Passage A（基础科普类・节奏：音乐的灵魂）

Rhythm: The Soul of All Music

Every piece of music has one necessary part — rhythm. It is the regular beat that makes us tap our feet or nod our heads when we listen to songs. Without clear rhythm, music will sound messy and hard to follow.

Different music styles carry totally different rhythmic feelings. Soft folk music has slow, gentle rhythm, which makes listeners calm down. Pop songs own light and catchy beats, so people love to sing along to them. Rap stands for fast, strong rhythm with spoken lyrics. Jazz uses special swing rhythm that jumps freely. Even Chinese traditional music like pipa solos has its own unique rhythmic rules.

Many students think feeling rhythm is a born talent. In fact, it can be trained easily. You can clap hands to songs every day, or try simple percussion instruments. As you practice more, you will quickly catch the hidden beat inside any music.

Rhythm connects music with our hearts. No matter what style you love, feeling the rhythm lets you truly enjoy the beauty of music.

Passage B（中档叙事类・少年琵琶手：让传统韵律被听见）

Xiao Yu and Her Pipa Rhythm

Xiao Yu, a Grade Nine student, learned to play the pipa at the age of seven. At first, she hated the boring repeated practice of basic rhythmic patterns. Her fingers often hurt after long training, and she almost gave up.

Her music teacher told her that traditional folk music lives in its special rhythm. The teacher suggested she listen to classic pipa pieces like Horse Racing every day, and tap beats while enjoying the music. She also advised Xiao Yu to mix pipa rhythm with light pop melodies in small performances.

Xiao Yu took the advice. She spent 40 minutes practicing every evening and collected many folk music records. Last school art festival, she put on a special show: she played pipa with soft pop background music. The perfect mix of ancient rhythm and modern tunes won warm cheers from all teachers and students.

Xiao Yu said, “I once thought old folk music was out of date. Now I realize its beautiful rhythm can match young people’s taste. If we stick to practice and dare to mix styles, traditional music will shine again.”
