Chen Zijiang is a paper-cutting expert whom I interviewed for my article on Chinese Art. Paper-cutting is something that he learned to do from an early age.

“It is a Chinese folk art with a long history,” Mr. Chen told me, “Paper cuts of animals have been found in tombs which date back to the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasty!” He added that by the Southern Song Dynasty, paper-cutting had become an important part of everyday life.

Mr. Chen went on to explain that there are three types of paper cuts which people still make today: paper cuts for decoration, for religious purposes and for design patterns.

Paper cuts used for decoration are often seen on windows and gates. They are often put up during holidays to bring good luck. They are also used on presents. For example, a present for parents whose child has recently been born might show a paper cut of children. Paper cuts which show the Chinese character for double happiness are often used to celebrate

weddings.

Paper cuts used for religious purposes are often found in temples. They are also used as offerings(祭品) to the dead. People to whom the dead person was related would make these offerings on special days and during festivals

Paper cuts of the third kind are those used to make patterns on clothing. They are also sometimes used to decorate jewellery boxes. Dragons are very popular patterns for these designs.

The interview is very useful as I’ve got a lot of interesting information for my article. I am also ready to try out paper-cutting for myself.

25. How many kinds of paper cuts did Mr. Chen talk about A. One.

B. Two.

C. Three.

D. Four.

26. According to Paragraph 4, paper cuts for decoration are used to______. A. bring good luck C. honor the dead

B. please guests

D. make patterns on clothing

27. What patterns can be often seen on jewellery boxes according to the passage A. Dragons. C. Birds.

B. Pandas.

D. Double happiness

28. How does the writer feel about the interview A. It’s boring.
