4．Chinese painting is one of the oldest forms of painting in the world.Chinese artists first began painting over two thousand years ago and painters in China are still using many of the same methods today.
Chinese painters often paint natural scenes，animals or people.Buildings are seldom included，unless they make up a small part of a natural scene.
There are two kinds of traditional Chinese paintings.The first is the gongbi style.This style of painting takes a lot of time to make，as everything is painted in great detail.This style often uses a lot of colour as well.Long ago，most professional painters in China used the gongbi style.
The second style of Chinese painting is the ink-wash painting（水墨畫）.Ink-wash paintings are done very quickly，and may not have much colour.Ink-wash painting also have less details，because the painter is trying to get across the impression of the scene with just a few brush strokes（筆畫）.Long ago，most ink-wash artists did not work as painters，but painted as a hobby.However，a good ink-wash artist could still become famous.
（1）How long is the history of the Chinese painting？

5．Three men have lunch together.After the lunch is over，the men disagree on who should pay for the food.So，like little boys，they play a game called rock-paper-scissors.Around the world，when people want to decide on something or someone，they play this fun game.
In this game，a closed hand means a rock，an open hand means a piece of paper，and a hand with two fingers out means scissors.We all know how this is played.Peter can cover a rock，so rock loses to paper；scissors will break if they try to cut a rock，so scissors lose to rock；and，scissors can cut paper，so paper loses to scissors.
It seems that everyone plays this game，but many people do not know where it came from.
People first started playing a game like rock-paper-scissors in ancient China.During the Han Dynasty，people played a game called shoushiling（手勢(shì)令）.In this game，people used hand gestures like in the modern rock-paper-scissors game，but their gestures meant different kinds of animals.In the 17th century，this game was brought to Japan.The modern form of rock-paper-scissors was developed in Japan in the late 19th century.From Japan，it became known in Western countries，and even today many people think that it is a Japanese game.
（1）In the rock-paper-scissors game，means scissors.
A．a(chǎn) closed hand
B．a(chǎn) hand with two fingers out
C．a(chǎn)n open hand
D．a(chǎn) hand with one finger out
（2）Why do scissors lose to rock，according to the article？
A．Because rock is sharper than scissors.
B．Because scissors are smaller than rock.
C．Because scissors are lighter than rock.
D．Because scissors will break if they try to cut a rock.
（3）In the Han Dynasty game shoushiling，people's hand gestures meant.
A．different kinds of animals
B．different kinds of flowers
C．different Chinese characters
D．the same as those in the rock-paper-scissors game

A．It's about the history of the rock-paper-scissor game.
B．It tells us how to play the rock-paper-scissor game.
