核心素养专练(二)
A
How do you keep cool during summer? Air conditioning(空调) or electric
fans are good tools in modern society. But before that, people could only use
fans.
Over 3,000 years ago, fans began to be used. They were made of
feathers(羽毛), bamboo or silk. They came in different shapes, including round
and square.
Later, with the invention of paper, folding(可折叠的) paper fans became
popular during the Song Dynasty. There were usually beautiful pictures on
fans. Some were landscapes(风景). Others were flowers and animals. Moreover,
many great people including Su Dongpo,a poet of the Song Dynasty, and Tang
Yin, a scholar and painter of the Ming Dynasty, once painted their
masterpieces(杰作) on fans. This made fans not only useful tools in daily life
but also great artworks.
Therefore, with their value of beauty, people take fans as a symbol of
status(地位). That's why in ancient China, emperors and scholars often held
fans.
Today, fans are also great collectors' items and gifts. At the opening
ceremony of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, folding fans were given to
leaders and officials of other countries, as well as foreign audience. While they
were waving fans to get cool, they were also experiencing Chinese culture.

Have you ever seen lions dancing in the streets? The lions dance to the
beat of a drum(鼓). Of course, they are not real lions. They are dancers in
lion costumes(服饰). Lion dancing first started in China centuries ago. It is
meant to bring good luck in the coming year.
Usually, a lion is made up of two dancers. One dancer controls the head.
The other controls the tail.
"I think of it as a sport," says Anthony Huang, aged 16. He is a member
of the New York Chinese Freemasons Athletic Club. Anthony performs(表演)
as the lion's head. It can weigh 20 pounds. Lion dancing is important to
Anthony. "This tradition really lifts me up," he says.
In the past, lion dancing was performed mostly by men. But it is different
today. LionDanceMe is a lion dancing group in San Francisco, California.
There are boys and girls on its team. They dance together.
"Anyone can take up lion dancing. You have to believe that you can do
it," says Ananda Tang-Lee, a 17-year-old girl.
Lion dancing will continue to evolve, but a team's sense of community
will never change. "We call it a family," Ananda says. "It's really great,

Are you hoping to blend in like locals on your next visit to Thailand?
Here are three traditions only locals in Thailand can understand. They will
help you fit right in.
Different days, different colors
In Thailand, green is usually worn on Wednesdays. Visitors to the country
may notice that Thai people seem to wear the same color. This is because
each day of the week is assigned a color. Monday is for yellow. Tuesday is
for pink. Wednesday is for green, and so on. Not all Thais follow this dress
code, but some of them do, especially those who work for the government.
Greeting with Wai
Those visitors to Thailand who reach their hand out to shake with a
stranger's hand in greeting will be met with strange looks. The Wai is
considered a common greeting in Thailand. A person puts their hands together
and drops their shoulders for their nose to touch their hands. It looks like a
bow. The higher the hands go on someone's face, the more respectful the
greeting is.
Take your shoes offIn Thailand, people's feet are considered the most disrespectful part of the
body. This is why visitors will find that at many places, from restaurants to
homes, Thai people remove their shoes before entering. Be sure to follow the
locals, and whatever you do, do not point your feet in the direction of
someone else. It is considered very impolite. Besides, the head is considered
the most sacred part of a person's body, so do not touch anyone's head unless
you are allowed to do that.

A. Take off the shoes.

①A Farewell(送别) Song
Wang Wei
No dust is raised on the road wet with morning ▲ ,
The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green.
I invite you to drink a cup of wine again,
West of the sunny pass no more friends will be seen.
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)②With the temperature rising, spring is a good time to go out and travel
far away. Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei says goodbye to his friend in this
season. The poem A Farewell Song describes his experience.
③On a spring morning, Wang has to say goodbye to his friend —Yuan
Er who would leave for a faraway place called Anxi. Wang hopes that his
friend Yuan will safely return from Anxi, although he knows that they might
not see each other again. Even with this knowledge, the poet is not willing to
show much sadness for Yuan's departure(离开). Instead, he wants to take the
time to treasure(珍惜) their friendship and invites Yuan to drink a cup of
wine. In the poem, Wang uses the skill of exchanging(转换) roles. On the
surface, the poet says goodbye to his friend. But the fact is that the two likely
have no chance to see each other again. So it is that Yuan says goodbye to
the poet as well.
④Wang Wei is considered one of the greatest poets of the Tang Dynasty,
along with Du Fu and Li Bai. Of the three, Wang Wei was the only one who
had a successful career in the bureaucracy(官场). When he was free, he spent
much time in the countryside thinking about nature. Wang is best known for
describing quiet scenes(场景) of water and mist, with few details and little
human presence. He has been praised for "putting painting into his poetry and
poetry into his painting".
