One programme, in Washington D. C., aims to teach woodworking to teens and young adults. It includes a woodshop, completely     1     (house) inside a truck, which acts as a kind of “classroom on wheels”.

Goldberg is an artist and wood sculptor. She had long dreamed of creating a mobile woodshop to assist students. That dream finally came true in 2020, when the city     2     (give) her a large grant for the programme.

The programme at Ballou     3     (call) a Pre Apprenticeship Carpentry (木工) Training Programme. The subjects and skills taught in the class are similar to those offered by a local carpenters’ union     4     also supports the programme.

The class textbook provides step-by-step instructions on how     5     (make) things like simple wooden birdhouses, to more complex wooden containers and objects. The truck is equipped with all the     6     (instruction) materials and tools necessary to operate as a complete mobile classroom. Mobile workstations are also available so students can work on projects outside the truck.

If students pass the class, they can seek to enter the union apprenticeship programme. Instead of     7     usual four year apprenticeship, graduates of the mobile woodshop can finish in     8     (little) time.

Building-related jobs are currently     9     high demand across the United States. Goldberg believes woodshop programmes can help prepare the next     10     (generate) of woodworkers.

Shadow theater is a unique art form in China. Thanks to the basic principle of light and shadow projected (投影) onto a screen, performers use puppets (玩偶)     1     (make) from animal skins to tell stories in a form of opera.

It     5     (experience) a long period of formation and now features unique performance methods. Its vocal (声乐的) tone and actual puppets draw     6     (inspire) from Kunqu Opera and Peking Opera.

In the past, the shadow theater     7     (perform) in the fields, with all performers hidden behind the scenes; some controlled the puppets and sang, while others managed the music.

The feeling is     6     (simple) wonderful!

For the next few months, this road is not above the surface    7    under the water. When the water level of Poyang Lake starts to go up, the road surface becomes unseen. However, drivers can still drive across the lake safely     8     watching the guardrails(防撞护栏) fixed on either side of the road. For thrill-seeking motorists, it’s like     9     (drive) an amphibious(水陆两栖的) super car. Then in a few days, the entire road     10     (flood) with the continuously rising water. A few months later, the road will reappear.
