19、erial in fireworks.The artist tried one end of the frame to the ground and attached a large weather balloon to the other end. The balloon was filled with helium 一 a gas that is lighter than air.

20、gher than the top of the Empire State Building.Guoqiang set fire to the bottom of the ladder，and the crackling（啪啪作响） flames raced skyward up the frame. The sculpture burned for two-and-a-half minutes before its flames began to die out from the bottom up.Dealing with explosive (炸药）is challenging, and

21、 conditions had to be perfect for Guoqiang to achieve his desired effect. He first attempted Sky Ladder in 1994，but bad weather prevented him from successfully completing the work. Guoqiang put Sky Ladder aside so that he could work on other projects, perhaps most famously the fireworks display that

22、 opened the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.Finally，after two more failed attempts，Guoqiang successfully sent his flaming ladder skyward last year.

DDCraft (手工艺）is becoming a heritage industry but a record of disappearing skills might just come in handy in the future.Mr. Lobb (of John Lob

27、b the bootmaker) mentioned that custom clothing and shoe-making were once the norm for everyone. How come，then，today a pair of normal Lobbs would set you back over £2,000? The price has obviously gone up because of lack of competition and higher wages，but would custom clothing once again be af

Do we just wave goodbye to these skills，or should we fight to maintain them?The disposable (一次性的）culture we “enjoy” today has existed in our life for almost two generations now. We like our products to be made by either a robot or invisible，cheap hands so tha

You just never know whether well need them in the future. Maybe its time to establish a worldwide network of volunteers to record，through the written words and videos，as many of these dying skills as possible. Actually, a rough look on YouTube fills me with hope that an army of willing volunteers is probably out there already and
