① The word “zhiyin”, which means close friends, comes from the story of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi in the Warring States Period.
② Boya was good at playing guqin. The music he played was exquisite and pleasant to listen to. Although many people praised his music, he believed that he had never come across anyone who could really understand his music. One day, he was playing music on his way home on the boat. Ziqi, a woodcutter who happened to pass by was listening to him by the riverside. Boya invited him on board and played tunes (曲) that described high mountains and flowing water. To Boya’s surprise, Ziqi could understand exactly what he wanted to express through his music. Boya was overjoyed and they became good friends. Since Boya had to return to his state, they promised to meet again in the following year.
③ Unfortunately, when getting back to visit Ziqi the next year, Boya heard that his friend had died from a disease. Boya was very sad and in front of Ziqi’s tomb (墓), he played again the music he had played when they first met. The feeling of the music was so strong that it was as if the rivers and the mountains were crying. When finishing playing, Boya broke his guqin into pieces. From then on, Boya never played again.
④ People in the Song Dynasty built the Guqin Tai in Hanyang to the memory of the deep friendship between Boya and Ziqi. It became an important part of the local culture.
⑤Zhiyin culture has new development in the new period. The famous ancient Chinese classical music piece Gaoshan Liushui was performed (表演) during the G20 Summit in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province in 2016. The musical performance not only showed the beauty of traditional Chinese culture but also expressed China's willingness to develop its friendship with people from around the world.

A. Because Boya was too sad about his friend’s death.
B. Because Boya became too old to play guqin well.
C. Because Boya broke his guqin into pieces in front of Ziqi’s tomb.
D. Because Boya thought nobody could understand his music any more.
27. Paragraph⑤ is mainly about ________.
A. the importance of classical music B. the new role of zhiyin culture

As Madison thinks about the future of the Eco-Hero, she says she wants to do more tests to improve the water bottle and make it stronger and bigger. She hopes the Eco-Hero can let people understand that everyone can make the world a better place. “It doesn’t have to be in a big way. Remember, everyone can make a difference to the world, even if it’s just in a small way,” says Madison.

① The word “zhiyin”, which means close friends, comes from the story of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi in the Warring States Period.
② Boya was good at playing guqin. The music he played was exquisite and pleasant to listen to. Although many people praised his music, he believed that he had never come across anyone who could really understand his music. One day, he was playing music on his way home on the boat. Ziqi, a woodcutter who happened to pass by was listening to him by the riverside. Boya invited him on board and played tunes (曲) that described high mountains and flowing water. To Boya’s surprise, Ziqi could understand exactly what he wanted to express through his music. Boya was overjoyed and they became good friends. Since Boya had to return to his state, they promised to meet again in the following year.
③ Unfortunately, when getting back to visit Ziqi the next year, Boya heard that his friend had died from a disease. Boya was very sad and in front of Ziqi’s tomb (墓), he played again the music he had played when they first met. The feeling of the music was so strong that it was as if the rivers and the mountains were crying. When finishing playing, Boya broke his guqin into pieces. From then on, Boya never played again.
