六、传统文化任务型阅读。
阅读短文，回答下列问题。
How do we know about things that happened thousands of years ago when there were no videos or photos? One answer is written records. The earliest written records of Chinese civilization(文明) are known as oracle bone inscriptions(甲骨文).
About 3,600 years ago, people in the Shang Dynasty liked to ask fortune tellers(占卜师) about the future. For example, “What will the weather be like next week?” “Where should I go to make money?” “Will my wife give birth to a boy or a girl?” From work to love, people asked questions about many topics. The fortune teller would write the question on an oracle bone, heat it up, and then read the cracks(裂纹) in it to find an answer.
Tens of thousands of oracle bones have been found so far. They can tell us a great deal about how people lived during the Shang Dynasty. “They help us understand the origins of Chinese philosophy(哲学) and thought, and figure out where our culture comes from,” Song Zhenhao, a leading oracle bone expert, told China Daily.
In addition to(除了) telling us about ancient Chinese culture, the oracle bones are also the key to understanding the development of Chinese characters(汉字). Many of the Chinese characters we use today are similar to those used 3,600 years ago. “The oracle bone inscriptions, as the earliest-known mature(成熟的) form of Chinese characters, represent the beauty and uniqueness(唯一) of a language that has been passed down,” said Chen Nan, a professor at Tsinghua University.

2. How long is the history of oracle bone inscriptions?
3. How did fortune tellers get answers?
4. Besides ancient Chinese culture, what do the oracle bones also tell us?
