The closing ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics drew the two-week competition to an end. At the ceremony, willow twigs (柳条), a traditional Chinese farewell gift     1     (exchange) between friends when parting, were adopted to express China's wishes to the athletes and the world.

In Chinese, the pinyin for the word “willow”     2     (pronounce) the same as the word for “stay”. In ancient China, when friends were separating, they would pick a willow twig and give it     3     the person who was leaving to express their wish for him/her to stay.

The closing ceremony gave life to the tradition in the     4     (present) — “Moment of Remembrance”. Eighty dancers held willow twig lights and walked     5     (slow) to the center of the stadium to Farewell Song. Meanwhile, an ancient painting of weeping willows appeared on the LED screen, and 365 people appeared. They     6     (carry) glowing (发光的) “willow twigs” and walked to the center of the screen.

Songbie or Farewell Song was written in 1915 and has become popular since then. Well suited to this touching send-off performance,     7     song was the final choice after more than 20 attempts     8     (find) what resonated (引起共鸣) the most with the closure of the Games.

“Different     9     (style) of music had been created for the Games, but in Director Zhang Yimou’s view, it was more appropriate to choose music     10     is familiar to everyone,” Huang Hui, the program director, said.

Like most of the villagers, Luo used to be a migrant worker in China’s coastal cities. To spend more time with her family, she     1    (return) to Haima village in 2012 and opened a batik and embroidery (刺绣) store.

Though many local women know how to make batiks and embroideries, few of them make     2     living from it and most work as migrant workers. To help these women stay in     3    (they)hometown, Luo decided to open a cooperative and hire more people to industrialize Miao batiks and embroideries.

At first, none of the villagers trusted Luo because no one thought it was possible     4    (make)money from batiks and embroideries. Luo     5    (eventual)got an order from a large e-commerce company,     6     helped her earn 400,000 yuan. The deal persuaded many people to join Luo’s cooperative.

To innovate and improve batik and embroidery techniques, Luo offered free     7    (train) to embroiderers. The cooperative’s     8    （product)have become more and more popular throughout the country. In the future, the cooperative will continue to improve its product design by introducing     9    (profession)teams and turn Haima village’s Miao embroideries     10     cultural and creative products combining tradition and fashion.
