Shu embroidery is the oldest of the four.People sold it to other countries through the South Silk Road.It is known for its smooth needlework and beautiful colors.Up till now，Shu Embroidery has formed its own style：smooth，bright and tidy.This art form is also deeply influenced by the geographical environment，customs and cultures.The Shu Embroidery is the symbol of the creativity of the Sichuan people for its beautiful designs and great needlework.
Embroidery takes time and patience.It might take a whole day to finish just 10 cm of embroidery.By the 1970s，Sichuan had as many as 5，000 embroiderers.But since modern machines can make cheaper embroidery products today，fewer people buy hand-made Shu embroidery products.There are also very few young embroiderers，so the skill is in danger of dying out.To protect it，Shu embroidery was added to China's intangible cultural heritage list（非物质文化遗产名录）in 2006.

6．（10分）It is common that students take pictures of teachers' blackboard--writing using their phones these days.This starts a discussion on whether taking a picture can take the place of taking notes.
Some students can't read their own handwriting.①So it's best to take a picture of teachers' writing so that they can understand the notes.Some take pictures of notes because they know the phone is a safe place for notes.They may lose paper，but they may not lose their phones.Some take photos because they want to record exact words that have been written on the blackboard.
②It's really convenient to take notes by using phones，but can a picture replace note-taking？Can the two be the same？
Before the wide use of phones，taking notes gave students a lot in the past.It is a method which has a long history.Taking notes is a traditional way to help make preparations for getting knowledge.And it isn't only recording necessary information.It requires students to ask questions about what they don't know.The act of writing information down forces the brain to begin to remember.
③我不确定哪个更好。For now，I allow students to take notes either by hand or by taking photos—because I don't think the method is important，the important thing is that they take notes.
