• 2．Chinese people love food made of flour.In the hands of skilled artisans（手藝人），flour is made into lovely models of people or animals to be enjoyed and played with，which brings a unique kind of pleasure.This art form is called dough figurine（面塑）.Among the various art styles of dough figurines，Beijing's Dough Figurine Lang is a unique folk art，which is filled with the rich history and customs of the capital city.In 2008，it was included in the list of national intangible（非物質的） cultural heritage.
     It was created by Lang Shao'an.Most of the dough figurines are animals and characters from legends，historical stories，and local operas.The finished product is either put at the end of a thin stick or on a table for display.Some are mostly for children to eat or play with，with simple forms and vivid decorations，while some are fine pieces of artwork for display only.For this reason，during the making process they are often mixed with additives（添加劑）to better preserve the finished products.
     Lang Jiaziyu，born in 1995，is the third-generation inheritor （繼承人） of Dough Figurine Lang.When he was 15，he created Beijing Olympic Mascot（吉祥物） shaped dough figurines which were highly praised.He looks a bit more fashionable than other folk artisans.In his skilled hands，pop culture icons（偶像） are popular with young people.
     Like most of the other intangible cultural heritage handicrafts in China，Dough Figurine Lang does not get as much attention from the public.Few young people are willing to take the time to master a skill that does not make money，which has led to a decline in the number of those who are devoted to the handicraft.Good handicrafts need the devotion of artisans from one generation to another.

  A．It reflects Beijing's culture.

• 3．Now too much CO₂ makes the Earth warmer and warmer，and brings bad effect to people.To save our Earth，a new lifestyle called low-carbon life becomes popular.Low carbon means low energy and no waste.It is necessary for everybody to learn to live a low-carbon life.
     To live a low-carbon life，we'd better save as much energy as we can.For example，turn off the lights and TV when you don't use them，use cold water to wash clothes or dishes；take a short shower and try to take a cold one when the weather gets warm；don't do the cooking with electricity.
