“I liked pop songs better before I actually got a chance to sing hua'er at the age of19，” said Sa Lina， 36， who has since become a famous singer， devoting herself to this tradi?tional art form for almost two decades.

Hua'er， which means flower in Chinese， is a Chinese folk song style. It is popular andshared by people of nine ethnic groups in Qinghai， Gansu， Ningxia and Xinjiang for hun?dreds of years. Also known as a type of“ mountain song”， it was inscribed by UNESCO onthe Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity （人类非物质文化遗产） in 2009.

After graduating in 2005， Sa returned to her hometown in Ningxia， and soon got achance to sing with Ma Handong， a famous singer of hua'er.“ I had never sung hua'erbefore， so I practiced a lot. To my surprise， I soon fell in love with its beautiful melodies，”said Sa.

What's the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of wheat straw？ Mostpeople would probably just see it as a pile of waste in a farmer's field. However， Wu Cui，an intangible cultural inheritor， can turn the straw leftover from harvested wheat into beau?tiful and eye?catching functional artworks.

The earliest straw?weaving （草编的） products were discovered at Hemudu CulturalRuins， a Neolithic cultural site located in eastern China's Zhejiang Province. The Book ofRites， one of the classical works of Confucianism， also records that there were already matsmade of cattail grass and made by professional straw?weaving craftsmen during theZhou Dynasty.

Straw weaving is a method of making daily items or artworks. It was listed as anational intangible cultural heritage in 2008.

Wu explains the process of straw weaving，“ Selection of materials is the first step of acomplicated， time?consuming and labor?intensive process that can take weeks， or evenmonths， to complete. You need to sketch （画素描） the piece on paper， which requiresdrawing skills. Next comes the weaving， shaping and preserving of the work. Even byfinishing that process， it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work，and the hardest part is to make it lifelike.”

In the past， woven straw items could be found almost in every household in thecountryside， such as straw hats and straw shoes， because they were practical in everydaylife. But due to the impact of industrialization， manufactured goods have replaced suchproducts， which cause low profits， and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in thework across the country.“ The world has changed， and craftsmen need to transcend （超越）practicality and pursue the beauty and artistry of straw culture to help the craft survive anddevelop，” Wu says.

From her perspective， straw weaving should respond to peoples needs and prefe?rences， while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture.“ Craftspeople should makea great effort to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevantproducts，” she says. When asked about her plans， Wu says she wants to dig deeper intolocal traditional culture and create cultural creative products by developing the straw?weaving techniques.

8. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about straw?weaving products？

A. Their historic origins.

B. Their cultural value.

C. Their major uses.

D. Their production process.

9. Which is the most difficult part for straw?weaving craftsmen according to Wu？

A. Selecting suitable materials.

B. Drawing sketches on paper.

C. Making the artworks vivid.

D. Preserving finished products.

10. What can we learn from Wu's opinion according to paragraph 6？

A. Craftsmen should have new ideas in the craft based on traditional culture.

B. Pursuing fashion should be the first preference for craftspeople.

C. Local people benefit a lot from the straw?weaving techniques.

D. Straw?weaving products are out of favor with customers.

11. What is the main purpose of the text？

A. To explain the process of straw weaving.

B. To present the history and future of a traditional culture.

C. To introduce a way to pursue the beauty and artistry.

D. To propose a new means of crafting.

But last year， Sandros fathers investment went bad， wiping out thefamily and sending his parents to prison. As a teenager under 16 years old， Sandro wasforced to go to Newcastle in the northeast of England to stay with his uncle Lawrence.

Sandro had a lot of difficulties in the new environment. He didn't like the food in Eng?land. Nobody could forecast the weather in Newcastle. He had to start learning a secondforeign language in his new school. Pocket money was not enough as usual. Almost everysubject was a challenge for him. Most importantly， he had no friends. It seemed nobodyknew him and he knew nobody in the school.

On an early summer evening， when Sandro was going home alone from school asusual， a man called him from behind. Sandro turned around and saw Eddie， his PE teacher，standing in front of him.

“You know， the school will have a swimming competition next month. There will beall kinds of races. Will you participate？” Eddie asked.

Sandro took a look at Eddie with doubt and answered，“ You sure？ Me？ No， I won't. Ican swim， but I'm slower than a snail.”

Eddie smiled and then said，“ Yes. Indeed. You are slow in breaststroke （蛙泳）， in backstroke， and in butterfly， but not in freestyle. So join the freestyle race！ 200?meter free?style is the game suitable for you.”

Sandro was speechless at that moment. He had never known someone in the schoolwas observing him and caring for him.

“I don't think I can win anything，” Sandro was still a little puzzled.

“But you may get more recognition and consequently you can make some friends.That is more important than prizes，” Eddie responded immediately.

Having hesitated for a while， Sandro agreed to have a try.

注意：續写词数应为150左右。

Paragraph 1：

Every afternoon for the next month， Sandro trained really hard.____________

Paragraph 2：

Sandro dived into the pool confidently like other competitors._______________
