    BBC: The Chinese culture is fascinating. During China’s Lunar New Year or Spring Festival, paper-cutting is one of China’s most popular and characteristic folk arts. The tradition goes back to the 6th century. After hundreds of years of development, it has now become a very popular way to decorate the house among country folk, especially women. During the Spring Festival, people paste(粘贴)some paper-cuttings on the entrance gates. They are supposed to bring good luck for the family.

    The main cutting tools are simple: paper and scissors or an engraving(雕刻)knife. Clever craftspeople are very good at cutting out a theme about daily life. When you look at works made in this method carefully, you will be amazed by the details in the faces of the people as well as the plants and animals. Although other art forms, like painting, can also show similar scenes paper-cutting still stands out for its charm. Though simple, the color appears charmingly bright.

    While it is easy to learn how to cut a piece of paper, mastering it is another thing. One must hold the knife in an upright fashion and press evenly on the paper with a little strength. Flexibility is required but the whole image will be damaged if you make one mistake. Engravers attempt to carve a circle like the moon, a straight line like a stem of wheat, a square like a brick, and many other forms, but not all of them can do them.

    People find hope and comfort in expressing wishes with paper-cuttings. For a wedding ceremony, red paper-cuttings are traditional and required decorations for the furniture. Patterns of plump children holding fish signify that they will be wealthy next year.

63. Where does the writer of this passage probably come from?

A. The USA.        B. Japan.

C. The UK.         D. France.

64. Usually, paper-cuttings can amaze and impress people by_______ .

A. bringing good luck

B. being true-to-life

C. appearing charmingly bright

D. being all hand-made

65. When you do paper-cutting, you should_______.

A. hold the knife or scissors as tight as you can

B. avoid any unnecessary change

C. bear all the set rules in your mind

D. always be confident and not stop

66. We can learn from the passage that _______.

A. mastering paper-cutting skills is different from cutting a piece of paper

B. paper-cutting is the most popular characteristic folk art

C. women are better at paper-cutting than men

D. paper-cutting can nearly bring people good luck
