2b,P38】Beauty

in

Common

Things

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.

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.

Paper

cutting

has

been

around

for

over

1,500

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.

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.【I

【外研九年級（下）

Revision

module

B,P77】

People

in

the

UK

are

always

talking

about

the

weather.

In

the

UK,

instead

of

saying

“Hello”,

people

sometimes

say

“It’s

a

lovely

day”

when

the

weather

is

sunny,

or

“Terrible

weather,

isn’t

it?”

when

it

is

bad.

There

are

many

words

to

describe

the

weather

too.

Why

is

this?

Perhaps

one

of

the

reasons

is

that

the

weather

in

the

UK

is

always

changing.

The

UK

is

made

up

of

a

group

of

islands.

The

sea

separates

it

from

the

rest

of

Europe.

The

winds

coming

from

the

sea

make

the

weather

change

all

the

time.

On

the

same

day,

it

can

be

hot

and

cold,

dry

and

wet,

windy

and

still.

So

people

have

to

think

about

the

weather

all

the

time.

The

changing

weather

is

important

for

farmers.

It

is

sometimes

difficult

to

plan

when

to

plant

and

when

to

pick

fruit

and

vegetables.

Too

much

rain

in

July

and

August

is

harmful

and

costs

farmers

in

the

UK

a

lot

of

money.

But

it

is

not

only

farmers

who

pay

attention

to

the

weather.

Most

British

people

have

gardens,

and

they

need

to

watch

the

weather

carefully

to

decide

what

work

to

do

in

them.

So,

there

is

a

good

reason

for

British

people

to

talk

about

the

weather.

It

is

a

very

important

part

of

their

lives.【I

Cowboys

have

lived

and

worked

in

the

west

and

southwest

of

the

United

States

for

over

three

centuries

and

they

are

a

famous

symbol

of

the

USA.

When

you

watch

those

old

Hollywood

cowboy

films

from

the

fifties

and

sixties,

you

don’t

see

a

job.

You

see

a

.

.1.

.

of

freedom

and

adventure（冒險(xiǎn)）.

However,

the

real

job

of

an

American

cowboy

has

always

been

.

.2.

.

and

sometimes

dangerous.

It

is

physical

with

long

hours

and

low

pay.

Life

hasn’t

.

.3.

.

much

for

cowboys

since

the

early

days.

Cows

walk

across

huge

plains（草原）to

.

.4.

.

the

grass

and

the

cowboy

rides

on

his

horse

to

bring

.

.5.

.

home.

Like

the

cowboys

of

the

past,

a

21st

century

cowboy

.

.6.

.

gets

up

early

on

freezing

cold

mornings

and

makes

breakfast

over

a

fire.

So

why

does

a

man—because

it

is

usually

a

man—become

a

cowboy?

For

some,

it

isn’t

a

.

.7.

.

they

are

life.

They

have

They

culture.

“It’s

you,

your

horse

and

the

Some

people

choose

the

in

Pat

had

US

with

high

pay,

He

wanted

satisfaction.

And

for

a

cowboy,

job

satisfaction

doesn’t

come

There

are

millions

of

recipes（菜譜）

hidden

in

the

boxes

and

hearts

of

grandmothers

and

parents.

These

family

recipes

are

a

special

part

of

our

family

history.

Some

of

them

have

been

passed

down

from

generation（一代人）

togeneration.

“I

realized

I

couldn’t

go

home

every

weekend

for

my

mom’sdelicious

dishes,”

says

Shreya,

who

is

about

to

enter

university.

Shreya

has

recently

started

following

her

mother

around

the

kitchen,

taking

notes

on

how

to

make

her

“masalachai”

and

tasty

kachoris.

“Those

special

tastes

can

immediately

unlock

a

whole

flood

of

emotions,

memories

and

feelings

of

family,

love,

and

comfort,”

said

she.

She

added,

“I

am

looking

forward

to

the

day

when

my

kids

will

come

to

know

of

their

grandmothers

through

the

dishes

they

cooked.”

But

many

of

us

find

it

difficult

to

keep

the

food

connection

with

our

busy

life.

Even

if

we

have

time,

not

many

of

us

take

the

effort

to

collect

and

record

the

recipes

from

our

grandmothers

and

parents.

We

often

get

a

recipe

on

the

phone

and

take

it

down

quickly

on

a

piece

of

paper.

We

just

stick

it

onto

the

fridge

for

a

week

or

two

and

forget

about

it

as

soon

as

the

paper

disappears

from

there.

Actually,

there

are

simple

ways

to

keep

family

recipes.

Scrapbooks（剪貼簿）

are

easily

found

in

the

market.

You

caneven

add

photos

to

record

everydetail

of

your

memories

about

the

recipe.

With

the

help

of

some

popular

apps

like

Story

Scans,

recording

family

recipes

has

been

easier.

What

is

needed

is

to

scan（掃描）

the

recipes

and

record

the

story

behind

each

of

them.

It

can

become

the

most

meaningful

work

you

have

ever

done

with

and

for

your

family.

Keeping

family

recipes

is

saving

and

honoring

our

tradition

so

that

future

generations

can

continue

to

make

family

ties

stronger.

Every

time

you

remember

your

loved

ones,

recreate

one

of

the

dishes

from

your

collection

and

let

the

memories

from

the

good

old

days

comfort

you.

So

why

not

gift

your

kids

a

family

recipe

book

when

they

are

starting

a

new

life?(
