1、 Erhu, guzheng, suona and pipa are traditional Chinese instruments (乐器). They have something in common: Great Chinese musicians can play very beautiful music with them. These instruments can help to bring out the best in them, too. Chinese people love them a lot. But what about Americans? 答案让很多人感到惊讶。
In August 2018, a group of Chinese and American students gave a concert (音乐会) of traditional Chinese music at Harvard University in Massachusetts, the United States. The young musicians are between 13 and 22 years old. They are all talented in music. This is their first concert and people there had a good time.
“I didn’t know that they were students. I lost myself in the music, I feel like I was a happy bird when they are playing. This is a great concert!” said Donald Westmore.
“I have a thing about China. So I wouldn’t miss anything about China because I know how special it is. I love the concert very much.” said Linda Schwab Edmundson.
“每个人有了一个成功的开始。” Jingdong Cai said happily, the conductor(指挥家)of the music group.

22、People usually talk about two groups of colours: warm colours and cool colours. Scientists think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colours and people who prefer cool colours.
The warm colours are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colours and a lot of light, people usually want to be active(活跃的). People think that red example is exciting sociable(善交际的)people, those who like to be with others like red. The cool colours are green, blue and purple. These colours, unlike warm colours, are relaxing. Where there are cool colours, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.
Red may be exciting but one scientist says that time seems to pass more slow in a room with warm colours than in a room with cool colours. He suggested that a warm colour such as red or orange is a good colour for a living room or a restaurant.
People who are relaxing(休闲)or eating don't want time to pass quickly. Cool colours are better for offices of factories as the people who work there want time to pass quickly. Scientists don't know why people think some colours are warm and other colours are cool.
However, almost everyone agrees that warm colours remind(使想起)people of warm days and cool colours remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is low during winter, the sunlight appears quite blue. Because the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow. Jacksunshine998@sina com
