I am a girl called Yuan Ningfei from Beijing. Now I live in London and I’m a student at City of London School for Girls. In my school, music is not just for people who play an instrument. It is for everyone.
We have music lessons once every week. Not everyone plays a musical instrument, but everyone is expected to learn a little bit about music. After all, it is never too late to pick up an instrument. During our lessons, we learn about musicians like Beethoven and Schumann. We not only listen to the music they composed (作曲), but also learn about their personal history.
We have concerts each grade. And it’s not just musicians who take part in our concerts. Everyone can take part! The students play the main role. Teachers give non-musicians some simple percussion (打击乐器) instruments because they’re easier to play. When I was in Grade 7, my classmates and I performed（表演） for our parents. I have a few friends who don’t play music. But they played these percussion instruments for that concert. I asked them what it felt like. One of my friends said, “It made me feel confident even if I didn’t think I could be there!”
Except the concerts, we have many other musical activities as well. Last month, I took part in the Young Musician of the Year Competition, which was organized (组织)by my school this year. I played the piano and won an award (奖项). I felt like I was a star performer onstage. I was so proud!
We all love music, and we believe music is an important part of life and that everyone should have the right to enjoy it.

Each year on Feb 21,UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) holds an International Mother Language Day (IMLD). The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance of the world's languages; many of them are disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact.
What happens when a language dies out? Something great is lost—not just sounds and words but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. We keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Killing a language means all these are killed too.
Through IMLD, more and more people come to realize the terrible situation and try to stop it. Google's 2018 Endangered Languages Project is a good example. Many speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload (上传) texts, audios (音频) and videos to the project website. They want to introduce the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world.
The Myaamia Project is the same kind of effort to revive the language spoken by the Miami tribes (部落) of the United States. Project members work to encourage people to study and communicate with this language, which died out in the 1960s.
These activities give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep languages alive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media (媒体) to support their activities. They "spread the word" to save the world.
So, while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling of our mother languages. This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela: "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart."
1.What did people do in Google's 2018 Endangered Languages Project?
A.They provided books on communication skills.
B.They discussed how to make good use of the Internet.
C.They shared materials about endangered languages online.
D.They translated endangered languages into mother languages.
2.The word "revive" in Paragraph 4 probably means "________."
A.start reusing B.remember choosing
C.try creating D.continue experimenting
3.What can we infer from Paragraph 5?
A.The disappearance of languages has already stopped.
B.It's impossible for young people to protect languages.
C.Fewer and fewer people work to keep languages alive.
D.Young people have creative ways to protect languages.
4.The writer mentions Nelson Mandela's words in order to ________.
A.express his thought of language protection
B.stress the importance of one's mother language
C.tell the trouble in learning endangered languages
D.remind us of the problem of disappearing languages
