六、传统文化任务型阅读。
阅读短文，回答下列问题。
When Xiong Chuanfa blows a lifelike tiger out of sugar in just minutes, kids look at him in surprise thinking he is a magician.
Xiong has been blowing sugar figurines(吹糖人) for over twenty years. Blowing sugar figurines is a traditional Chinese folk(民间) art with a history of over 600 years.
Every morning, Xiong prepares the sugar and drives to different markets in Nanchang to start his magic show. He heats(加热) the sugar, pulls off a little to make a ball and blows it into different shapes—a rabbit, a monkey, and so on.
People, especially little kids, are interested in his skills. To draw young people closer to the art, he also stops by colleges. Many college students have been drawn to the art, waiting in line for hands-on experience. Among them, Simon, a foreign student, couldn't help having a try. Though it looked easy, he felt that it was difficult to make sugar figurines. Thanks to Xiong's help, Simon finally saw a horse slowly taking shape.
Simon was deeply moved after learning about the art. "I just can't believe the traditional folk art can be kept so well here. I love it. Chinese culture should be spread around the world," he said.
This art has been passed down for four generations(代) in Xiong's family. His son often blows sugar balloons, just like what he used to do as a child.
"We will pass on the intangible heritage(非物质文化遗产)," said Xiong.
1. How many years of history does this folk art have?
2. Where does Xiong drive to start his magic show?
3. What do many college students wait in line for?
4. How did Simon feel when he made sugar figurines?
5. Do you like the traditional folk art? Why?
