Tan Dun, a world-famous composer, wrote the music. His unique style has earned him great respect and success in the world of music. Born in central Hunan, China, Tan Dun grew up near the Liuyang River. Tan showed an interest in music when he was very young. He loved the sounds of the rushing water and the blowing wind because, to him, the best music came from nature. Since he had no musical instruments then, he made music with common objects like stones and paper. In 1978, Tan entered the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. Eight years later, Tan went on to study music in the USA. There he became familiar with Western music and got to know great musicians worldwide. As he likes the sounds of nature, Tan uses them a lot in his music. In 1998, he wrote an amazing piece called Water Concerto. It does not use any musical instruments. Instead, Tan makes over 50 sounds simply by controlling the speed of water flow. “They‘re the sounds of nature, and they create different pictures in different minds,” Tan said. Tan’s educational background has allowed him to build a bridge between Eastern and Western styles of music, successfully bringing them together. Tan wrote the award music for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. This piece of music was perfect for such an international event as it used traditional Chinese music and the sounds of an ancient Chinese bell, but in a Western style. “My music is to dream without boundaries,” Tan once said. In his works, the past and the present, everyday objects and musical instruments, traditional Chinese music and modern Western music all mix together to make a new type—music without boundaries. 联合国《生物多样性公约》第十五次缔约方大会在《和光同春》的优美音乐中开幕。世界著名作曲家谭盾创作了这首音乐。他独特的风格为他在音乐界赢得了极大的尊重和成功。 谭盾出生于中国湖南省中部地区，在浏阳河边长大。他很小的时候就对音乐表现出兴趣。他喜欢流水声和风声，因为对他来说，最美妙的音乐来自大自然。由于当时没有乐器，他用石头和纸等普通物品来制作音乐。 1978年，谭盾进入北京中央音乐学院学习。八年后，他前往美国学习音乐。在那里，他熟悉了西方音乐，并结识了世界各地的伟大音乐家。 因为他喜欢自然界的声音，谭盾经常在音乐中使用它们。1998年，他创作了一首名为《水乐》的惊人之作。它不使用任何乐器。相反，谭盾仅通过控制水流的速度就制造出50多种声音。“它们是大自然的声音，在不同的脑海中会勾勒出不同的画面，”谭盾说。 谭盾的教育背景使他能够在东西方音乐风格之间架起一座桥梁，成功地将它们融合在一起。谭盾为2008年北京奥运会创作了颁奖音乐。这首乐曲非常适合这样的国际盛事，因为它使用了中国传统音乐和中国古钟的声音，但采用了西方风格。 “我的音乐就是梦想无边，”谭盾曾说。在他的作品中，过去与现在、日常物品与乐器、中国传统音乐与现代西方音乐都融合在一起，形成了一种新的类型——无边界音乐。 三．课内知识解析 1. strength /streŋθ;

Pop music or classical music? According to a study from a medical school, music can bring many health benefits. Music is not just for fun. It is like a powerful medicine. Studies show that listening to music can ease physical pain, lower stress, and calm worries. For patients with long-term pain, music helps draw the brain’s attention away and make them feel less pain. Music can also help people with sleep problems. Many hospitals already use music as part of their treatment. Soft music can help patients stay relaxed during operations (手术). It makes them feel less nervous and can reduce the amount of medicine they need. This simple and safe way has helped many patients around the world. Music treatment also works well for some brain conditions. For those with brain illness, rhythmic (有节奏的) music helps train the brain to control movement. It can improve walking and balance. For patients with dementia (痴呆症), familiar songs may unlock lost memories (记忆). Even for stressed people, music gives them a safe way to express their feelings. Why is music so helpful? It touches many parts of the brain at once—areas for sound, feelings, movement, and memory. This common language helps not just the body, but the mind and heart as well. So more and more people are beginning to see the importance of music in health. 16．Why does the writer mention “a powerful medicine” in paragraph 1? A．To give an example. B．To describe a feeling. C．To make a comparison. D．To explain a meaning. 17．What does the underlined word “ease” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Spread. B．Reduce. C．Suffer.

