My grandmother is over 90 years old. But she is very healthy. She is also good 4 paper-cutting. She has learned paper-cutting5 she was very young. Her paper-cutting is always6 welcomed by people. Every Spring Festival, she buys paper in advance(提前).She prefers using7 paper, because she thinks the paper in the area where she lives has a better quality(质量).The small animals she cuts, such as rabbits and dogs, are 8 . I always like helping her by her side. She can9 a paper-cut- ting in a short time. Many people can't wait to get her paper-cutting. My father would often polish scissors for her. That also helped my grandmother a lot.
Now, I also learn to make paper-cuttings. I hope that I can pass on the traditional art 10 . I want to be an expert in the area of paper-cutting like my grandmother.
Peter Chen is an old man who loves traditional Chinese culture. He showed a poem( 诗)by Xin Qiji in one of CCTV's programs and got popular among people. The performance was the perfect connection(联系) of ancient Chinese poetry culture and modern music, and the beauty of traditional Chinese culture was per- fectly shown, too. So the performance shocked people deeply.
The excellent traditional Chinese culture is not only the "root(根源)"and"soul(灵魂)"of the Chinese nation, but also our deepest cultural soft power. Many classic works are still encouraging us all the time.
Let excellent traditional Chinese culture live and warm up, and this is the key step to carry it forward well. The programs in CCTV are good examples. They make more and more Chinese people pay attention to the excellent traditional culture and show Chinese spiritual strength(精神力量)and cultural confidence.
To provide rich spiritual food for people, we should carry forward our excellent traditional culture, espe- cially the deep power of the traditional culture and national spirits. We should try harder to let the excellent traditional Chinese culture be handed down forever.
With the development of food culture, lots of Chinese food has been known by more and more foreigners, such as jiaozi. But do you know Shaxian Delicacies(沙县小吃)?How do you like it? It starts in Sha County(县)，Fujian Province. It is very popular and there are over 80,000restaurants all over the country. What's more, Shaxian Delicacies goes into 61 foreign countries and regions(地区).Foreigners like it very much.
When the first Shaxian Delicacies restaurant opened in New York, its dishes were sold out quickly. "It is surprising that the Shaxian Delicacies restaurant can be seen near my house in America. The smell of the food here is just the same as that I remember. It keeps the taste of home," said Ms. Zheng who was born in Fujian Province.
Besides the delicious food , customers also like the clean environment. The owner of the Shaxian Delica-cies in New York,Shao Binfang,a Chinese American,designed(设计)an open kitchen in her restaurant."Every day, the customers can see fresh vegetables,"Shao said.
It's really good news for Chinese people in other countries, and we hope there will be more kinds of Chi- nese restaurants, stores and things made in China all over the world.

"I can buy and eat whatever I want with Alipay( mobile payment ) on the phone, "said a Chinese student, adding that "even pancake sellers are using Alipay. "
The bikes themselves are not new, but the model of bike-sharing is a combination(结合)satellite navigation system(卫星导航系统)，mobile payment and other high technologies.

The umbrella is very common in our life. But .invention has brought us great changes. An old Chinese story said that it was invented by Luban's wife about 3,500 years ago.
Luban was a famous craftsman(手艺人)in ancient China. One day, his wife and he were walking by the West Lake when it suddenly started to rain . They were both wet all over they returned home.
"It's terrible to get wet in the rain," Luban's wife said."Can you make something to help peoplegetting wet?" Luban replied, "I can build some pavilions(亭子)along the West Lake. You can hide them when it rains. "
"But pavilions can't move. Is it possible to make a.pavilion which can always follow people when they walk?" Luban's wife said.
One day, Luban's wife some children playing in the rain. They were holding up largeover their heads in order not to get wet. She got a good idea from that. The next day , she fin- ished the first umbrella in ancient China successfully.
With the.of science and technology, there are more and more different kinds of umbrella. Thanks to the invention of the umbrella, our life hasmuch more convenient. And we can also learn that if we keep thinking, we can create something new.
