20.By drawing patterns on the surface of a cup of tea,chabaixi,an ancient Chinese tea trick shown in a recent TV drama,has gone viral for its similarity with modern latte art (咖啡拉花藝術(shù)).Zhang Zhifeng,a practitioner of chabaixi,was glad to see the TV drama brought the technique(技藝) to people's attention. Chabaixi can create endless patterns,such as bamboos and mountains or even Chinese characters.How can it be made?There are over a dozen steps,from grinding(磨碎) tea for fine powder,to pouring boiled water,stirring the mixture for thick froth(泡沫),and finally drawing the patterns.It is different from making latte because people use clear water as the object to put into the cupnstead of milk.When the water touches the surface,it turns into a white color and disappears in 20 minutes.The process before the drawing is known as the tea-making technique,diancha.The quality of diancha is extremely important to whether patterns can be successfully produced later. "Chabaixi is one of the countless forms of tea-making techniques in China.This technique is not only unique in the world,but also it gives us a window into people's lifestyle in the Song Dynasty,a period of time when free-time activities in some ways were like what we have now,"Zhang said. Before chabaixi was discovered by TV audiences,the technique was on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)名錄) of Fujian Province in 2017,after it was recovered by Zhang Zhifeng.He started researching chabaixi in the 1980s and brought the technique back in 2009 after decades of practice. Zhang considers all his hard work worthwhile.Now with Zhang's better skills in tea making,he is also performing and teaching chabaixi in vocational schools across China."About ten years ago,this special technique was close to disappearing completely.However,it is important to the tea culture,and it would be a shame to let it fade.It is my duty to pass it on to the next generations." Zhang said.

A.To explain the way to protect chabaixi. B.To tell the value of Zhang Zhifeng's hard work. C.To show that it is a shame if we let chabaixi fade. D.To introduce Zhang Zhifeng's plan of passing on chabaixi.
21.Most kids feel excited and proud to become junior high school students.But for Ge Shuai,a junior 1 student in Yangzhou,the happiness of growing up also comes with pain(痛苦).He and his best friend are now in different classes. Ge is not the only kid who feels this growing pain.To save the children from being lonely when friends are away,there are new rules in many schools in London to stop students from having a single best friend.Teachers encourage them to play in large groups. Having only one best friend has some problems.If you have a best friend,you may not go out with other people who could become your friends one day.You may not have a chance to meet other people because you and your best friend are always together. It can make your world very small. However,Gaynor Sbuttoni,a doctor in London,doesn't think the no-best-friend policy is a good idea.She thinks it is natural(正常的)for children to want a best friend and that schools should not stop their friendships. "If they break up,they have to feel the pain because then they're learning to do with it.As parents,we're all trying to stop our children feeling pain,but what we should be doing is helping them face it and find ways to work it out,rather than trying to take it away." she said.

A.Having only one best friend. B.Going out with other people. C.Making friends with new people. D.Having a chance to meet other people. (3)According to the passage,what does Gaynor think parents can do?
A.They can stop their children from feeling pain. B.They can tell their children to play in large groups. C.They can tell their children not to have a best friend. D.They can help their children face the pain and find ways. (4)What is the passage about?

33.Chinese shadow puppetry(皮影戲) is a form of traditional Chinese folk drama,probably one of the oldest arts using light and shadow.It is also a mix of many art forms,including painting,music,opera and story-telling.Shadow puppetry was added to UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage(非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)) List in 2011. More than 2,000 years ago,Emperor Wu of Han was very sad about the death of his wife.One day,one of his men happened to see some children playing with toys.The shadows of the toys were lively on the floor.Then he had an idea—he made a puppet(人偶) of the emperor's wife.As night fell,he invited the emperor to watch a puppet show.This is believed to be the start of shadow puppetry. In the Tang Dynasty,shadow puppetry was played by many people in many places around the country.Then in the Yuan Dynasty,it was introduced into West Asian and European countries along the Silk Road.The art form became the most popular in the Qing Dynasty. In recent years,puppetry artists have explored ways to make this ancient art form as popular as it used to be and pass it on to the young,hoping more people can understand its importance and feel its beauty.They also get support from the Chinese government.Thanks to their hard work,Chinese shadow puppetry is becoming great again.
