【題目】As traditional Chinese art, paper cutting has a long history. The first and earliest paper cutting was found in China 1,500 years ago. But this traditional art is at risk of disappearing now. Luckily, Voyo Woo, a Chinese immigrant(移民)in America, is trying to bring this art back to life.

One Saturday in 2014, Ms Woo held a paper cutting show at a shopping center near Washington. She got much fun and peace doing it. She hoped more people would enjoy it.

Ms Woo began to study the art of paper cutting as a 14-year-old girl in her hometown in China. She said all the students at school had to learn paper cutting. But she had a deep love for it. So her teacher spent more time teaching her after class. Later, she won the second prize in a national painting and art competition. Ms Woo went to America after she finished collage in 2008. Soon after that, she took part in an activity to promote(宣傳)Chinese paper cutting. And then she was invited to show the art in many important activities.“It is important to promote this art to Americans or anyone who is interested in it.Maybe it will make this art more popular.”Woo said.

From the art of paper cutting, people can know about Chinese cultural values, history and stories of people’s life. Ms Woo uses the art as a tool to show Chinese culture to people who know little about it. Chinese art is not only for Chinese, but also for people all over the world.

How do you feel when you are fooled by others? No doubt, feel bad. There is nothing worse than falling for a joke and being a fool except one day. Yes, that’s April Fool’s Day. Nobody will be angry to be an“ April Fool”.1

The headmaster at my school decided to play an April Fools' joke on the students when I was in high school. On March 31, she announced that our school would hold a “Dress to Impress" day.2

Girls were told to wear formal dresses and smart jackets, while a suit jacket and tie for each boy would be best. The teachers, we were told, would do the same.

On April Fool’s Day, many of us students came to school dressed in our best clothes.3In the morning, all of us got together on the playground, waiting for the headmaster. She would speak to the students.4Instead, she wore jeans, running shoes and a T-shirt. The teachers also got dressed casually like her.

“April Fools!” she said, with a big smile on her face. “We just wanted to remind you that teachers have a sense of humor, too!”

Surely, all the teachers weren’t April Fools.5

A. Our hair was tidy and all our shoes were well cleaned.

B. People say something nice to others on that day.

C. All us students spent the rest of the day feeling very foolish indeed.

D. This meant that the better you dressed at school, the higher your marks would be.

E. But everyone knows to be careful on the first day of April.

F. To our surprise, she wasn't dressed up at all.

G. My parents laugh at each other's jokes.
