But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.

　　In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher’s examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they don’t forget when they grow up.” says the teacher.

　　24. What can we learn about the Character Hero?

　　A. It’s open to people of all ages and all walks.

　　B. It’s the most-viewed TV programs in China.

　　C. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.

　　D. It draws great public attention across the country.

　　25. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?

　　A. Chinese people don’t refer to dictionaries very often.

　　B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.

　　C. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.
