Chen Jia, a young woman from Chaozhou, has concentrated(集中精力) herself on passing forward and innovating(创新) Chaozhou woodcarving.Chen, born in the 1990s, began to learn the craft(工艺) when she was 14 years old under the influence and support of he r family. “I wanted to give up several times during the learning process, as I often hurt myself. It’s also very difficult. My father wanted me to give up woodcarving and find an easier job. However, I fought on.” Chen said.Chen recalled that she had a strong sense of achievement when her first woodcarving artwork, which took her several months to finish, was sold. “Since I have learned it, I just keep going,” said the artist.To finish one woodcarving piece, a woodcarver usually needs more than 30 carving knives and wooden hammers of different sizes. A common theme for carvings includes different sea animals. In the past, Chaozhou woodcarvings were mainly used to decorate buildings, including serving as furniture and ceremonial objects. However, they have started to lose their charm among people living in modern life.To attract young people to better appreciate the traditional art form, Chen has innovated on the craft in terms of its themes, shapes and usage. She now carves out small decorative objects and articles for daily use, hoping that more and more people will accept the art works as their liking.26.

Zhang Zhifeng, an artist of Chabaixi, was glad to see the TV drama brought the technique to people’s attention.Chabaixi can create endless patterns such as bamboos and mountains or even Chinese characters. How can it be made? There are over a dozen steps, from grinding（磨碎）tea for fine powder to pouring boiled water, stirring the mixture for thick froth（泡沫）, and finally drawing the patterns. It is different from making latte because people use clear water as the object to put into the cup instead of milk. When the water touches the surface, it turns into white color and disappears in 20 minutes. The process before the drawing is known as the tea-making technique, diancha. The quality of diancha is extremely important to whether patterns can be successfully produced later.“Chabaixi is one of the countless forms of tea-making techniques in China. This technique is not only unique in the world, but also it gives us a window into people’s lifestyle in the Song Dynasty, a period of time when free-time activities in some ways were like what we have now.” Zhang said. Before Chabaixi was discovered by TV audiences, the technique was on the List of Intangible Culture Heritage（非物质文化遗产名录）of Fujian Province in 2017, after it was recovered by Zhang Zhifeng. He started researching Chabaixi in the 1980s and brought the technique back in 2009 after decades of practice.Now with Zhang’s better skills in tea making, he is also performing and teaching Chabaixi in vocational school across China. About ten years ago, this special technique was close to disappearing completely. However, it is important to the tea culture and it would be a shame to let it fade. It is my duty to pass it on to the next generation.26. What do the underline words “gone viral” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A．Disappeared suddenly. B．Became popular quickly.C．Received good protection. D．Remained highly competitive.27. What do we know about Chabaixi?A．It is painted with whipped milk.

B．The Tang Dynasty.C．In the year 2017. D．Nearly 30 years ago.29. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．The beginning of Chabaixi . B．The special quality of Chabaixi .C．The importance of Chabaixi . D．The development of Chabaixi .30. What is true about Zhang Zhifeng?A．He teaches people the tea culture of the Song Dynasty.B．He makes the best Chabaixi in the whole nation.C．He encourages people to pass on the technique of Chabaixi .D．He wants to develop Chabaixi through media.配对阅读。
