But how will you feel if you're told that many of the pronunciations we learned in textbooks will be considered incorrect? Last month,an article titled "Chinese characters whose pronunciations have changed"caused heated discussions on Sina Weibo.The article claimed that some pronunciations,which were previously considered to have been misread,are now deemed correct They include the characters in well-known sentences from ancient poems. One example is by Du Mu from the Tang dynasty."I go by slanting stony path to the cold hill:Where rise white clouds.there appear cottages and bowers Many internet users disagreed with the changes.They argued that altering pronunciations would"change the rhyme of the sentences in poems.ruining the beauty of Chinese literature". According to CGTN,supporters of the change say "This is how language advances,and the pronunciations should adapt to the needs of society,rather than remain in the past." An official from the Ministry of Education responded,saying that most of the so-called "new" pronunciations have not yet been confirmed.However,according to the fifth and sixth editions of the Modern Chinese Dictionary,quite a few pinyin spellings have already been changed:(dai,first tone,ai,second tone)and确凿(zao,second tone,原zuo,fourth tone) "In some sense,pronunciation is a choice between the most popular version and the version with the longest history,"professor Zhang Yiwu told China Daily. 1.Many Chinese characters will change their based on different contexts A.structures B.meanings C.spellings D.pronunciations 2.The article which was heatedly discussed talks about A.some misread pronunciations are right now B.Chinese characters can change the
