Isungset'got the idea fos ice music more than 20 years ago."I was asked to do a concert in a frozen waterfalL,"he says.This gave him the idea to play instruments that were actually made out of ice.As far as he could tell,this hadn't been done before."There were no books to read about it-nothing on the Intemet,"he says,"So I had to create everything by myself." In 2006,Isungset helped start the Ice Music Festival in Europe.It is held in February.Almost everything at the Ice Music Festival is frozen."As you can imagine,there is a lot to prepare for an ice concert,"Isungset says,"We come to a place,we gather the ice,and we build the concert hall out of snow and ice." "For the festival,I have a goal of trying to invent a new instrument every year;"Isungset says,"When the show is over,we give everything back to nature." Instruments include ice homs."Would your lips stick to it?Many people ask that question," Isungset says."If the hom was made out of metal,they would get stuck completely."His solution?Use a small piece of leather.Place it on the hom's mouthpiece."It's the only part of my instrument that is not made of ice." 第3页共8页 24.What are Isungset's ncw instruments mainly made of?

"Many people assume that because young people are fluent in social media,they can recognize fake news,but our work shows the opposite to be true."wrote lead study author Sam Wineburg,a professor at Stanford's Graduate School of Education. Both Google and Facebook are now taking steps te control misleading news from making its way on their platforms,but they won't be able to eliminate.it completely.That is why it's now more important than'ever to teach our kids to think criticauy wen it comes to believing various information sources.

This approach,known as deliberate practice,encourages setting goals from a young age, investing time,and specializing.in a speoific field..On paper,.it sounds like the surefire(必定成功的) path to success,but when we deeply study the lives of elite athletes,musicians,and scholars,we find a different story. In reality,many individuals who have risen to the top of their respective fields took a more diverse and circuitous route.They often explored a wide range of activities,gained a broad skill set,and only specialized at a later stage in life.Studies have shown that an approach called the "sampling period"is often more ettecdve fo achleving success.During this phase,individuals try various activities,gain diverse skills,identify their strengths and weaknesses,and only choose a field to specialize in once they have a clearer'understanding of their passions and abilities Consider the joumey of Roger Federer,one of the greatest tennis players of all time.At the age .of6,he dabbled()inrugby,skiing,and.wrestling,only retuming to tennis-later.The trial period benefited him not jast because he found his true passion but also because his experiences in various sports enriched his tennis game with a unique set of skills.

It comes between late January and carly February.The Spring Festival evolves from the worship of praying for the new year at the beginning of the year.Before Lunar New Year's Day,people usually clean and decorate their houses.On New Year's Eve,people get together and have a big dinner with families.Dumplings are the most traditional food in the north.After that,people always watch TV programs and play fireworks outside.Spring Festival lasts fifteen days,during which people visit their relatives and friends from door to door.It is our custom that children get lucky money from elders. The Spring Festival reflects the Chinese people's expectation for a better life,as well as the importance of family affection. That's all.Thanks for listening 读后续写 ......Right then and there,in the middle of my anger,I realized I had to spring into action. Then I threw myself into as many basketball opportunities as I could find Apant from building up my body by running in the moming,I also took lessons to sharpen my skills.When summer rolled around(),I participated in every basketball camp available.When it became a struggle to run down the basketball court,my determination fueled my discipline,bringing me to the point I knew I could reach.I became a bit taller,better-built,and much more confident and I knew I was finally in the shape necessary for tryouts. When I took part in the eighth-grade basketball tryouts.I was smooth,swift and strong.I completed each task excellently.Although I was careful not to be overly confident,I felt a calm sense of certainty that my goal would be achieved.When the lists were posted,I found I had not only made it,but my name was the very first,which gave me a true sense of self-satisfaction.At that time,the old saying "If at first you don't succeed,try,try again"cchoed in my mind. 读后续写： 构思情节走向 根据两段续写首句的启示和读后续写故事“正能量”的原则判断，经过一年的不保努力，作者一定会出色地 通过八年级的篮球选拔赛。 续写第一段由首句Then I threw myself into as many basketball opportunities as I could find.`判断.作者在 该段中应该描写如何利用各种机会加强篮球训练。而训练的内容要与首段中作者自身的弱点(chin,average, undisciplined)进行呼应.也要与蚂妈的建议You'd better go to basketball camps next summer,.)产生呼应。续 写线索：首句+体质锻炼一→技巧训练一参加各种篮球夏令营→毅力使我不懈训练→身心达到良好状态。 续写第二段由首句When I took part in the eighth-grade basketball tryouts.I was smooth.swift and strong.】 判断.作者在该段中描写自己顺利通过了八年级的篮球选拔赛并从自身经历中得到感悟。续写线索：首句一 自信→成绩出色一感悟。 首句：示接原文中的Ihnd to spring Inio action,.可时义 Then I threw myself into as many basketball 引出下文，接下来捕写这些篮球机会。 opporlunitles s I could find.
