As traditional Chinese art, paper cutting has a long history. The first and earliest paper cutting was found in China 1,500 years ago. But this traditional art is at risk of disappearing now. Luckily, Voyo Woo, a Chinese immigrant（移民）in America, is trying to bring this art back to life.
One Saturday in 2014, Ms Woo held a paper cutting show at a shopping center near Washington. She got much fun and peace doing it. She hoped more people would enjoy it.
Ms Woo began to study the art of paper cutting as a 14-year-old girl in her hometown in China. She said all the students at school had to learn paper cutting. But she had a deep love for it. So her teacher spent more time teaching her after class. Later, she won the second prize in a national painting and art competition. Ms Woo went to America after she finished collage in 2008. Soon after that, she took part in an activity to promote（宣传）Chinese paper cutting. And then she was invited to show the art in many important activities.“It is important to promote this art to Americans or anyone who is interested in it.Maybe it will make this art more popular.”Woo said.
From the art of paper cutting, people can know about Chinese cultural values, history and stories of people’s life. Ms Woo uses the art as a tool to show Chinese culture to people who know little about it. Chinese art is not only for Chinese, but also for people all over the world.

Save the world's trees
"When it comes to the Earth，there is no time to waste．"says the Earth Day Network．And that is right．Protecting our environment is very important，and World Earth Day was created in 1970to ask more people to protect our environment．On April 22，people around the world celebrate Earth Day．
Every year there is a special topic，and this year it is "Trees for the Earth"，so Earth Day this year will be all about planting trees．They are planning to plant 7.8billion trees within the next five years
That's a big goal，and you might wonder why trees are so important．Because they can take in carbon dioxide （CO2） and protect the air quality（质量）．CO2is a chemical in our atmosphere，but humans make too much of it．Each person makes about 2.3tons a year，which is bad for the environment．
Well guess what! Planting new trees is important because people cut down a huge number of trees．Last year，there were 3trillion trees in the world，about 139billion in China．But according to China Daily，the world's total number has been almost cut in half since human civilization（文明） began．That's because 15billion trees are cut down every year．
So we need to plant more to make up for（弥补）the ones we lost．One tree can take in 21.8kilograms of CO2 per year．And it's still one of the cheapest and best ways to get rid of CO2．
But don't forget that we can also help the environment by cutting down on how much energy（能源） or water we use every day．Every little thing helps．
根据短文内容，回答问题（66﹣69），英译汉（70）．
66．When do people around the world celebrate World Earth Day？
67．What is the topic of Earth Day？
68．Why are trees so important to the earth？
69．How much CO2 can two trees take in each year？
70．Put the sentence "It's still one of the cheapest and best ways to get rid of CO2．"into Chinese．

Have you ever dreamed about sending a letter to yourself or your friends in the future？While express mail（快递） is a fast way to send your letters，there is another type of mail appearing in China as a new business﹣future mail．
"The letter should be sent next Mother's Day and not a day earlier! "Lin Xiaofan，a college student in Shanghai，tells one of the companies offering the service．
Lin Xiaofan wrote the letter to her mother nearly a year earlier to express her love to her mother for next Mother's Day．
"Offering this service makes people slow down and lets them understand the meaning of‘time' in another way，"said Zheng Zhimin，manager at a "future mail" company．Zheng thinks "future mail" letters help remind us of care，friendship and love．
While "future mail" is becoming more and more popular，some people are wondering what will happen if the postal address changes or if the company goes broken before the letters arrive．
Zheng said customers are glad to sign a contract（签订合同） to make sure that they can be compensated if their letters are lost or damaged．
Most of the customers are college students and young white﹣collar（白领） workers．Psychologists （心理学家） said that young Chinese might have a new way to express their feelings through this service．Most people put their hopes and wishes in the letter so that they can experience the connection（联系） between the past and the present when they receive the letter．

A Bite of China
Are you an eating﹣lover？Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world？Then do you watch the popular program A Bite of China？It's a TV program on Chinese delicious food which has been produced by CCTV．Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with special festival food？Here are several traditional Chinese foods：
Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture．They are as much a part of Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with its candles lit in many western countries．Since noodles mean long life，it is considered very unlucky to cut it off
Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on the plate，in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness．In fact，at a party it is a tradition to serve the whole fish last，pointed towards the most valued guest．Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish，yu，sounds like the word for richness or plenty，and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come．
