In ancient China the kite was known as “Zhiyuan“. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (original) regarded as a technology, it also featured in many art collections, and was considered to have unique artistic value.

One book noted that the master carpenter Lu Ban also made some which {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(use) to spy on the situation of the enemy.

    Now the basic procedure of making kites remains the same, but {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(style) of kite-making vary in different regions. These in the “World Kite Capital” of Weifang in Shandong Province are well known for{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(they) craftsmanship, materials, painting, sculpture and flexible flying movement.

    The word Nushu literally means “women's writing” in Chinese: As the name suggests, Nushu is created and specially used by women.

    Often {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（call） “the world's only surviving characters for women”, these slim words were developed from standard written Chinese. In the old days, Nushu {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（teach）by elderly women to girls at home because female children weren't allowed {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（attend）formal school. During gatherings in villages, women used the characters to .write poems or song lyrics to express their emotions {#blank#}4{#/blank#} were hidden from men. The words were full {#blank#}5{#/blank#} encouragement and positive energy, and showed an uncommon open-mindedness among women at that time.

    Ji Xianlin once said that Nushu is a feminist（女权主义者）symbol. “It's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} unique writing system created by {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（talent）women who were deprived（剥夺）of the right to education,” he wrote in an article. “It has significance in various {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（field）and represents Chinese people's strong spirit.”

    Nushu was made as a national cultural heritage in 2006. However, it is not {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（wide）used in daily life today. In fact, it is a dying language. Now linguists are taking action to prevent this incredible cultural heritage from{#blank#}10{#/blank#}（disappear）.

    Anna had a car accident when she was a teenager. She lost her arms because of that. What's worse, when she was twenty years old, she lost her parents. Her elder sister, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is ten years older than her, told her she'd take care of her. However, Anna refused {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (live) with her. Instead, she said she would take care of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (she). She managed to enter college and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (study) very hard. Four {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(year) later, she graduated and offered work. Once she wrote in her diary, "I am quite lucky. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I lost my arms, I still have my legs." Anna lost her arms, but she chose to face it in a positive way. Instead of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (feel) sad every day, she decided not to let it hold her back. She has taught us {#blank#}8{#/blank#} good lesson.

    When something bad happens to us, we have two {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (choose). One is to complain, and the other is to face it {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (brave). If we choose to escape, it will always follow us wherever we go. If we decided to be strong, new hopes will come. So choose wisely.
