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.

2 . Given the crowds of visitors and many attractions at the Disney parks, it's easy to get lost. Thankfully, you will always find a worker to point you in the right direction. When you do, you just might start to notice something unique about their body language—and it's just one of the many secrets Disney employees won't tell you.

Cast members, as park employees are called, are taught in their training to always point with two fingers instead of one. The first reason for this is that pointing with just the one index finger(食指), as most Americans do, is considered impolite in some cultures and countries. The Disney parks have always attracted many international visitors, so the friendlier two-finger gesture became the norm among employees, in an effort to be sensitive and welcoming to every person. Employees have even affectionately named it "the Disney point”. Michaela Paris, a former Disney employee, said the Disney point is a sign of respect.

"Disney receives plenty of foreign travelers to their parks. The typical single finger point is a symbol of disrespect and has a negative(负面的) meaning in many cultures. Therefore, Disney created 'the Disney point' to accommodate all of their guests, " Paris said.

Other sources say this way of pointing is related to Disney himself. According to the Huffington Post, it's actually how Walt Disney himself used to point things out to visitors, because he usually had a cigarette balanced between the two fingers. You won't find cast members today smoking a cigarette—there's no smoking allowed for anyone, employees or guests, once you are inside the entrances at Disney parks—but the tradition of pointing with two fingers still stands.

Keep an eye out for the statue of Walt and Mickey doing "the Disney point" next time you're at Disney World. Meanwhile don't miss other such rules that all Disney employees must follow.
