TIANJIN, Dec.12, 2018 (Xinhua)—Striking Chinese gongs(锣) for 50 years, Liu Zibin, a 70-year-old folk artist in Tianjin Municipality, is eager to introduce the traditional musical instrument used in Chinese opera to more people.

Liu became addicted to Chinese opera in his childhood when his grandfather frequently took him to watch performances. At the age of 13, he joined Hebei bangzi training team. Hebei bangzi is one of the oldest types of Chinese opera in northern China, which became popular in the Qing Dynasty. It is a traditional Chinese opera combining music, vocals, dance and acrobatics(杂技).

“It took me hours to practice the basic skills of gongs,” he said. “This round piece of metal can help performers on the stage to express joy and sorrow when hit by a stick with different rhythms, so I must bear in mind all kinds of rhythms(节奏) for various situations. For example, striking gongs with a quick tempo(速度) can create a tense atmosphere for action scenes.”

In the 1960s and 1970s, the reorganization of opera troupes in Tianjin forced many members to switch their jobs to those in factories. Thanks to Liu’s brilliant skills, he was fortunate enough to go to one of the three biggest Beijing Opera troupes in Tianjin to continue his gong life.

Ten years ago, Liu retired, but he still goes to an opera tea house almost every afternoon to strike the gong for opera performances. In 2006, Hebei bangzi was listed into China’s national intangible cultural heritage. However, he worries about maintaining the art as fewer and fewer youngsters are learning percussion(敲打乐器), especially gongs. “People who strike the gong stay behind the scenes. It is hard for them to gain fame and fortune,” he said. Although many amateurs(业余爱好者) have learned from Liu over the years, some gave up easily. “It’s a bit dull and boring to continuously strike a gong for 40 minutes at the practice stage. It requires patience. Few can bear the hardship,” he said.

Various kinds of Chinese gongs are neatly placed at Liu’s home. He is waiting for more people to take over his career and spread the traditional Chinese art.

4. What can we know about Liu Zibin from the 2nd paragraph?

A. His grandfather founded Hebei Opera Troupe.

B. He showed interest in Chinese opera as a child.

C. He was the only one who could strike gongs in the troupe.

D. His grandfather taught him to sing Hebei bangzi.

5. Why did some members of the opera troupes turn to factories in the 1960s and 1970s?

A. Because of the reform of the opera troupes.

B. Because no one showed interest in opera then.

C. Because they could earn more money in factories.

D. Because the opera troupe was badly lacking in funds.

6. How old was Liu Zibin when he retired?

A. 55 years old. B. 60 years old.

C 65 years old. D. 70 years old.

7. What can we conclude from the text?

A. People striking the gong will never become famous.

B. Grasping the skill of striking the gong is anything but challenging.

C. Liu expects the traditional Chinese art will draw more people’s attention.

D. Hebei bangzi is now the world’s intangible cultural heritage.

C

It’s important for children to take part in social activities during their summer holidays. “Kids should have a break during the summer. They’ve worked hard during the school year and this is their time to relax, but they should continue communicating with their friends and meeting new people,” said Dr. Jin Han. He’s a professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.

Spending time with friends and meeting new people by doing fun and educational activities such as music, arts and sports programs in summer help with their development. “If children spend a lot of time alone on their electronic equipment, then they will fail to communicate with others,” Han said. “In today’s world, it’s very easy for kids to stay indoors all day and keep in touch with others, but that is not a good way to connect with others. Face-to-face communication is necessary and important. Parents should restrict the time their children spend on electronic equipment. For example, the time they spend on their phones cannot be more than one hour a day.”

It’s also important for children to spend quality time with their parents and sisters or brothers. “It’s not the length of time, but the quality of time that families spend together that is really valuable,” Han said. “This type of communication is not something that you can get from anywhere else. It doesn’t matter how old the child is, because family bonding (人与人之间关系) experiences can happen at any time.”

Having children spend time with friends and families doesn’t have to spend money in the wallet, either. For example, going to the neighborhood swimming pool or having a picnic is a great way to spend quality time together.

8. What does Dr. Jin Han think about the summer holidays according to the first paragraph?

A. It is necessary for children to have a rest during summer holidays.

B. Children should relax as much as possible during summer holidays.

C. Making new friends in summer holidays is difficult for children.

D. Children should prepare for schoolwork in summer holidays.

9. What does the underlined word “restrict” mean in Paragraph 2?

A. Increase. B. Control. C. Spend. D. Employ.

10. What can we infer from children spending time with families?

A. How long children spend with families matters.

B. What to do with families depends on the parents.

C. When to spend time with families makes a difference.

D. How to enjoy the time with families is of great importance.

11. What is the main idea of the text?

A. The importance of friends and families. B. The introduction of some social activities.

C. The suitable ways to spend summer holidays. D. The necessity of face-to-face communication.

D

Giving children music lessons won’t just introduce them to music―it could also greatly improve their language skills.

While many studies have shown that learning an instrument can affect things like the language ability, it isn’t understood if this is a side effect of a general improvement of cognitive (认知的) skills, or something that directly affects language processing.

Now, we are getting closer to an answer, thanks to a study of 74 Chinese kindergarten children, led by Robert Desimone from MIT. For the study, Desimone’s team chose children from the Chinese education system, with the support of education officials who wanted to see how it might improve their learning.

The 4-to-5-year-old Mandarin-speaking children in the study were divided into three groups. One group received a 45-minute piano lesson three times a week, while another received extra reading instruction classes. The third group acted as controls, taking no extra lessons beyond their usual classes.

The classes lasted for six months, after which the children were tested on their ability to tell words based on differences in tones, consonants (辅音), or vowels (元音). The test results showed that the children who had taken piano lessons performed better at telling the difference between words that differ by a single consonant, when compared with the children who took extra reading lessons. Compared to the control group, both the music learners and the extra reading group did better in telling the difference between words based on vowel differences.

“It looks like for recognising differences between sounds, including speech sounds, it’s better than extra reading. That means schools could pay more attention to music,” Desimone says. “It’s not worse than giving extra reading to the children, which is probably what many schools are trying to do―get rid of the art education and just have more reading.”

12. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Learning a musical instrument.

B. A study of children’s schooling.

C. The Chinese education system.

D. Improvement of cognitive skills.

13. What did the third group learn in the study?

A. Ways to improve their study.

B. Three extra piano lessons a week.

C. Extra lessons about reading tips.

D. Nothing except their usual studies.

14. What conclusion did researchers draw at last?

A. Learning music improved learners’ memory.

B. Children taking piano lessons didn’t perform well.

C. The extra reading group were good at telling vowels.

D. The piano turned out to be better than other instruments.

15. What can we learn from what Desimone says?

A. Children who learn music perform better at school.

B. It isn’t wise to cut back on music lessons.

C. Schools will increase reading classes.

D. Many schools value art education.

The  Experience   of   Volunteering
 

Last weekend, I had a wonderful memory in Tang Xianzu Art and Culture Festival, where I volunteered to be an interpreter.

As scheduled, I went to the airport to pick up the distinguished foreign guests and helped them check in at the hotel. During their stay in the festival, the guests appreciated numerous works created by well-known artists in China. From my perspective, serving as a volunteer is not only a great contribution to our society but also beneficial to myself. When providing help for others, I can improve my communication skills.

Therefore, I sincerely hope that everyone would be involved in the volunteering work.
