21、“Time to wake up!” I pull the pillow over my head. It isn’t time to wake up already, is it?
“Come on, get out of bed,” says Dad. “I need your sheets.” Oh, right. It’s Saturday. Laundry day. Dad has a new idea. He doesn’t use the dryer anymore, at least in summer. Instead, I have to hang all the laundry on a clothesline in the backyard. It seems like a lot of work. And it means I can’t sleep in on Saturday.
Dad gets the washing started early. That way all the clothes can dry by the end of the day. “Up,” says Dad as he starts pulling the sheets off the bed. I drop off the bed onto the floor. “Go hang these!” Dad drops a wet sheet on me. It’s so cold! What a way to wake up!
After I hang up the sheet, I come inside and find Dad in the kitchen. He’s made pancakes. Dad sits down across from me. “Why so sad?” “Stupid laundry,” I said. “It takes forever!” “Well, you know we have to do laundry, right?” “Yup.” “And you realize that I collect the laundry, wash it, take it off the line, fold it, and put it away?” I am starting to feel guilty. “And you have to help out around here, right?” “I know, Dad. I also know that by hanging the laundry instead of using the dryer, we can save more energy. And that means we spend less and pollute less.” Dad is glad that I remember all that.
I’m quiet for a minute. I think I have to stop complaining(抱怨)about hanging the rest of the laundry.

22、Generally, Chinese scripts(字体)have five categories(种类): The seal character (Zhuang), the official script (Li), the regular script (Kai), the running hand (Xing) and the cursive hand (Cao).
To produce Chinese characters, one will need a brush, a paper, ink and ink stone. They are called the “Four Treasures of the Study”. To learn calligraphy, it is necessary to learn about these tools.
White-goat-hair, black-rabbit-hair and yellow-weasel-hair brushes are the main ones. Brush handles are usually made of bamboo. The ink stick is a special pigment(颜料)used for Chinese traditional painting and calligraphy. The most famous ink stick is Hui Mo, made of pines that grow on Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province. Xuan paper, produced in Xuanzhou (today’s Anhui Province), is said to be the best for Chinese calligraphy. Ink stones have three categories: Duan, She and Tao. Although the stone is hard and fine, it is not dry or slippery. Using this kind of stone, liquid ink can be produced easily.
