[00:20.45]1.Read about China's national⁴ flag
[00:24.82]and answer the questions.
[00:27.17]If the story doesn't tell you the answer,
[00:29.41]then write 'doesn't say'.
[00:31.37]China's new national flag is flown for the first time!
[00:35.74]The Chinese national flag is known⁵ all over the world,
[00:39.99]but its story is not very well known.
[00:42.74]In 1949,from 14 July to 15 August,
[00:48.48]a competition⁶ was⁷ held to find a new flag for China.
[00:51.96]People were invited⁹ to send their ideas to the newspapers.
[00:55.61]Many people took¹⁰ part¹¹.
[00:57.86]More than 3,000 ideas were received¹².
[01:01.39]These ideas were looked at
[01:03.14]many times by a group of important¹³ people.
[01:06.38]In the end,only thirty-eight were chosen.
[01:09.72]Zeng Liansong had¹⁴ an idea for a flag.
[01:13.87]He was a worker in Shanghai
[01:16.23]and his hobby was painting¹⁵.
[01:18.37]On his flag,
[01:20.22]he drew a large star near the top left corner
[01:23.28]and four smaller stars in a line under the large star.
[01:27.64]He showed it to his friends
[01:29.89]but they said¹⁶ they didn't like it,so he tried again.
[01:33.05]This time,he put the four
[01:35.71]small stars on one side¹⁷ of the large star.
[01:39.16]Although Zeng Liansong's flag
[01:41.41]was one of the best thirty-eight,
[01:43.76]it was only in thirty-second place.
[01:47.00]Not very good!
[01:48.75]But,when it was shown to Mao Zedong,
[01:51.52]he liked it very much.
[01:53.76]Many other people agreed¹⁸ with Mao.
[01:56.51]That is how the red flag with five yellow stars
[02:00.06]became the flag of the People's Republic of China.
