I am fully convinced that you must have heard about Chinese paper-cutting, haven’t you? Paper-cutting is     1     important art form in China. Paper-cuts were used for many purposes, and everything can become the theme of paper-cuts, from people to the things that can be     2     in everyday life such as birds, flowers and animals.

Each paper-cut brings out the personal     3     of the writer. People express traditional culture or     4    own feelings with different styles of paper-cuts. For example,     5     someone marries, we put up some red paper-cuts     6     the wall, dressing table or other furniture to express our best wishes. It is easy to learn paper-cutting     7     very difficult to make it perfect. We need a long-time practice to learn how to     8     the scissors (剪刀) and how to paint. Moreover, we     9     need to learn some cutting skills.

From history until now, in many parts of China, paper-cutting skill     10     become necessary for women and a symbol of a clever mind.
