六、任务型阅读。(2025·江苏盐城阜宁期中)
阅读短文，回答下列问题。
Wax printing(蜡染) is an ancient way of producing dyed textiles(染色纺织品). It is an important part of traditional Chinese culture. It is believed that wax printing appeared in China as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties and got popular in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. There is an interesting story about how wax printing was invented. Once upon a time, a girl was fond of dyeing(染色) white cloth blue and purple. One day, while she was working, a bee landed on her cloth. She got the bee away and found there was beeswax(蜂蜡) on the cloth. After she dyed the cloth, she saw a round white mark on the cloth. It looked very pretty. Her finding later led to the use of wax in dyeing.
Wax printing has many steps(步骤). First, draw some pictures of flowers, birds, fish, etc. on a piece of white cloth. Then use a special knife-like tool to spread melted(融化的) wax on the pictures. After that, put the cloth into a dye bath so that the unwaxed part take on the colour. Finally, wash the dyed cloth in boiling water and wait for the wax to melt, leaving clear pictures in white on the dyed cloth.
Today, wax printing is mainly used in some ethnic minority(少数民族) areas in Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guangxi. Some girls in those areas are highly skilled at wax printing.
注：每题答案不超过6个词。

2. What insect(昆虫) helped the finding of wax printing?
3. How many steps does wax printing have?
4. What colour of cloth is used to draw pictures on?
