A guiding principle for master cellist Yo-Yo Ma is that “the intersection(交汇) of cultures is where new things appear.” Certainly his biography is an intersection of cultures. He was born to Chinese parents in Paris, France; both his parents were musicians. When he was seven, his family moved to the United States. Gifted for his age, Ma attended Juilliard, the world famous music institute. He then chose to earn a liberal arts degree at Harvard rather than focusing only on music.

Even in his earliest performing years, Yo-Yo Ma had a strong belief that it was important to share music with all kinds of people. Stories are told about how he once performed in the hallway of a large building for people who were unable to get tickets to his concert. He remained interested in making music accessible to diverse audiences and furthered his interest in different cultures when he visited the Bushmen of the Kalahari. He developed a vehicle to further these ideals when he founded the Silk Road Project.

As he has said, the Silk Road is a metaphor(隐喻) for a number of things: as the Internet of ancient times, the routes were used for trade, by religious people, adventurers, scientists, storytellers. Everything from algebra to Islam moved along the Silk Road. It’s the local-global thing. In the cultural world, you want to make sure that voices don’t get lost, that rich traditions continue to live, without becoming common.

This lesson explores the philosophy behind Yo-Yo Ma’s founding of the Silk Road Ensemble(乐团), his belief that the arts, and particularly music, can make the world better, and that through cooperation, one can both preserve tradition and shape cultural evolution. Students also explore their own attitudes toward the arts, writing reflective essays on how the arts have played a role in their own lives.

1.What do we learn about Yo-Yo Ma according to Paragraph 1?

A. He studied music in France.

B. He started his career in Harvard.

C. He showed great musical talent.

D. He earned a liberal arts degree in Julliard.

2.Which of the following can best replace the word “vehicle” in Paragraph 2?

A. Car. B. Medium.

C. Skill. D. Project.

3.What does Yo-Yo Ma think of the Silk Road?

A. The route is key to musical development.

B. It has significant influence on the world.

C. It simply helps with the spread of religions.

D. Traditions are passed on through the route.

4.Why did Yo-Yo Ma found the Silk Road Ensemble?

A. To foster cooperation in business.

B. To record the voices along the route.

C. To explore people’s attitude toward the arts.

D. To share music and promote cultural development.

Sharing Beauty

It was in October. I was aimlessly wandering down the street, heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but it seemed everyone was in a hurry.

I took the next-best action. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She looked at me as though I were from some other planet. She hesitated, and then seemingly against her better judgment, she moved toward the door.

When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.”

For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world.” I thanked her for coming out to see it; she went back inside and I left. It felt good to share the beauty.

Four years later my situation changed greatly. I came to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. I lived in a trailer park which, at the time, I considered a real come-down, and I had to do my wash in the community laundry room.

One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: clothing sales in a department store.

Then something that happened to her changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world,” and she had realized the truth in that statement. From that moment on, she turned her life around.

1.The author asked the woman to go outside to ______.

A. admire the sunset B. cheer her up

C. offer some help D. have a chat

2.Four years later, the author______.

A. found her dream job B. put an end to her marriage

C. worked in a laundry room D. lived in the same community

3.After reading the article in the magazine, the author was probably______.

A. disappointed B. puzzled

C. inspired D. overjoyed

Developing a Funny Personality

Put yourself under the spotlight. Tell self-deprecating (自嘲的）jokes rather than make jokes at the expense of others. 1. Rodney Dangerfield made fun of both his sanity (理智）and his looks with this one: "I went to the psychiatrist (精神病医生)，and he says 'You're crazy.' I tell him I want a second opinion. He says, ‘Okay，you're ugly too!'"

Know your audience. 2. Some people find that sensationalism causes them to laugh; others find that satire (讽刺) does the trick. Learn which is which, and deliver your jokes and anecdotes so that they apply to many different categories of humor and emotion at once.

Mislead the mind. Misleading the mind is what we referred to earlier as surprise. 3. Verbal jokes use this element to the greatest level possible, trying to misdirect your attention in the same that magic tricks do.

4. Good timing is really important, because if you give the brain too much time to work out a situation or joke, the funny moment will pass by. This is probably why jokes people have heard before don't work, as recognition dulls the humor because the brain is already well-prepared by experience. React quickly and strike while the humorous moment exists.

Be observant. Look for the humor in everyday situations, and see what others don't. 5.

A. Strike while the iron is hot.

B. Different things make different people laugh.

C. Surround yourself with people who are funny.

D. More people will be more willing to laugh, instead of being laughed at.

E. You can expand your reach a good deal by listening to other funny people.

F. Often, the unnoticed humor that is standing right in front of our eyes has the most effect.

G. This is when you create a difference between what someone expects to happen and what actually happens.

The topic, which many people______ a small one, will actually have a great influence_____ us.

A. think as; to B. think of as; on

C. think as; upon D. think of as; to

Nail-biting(咬指甲) is one of the most common annoying habits in children. 1. But you needn’t worry too much and as soon as you realize what’s causing nail-biting, you can help your child overcome and stop it. So, here’s what you can do about it.

2. In some cases, children won’t even realize they are biting their nails, let alone know why they are doing it. So make sure you have a conversation with your child (if he/she is old enough) and make him/her realize he/she is doing it and try to figure out why it’s happening. 3. It’s important to agree on the level of your involvement. If he/she wants help, create a secret reminder that will make him/her stop without embarrassing him/her.

Give alternatives (替代物).4. Depending on the age of the child, there are several things that you can offer such as a small ball, Play-Doh games, or any kind of other small toys.

Use bitter solutions(溶液). Forcing a child to keep this solution on his/her fingers may feel like a punishment. 5. Everything else will only lead to embarrassment and discouragement. Furthermore, some of these solutions contain pepper which burns if it enters a child’s mouth or eyes. But if you have an adolescent child who wants to quit biting his/her nails, you may suggest and try out this solution.

A.It’s also likely to continue as the child grows up.

B.Help the child become aware of the habit.

C.You should also consider asking for professional help.

D.Make an agreement on how you’re going to stop it together.

E.The best thing children can do is communicate with their parents.

F.The child needs to go through the process painlessly and in agreement with you.

G.That will keep his/her hands occupied when he/she is likely to bite his/her nails.
