Piano schools for old people are offering many a chance to find their love for a musical
instrument that was once thought to be an expensive thing that few could buy.
Zhang Lingxin, a 65-year-old retired teacher in Shanghai, can now play two piano songs,
Auld Lang Syne (友谊地久天长) and Butterfly Lovers, or Liang Zhu, after learning the piano for
two years. “I loved music when I was a little girl and learning to play the piano was my childhood
dream. Now, when I get the chance to play the piano, I feel that my childhood dream has finally
come true. The children of today may not feel the same way,” she says.
20 years ago, Shanghai became the country’s first city where community ( 社 区 ) schools
offered piano lessons to the elderly (老年人). Every year, nearly 2,000 piano classes are organized.
According to official numbers, about 100,000 old people have joined these classes in one year.
Lyu Lunyu, a teacher from Shanghai’s community schools for the elderly says that most of
the people in these classes never had the chance to learn the piano when they were young. “A very
small number of them learned piano for a short time during their childhood or teenage years but
stopped as the parents didn’t believe that it was helpful to continue,” he says.
“Playing the piano is about having the mind process a piano score before sending information
to our hands. But for us, the whole process is much slower,” one of the students, Zhang Yulan says.
It is common for elderly people to forget what the teacher taught during the class when they arrive
home. As a result, they need to practice more to make sure they don’t forget.
“But whenever I saw the piano at home, I felt like it was always reminding me to start
learning again,” she says. “A true love of music is like true friendship — it will stand the test of
time,” Zhang says.
46. The paragraph (段落) one was written to _______.
A. provide a way to deal with a problem
B. present an opinion on a topic (话题)
C. lead to the topic of the passage
47. In Zhang Lingxin’s opinion, _______.
A. playing the piano is like a dream come true
B. she used to play the piano when she was little
C. children today have similar feelings about piano learning like her
48. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The old from the piano school played the piano all their life.
B. Shanghai started to provide the old with piano classes 20 years ago.
C. About 100,000 old people join the piano classes in China every year.
49. Why do the old practice more after class?
A. Because practicing can remind them to play the piano again.
B. Because they want to send the information to their hands when they play.
C. Because they need to make sure they remember what the teacher has taught.
50. We can infer (推断) from the passage that _______.
A. it’s never too old to learn
B. two heads are better than one
C. knowledge comes from questioning
B

Pop king Jay Chou’s fans didn’t end their long wait until
September, when his new single Won’t Cry came out. The song took
over the Internet overnight.
It has made $1.27 million after about 2.88 million users bought it
within one hour of the release (发行). And within the three hours, a record 3.6 million copies of
the MV were sold.
Why is it so popular? Is it because it is Jay’s best work? However, many of his fans said no.
In their eyes, although it is not the best, it is worth listening to. So they bought it. Besides, a large
group of Chou’s fans, who were born in the mid-1980s, have made money on their own and can
support him by buying his works. More importantly, Chou’s new MV is quite cheap — just for 3
yuan. That makes it possible for middle school students to buy it.
What really surprised us is that the MV, which was made in Japan, influenced the tourism in
the country greatly. Through the MV, people are touched by the Tokyo Tower and traditional
Japanese clothes, which makes the country the most popular foreign place for National Day
holiday.
Have you enjoyed this song? Do you want to listen to it now? Pay 3 yuan on QQ music, and
you can get it!
60. When did the song Won’s Cry come out?
61. Is Won’s Cry the best work of Jay?
62. How many reasons are mentioned to explain the popularity of the song?
63. What is the most popular foreign country in National Day holiday for Chinese tourists?