Recent studies show that this activity can have some positive effects on their development. For example, playing music helps improve memory and concentration. This often leads to better performance in school subjects like math and science. Besides study benefits, music also provides emotional advantages. Many young people find that playing an instrument helps them express personal feelings and relax. Furthermore, being part of a school band teaches students valuable social and teamwork skills. They also build confidence through performing in front of people. As one high school student said, “The first time I played a song in a concert, I was scared. But after receiving applause (掌声), I felt very proud and more confident.” Then, how to pick a suitable instrument to learn? First, follow your favorite music style and personal interest. If you like soft sounds, you can choose the violin or the piano. If you prefer loud and energetic music, the drums or the guitar may be better. Then, check if the instrument fits your budget (预算) and the space at home, since some instruments are large and expensive. Finally, give it a try before making a decision. This way, you can pick out the most suitable one for yourself. 46．What emotional advantages does playing a musical instrument provide? 47．How did the high school student feel after playing a song in the concert? 48．Which musical instrument would you like to learn?

Tan Dun, a world-famous composer, wrote the music. His unique style has earned him great respect and success in the world of music. Born in central Hunan, China, Tan Dun grew up near the Liuyang River. Tan showed an interest in music when he was very young. He loved the sounds of the rushing water and the blowing wind because, to him, the best music came from nature. Since he had no musical instruments then, he made music with common objects like stones and paper. In 1978, Tan entered the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. Eight years later, Tan went on to study music in the USA. There he became familiar with Western music and got to know great musicians worldwide. As he likes the sounds of nature, Tan uses them a lot in his music. In 1998, he wrote an amazing piece called Water Concerto. It does not use any musical instruments. Instead, Tan makes over 50 sounds simply by controlling the speed of water flow. “They‘re the sounds of nature, and they create different pictures in different minds,” Tan said. Tan’s educational background has allowed him to build a bridge between Eastern and Western styles of music, successfully bringing them together. Tan wrote the award music for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. This piece of music was perfect for such an international event as it used traditional Chinese music and the sounds of an ancient Chinese bell, but in a Western style. “My music is to dream without boundaries,” Tan once said. In his works, the past and the present, everyday objects and musical instruments, traditional Chinese music and modern Western music all mix together to make a new type—music without boundaries. 联合国《生物多样性公约》第十五次缔约方大会在《和光同春》的优美音乐中开幕。世界著名作曲家谭盾创作了这首音乐。他独特的风格为他在音乐界赢得了极大的尊重和成功。 谭盾出生于中国湖南省中部地区，在浏阳河边长大。他很小的时候就对音乐表现出兴趣。他喜欢流水声和风声，因为对他来说，最美妙的音乐来自大自然。由于当时没有乐器，他用石头和纸等普通物品来制作音乐。 1978年，谭盾进入北京中央音乐学院学习。八年后，他前往美国学习音乐。在那里，他熟悉了西方音乐，并结识了世界各地的伟大音乐家。 因为他喜欢自然界的声音，谭盾经常在音乐中使用它们。1998年，他创作了一首名为《水乐》的惊人之作。它不使用任何乐器。相反，谭盾仅通过控制水流的速度就制造出50多种声音。“它们是大自然的声音，在不同的脑海中会勾勒出不同的画面，”谭盾说。 谭盾的教育背景使他能够在东西方音乐风格之间架起一座桥梁，成功地将它们融合在一起。谭盾为2008年北京奥运会创作了颁奖音乐。这首乐曲非常适合这样的国际盛事，因为它使用了中国传统音乐和中国古钟的声音，但采用了西方风格。 “我的音乐就是梦想无边，”谭盾曾说。在他的作品中，过去与现在、日常物品与乐器、中国传统音乐与现代西方音乐都融合在一起，形成了一种新的类型——无边界音乐。 三．课内知识解析 1. strength /streŋθ;
