二、阅读理解

①Do you wear clothes with colourful patterns(图案)? People usually use machines to make these patterns in modern times. But how did people in old times make them?
②People in old times used tie-dye(扎染). Tie-dye is a very old way of dyeing clothes in China—it's more than 1,000 years old! It is popular in Yunnan. People first put cloth(布料) into the blue dye(染料). Some parts of the cloth become blue, but other parts have a lighter colour. When you open out the cloth, you'll see beautiful patterns.
③Now, the tie-dye skill is China's national intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产). Anning in Yunnan is famous for tie-dye.
④Yang Cheng got the old skills from his mother in the 1980s. At the same time, he studied tie-dye in other countries, such as Japan, India and France. It once took Yang two years to make two tie-dyed dresses! He used many skills of Anning tie-dye. Some patterns on the dresses are traditional, while some are modern. He used images of Dianchi Lake and eight popular flowers in Yunnan. “I want to put all the beautiful things into tie-dye works,” he said.
⑤Now Yang is still dyeing and teaches his daughter tie-dye. “We have the duty to pass down the skill to younger generations,” Yang says. Yang now teaches tie-dye in schools, communities, and companies. More than 100,000 people learn from him.
⑥Some worry that tie-dye may die out because using machines is fast and cheap. But Yang says, “Machines can't take the place of our creative hands.”
