It often looks like a painting, but there is a lot of carving in this artwork. It is called ruanmuhua. It dates back to 1914. Back then, Chinese artist Wu Qiqi got the idea from a picture postcard from Germany and created this beautiful art form. In 2008, ruanmuhua was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产).
As a lover of ruanmuhua, Chen Kongguo started to learn the skill at 13. The 73-year-old from Fuzhou, Fujian Province has spent his life working on ruanmuhua.
“Instead of using a pen or a brush, we use a set of nicking tools to create ruanmuhua, ”Chen said. He has to change tools for the small parts of an artwork.
Making such an artwork is not easy. Although ruanmuhua has many things like buildings, trees, and animals, every craftsman usually focuses on one type of them. It is because the skill is very hard to learn.
So it requires a few people to work together on one artwork. “We usually start by carving small pieces, and we’ll stick all the pieces together to make up a work, ” Chen added.
As the one focusing on carving buildings, every time Chen begins, he has to visit the building in person and then use a computer to make a smaller model. “If there’s a small change, the whole work cannot be finished, "Chen said. “After many years of working as a ruanmuhua creator, I even got to know more about Chinese-style architecture,” he added.
1. Where did Wu Qiqi get the idea of ruanmuhua from?
A. An old Chinese painting in Beijing.
B. A tall building near his own house.
C. A picture postcard from Germany.
D. One of the photos of a German artist.
2. The meaning of the underlined word “requires” is close to “ ______ ”.
A. orders
B. collects
C. teaches
D. needs
3. What is Paragraph 5 about?
A. What kind of materials ruanmuhua usually uses.
B. Why a few people are glad to work with Chen.
C. How an artwork of ruanmuhua is usually made.
D. Why Chen and his team want to make ruanmuhua.
4. Which one is NOT true about Chen Kongguo?
A. He spent about 40 years carving ruanmuhua.
B. He uses nicking tools to create ruanmuhua.
C. He doesn’t use a pen or a brush while carving.
D. He knows a lot about Chinese-style architecture.
5. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Some famous artworks about ruanmuhua.
B. The importance of ruanmuhua in China.
C. A master’s story about making ruanmuhua.
D. The history of ruanmuhua.

I grew up in the woods. One of my favourite things to do in the woods was go camping.
Most people go camping in campgrounds, where there are prepared areas for them to set up tents and spend the evening.
To me, real camping is about doing it in a DIY style. You go deep into the woods where no one else has ever been before. You build a small shelter out of fallen trees, tree branches and leaves. You make your own fire for light and heat. And if you’re really skilled, you can go hunting or fishing for your dinner!
Sitting under the stars at night to get away from civilization is one of the best things about camping. Everyone should get to experience it.
But if you go camping on your own, you’ll need to have the necessary skills. Otherwise, your parents should go with you.
