Passage 33 World tunes Beautiful music flows from his dancing hands and speaks a language for all people - young and old, rich and poor - to hear. It is a language of love and romance. With "Pour Elise" () and "Ballade Pour Adeline" ), French pianist Richard Clayderman is loved by millions all over the world. His lively, yet soft piano playing is his trademark. And now, he has mixed his music with the sounds of the East. Clayderman, with his blonde hair and blue eyes, recently cooperated with China Broadcasting Chinese Orchestra (CBCO.中国广播民族乐团) to record his latest album "New Era" (), which was released across the world last Wednesday. "I have been intoxicated by Chinese folk music. It's a treasure worthy of being introduced to the world. I hope my piano and interpretation can bridge the West and the East," said the 49-year-old pianist. Some of the most famous folk music in China, including "Faraway Place" () and "Kang Ding Love Song" (), is interpreted by the pianist, who is also known as the "Prince of Romance". Clayderman has created a whirlwind of passion, which sweeps listeners off their feet and off to a faraway grassland. And for the first time in his life, Clayderman plays the piano alongside traditional Chinese instruments such as the erhu, pipa and flute . "The magic erhu works very well with the piano and helps to create a sense of quietness and mystery in the peaceful beauty of the music." To record "Cicada" (), a folk song of the Dong ethnic group , the musician made several visits to the mountainous villages where the Dong people live in Yunnan Province. "Cicada", he says, is a conversation between the piano and erhu. It is also a communication between western and traditional Chinese music. Clayderman is not the first western musician to be charmed by Chinese folk music. In 1992, Heinrich Schweizer, a composer in Switzerland, wrote the "East and West Symphony" () to celebrate the cultural meeting of China and the West. His work weaves Chinese traditional folk songs with classical Western music to produce an original orchestral sound. Traditional ways of life are disappearing in this fast developing world. So, combining the old with the new is important in keeping alive the great diversity of cultures. "This cooperation with western music is an efficient way to promote Chinese folk music to the world," said Zhang Gaoxiang, vice-director of CBCO.

       A story from the Bible tells of old Babylon, where the men decided to build a tower that would touch the sky. But God was unhappy, and he made them speak different languages. They couldn’t understand each other, so their dream never came true.

       Yet the dream remains alive: if all men speak the same language, they can do anything. L. L. Zamenhof from Poland was among the men who pursue this dream. He developed Esperanto（世界语）between 1877 and 1885.

       As the most successful man-made world language, it is spoken by over two million people around the world. Last month, the World Esperanto Congress（大会）, dealing with language rights, ended in Sweden. Most Esperanto speakers are in Central and Eastern Europe and in East Asia, particularly Chinese mainland.

       Esperanto has two advantages. First, it’s easy. Each letter has exactly one sound and there are just 16 basic grammar rules. The second advantage is that it belongs to no one country. But Esperanto has only reached a small number of people compared with natural languages widely used around the world---such as English or Chinese. While these languages are deeply connected with their nations and cultures, Esperanto doesn’t have this background.

Will Esperanto really become a global language? It remains a question.

72.   The writer tells us a story at the beginning to      .

explain why men have been making the effort to create a language shared by all

explain why men now speak different languages

show the relationship between man and God

prove that language is very important

73.   What does the underlined word “pursue” in the second paragraph mean?

“realize”.        B. “work for”.

“be against”.          D. “follow”.

74.   What is the basic difference between Esperanto and other natural languages?

More people speak English than Esperanto.

Esperanto words are easier to spell.

Esperanto has fewer grammar rules.

Esperanto is not supported by any country or culture.

75.   What does the story mainly talk about?

Advantages and disadvantages of Esperanto.

Man’s dream of sharing the same language has come true.
