五、阅读理解
At a primary school in Beijing, students watched carefully. An old craftsman(手艺人), Mr Zhang, finished a small green butterfly. He made it with thin grass. When he held it in the sun, it looked like it could fly away.
Mr Zhang is very good at this art. With his hands, even common grass becomes lovely animals. “Straw weaving(草编) is like talking to nature,” he says. Mr Zhang fell in love with straw weaving when he was a child. Later, it even became his job. Over the years, he has learned more than 100 ways to weave.
He once worked in a store, making animals with grass. “Not many people bought them,” he laughed, “but some people loved them and ordered more.” He knows that this art is not for everyone—only for those who see how valuable it is.
Straw weaving is not easy. It needs a calm mind and patience. Not many young people want to learn it, because they can't make much money. But Mr Zhang keeps teaching. He often teaches kids the traditional art in schools in Beijing.
“Maybe the kids won't become straw weaving artists,” he says. “But if they remember making a grass butterfly with their own hands, this traditional art will live on.”
