五、任务型阅读
Yang Xiuying, 74, sits at a wooden loom（织布机）. As her fingers pass the shuttle（梭子）back and forth through the cotton threads（线）, the old machine comes to life.
Ever since she was a young girl, Yang has been making indigo cloth（布）. “You can never buy this type of hand - made cloth at the market,” she says.
For the Dong（侗族）people in Guizhou, making indigo cloth has a long tradition. The skill has been passed down from mother to daughter over generations（一代）. Nearly every family makes its own cloth.
This traditional skill, unluckily, is now in danger. Young people show little interest in it. Some of them have moved to big cities to find better jobs.
Local officials want to save the tradition. They are trying to change young people's attitude（态度）towards it. One programme has set up several cloth - making factories in Guizhou. After learning how to make indigo cloth, young Dong people can now find jobs easily. They can also work closer to home.
The Dong people consider indigo cloth as important as rice. Many Dong women spend countless hours making the cloth. Every day, they rise and start working very early in the morning. To make the cloth shiny, it must be rubbed（搓）and beaten hard. The noise of cloth being beaten often wakes the whole village up.
Almost every Dong woman over 40 has a tub（桶）for indigo dye（染料）. The cloth has to be put in the dye for dozens of（几十个）rounds to gain the rich colour. The process of colouring usually takes two weeks.
Yang holds out her purple and wrinkled（有皱纹的）hands. “They say who has the darkest indigo marks on her hands makes the best cloth,” she says proudly.
