As an ancient country with a history of more than 5,000 years, China has hundreds of traditional musical instruments. These musical instruments interest the Westem people greatly. Here're four to enjoy!
Erhu is a Chinese folk instrument. It is sometimes known as the“Chinese violin” because it sounds like a violin. The Moon Over a Fountain is one of the most famous pieces of erhu music. A blind man, Abing,created it according to a love story between a girl and himself.
It's said that in ancient times, people used guzheng to strike the enemies. Later, it became a kind of musical instrument. At first, it had five strings, then seven strings, and then thirteen strings. Now, it usually has 21 strings.
Xun is one of the oldest Chinese musical instruments. It comes in different shapes. The most common one is egg-shaped. Each shape produces a different sound. It can be made of stone, jade(玉) and clay.
The horse-head fiddle( 马头琴) is a type of traditional musical instrument of the Mongolian ethnic group(蒙古族). There are two strings on the horse-head fiddle. Mongolians began to play it centuries ago.

Many Chinese learners find it hard to write and memorize Chinese characters. However, Lena,a 20-year-old American student, sees them in a special way. To her, each Chinese character tells its own story.
In Lena's eyes, Chinese characters look like different objects. The character “ren” (meaning“person”) seems like a cat's mouth,“ceng”(meaning“once”) looks like an angry robot, and the traditional form of“wu”(meaning“nothing”) reminds her of a sheep.
This March, Lena tried to draw Chinese characters for the first time and shared her creative drawings online. To her surprise, they spread quickly and received 40,000 likes overnight, sparking(引发)discussions about language, art, and cultural exchange.
Some say Lena seems to understand the beauty of Chinese characters even better than many Chinese people.“It's because you all are used to(习惯) seeing the characters,” she said, adding that the opposite(对立面) is also true. For example, she learned from herChinese friends that the popular internet word“orz” looks like a person kneeling(跪下) and bowing, but in English, it carries no meaning.
Lena prepares to share more drawings online. Her story shows that language is more than just words——it's about connection and seeing the world through someone else's eyes. That's also the spirit behind UNChinese Language Day.“This day encourages people to examine their own language in new ways and discover its creativity and beauty,” saidLena. She also advises Chinese learners around the world to communicate more with Chinese people.“It's not only fun but also a great cultural exchange.”
( )46. What does Lena think of Chinese characters?
A. They are too difficult to remember.
B. Each character has its own story.
C. They are easier to read than to write.
D. They' re more popular than English.
( )47. What does the character“wu” look like in Lena's eyes?
( )48. What does the underlined word“they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Chinese art and culture. B. Chinese people.
C. Chinese characters. D. Lena's drawings.
( )49. Why can Lena find the beauty in Chinese characters?
A. Because they' re new to her.
B. Because she's used to seeing them.
C. Because her mother is a Chinese teacher.
D. Because she is talented in art.
( )50. What is the purpose of UN Chinese Language Day?
A. To compare Chinese with other languages.
B. To celebrate Chinese history and traditions.
C. To teach people how to write Chinese characters.
D. To encourage people to discover the beauty of Chinese.
C
In the past, Chinese children played many traditional games like skipping rope(跳绳), playing jianzi, and rolling iron hoop(滚铁环).These games were not only fun but also helped kids exercise and make friends. However, today these games are slowly disappearing from children's lives. Many people worry that this important part of culture may be lost.
One main reason is technology. With smartphones and computers everywhere, many children now like playing digital games indoors rather than doing outdoor activities. A survey shows that three quarters of the Chinese children spend over 2 hours daily on electronic devices(电子设备) such as computers and smartphones. Traditional games seem“old-fashioned” to them.
Another reason is the lack of enough space. In modern cities,playgrounds are becoming fewer because buildings take up more areas. ★ Also, busy parents don't have enough time to teach these games to their children. Some schools try to keep the tradition alive by including these games in PE classes, but it's not enough.
The disappearance(消失) of these games means more than just losing fun activities. They were an important part of Chinese culture.Without them, children miss chances to develop social skills and learn about their cultural traditions.
( )51. What percentage of Chinese children spend over 2 hours daily on electronic devices?
A.25%. B.34%. C.75%. D.90%.

Long ago, it was said that Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor,invented silk. This soft, strong cloth was so valuable that people called it“China’ s Gold”. Following emperors’ orders, the Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries.
During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian travelled west to Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed by, silk became so important that the trade road from Europe to China got its name—— the Silk Road.
The Silk Road became a busy highway for traders to carry things across deserts and mountains. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices(香料), gold and silver
from the West. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example,Chinese inventions like paper-making were spread to the West, while new math and science ideas came to China.
Most importantly, it helped cultures learn from each other. People shared art, music and even language along this road. In places like the Dunhuang Grottoes(敦煌石窟), you can see how art pieces combined Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive. You can't see it anywhere else.
The Silk Road tells us how people from different lands became friends through trade and shared ideas. It stands as an example of cooperation(合作) and communication, teaching us to respect different traditions and showing cultures work together to create amazing things.
