Choose one thing for life
Why the Palace Museum has one of the most significant collections of timepieces in the world?
Because Qing emperors were very fond of clocks. Therefore , in order to please them, foreign envoys presented these emperors with the most intricate and splendid timepieces. Today, the Palace Museum has one of the most significant collections of timepieces in the world, mainly originating from Europe and China. With objects ranging from small pocket watches to clocks over one metre in height, each of these requires its own unique method of restoration.
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.
To Wang Jin the chiming melody of the repaired and polished clock is the most beautiful music in the world.
What is the most beautiful music in the world to Wang Jin?
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.
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.
Mr Wang has now passed on his skills to the new members, who will take on many of the future repairs. What`s more, inspired to follow in his father`s footsteps, Mr Wang`s son now has also taken up repairing antique clocks.
What qualities do Wang Jin and his colleagues display in their work?
They display qualities of skill, patience, modesty and devotion in their work.
Time waits for no man !
Inside the hidden courtyards of Xi San Suo, there is something timeless about the way Mr Wang and his colleagues sedately piece together the past with skillful hands and modest hearts.
It is as if they have become one with their craft and with the history of the country.
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.

参考范文:
The vividly coloured, finely shaped figurines of “Clay Figure Zhang” have been seeing a surge in popularity as an authentic and valuable traditional craft.
The nearly 200-year history of “Clay Figure Zhang” began with Zhang Mingshan, who became known for his ability to breathe life and beauty into these painted clay figurines. Born into a poor family, Zhang Mingshan made them as a means of earning a living. He often visited markets where he observed people of all walks of life, and went to theatres to observe those performing on stage. Day in, day out, he used tonnes of clay to mould what he saw, and sometimes added decorative items or new features to the figurines. So vivid and lifelike were they that they attracted crowds of spectators to the stand from which he sold them.
Fortunately, Zhang Mingshan’s craftsmanship has been passed down through his descendents, with these distinctive clay figurines now being crafted by the sixth generation of “Clay Figure Zhang”.
