第二节 阅读短文，回答问题(每小题2分，共10分)
One day, Li Yan found an old calligraphy scroll(卷轴) in her grandfather's study.
Three beautiful Chinese characters read "文化传", but the fourth was missing. "My
students and I haven't finished it. What a pity!" her grandfather said.
As the leader of the Art Club, Li Yan also noticed most students only saw
characters as something on their phones, not art. Then Li Yan had an idea. After
discussing with her club members, they decided to host a Calligraphy Month where
every student could try writing the missing character.
At first, they found the brushes were too old, and ink spilled everywhere. Later,
beginner's tools and simple guides showing basic strokes were prepared. Finally,
everything went on well. Many students tried holding brushes for the first time. And
some experienced students came to help. Even some teachers joined in and something
more wonderful happened. The science teacher showed how ink flows like water. The
history teacher told stories behind different styles.
Day by day, hundreds of the missing characters were written—some big, some
small, but all unique.
On the final day, Li Yan's grandfather visited. He carefully chose one character
that fit perfectly with the old ones. Holding Li Yan's hand, he and Li Yan completed
the scroll "文化传承" together.
Now the scroll hung in their school hall is no longer just an artwork; it is an
invitation. Every year, ...
