1、 The paper-cutting in Yangzhou, with a history of over 2,500 years, can date back to the Sui Dynasty, making Yangzhou one of the places where paper-cutting first became popular.
In the Sui Dynasty, 1. people in Yangzhou were used to celebrating festivals by cutting colorful paper or silk. The story goes that during the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang came to Yangzhou three times. In winter, the flowers and trees in the garden became dry and weak.2. 皇帝建议年轻女子把丝绸剪成花，叶子和草 and use them to make the trees and pools look more beautiful. Since then, “colorful cutting” has been a popular decoration art in Yangzhou.
In the Tang Dynasty, 3. as paper-making was highly developed, tons of fine paper was produced. This helped the development of the paper-cutting art. At that time, people in Yangzhou had the custom of welcoming spring with paper-cutting. 4. They would cut paper into different shapes of flowers, insects, coins and so on when spring comes.
In the Qing Dynasty, thanks to the economy prosperity(经济繁荣), people in Yangzhou became interested in wearing fine clothing, especially embroidered( 刺绣的) clothing. The embroidery patterns were based on paper-cutting, so many people made their living by the art of paper-cutting. 5. 据说，一个叫做宝俊的人因其出色的剪纸技艺而闻名。 He won a high reputation(名声) as Magic Scissors.
After the founding of PRC, Chinese government realized the importance of paper-cutting. In 2007, China Paper-cuts Museum opened to the public in Yangzhou. Since then, paper-cutting in Yangzhou has been greatly improved.

24、My dad lost his job a few years ago. At the time, I thought it didn’t matter much, but I was wrong. That event changed my life.
Dad said we had to make some changes. Mom explained that I would have to stop taking dance lessons for a while. My brother Kenny couldn’t go to the summer camp, either. And we would have to save some money by cutting out unnecessary things.
The next few months we all helped out. Mom went back to work full-time. We had to cut out going to the movies. Kenny got a part-time job to make money in his free time. He even studied harder in college and got a scholarship (奖学金). As a middle school student, I couldn’t find a part-time job like my brother. I wanted to help, so I took out all the money I had saved to help our family pull through. As my mom was busy doing the job, I took on the responsibility of doing housework. Though it was hard for us, no one gave up and we encouraged each other.
After a few months, Dad found a job in the city Dad thanked us for helping out. He said, “We all came together as a family.”
Later on, I thought about what Dad said and realized he was right. We were all upset about giving things up, but we did what we could to help each other. Even though it was bad that my dad lost his job, it showed me what a family is all about.

26、
Huw Thomas fell in love with Megan. But then an accident changed his life, and he had to move to Canada. Megan promised to write to him. But Huw never heard from her…until one day a letter arrived.
He saw the letter came from where he and his father had lived in their early years. Who was writing to him? He turned the envelope（信封）over in his hands several times. Then he took out the letter and read:
Dear Huw,
I don't know if this letter will reach you, and I don't really know why I'm writing to you after all these years, but…
Huw turned to the end of the letter and saw:
Best wishes
Megan
He couldn't believe it. He turned back to the first words of the letter and read:
…after all these years, but I've just found your letters to me from Canada. Believe me, this was the first time I'd read them and they made me cry, even after 50 years I found them in a box of my father's papers. They were never opened.
Huw, I never knew that you'd written to me. I thought your new life in Canada had made you forget me.
Now I realize（明白）that my father kept your letters. I can still remember asking him if there was any letter for me, and he always said “_____________, my girl. I told you he was no good.” Finally, after about a year, I believed him.
But why did he keep the letters? Do you think he wanted me to find them when it was too late? Anyway, he's dead now, so I can't ask him. All I can say is I'm sorry. Sorry for what my father did, sorry that you never heard from me and sorry for…everything.
I hope that at least this letter reaches you. Of course, I'll understand if you don't want to write back to me, but if you do. I am still Megan Jenkins, and I still live at the same address.
Best wishes,
Megan
Huw read the letter again. Everything with Megan came back to him. He had never forgotten her. He couldn't. Every day he looked at her face on the wall. He had a drawing of her. It had traveled everywhere with him. But to hear from her again…"Are you all right, Dad?" asked Mike, coming into the room.
