In my memory, playing the shuttlecock( B! f)game was one of my favorite things during my childhood. My hometown is in northeast China where the winter is very long-almost five to six months. Playing the shuttlecock outside was the main game in winter. Because I liked to play this kind of game very much, the shuttlecock became my good friend who was always around me in the long winter.

How the game was played

Actually, this game was very simple. In a word, it just was played by a person who kicked the shuttlecock with his or her foot (right foot or left foot)and kept it from dropping down on the ground as long as possible

Sometimes we were divided into two teams, and each team had one, two or more persons. Then we had a match to see which team could keep playing for a long time(usually we counted the number of the kicks). The team that could keep playing much longer would win.

How I made the shuttlecocks

It was easy to make them by hand. At that time, I really didn't know where I could buy a shuttlecock. Therefore, I always made them by hand and by myself(I didn't realize that they might be a kind of folk art, so I threw all of them away when I left the primary school)I used chicken feathers to make the shuttlecock. Particularly, I preferred to use rooster feathers because of their colors. Sometimes, I also used some thread, which was made of hemp, flax, or some similar things to make the shuttlecock, if I didn’t find chicken feathers.

For the small metal base, I usually chose two or three ancient Chinese coins with a hole in the middle. I just put the chicken feathers into the hole of the base, and then tied them together very well.

1.What can we know about the writer?

A. It is warm in her hometown in winter

B. She only played the shuttlecock in winter

C. The shuttlecock was one of her favorite games

D. With the shuttlecock. she needed no other friends

2.Why did the writer make shuttlecocks by herself?

A. She had no extra money

B. Nobody sold shuttlecocks

C. Shuttlecocks were easy to make but hard to buy

D. Shuttlecocks made by hand were considered a kind of folk art.

3.To the writer, the best material for making a shuttlecock was____

A. new coins　　 B. bird feathers　　 C. some thread　　 D. rooster feathers

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Shuttlecocks made of feather

B. How to play shuttlecocks

C. My shuttlecocks

D. My childhood
