At his studio in Beijing, artist Zhang Xiaodong piles hundreds of sheets of thin top of one another until they form a complete image. When there is a slight air, the pages flow, giving life to the book     1     (it).This dragon scale bookbinding(装订),     2    (stretch)back more than 1,000 years to the Tang dynasty.

With few of the books     3     (survive)to the present day, the bookbinding technique was     4     the risk of disappearing before Zhang decided to research and bring it back to life. After half a year’s study, he finally learned     5     the ancient bookbinding worked.     6     (source)materials traditionally used in bookbinding Zhang also visited old towns and heritage (遗址)sites. Then came the     7     (crucial)-and difficult-part of the binding process: controlling the placement of each page. In order to create a complete picture, each sheet needs to be placed in     8     (exact)the right place. Zhang said that an error of just     9     hundredth of a centimeter can produce a huge, visible error when a book’s hundreds of pages are displayed together.

Zhang’s     10     (prepare)that went into producing this particular work shows the very modern way that the artist tries to understand the subject matter.

A new study shows that     1     two countries with the world’s     2     (large) populations are leading the increase in greening on land. The effect comes     3     (main) from ambitious tree     4     (plant) programs in China and agriculture in both countries.

China alone accounts     5     25% of the global increase in leaf area with only 6.6% of global vegetated (有植物的) area. The greening in China is from forests (42%) and croplands (32%).

China’s outsized     6     (contribute) comes in large part from programs intended           7     (protect) and expand forests, in an effort to reduce the effects of soil erosion (侵蚀), air pollution and climate change.

Taken all together, the greening of the planet represents an increase in leaf area of plants and trees equal to the area     8     is covered by all the Amazon rainforests.

Land area     9     (use) to grow crops is comparable in China and India and     10     (change) very little since the early 2000s. Yet the countries have greatly increased both their annual total green leaf area and their food production.
