This month in Art Around the World, Fiona Hitchens visits China
My first introduction to Chinese art was an early morning walk in Beihai Park in Beijing. There, I saw elderly people writing on the pavement with paintbrushes which were a metre long! I soon learned that they were doing water calligraphy − writing in water. The words have meanings, but they are also art. The calligraphy quickly disappears, of course. But tomorrow, the old people will be back.
Temporary art like this is very popular in China. Every winter, Harbin, in northern China, is visited by sculptors and tourists from around the world. They come for the Harbin Ice Festival, when the city has huge sculptures made out of ice. The sculptures are bigger than houses, and they take weeks to make. Harbin’s freezing winter temperatures make it very difficult for the artists to work outside. But the weather also means that the sculptures will be protected until the spring.
A few days later in Tibet, western China, I watched artists make sand paintings. The pictures are full of symbols, and they have important religious meanings for Tibetan people. They look amazing, but the paintings are soon destroyed by the artists who make them. It is important for Tibetan culture to make these paintings, then have them destroyed.
Of course, not all Chinese art is temporary − some of it has been around for a very long time! Near the city of Xi’an, I visited the amazing terracotta warriors, or soldiers. In 200 BCE, 8,000 statues of soldiers were made by sculptors out of a material called terracotta. They are as big as real people and they all have different faces. An important king had the statues produced to protect his body after he died. They stayed under the ground with the dead king for over 2,000 years, until they were discovered by a farmer in 1974.
At the China Art Museum, in Shanghai, I saw wonderful 16th-century Chinese paintings of tall mountains, trees and cliffs. The paintings were beautiful, but they didn’t look very realistic to me at the time. ‘Mountains aren’t like that,’ I thought. But that was before the last stop on my trip: the mountains of Zhangjiajie National Park.
These mountains were used by film director James Cameron in his sci-fi film Avatar because they look like something from another planet. On my last weekend in China, I took a cable car up into the mountains there. Trees grew on the sides of hundred-metre cliffs, and strange towers of rock appeared out of the morning fog. It looked just like the pictures in the China Art Museum. For a moment, I felt like I was inside a Chinese painting!

Read an article about the giant concrete arrows that have been found in the USA.
Match sentences A–G with gap 1.
Follow the arrow
If you have even been inside the cockpit of a plane, you will have noticed the large number of instruments on the walls and ceiling around the pilot’s seat. 1___ Unlike car drivers, pilots do not have the luxury of signs and arrows telling them where to go. Instead, they rely on sophisticated GPS systems. So how were pilots able to find their way in the days before radio and satellite communication?
In the USA, the problem of navigation first arose when the airmail postal service was introduced in 1911. In the beginning, huge bonfires were lit to show pilots where to land in the dark. Later, a more practical solution was found: the construction of giant concrete arrows on the ground. 2___ To enable pilots to see them at night, a steel tower with lights was built in the middle. The top light turned around to attract the pilot’s attention, and two others lit up the arrow and flashed a code to identify its location.
The first of these arrows was laid in 1924, and by 1929, there were around 1,500 of them. 3___ The arrows were spaced about 16 km apart and were an important part of the Transcontinental Airway System. But by the 1940s, new navigation techniques were being discovered and soon, the arrows and their towers were no longer needed. They were gradually abandoned and some of them were removed completely.
However, not all of the arrows have disappeared. 4___ Some are still visible in the empty areas of other states such as Utah, Wyoming and Indiana. Yet, either because of their size or due to their bad condition, the arrows are not easy to find. In many cases, if you want to see one, it is a question of knowing where to look.
Which is where retired couple Brian and Charlotte Smith can help. The two are devoted fans of the arrows and spend much of their time hunting them down. 5___ Once they find an arrow, they map its location, photograph it and upload the details onto their website. Their aim is to preserve the memory of these historical structures and prevent them from being lost forever.

