2．Chinese traditional paper cutting is an art of cutting out pictures from paper with the help of a pair of scissors or a knife.In 2009，the Chinese paper cutting was added to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity （人類非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)代表作名錄）.
   Paper cutting originated （起源） in China，which is thought to have begun in 4th century with the invention of paper.But long before that， ▲，Chinese people already used similar skills to cut on leaves，leather and silk.Therefore，it' s really a long art form that has been practiced in China through many centuries.
   The subjects of the paper cuttings can be anything，from historical events and fairy tale characters to plants and animals.The paper cuttings are so vivid that they look like real ones.Paper cutting may sound easy，but actually it's difficult to do well.
   Modern Chinese artists have never stopped trying in different ways.Li Baofeng is a 54-year-old folk artist. "Traditional paper cuttings are often made with red paper，which seems to be a little boring.So I want to make something new，" says Li.She has made works in different colors which have amazing effects.
   By combining the techniques （技藝） of traditional paper cutting with modern computer-designing，artists today can produce 3 D paper cuttings.They also use more techniques such as chromatic printing （彩色印刷），woodblock printing （雕版印刷） and air brushing （噴繪） to create livelier works.
   Through centuries，Chinese paper cutting has also been introduced into many other countries in Asia and Europe.Now more and more people love paper cutting works and buy them as gifts for their friends.

（1）To do Chinese traditional paper cutting，we need the following things except

.
A．paper

3．According to legend，tea was first discovered by the Chinese emperor and inventor Shennong in 2737 B．C..It is said that the emperor liked his drinking water boiled before he drank it，so that was what his servant did．One day，on a trip to a distant place，he and his army stopped to rest．A servant began boiling water for him to drink，and a dead leaf from the wild tea bush fell into the water．It turned brown，but it was unnoticed and presented to the emperor anyway．The emperor drank it and found it very refreshing．a(chǎn)nd tea came into being．
   The origin of tea as a medicine for staying awake is unclear．China is considered to have the earliest records of tea drinking，with recorded tea use in its history dating back to the first millennium （千年）B．C．The Han Dynasty （206 B．C．-220 A．D．） used tea as medicine．The use of tea as a drink for pleasure on social occasions dates from the Tang Dynasty （618-907 A．D．）．
   The Tang Dynasty writer Lu Yu's （729- -804 A．D．） Cha Jing is an early work on the subject．According to Cha Jing writing，around 760 A．D，tea drinking was very popular．The book describes how tea plants were grown and how the leaves were processed．It also describes how tea was developed．The book also discusses where the best tea leaves were produced．
   At this time in tea's history，the nature of the drink and style of tea preparation were quite different from the way we experience today．Tea leaves were processed into the forms of cakes．The dried teacake，generally called brick tea was placed in a stone mortar （臼）．Hot water was added to the powdered teacake and then enjoyed as a hot drink．

．
