三、阅读理解
Do you enjoy dancing? Many people do. Some of them, however, dance in unusual places.
Yang Liu, a 24-year-old woman from Guizhou, dances on a piece of bamboo. Yang is an inheritor(继承人) of bamboo drifting(独竹漂), an intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产) in her hometown. Bamboo drifting has a history of 2,000 years. In the past, people used it to cross the river. Now, it becomes a traditional art.
Yang started to learn bamboo drifting at the age of seven. The girl was always ill when she was very young. To have a strong body, her grandmother brought her into the world of bamboo drifting. Learning this traditional skill, in fact, is not easy. The bamboo is thin and slippery(滑). And it is never still because it never completely stops moving in the water. Keeping standing on the bamboo is very difficult. Yang fell into the water and got hurt again and again. But with the help of her family and a love for this “cool skill”, the girl didn’t give up. She always climbed back onto the bamboo. Yang put herself into learning how to bamboo drift all year round, even in the cold of winter and the heat of summer. After three years of hard practice, she could finally stand on the bamboo.
But Yang didn’t stop there. She had the idea of dancing on the bamboo drifting. She went on practicing many difficult acts on her bamboo and went through all kinds of difficulties along with it.
Now, Yang has made a name for herself as a dancer on the bamboo. She is busy performing this traditional art and it’s difficult to get the tickets to enjoy her performance.
Thanks to the people like her, Chinese traditional skills pass down from our ancestors(祖先).
