1. (2024九下·黄岩开学考)  阅读理解

①Chinese calligraphy (书法) was once considered an important part of the school curriculum (课程). However, for many reasons, some people think it's less important to teach this art form at school now. In this article, I will look at both the pros and cons of learning Chinese calligraphy at school.

②One reason why Chinese calligraphy should be learned at school is that it is an important form of culture expression. Clearly, it is not just about practicing handwriting. It is also about connecting with a traditional Chinese art form. When students learn this art in class, they will become more interested in the works of famous Chinese artists.

③Another reason is that it may help students to develop patience. At the times of high technology, students are getting less patient for traditional classroom learning. By introducing Chinese calligraphy into the classroom, students' patience can be improved because they have to practice focusing on each brush movement.

④    ▲    . However, others think there are some disadvantages. The first one is that it has little to do with students' life. Living in a modern age, pens and paper will lose their importance by and by. So, wouldn't it be a backward step if students were asked to spend their valuable time at school learning Chinese calligraphy?

⑤The second argument against learning Chinese calligraphy at school is that it takes a long time to master. The time at school is better spent on more important subjects. After all, learning Chinese calligraphy can always be done as an after-school activity if students are really interested in it.

⑥In my opinion, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. This special art form is one of China's national treasures, It also helps to enrich students' life and improve their sense of beauty. So without doubt, it is worth being included in the school curriculum.
