If you get stuck in a heavy rain, what would you do? You may be worried and want to find shelter immediately. But Song Dynasty poet Su Shi behaves 【小题1】(different) in Tune: Calming the Waves.

Tune: Calming the Waves is one of Su’s ci (词), 【小题2】 type of poetry that was popular during the Song Dynasty. The ci begins by telling the reader that 【小题3】(catch) in the sudden rain, Su has nothing but sandals and a cane. This shows that his journey is 【小题4】(challenge). Su 【小题5】(he) was no stranger to facing challenges. At that time, Su was charged 【小题6】 going against the emperor through his literary 【小题7】(work) and therefore was banished (贬谪) to Hangzhou. But even so, he always stayed positive. Just 【小题8】 he described in the ci, instead of being upset, Su chose to “slowly walk and chant at 【小题9】(easy)”. After the rain, he looked at “the dreary beaten track” again, and found everything was the same as it 【小题10】(be) before. A small rain shower is just a brief part of the day, just as his political setbacks are but a small part of his life.

In the state of Oaxaca. Mexico, you'l1 find the lively town of San Martin Tilcajete. The town is rooted in 【小题1】 (it) ancient Zapotec culture. The Zapotec people have been living in the area for 【小题2】 (century).

Look around, and you'll see 【小题3】 (amaze) colorful wooden animal carvings. These figures are called tonas, and creating them is a Zapotec tradition.

But slowly, Zapotec culture is dying. Young people are leaving Oaxaca 【小题4】 (find) work in larger cities. As 【小题5】 result, fewer people have the knowledge and skills 【小题6】 (need) to make tonas.

An organization called Jacobo y Maria Angeles hopes to change that. It teaches kids as young as five how to make tonas. The carvings take time and skill to create. They're made of soft wood from copal trees, 【小题7】grow in the area.

After school, kids come to Jacobo Maria Angeles to learn the craft 【小题8】 teachers, or masters. Some of the masters have been making tonas for 50 years. In these workshops, kids learn about the copal tree. They learn to “see” an animal in a piece of wood before it's carved. Then the kids 【小题9】 ( give) a tona to decorate(装饰).

Some of these students might one day become masters. Those who do will help protect Zapotec culture through teaching the young people the ancient craft of 【小题10】 (make) tonas.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Moon Festival or the Moon cake Festival. It has a long history 【小题1】 (date) back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907). It 【小题2】 (traditional) falls on the 15th day of the 【小题3】(eight) month of the lunar calendar. Since ancient times, customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival 【小题4】 (include) appreciating the moon, eating moon cakes 【小题5】 drinking wine. The full moon on Mid-Autumn night symbolizes family reunion 【小题6】 Chinese culture because the moon is round and the 【小题7】 (bright) of the year on this day. With the full moon hanging above in 【小题8】 sky, people 【小题9】 are far away from their 【小题10】(hometown) might miss families while looking at the beautiful moonlight.
