Blue calico (印花布) appeared in the Han and Jin dynasties, developed in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and
flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the 1980s, women in the Jiangnan countryside liked to wear blue
calico clothes, for they were not only beautiful but also comfortable for working in rice fields. Last month, students
in school got the chance to see and learn about these ___45___ clothes.
The “exploration of old Chinese costumes” class on Nov 8 at Nanjing Foreign Language School went deep
into learning about blue calico. The students met the ___46___ of making their own bags through tie-dyeing (扎

“First, fold the cloth bag the way you like,” said he, a grade 8 student. “Then use rubber bands (橡皮筋) to
hold it. Next, ___47___ blue dye which is made from the leaves of the indigo plant, to the water. Push the bag

extra dye.”
“Tie-dyeing is a magical art. Everyone does it a bit ___49___. You never know exactly how it will look in the
end because it depends on how the rubber bands are held. It’s amazing and attractive.” said Ma Qianyu, a grade 8
student, happy with her work. “The dye and cotton material all come from ___50___ and people make blue calico
all by hand. It is a symbol of folk (民间的) people and their hard work and effort.” she said.
“Clothing is a part of culture. It is also a part of art and life,” said Chen Xi, the teacher of the class. “Our
students will later go to Nanjing Museum to get more knowledge about life in Jiangsu and the folk customs there.”

Walk to School Week takes place from 15 to 19 May. As well as being better for the environment, regular walking
can improve your body and mind.
Why is walking good for you?
Have you ever noticed you have more energy after a walk? According to experts, walking isn’t just good for your
p___51___ health, but it can also clear your mind, sharpen your senses and lift your mood. In fact, many people
c___52___ walking “one of the great superpowers” because it makes your brain work harder. Making walks part of
your daily routine (日常事) means you can use this superpower more o___53___.
How do you make the most of your walks?
Walking with friends or family is a great opportunity to catch up (叙旧) and t___54___ about your daily life,
including any friendship or homework worries. If there is a field or a park on the way, you can make a game when
you try to find a different bird or insect every day. Walking along pavements is a chance to practise road safety skills
and make you know better about t___55___ rules. It’s also an opportunity to get to know your neighbourhood
better.
What will you do if you can’t walk all the way to school?
Not everyone can get to school on foot but there are lots of ways to make walking or exercise part of your daily
routine. If you catch a bus, try getting off a stop e___56___ and walking the rest of the way. Fewer cars outside the
school gates will also mean l___57___ pollution in the air, which is good for everybody and the planet too.
D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12 分）
As you probably know, the town council (议会) has got £1 million to spend in improving the town’s facilities

for young people and we’re looking for great ideas on how to spend the money well. Post your ideas in the forum
(论坛) below and let us know how we can make life better for you.
Here are some ideas.
There’s nothing for teenagers to do in this town, especially at night. Can we use the money to build a youth
club? Somewhere with a pool table and a table tennis table, perhaps. We need somewhere to play happily and hang
out safely in the evenings. —Daisy, 15
I think the best use for the money is to build a playground in the town park. It should have lots of rides for
the young kids. I’d like to have a skateboard park for a start and maybe if there is enough money, we can have a
climbing wall, too. —Luke, 13
As I’m only 14, I can’t drive, so I go everywhere on my bike. But the roads are dangerous and many motorists
drive too fast. How about spending the money in building more cycle lanes? We could also put in more speed cameras
and zebra crossings, too. This will make life safer for all our citizens, not just the young people. —Liz, 14
How about a big billboard at the entrance to the town that reads, “TEEN WARNING—there’s nothing to do
here!” —Sadie, 16
This probably sounds like a boring idea, but can’t we use some of the money to buy more litter bins? I feel
ashamed of our town when I see much litter on the ground. We need to tidy up our town quickly! —Jack, 15
Our high street is full of empty shops because everyone just shops at the new shopping centre outside of town
or online. Why don’t we use the money to turn some of these empty shops into an arts centre? It can have studios
where we can draw and paint or learn how to make films. We can also have a music studio where local bands can
record music cheaply. —Alex, 17
58. How much money has the town council got?
________________________________________________
59. What do Daisy and Sadie think of the town?
