四、阅读理解。
Wang Maowei, a 40-year-old artist, is good at making stick puppets.
When he was a little boy, he watched how his parents performed those beautiful puppets, and how interesting those performances were. Gradually, he fell in love with it as a teenager.
When he was 17, he went to Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, to learn puppet-making from a master. After spending seven years there, he returned to his hometown to work with the same group as his parents did.
It takes 40 to 50 days to make a stick puppet. The average height of a puppet is 75 cm to 1 m, and it has different costumes（服装）to fit different plays and stories.
To make puppets, you need to have some basic knowledge of fine arts. The most difficult part is to persist（坚持）because it can be robotic and hard. Wang was strict with himself. After at least 5 years of learning from his master, he began to think out new forms. “It is important to keep up with the times and be creative,” he said to himself.
Wang puts gears（齿轮）inside the puppet heads. He found a special kind of paper to make them work — the nose, eyes and mouth of a puppet will all move with the use of one stick. It lets puppet players put the puppets away easily.
With the help of modern technology, his puppets can even perform bianlian or face-changing. To attract more young people, he has made some changes to the puppet plays. His group now only uses background music instead of local operas. This makes it easier for the young to understand.
