Paper cutting is a folk culture with so long a history. When Chinese Lunar New Year is coming, it is a custom 【小题1】 northern people to paste the paper cutting on the window. Gradually, it develops into an art form, one of the 【小题2】(popular) traditional decoration arts. It is recorded that there were decorations made by gold and silver foil, leather and silk products in 1600 B

A．We can say that paper cutting came from these art forms. In the early time,people made images of humans and subjects by hemp paper(麻纸)

【小题3】(bury) together with the body in the tomb or to burn on the funerals(葬礼). With the special symbolization meaning, paper cutting 【小题4】(use) as decorations on sacrificing ceremonies. In 105AD, Cai Lun improved the paper making technique and 【小题5】 large amount of paper was produced, 【小题6】 laid a foundation for the spread of paper cutting. Beautiful patterns were created and gradually, the patterns were 【小题7】(wide) used in other fields later.
There were more records of paper cutting after 960 AD(Song dynasty). Professional paper cutting artists appeared, 【小题8】(specialize) in different patterns.

One of the most important 【小题10】(contribution) of paper cutting in the Song dynasty was that patterns were used on the china.

   “The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence.” That’s an old saying in English. It means that other places often look better, more interesting than the place where you live. “Let’s go to KFC for dinner and then watch some Japanese cartoons!” We all know it: more and more Chinese kids love American and Japanese food and movies. Some people worry that young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring（忽视）Chinese culture and, instead, buying Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating western holidays.

Foreign books and soap operas are good, but Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can never have the meaning for Chinese that the Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with the Mid-Autumn Festival. China has lots of cool things in its culture: calligraphy, Beijing Opera, quick meals on the streets. And let’s not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best: its friendliness. Not all countries are as warm as China.

It’s good to enjoy other cultures and learn from them, but they can never replace your own culture. It’s good to look on the other side of the fence, but make sure you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn’t always greener.

Although some people become worried about that, I don’t think they should. Will we get more powerful without learning from other countries? Will Chinese people live more happily without American fast food? Besides, it’s fun to learn about different cultures. Chinese kids can learn about other cultures and have fun, but they also need to learn more about their own culture. Be proud of Chinese culture and of being Chinese!

When I was a kid, the very thing that aroused my interest about New Year's Eve was trying to stay wake until midnight. My parents didn't force me to go to bed early. However, I usually fell asleep before the New Year arrives. It wasn't until my 10th birthday when I could stay up late but was able to cheer with the rest of the family. I woke up happily next morning. When asking if I wanted to make a New Year's wish, I said I would try to fight less with my brother. Unfortunately, the wish was lasted only until dinner time. The reason was that my brother and me got into an argue about who would set the table.
