Instructions for Questions 15 Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:

The Grass that Build Asia

A thousand years ago, Korean monks made medical salts with bamboo called Chukyom.

Dissolved in water, bamboo salt is still taken as a curative for stomach ailments today.

Dr. SangPark of the Nambu Forestry Experimental Station in Chinju, South Korea, has

pioneered the use of bamboo charcoal as a glittering agent for Jinro Soju, the most popular liquor

in Korea, distilled in part from sweet potatoes. He is now studying bamboo sap as a potential

health drink and skin moisturizer.

It's the same story of progress in Thailand, where Somyot Tasalee's factory in Mae Sot, in the

northern province of Tak, makes compressed barbecue charcoal by recycling 15 tons of bamboo

waste daily. The by product comes from 300 villages in surrounding provinces, where people

make handicrats, chopsticks, toothpicks, and other products.

With the push to harness bamboos unique qualities on an industrial scale for new products and



uses, many bamboo lovers fear old skills are being lost. But artistry still has its rewards.

I see this in a courtyard in Thailand's Chon Buri province. Pradup Suskai sitting with a dozen

other women, weaving ine bamboo strips into extraordinary handbags each of which can sell

for $200 in Japan. "It takes up to ten years to learn these skills" she says. So perfect is the

women's work that one customer complained the handbags did not look handmade.

As the warm aternoon light kisses the feathery, nodding groves across the Wos River in Linda

Garland's Bali estate, i think of the countless artists and poets captivated by bamboo's haunting

timelessness. Garland, meanwhile, ponders the modern industrial future planned for bamboo

while telling me there should always be room to appreciate its ancient arts and simple beauty.
