traditional Chinese culture in colleges may not become true masters in the future.However, with lots of people’s hard work,thousands of years later,lots of traditional Chinese culture is coming back to life.
1.Which country is the writer from
2.When do young girls in Suzhou start to learn embroidery
3.According to Paragraph 3,what does the work of embroidery show us

5.Do you think it’s important to learn more traditional Chinese culture Why or why not
