二、短篇阅读
When Xiong Chuanfa blows a lifelike tiger out of sugar in just minutes, kids look at him in surprise, thinking he is a magician.
Xiong has been blowing sugar figurines(吹糖人) for over twenty years. It is a Chinese traditional folk(民间) art with a history of over 600 years and has been listed as a state - level intangible(无形的) cultural heritage.
Every morning, Xiong prepares the sugar and drives to different markets in Nanchang. He heats(加热) the sugar, pulls off a little to make a ball and blows it into different shapes — a rabbit, a monkey, and even a Bing Dwen Dwen.
To draw young people closer to the art, he also stops by colleges. Students often wait in line for hands - on experience. Among them, Simon, a foreign student, couldn't help having a try. Though it looked easy, he found it difficult. Thanks to Xiong's help, Simon finally saw a horse slowly taking shape. “I just can't believe the traditional folk art can be kept so well here. Chinese culture should be spread around the world,” he said.
This art has been passed down for four generations in Xiong's family. His son often blows sugar balloons. “We will pass on the intangible heritage,” said Xiong.

A. Xiong and his folk art of sugar blows
