When you travel in China, you can often see some very special puppets (木偶) in many gift shops. They are thin, colorful, made of animal skin (皮) and in all kinds of shapes. They are traditional Chinese shadow puppets.

The Chinese shadow puppet play (皮影戏) is an old art. It's also called "the business of the five", because a shadow puppet play group is usually made up of five people. One moves the puppets, one sings and the other three play instruments.

How did this art start? There is a story behind it. It is said that more than 2 000 years ago, the wife of Emperor Wu of Han died from illness. The emperor was very sad.

He put sticks (技条) on the puppet's hands and feet to make it easy to move.

When night came, he put up a curtain (帘), lit a candle, and invited the emperor to sit before the curtain. Li moved the puppet from behind the curtain. The emperor felt like he was seeing his wife again and was very happy. After that the shadow puppet play became the emperor's favorite pastime.

Taking a bus or subway in the United States, you can often see people reading books on their way to school or work. But in China, I hardly ever see people reading during their free time.

Are people’s attitudes (态度) toward reading different here?　 Not really. Data (数据) from Amazon China in December 2017 show that Chinese people still read a lot. They just like e-books better than traditional books.

However, other data show that reading is still more popular in the US than in China. Is there a reason for this difference? I’m not sure. What I do know is that China has a rich history of literature from great Chinese literature like Romance of the Three Kingdoms (《三国演义》) to the modern science-fiction epic The Three-Body Problem (《 三 体 》). Chinese writers have created many wonderful written works.

Perhaps the difference starts from childhood. Reading textbooks and doing homework can make you feel quite tired. By the time you finish it, you might not feel like reading for fun. Chinese students have to read more and do more homework than US students. So that's why they might not want to read much in their free time.

But learning to love reading can be great. Reading can open doors to places, people and ideas that you cannot think of. Even just a small book has the magic to change your own personal thoughts and attitudes. Where will your next book take you?

1.Americans often 　　　　　 when they take a bus or subway.

A.work B.read C.sleep

2.The difference in reading between China and the US may start when 　　　　　　 .

A.they are children B.they are teenagers C.they are old enough

3.Why don't Chinese students want to read a lot in their free time?

A.Because the great Chinese literature is difficult to understand.

B.Because they spend too much time on textbooks and homework.

C.Because they might feel like reading textbooks for fun.

4.We can learn 　　　　　　 in the last paragraph.

A.reading makes a full man

B.reading is the key to traveling

C.reading teaches you to play magic

5.What can you infer from the passage?

A.Chinese students are busier with schoolwork than American students.

B.Amazon China is a famous book that Chinese people read a lot.

C.Traditional books are more popular among Chinese people.
