1. (2024八下·茂名月考)  阅读理解

Have you ever heard of leaf painting? It has a history of more than 2,000 years in China. 

Ding Li is 27 years old. He comes from Xianning City, Hubei Province. He has spent many years learning leaf art and has opened his own workshop in his home town. 

Ding Li started to learn painting at the age of five. At age 12, he began to learn carving (雕刻). When he first found out about leaf painting at the age of thirteen, he fell in love with the art. 

Making leaf paintings is quite complicated. First, Ding Li needs to choose fine leaves from mountains in Yunnan. Then, he goes through over 60 steps (步骤) such as cutting and drying. It takes about two to three months to finish all of these steps. 

Ding Li has spent one year making the ancient painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival. He painted it on ten leaves. 

Before Ding Li makes each painting, he first learns its history to make his artwork more detailed (详细的). "I want to tell stories through my leaf paintings," he says.
