As vast fields surrunding Beijing and Shanghai transfrmed int twering skyscrapers, and ld bicycles gave way t mtr vehicles, the essence f music cmmunicatin remained unchanged ver these shifts.
"I'll never frget that I've never seen s many bicycles in my life," Philadelphia Orchestra vilinist Davyd Bth said, recalling his first tur in China 50 years ag. "Everyne rde a bicycle. There were literally hundreds, thusands."
This mnth, 14 musicians frm the Philadelphia Orchestra, including Bth, are returning t China, with perfrmances scheduled in Beijing, Tianjin, Suzhu and Shanghai. The tur marks the 50th anniversary（周年纪念日） f their first visit in the 1970s, celebrating the unique friendship between China and the United States. Over the years, the rchestra（管弦乐团） has strengthened cnnectins acrss China, with cncerts and residencies that facilitate meaningful peple-t-peple interactins.
Bth said the 1973 tur was his first internatinal trip with the rchestra. He cnsidered himself lucky t have been part f the tur. He had just auditined（试演） and gt accepted int the rchestra that year. His fficial start date was scheduled after the rchestra's return frm China, but Bth received a call frm the persnnel manager infrming him that smene had fallen ill. He then tk the place and went t China.

After the cncert, the team was hanging arund n the streets, Bth said. It was a fun experience even thugh peple did nt knw hw t talk t lcals because f language barriers, he said. "Yu can cmmunicate a lt by smiling, and it wrked ut very, very well," he added.

Since childhd, Lndn-based artist Jsh Gluckstein has been fascinated by the incredible diversity f ur planet's wildlife and inspired t make sculptures f animals frm fund materials. He ften uses abandned r recycled materials like clthing frm junk shps r wd frm ld furniture. An imprtant aspect f his practice is cncern fr the envirnment. "I have traveled thrugh Asia, Latin America and East Africa, and have been frtunate enugh t have sme incredible wildlife encunters," he says. "Hwever, n my travels, even in the mst remte lcatins, I was shcked by the huge amunts f plastic waste."
Mach f the garbage that washes up n shrelines arund the wrld is due t an unregulated（未受监管的） system in which richer cuntries exprt waste t develping cuntries because it is ften cheaper than develping better infrastructures（基础设施） t handle it. Many f the thusands f shipping cntainers exprted each year are ften dumped illegally.
"I remember ging t the Galapags Islands and visiting a beach famus fr a large ppulatin f sea lins. It was indeed incredible t see them in the wild, but n every inch f sand nt cvered by sea lins, there were plastic bttles and cans. It was a heartbreaking sight. I knew I wanted t create artwrks that didn't create waste r harm ur planet," Gluckstein says.
Gluckstein hpes his wrks will raise peple's awareness abut the imprtance f prtecting endangered species. His new series called "Gld" fcuses n illegally hunted animals by applying gld leaves t their bdies. He plans t dnate sme f the sales f his sculptures t the wrld Wide Fund fr Nature.

We might think f ur eye clr as ne f ur defining physical features, as persnal t us as the shape f ur nse. But, surprisingly, ur eye clr desn't always remain cnstant thrughut ur lives.
Evidence suggests whether a baby's eye clr changes r nt depends a lt n the clr itself. One study led by American researcher Cassie Ludwig tracked 148 babies brn at a hspital in Califrnia, recrding their iris（虹膜） clr at birth. Over half f the babies were brn with brwn eyes, and less than ne-third with blue. Tw years later, the researchers fund f the 40 blue-eyed babies in the study, I l had brwn eyes by the age f tw, three had hazel（浅赤褐色的）, and tw had green. Of the.77 brwn-eyed newbrns, almst all(73) still had brwn eyes at the age f tw.
But why d blue eyes change mre? The answer may be fund in the fact that when the babies' eyes did change clr, they tended t becme darker, nt lighter. In Ludwig's study, ne-third f the babies' eyes changed clr in their first tw years, with the mst cmmn change being eyes becming darker. The trend twards darkening may be due t the build-up f a prtective pigment（色素） in the irises—but mre n this later.
Such relatively cmmn, healthy clr change is mstly limited t early childhd. In anther study in the US, which tracked mre than 1,300 twins frm babyhd t adulthd, eye clr usually stpped changing by the age f six. Amng nn-identical twins, eye clr was mre likely t change than amng identical twins.
Smetimes clr changes can be seen in hair in newbrns thrughut childhd. "Sme babies are brn with blnde hair, but they've gt quite dark brwn hair when they becme lder," says Australian researcher David Mackey. "That's prbably because the pigment in yur hair can increase gradually ver time. "It may be a similar stry fr eye clr," he suggests, with greater quantities f pigment —the main pigment in the eyes is melanin（黑色素）—building up in the mnths r years after birth.
32. What was the finding f Ludwig and her clleagues?
A. Babies' iris clrs are likely t remain unchanged.
B. US babies are mre likely t be brn with blue eyes.
C. Brwn eyes are likely t becme several ther clrs.
D. Blue eyes are mre likely t change clr than brwn eyes.
33. During the clr change, what causes the babies'eyes t becme darker?
A. The grwth f a pigment in the iris.
B. Unhealthy diet amng tw-year-lds.
C. The interactin f different clrs.
D. The expsure f eyes t light.
34. Why des the authr mentin the study invlving ver 1,300 twins?
A. T prve twins' eyes are mre likely t change clr.
B. T explain why eye clr change is cmmn amng babies.
C. T shw hw lng eye clr change will cntinue.
D. T stress nn-identical twins' eyes ften change clr in later life.
35. Hw is the last paragraph mainly develped?
A. By giving descriptins. B. By making a cmparisn.
C. By fllwing time rder. D. By ffering sme examples.
