Born in a village in Gansu province, Zhu Yanjun had never left his hometown in
his early age. Some of his friends dropped out of middle school and worked in the
city. Hearing about their exciting lives there, he did not go to high school and
instead became a migrant worker.
For 30 years, Zhu had been a migrant worker in different cities. Although he
only had a middle school education, his passion for reading never faded. The passion
was inspired by his Chinese teacher in middle school who has published many articles
in magazines.
“I also wanted to publish stories”, he said to himself. So he started to read.
No matter where he worked, he went to local bookstores regularly with a notebook
in order to write down wonderful paragraphs and memorize them. In this way, he got
to know the history, traditions and landscapes of different places. Over the years,
he has read thousands of poems and can recite over 1000 of them. When reading poems
from the Tang Dynasty and poems written by Chairman Mao Zedong, he appreciated the
beauty of their language. He said, “One can get inspired to have a rich spiritual
world and powerful mind from reading.” Whenever he faces any challenge, he thinks
of Chairman Mao’s words: “Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his
mind to it.”
This year, he finally appeared in the Chinese Poetry Competition hosted by CCTV
and won the second place, impressing the audience deeply with his good performance.
The local government decided to hire him as a staff member at the cultural center.

poems. Besides, he has more opportunities to share his study experience with others
and inspire more people around to explore the beauty of reading.

Lots of people are familiar with waving handheld remotes when playing video games.
However, Murphy from England is applying the idea to something else: helping children
and young people who are struggling with their mental health.
He has created Contr, a combination of two pieces of stick-shaped handheld
equipment and a smartphone app, which can be used to practise mindfulness - a form
of meditation (冥想) and relaxation. The Contr equipment uses sounds, lights and
vibrations to guide people through different mindfulness activities and games. These
include balancing on one leg and breathing in and out as if you are a balloon, while
the app records your progress.
Murphy came up with the idea while he was studying product design at the
University of Brighton, in England. He had seen the challenges faced by his younger
brother, who has ADHD, a condition that makes it hard for people to sit still and
concentrate. To help his brother out, Murphy was determined to design something
useful.
“When we spoke to parents, we found that it wasn’t just young people with ADHD
that needed mindfulness; it could be useful for other mental health issues too,”
says Murphy.“The benefits of mindfulness are well known, but for a child mindfulness
can be a little tedious and passive,” adds Murphy’s father, John, “The idea here
was to make mindfulness fun.”
Contr will begin taking orders in September, 2023 on Starter website. Murphy
and John are already thinking how it could develop. They strongly hope Contr will
be able to help young people who are feeling anxious or struggling to concentrate.
8. Why is Contr created?
A. To stress the importance of mindfulness.
B. To have a better experience of video games.
C. To help people with mental health problems.
D. To raise people’s awareness of mental health.
9. What inspired Murphy to create Contr?
A. His interest in mindfulness.
B. His father’s encouragement.
C. His university’s requirement.
D. His younger brother’s condition.
10. What does the underlined word “tedious” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Boring.
B. Tiring.
C. Excellent.
D.
Appropriate.
11. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Contr makes Murphy rich.
B. Contr enjoys great popularity.
C. Contr will hit the market soon.
D. Contr aims for young customers.

If there’s any modern method for traditional Chinese music to live on, it must
be digital technology.
Recently, a digital protection project targeting traditional Chinese
instrumental music was started by the Chinese National Academy of Arts and Tencent
Interactive Entertainment, a leading internet entertainment company in China. The
project was intended to revive (复兴) traditional music by using digital technology
to restore and preserve original music sources. Based on these sources, digital
albums, social media mini-programs and game background music can be created. These
are all ways of transmitting and promoting preserved music to future generations.
The first traditional instrument to get this kind of “rebirth” was an ancient
set of chime bells originally owned by Marquis Yi of the Zeng State (曾侯乙编钟).
The set is a large group of 65 percussion instruments (打击乐器) dating back to the
Warring States Period. As the largest set of bianzhong ever discovered in China,
the chime bells have a wide range of tones and special features. This made it really
challenging for the music technology providers of the project. “This is the first
time that I have ever seen such a large, unexpected composition because it’s not
one set of instruments, but 65 different pieces,” said a sound designer Zhang Xin.
To perfectly record sounds of the chime bells, they did a number of trials. After
reading a lot of papers and historical books, they tried to work out where to put
the recording microphone. The team tested and tried many forms of field recording
technology from different distances.Finally 613 sounds were collected.
So far, they’ve used the bianzhong sounds to compose 9 songs digitally, forming
a new album to touch people’s soul.
12. Which of the following best describes the digital protection project?
A. It aims to bring back traditional Chinese music.
B. It combines games with traditional music.
C. It is operated by Tencent company.
D. It is to train future musicians.
13. Why did the technology providers find the project challenging?
A. Because they lacked working experience.
B. Because they had to read historical books.
C. Because the chime bells have unique tones.
D. Because the chime bells were very famous.
14. What did Zhang Xin think of the project?
A. It was tiring but interesting.
B. It was tough but meaningful.
C. It developed digital technology.
D. It preserved traditional instruments.
15. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. The Rise of Digital Music
B. Features of the Chime Bells
C. Music for Future Generations
D. The Rebirth of Traditional Music
【答案】12. A
13. C
