五、完形填空。〔人与社会——家乡文化〕
One day, I went to visit my grandparents' village. As I walked around, I came across a little shop where an old man was working with paper. He used 1 to cut out beautiful shapes like flowers and animals 2 red paper. It was like magic! I was amazed by how 3 he was at it. Then, I heard music and saw a group of people. They were using puppets(木偶) to tell stories about brave heroes. It was so fun to 4.
I also saw a long, colourful dragon dancing through the air. Everyone was having fun. The dragon brings luck and 5 to the village. Feeling interested, I went to a 6 to learn more about Chinese folk art. There, I saw paintings on silk, pottery with fancy designs, and even embroidery on clothes. Every piece was special and told a story of 7 own.
One thing that really caught my 8 was a silk painting of a beautiful mountain. The colours were so bright and the picture made me feel like I was there. I learned that silk paintings are not just pretty. They 9 help keep important stories and traditions alive. After that, I understood that Chinese folk art is not just about looking at pretty things. It's a way for people to 10 their stories, ideas, and values to younger people. I'm so glad I got to see all these wonderful things. It made me know how 11 the people who made these art forms are.
Now, I want to learn more about Chinese folk art and maybe even 12 to make something 13 one day. Because everyone has a story to 14, and Chinese folk art is a great way to share it.
Walking back home, I felt really 15 that I got to be a part of this exciting adventure.
