category in China’s world of fine arts.Through the centuries Chinese characters have changed constantly
and are mainly divided into five categories today:the seal script(zhuan shu),official script(li shu),regular
script(kai shu),running script(xing shu)and cursive script(cao shu).
Calligraphy involves a great deal of theory and requires many skills.Among the most outstanding
calligraphers in ancient China were Wang Xizhi,Ouyang Xun,Yan Zhenqing,and Liu Gongquan,who are
known for pioneering their own styles.
In writing calligraphy,one will need a brush,paper,an ink stick and an ink stone,commonly referred to
as the “Four Treasures of the Study”.There are different types of brushes.White goat hair,black rabbit hair and yellow weasel hair brushes are the main ones.According to their function,brushes are classified into
three groups:hard,soft and medium.Brush sticks are usually made of bamboo,wood,or porcelain;ivory or
jade sticks are rare and precious.
The ink stick is a unique pigment used for Chinese traditional painting and calligraphy.The most famous
ink stick is hui mo(Anhui ink stick),made from pines that grow on Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province.Clean water is needed to grind the ink stick.Press the ink stick hard and rub it lightly,slowly and evenly
against the ink slab to make thick,liquid ink.
While paper comes in many varieties,Xuan paper, produced in Xuanzhou(today’s Anhui Province),is
considered the best for Chinese calligraphy.The paper is soft and fine textured,suitable for conveying the
artistic expression of both Chinese calligraphy and painting.With a good tensile strength and moth proof
quality,the paper can be preserved for a long time.
Ink stones or ink slabs have been classified into three categories:Duan,She and Tao.Features common
to all three are hardness and fineness.Although the stone is hard and fine,it is not dry or slippery.Using a
hard and smooth stone,liquid ink can be produced easily by rubbing the ink stick against the stone.
By handling the brush and ink skillfully and carefully,the artist can produce an infinite variety of
calligraphic styles and forms.
"fat little hands". Nor does he "sit well or firmly on the horse". He is said to be "undersized", with
"short legs" and a "round stomach". The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy"s description-it
seems not that far off from historical accounts but his choice of facts: other things that could be
said of the man are not said. We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander
in the body of a fat little Frenchman. Tolstoy"s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets
and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his nose-and that is the point.
It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character. And it turns out that,as
Tolstoy has it,Napoleon is a crazy man. In a scene in Book Three of War and Peace,the wars having
reached the critical year of 1812,Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar (沙皇) ,who has
come with peace terms. Napoleon is very angry:doesn"t he have more army? He,not the Tsar,is the
one to make the terms. He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped. "That is what you will have
gained by engaging me in the war!" he shouts. And then, Tolstoy writes,Napoleon "walked silently
several times up and down the room,his fat shoulders moving quickly".
Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds,Napoleon invites the shaken Russian
to dinner."He raised his hand to the Russian"s... face," Tolstoy writes,and "taking him by the ear pulled
it gently. . . ". To have one"-s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered thegreatest honor and mark
of favor at the French court."Well,well,why don"t you say anything?" said he,as if it was ridiculous in his
presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon.
Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own.
B. based on the Russian history
C. based on his selection of facts
D. not related to historical details
B. the Tsar"s peace terms were hard to accept
C. the Russians stopped his military movement
D. he didn"t have any more army to fight with
B. To show agreement with him
C. To say something about the Tsar.
D. To express his admiration.
B. fond of showing off his iron will
C. determined in destroying all of Europe
D. crazy for power and respect
B. A writer may write about a hero in his own way.
C. A writer may not be responsible for what he writes.
D. A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings.
even for those who scoff (嘲笑) at superstition (迷信), Chinese New Year customs can bring a welcome sense of renewal to a seemingly endless winter.
1. Clean Your House
The Chinese make sure to sweep every corner of a room to rid their homes ghosts and bad luck
associated with the
old year. If negative spirits don"t hide in your living room, chances are a layer of dustand grime (污垢) from dry heat and slushy (有泥有雪的) boots does. Get a jump on your spring
cleaning while the weather outside"s still frightful enough to keep you st
uck indoors2. Get a Mini Makeover
In China, it"s customary to get a haircut and new clothes for the new year. The idea is that with a new
look, bad spirits won"t recognize a person and follow them into the new year.
3. Make Apologies
Carrying grudges (怨恨) into the new year is a no-go according to Chinese tradition, so differences
with family, friends, and associates must be settled before New Year"s Eve. If your shoulders are
sagging(向下凹,下陷) from the weight of a grudge or two, take the initiative to resolve them.
4. Pay Off Your Debts
Like grudges, old debts are a bad omen (预兆) for a new year. No matter which calendar you follow,
there"s no time like the present to settle any outstanding accounts and repay loans from friends and
relatives.
5. Spend Time With Your Family
In China, offices and stores close down for Chinese New Year and people spend days travelling to
their hometowns to reconnect with family, feast, and simply enjoy the company of their loved ones.
B. bring happiness to Chinese people
C. imply the ending of the winter
D. are neglected by many people

used steam engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there
were no units for measuring power.
Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit
one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.
He discovered that a horse could lift a 3,300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His
engine could lift a 3,300 pound weight 100 feet in one minute.
Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten-horsepower engine.

Charles Wilson Peale"s George Washington at Princeton is on view(展览) at the museum which
was lent from a private collection. This visually striking and finely made life-size portrait(肖像)records
Washington"s 6-foot-2-inch figure in a pose highlighting strength, composure(沉着), and elegance
(高雅). It is put up in a room neighboring to the Powel House parlor(客厅), a period room from one
of Philadelphia"s greatest eighteenth-century private homes, where Washington was frequently
entertained by his friends, Samuel and Elizabeth Powel. Both spaces contain important examples
of furniture by Philadelphia"s finest craftsmen, such as Thomas Affleck and Aitken. Among these is
a side chair specially ordered by the Washingtons when living in Philadelphia.
Painted in Philadelphia in 1779, Peal"s painting was immediately sent to Europe to promote
Washington"s reputation as a leader and the cause of the American Revolution, then in progress. Later,
during Europe"s Napoleonic Wars, a Spanish duke(公爵) with strong sympathies with American
Revolution owned the picture. At that time he added the complicated carved caption(标题) to it,
which describes Washington as "a liberator of his country who abandoned absolute power."