SECONDARY SCHOOL SURVIVAL GUIDE
‘Your secondary school years are the best years of your life,’ someone will say to you just as you’re swamped with homework or stressing out over the next test or being bullied by a mean kid. The truth is that secondary school, for most people, is a time filled with what seems to be an endless series of problems. 1 ___ You feel overwhelmed.
You’ve got to get good marks in maths. You’ve got to pass your exams. You’ve got to finish your homework. You’ve got to think about what you want to be at a time when you’re still trying to figure out who you are. 2____ For them, failure is not an option. And to top it all off there’s the peer pressure. You need to fit in but just can’t figure out whether you belong to the ‘sporty group’, the ‘brainy group’, or any group at all. You just want to be accepted for who you are but sometimes get carried away trying too hard to be liked.
Choose your friends carefully as they will play a big role in helping you get through secondary school. Class group projects are a great way to meet new people whereas school clubs will help you to find others who share the same interests as you. Find someone who seems nice and approachable and just say ‘hi’ or pay them a compliment when you have the opportunity to do so. 3 ___We all need someone to lean on and friends are like life-jackets when the ship is sinking.
On some days, you’ll lose control of the ship. 4 ____ It’s during those low points in your life when you experience the greatest failures both academically and socially that you should remember that one thing is always guaranteed in life – CHANGE! The world moves on as it always has and nothing stays the same.
You’ll probably come out of secondary school a different person from the one that entered. 5 ___ Change is a huge part of life and can be exciting and brilliant as you watch your classmates begin to show the signs of the adults they will become.
Someday you’ll look back on the fights between friends, the homework you hated and the fun times you had and you’ll realise that the ‘worst’ and most terrifying years of your life really weren’t so bad. There was pleasure as well as pain, there was wisdom as well as stupidity, there was laughter as well as tears and along with the ‘worst’ came the ‘best.’ 6 ____ So hang in there, kiddo, and make the most of it.
a. A kind word is always appreciated during high school.
b. You may not have enjoyed every moment, but you will miss it.
c. ‘Can things get any worse than this?’ you wonder.
d. The waters will be stormy and you’ll feel as though you won’t survive.
e. Your parents and teachers have secondary expectations.
f. And then, before you know it, the high school years will end.
g. When you leave, you’ll definitely be smarter and stronger and will have a clearer idea of what you want to do with your life.

Read the article from which some sentences have been taken out. Choose the correct sentences A–Е to fill the gaps.
In this second decade of the 21st century, with so many advances in technology, it is not surprising that people are living much longer than they used to. (1) ___ So why are we becoming less healthy in an age when the opposite would be expected?
It is certainly not because of a lack of fitness and nutritional advice or facilities. (2) ___ Others jog regularly or even use computer systems such as Wii Fit™ to exercise in their own homes. We can read advice on diet and exercise in every magazine, and whole TV programmes are dedicated to the subject of what we should or shouldn’t eat. So, where are we going wrong?
The painful truth is that no advice is going to be enough to compensate for the huge changes in lifestyle that we have experienced over the last hundred years. Whereas a hundred years ago most people had to walk if they wanted to go anywhere, these days the majority of us drive or take the train or even taxis. (3) ___ At work, we are generally sitting in front of a computer all day long, even emailing people in the same office rather than walking across to talk to them. At home, labour-saving devices have dramatically cut down the amount of exercise we do. Washing machines, dishwashers, etc., all save valuable time and energy. (4) ___ Unfortunately, they have also reduced the amount of exercise we get.
Of course, a significant problem today is food: the amount and what we put into our mouths every day. (5) ___ The result of this is ready meals, junk food and fast food. All of these are packed with ingredients that are tasty and satisfying, but not good for our weight or overall health. It doesn’t help that we are encouraged to eat this type of food by manufacturers, advertisers and restaurant chains all over the world.
Experts say that to improve our health, children need to learn about the importance of diet and exercise at an early age. (6) ___ If they have been given the wrong food from birth, they develop habits that are difficult to change. Perhaps the people who should be targeted are the pregnant mothers. After all, the first few years of a child’s life are completely in their hands. Surely it’s better to educate the parents of newborns than to have to give their children operations later in life to fight their obesity?
