One saying is that it originated from the religious ceremony or offering sacrifices (供品). The ancient people cut papers into animals or people. They either buried them with the dead or burned them on the funerals, wishing that things that paper stand for could be with the dead. Later, they were used during festivals to decorate gates and windows. After hundreds of years development, now they have become a very popular means of decoration among country folk, especially women. It is easy to learn about cutting a piece of paper but very difficult to master it with perfection. Beginners need only a knife and paper. For craftsman, they need knives and gravers of various types to make complicated (复杂的) patterns. It can be one piece of paper or many pieces. Simple patterns can be cut with a knife. For complicated patterns, people first pasted the pattern on the paper and then used various kinds of knives to make it. No mistake can be made during the process otherwise the work would fail.Paper cutting covers nearly all topics, from flowers, birds, animals, legendary people, figures in classic novels, to types of facial makeup in Peking opera. Paper cutting has various styles in different parts of China.In the past, women living in the countryside gathered in their free time to make paper cutting, which is a way to judge their skillfulness. As society develops, fewer and fewer people learn this skill while there are some who still regard it as a profession. At present, there are factories and associations for paper cutting in China.

Probably not. Not many Londoners know it either, but Henri does and he is willing to show it to you.Henri used to sleep in parks until he met a charity (慈善机构) that helps homeless people get back on their feet by becoming tour guides.Rather than show traditional London sights, “Unseen Tours” take people off the beaten track. Henri has been teaching tourists about the history and architecture of Shoreditch, where he slept on public benches for three years.When he felt separated from the society, contact with the volunteer network “The Sock Mob” gave Henri hope. “Not everyone just looked down on me，” he said. The tours arent the only actions trying to help those who have suffered a misfortune to stand tall again.An innovative (创新的) college for homeless people in London, the first of its kind in the country, is attracting hundreds of students.

He had difficulty learning to read and had to leave school when he was 12.

He says the status of “student” is itself important for people who are used to being treated as outcasts (被遗弃者)Some charities aim not only to help the homeless become independent but also to make them popular.

However, the following year he married PaulineVirginie Ono, and they moved to Paris. After being refused at the Salon of 1843 and Paulines death, Millet returned again to Cherbourg. In 1845 Millet moved to Le Harvre where he painted portraits for several months, before moving back to Paris. It was in Paris in the middle 1840s that Millet made friends with many famous artists who had great influences on him. Then he gradually revolutionized his painting style and created his own one.This is the most well known of Millets paintings, The Gleaners (拾穗者), in which poor women and children are removing the bits of grain left in the fields following the harvest. A warm golden light suggests something holy (神圣的) in this daily scene where the struggle to survive takes place. During his years of studies, Millet thought about how to best tell the sense of repetition and tiredness in the peasants daily lives. Lines traced over each womans back to the ground and then back up again and again which means their hard labor. Along the horizon (地平线), the setting sun outlines the farm with its plentiful stacks of grain, in contrast to the large shadowy figures in the foreground (前台). The dark dresses of the gleaners cut strong forms against the golden field, giving each woman a noble strength.In 1857, he presented the painting The Gleaners to the Salon to an unfriendly public.12What does the warm golden light in the painting imply?APoor women and children are very hardworking.BPeople should go home and have a rest.CIt is a very nice day which promises a good harvest.DSomething related to religion deserves our respect.13It can be inferred from the passage that _.AMillet once left Paris but returned laterBMillets painting presents a happy countrysideCMillet can express his thought very easilyDthe public thought highly of The Gleaners at that time14What does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean?AA creative way of doing things.BNew hope for the future.CDoing the same thing many times.DDisappointment with the hard life.15Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?AMillets new painting style was influenced by his friends.BPeople in Millets paintings are often very active.CMillet was never refused by any club in his life.DMillet took the career as a portrait painter all his life.任务型阅读Sleeping and PersonalitiesYou may be active or humorous, and others may be shy or serious.
