Example 2: China is an ancient country with a long history of five thousand years. The age-old（悠久的）cultural tradition has bestowed（赐予）varied hobbies on Chinese people. In the past stringed instrument, chess, calligraphy and painting (Qin, Qi, Shu, Hua) were four elegant hobbies. People were usually evaluated based on their skills in them, for instance, a girl who was proficient（娴熟的）in them would be spoken highly of. Moreover, embroidering（刺绣）was also a hobby ladies enjoy. They stayed at home and had a lot of leisure time. They embroidered vivid animals, beautiful flowers and so on to mould（塑造）their characters. While for men, they preferred archery（射箭）, hunting, horse-riding and game of Weiqi (or Go). Later on, Peking Opera became popular and attracted a great number of people. However, with the rapid development of the world, some new hobbies gradually replaced the traditional ones. In the near future, the idea of journeys to outer space may appeal to the youth. Thanks to the advancement of high technology, flying in the sky and the new means of transport, may not be a dream any more. And then, airplane race will become another new hobby sooner or later.
Brief Comment（简评）：两个回答都不错。前者简洁概括；后者的文字驾驭能力很强，在历史穿越中自然走到了未来的轨道。选取历史长河中的琴棋书画、刺绣等极具民族色彩的传统活动来映射中国历史的悠久深远、独具特色，紧接着将太空探索等活动融入到对未来的憧憬之中，古代与现代自然衔接、传统与未来的自然对话，巧妙地揭示出命题中traditional和novel的含义。
