The fastest plane in the world right now is Air Force One. It carries the president of the United States a

13、nd can reach 1,092 km/h. But the Antipode would be capable of reaching a crazy 25,750 km/h!Canadian designer Charles Bombardier says his plane could be 10 times faster than the Concorde, which could fly at 2,180 km/h.

20、elp in this regard, since most parents do not know which books suit their childrens reading levels the most. An effective classification system for childrens books would help overcome this problem.Chinese bookstores, online or offline, still prefer to use age rather than reading ability to categoriz

21、e what they sell. In fact, reading ability and interests vary from child to child even when they are at the same age. This early form of classification is accepted by most bookstores and publishers, yet many young readers get books that are nowhere near their targeted reading levels.China has at lea

22、st 200 million children under the age of 14, and their enthusiasm for reading has increased over the years. The publishers of childrens books should try to introduce a juvenile-centered classification system to help their readers choose books that are suitable for their reading abilities.Some dont t

23、rust the call for more effective book classification, mentioning the need for youngsters to read extensively and avoid restricting themselves to one or two categories. There is a strong case for resisting selective reading, but not book classification, which is designed to help young children develo

28、nable, mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as Guo Yong takes center stage. He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves. Blowing on one of the leaves, he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song. Some other musicians are also playing the tradi

29、tional instruments from various ethnic groups in China.Its the first time such music has ever been performed in the Grand Theater. But all this is the efforts of Zhu Zheqin, a Cantonese-born singer; who has made it her mission to help preserve Chinas traditional ethnic music.Several years ago, after

30、 being appointed a United Nations Development Program ambassador, Zhu traveled through some of Chinas remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups. In the course other four- month trip, she recorded more than a thousand songs. But she noticed that many

31、of the best musicians were old, and some of the music was at risk of dying out.“I was shocked the beauty of what I heard-it was so good,” she says. “But it needed support. I hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times.”So Zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians

32、 to a wider audience. By doing this, she hopes to rekindle (再次点燃) the interest of the younger generation. “Young people dont like this music much; they prefer pop music and love songs. They think these songs are something their grandma sings. This kind of repackaging gives young people a new door in

33、to their heritage.”Zhu believes China needs to look again at its own roots. “China today is basically all Western art; in our conservatories (音乐学院) Western classical music is the top,” she says. “For China to really contribute to the world, we need to go on our own path. So what can represent China

34、today?” The answer, she suggests, is to move from “made in China” to “created in China”.1、From the first paragraph, we learn that _.Athe audience are all young peopleBGuo Yong is playing the Buyi folk musicCGuo Yong is the only minority performer on the stageDtree branches make good musical instrume

39、passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But that doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius.

40、he past twenty years, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually

41、include Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of(利用) ancient Chinese wisdom to make up the drawbacks(缺陷) Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for

42、 life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well.
