Chinese Calligraphy
What is calligraphy? It’s handwriting. Any language can be written in calligraphy, but Chinese calligraphy is especially beautiful. It takes a lot of patience and practice to
write Chinese calligraphy. 1. . During the lessons, they learn how to hold a brush. They also learn how to make different strokes (一笔) to make Chinese characters.
There are many different kinds of brushes people can buy to do calligraphy.
2. . But there is one kind of calligraphy brush that is extra special. This brush is made from baby hair! Hundreds of years ago in China, people started to believe a baby-hair brush was good luck. It is a tradition. 3. .
4. .To make a brush, a family will cut off a baby’s hair when he or she is about one month old. Then they will take some of the baby’s hair to a shop to be made into a brush. 5. . It takes more than 80 steps to make one brush. That’s why these brushes are such a treasure.
A life decided to eat fruits and greens or one in which you enjoy juicy steak (牛排) and hamburgers, which do you prefer?
It is not a question of culture, it is not even a question of killing animals. Even a carrot dies when pulled out of the ground. It is a matter of the protection of the planet
because our meat eating habits might be stressing (给……压力) our ecological (生态
的) system.
It’s no longer ―might‖, we are destroying our planet.
Most of the meat that we eat comes from livestock, which is about 23 billion in population and causes the waste of our natural resources. Every second of every day one football field size rainforest is destroyed, and much of it is used to farm and raise livestock.
Raising the animals also requires huge quantities (量) of water, mostly to grow
the grains (谷物) fed to them. It takes over 2,000 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef, which can be used for a seven-minute shower every day for a minimums (最小量) of four months. Take your pick: four months without a shower or a hamburger.
Meat has to be cut, cleaned and processed. One doesn’t just buy a cow and start eating it. According to David Pimentel from Cornell University, it takes 20 times more energy to produce beef than tofu, and both have the same good sources of protein (蛋 白质).
The waste from the animals is one of the main causes of water and air pollution. The animal waste cannot be used in the fields because it can spread diseases to humans. In 1995, 25 million gallons of animal waste flowed into the New River in North Carolina, killing 10 million fish and destroying 364,000 acres of coastal (沿海 的) wetlands.
Animal farming also produces larger quantities of greenhouse (温室) gases, such as methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). If your next Christmas is unusually hot or especially cold, blame the steak you ate the night before.
I am not saying that everybody needs to stop eating meat right this minute. I don’t think we can produce enough corns, fruits, and vegetables. I am just saying we need to
cut our meat consumption (消费), 70 grams per day is okay if we want normal weather,
clean air and drinking water.

B.only eat steak for our health next Christmas

D.feed animals instead of planting enough plants
A habit is a usual practice. Everyday activities become habits for most people. For example, Mark wakes up every morning and reads his newspaper with a cup of coffee. People in different countries have different cultures. Cultures have certain habits as well. In North America there are many habits which are different from those
in other countries. The way we eat is one example. An American might eat toast (烤面 包) or eggs for breakfast, but in Asia people might eat rice and soup for breakfast.
If someone’s habit troubles you, it is called a pet peeve (不能忍受的事). A pet peeve can be considered rude by another. Cross-culturally you’ll find many different pet peeves. Spitting (吐痰) on the street or bumping into (碰到) someone without
saying ―excuse me‖ might be considered rude. Wearing improper clothes or saying something at the wrong time can also be a pet peeve.
In the United State it is rude to cut in line, which means to step ahead of someone who has been waiting longer than you. Americans will generally form a line if more than two people are waiting. There seems to be an unwritten rule of first come, first served, which gives order to large groups. When traveling to a foreign country, it is a good idea to find out which habits may be considered pet peeves by the native people. When in Rome do as the Romans do is another expression that reminds us to follow the customs or habits of the local people.

Long ago, there was a rich man who had two sons. The older brother, who was called Nolbu, was greedy (贪婪的) and lazy. However, his younger brother Hungbu was hard-working and kind-hearted. When their father died, Nolbu inherited (继承) his house and land, but Hungbu received nothing.
One day when Hungbu was working in the fields, he found a bird which had broken its leg. He took the bird home and looked after it carefully. The bird gradually became stronger, and when summer came, it flew away to a warm place. A year later
the bird flew back and gave Hungbu a seed (种子). Hungbu sowed (播种) the seed and
it soon grew into a plant which produced many gourds (葫芦). When Hungbu opened one of the gourds, he was amazed to see that it was full of treasure. He wanted to use the treasure to do something useful. The next day he bought a big house and moved there with his family.

and decided to do the same as his brother. He also found a bird, but he broke its leg

However, when Nolbu opened one of the gourds, goblins (小 妖精) quickly came out of it and stole all his money. After that Nolbu went to his brother to ask for help.
