       “Guys, remember. This competition is extremely difficult. There will only be a few selections to make it to the final round with the judges,” the music teacher, Mr. Brooks, explained. “But I hope all of you put your best foot forward and make our academy stand out!” The teacher was talking about a state-wide competition held by the best musicians in the area.
       Shahnaz, the new student who had only come to the class two weeks before, took the teacher’s words to heart and put her heart and soul into a composition. She had learned how to play the piano for a long time and really did well in it. She wanted to prove herself.
       All the students were supposed to improve their compositions with the help of their teacher, Mr. Brooks. However, he spent most of his time guiding the few outstanding students in his class.
       He never had much to say to Shahnaz unless it was a comment about her mistakes, but that didn’t stop her from wanting to impress him. He was a good piano player and could teach her a lot. She hoped that her composition would be improved under the guidance of Mr. Brooks.
       “OK,” Mr. Brooks said during one of his lessons, “it’s time for Shahnaz to play.” Shahnaz sat in front of the piano and began moving her fingers softly. She practiced and practiced once her composition was done and could almost play it by heart.
       Finally, the piece was finished. Shahnaz looked at Mr. Brooks nervously and hoped to receive his recognition. But he just sighed “Frankly, you made many mistakes. You shouldn’t take part in the competition.”

Musical instruments in China were     1    (traditional) classified (分类) into eight groups, according to the materials (材料) that were used     2    (create) them. The eight material groups were metal, stone, silk bamboo, gourd clay/earth, skin and wood.

Bamboo instruments mainly refer to woodwind (木管乐器) such as Sheng, Dizi and Xiao. Zhong, Luo and Bo are good     3     (example) of metal instruments. Silk instruments are mostly stringed instruments since silk is the material to string the instrument. A seven-stringed instrument,     4    (call) Guqin is one of the earliest stringed instruments in China. Today, it     5    (remain) quite popular. Here’s an example of a famous Guqin master, Prof. Li Xiangting,     6    (perform) a classical work Flowing Water on Guqin.

Instruments,     7     might seem part of the same family in the Western tradition, have different classifications in the Chinese tradition. For example, a percussion (打击) instrument made with skin, like Dagu (a large drum played with sticks) is in one group, while Fou (clay pot hit with a single stick) is in another.

Modern Chinese orchestras are organized along the same lines     8     Western orchestras in terms of group and seating arrangements of the instruments. The     9     (different) lies in the instruments being played. So a Chinese orchestra has a woodwind and strings section, but you’ll hardly find oboes (双簧管)     10     violins.

7 . Hundreds of years old and with a proud Scottish history, reeling(里尔舞) is a type of country dancing that is still popular. Performed by young and old dancers, it often involves at least two couples in each set. A couple is two individual people, either male or female, dancing together.

Scottish reeling is usually quite quick with dancers and couples changing positions, joining and linking with others and having to learn lots of fun moves and routines. It might look complicated to learn, but with practice you can soon pick up the basics. You learn from experienced dancers who will slowly walk you through the steps.

Reeling also means the type of traditional music that accompanies the dances. An accordion(手风琴) often sets the tune for dances. A violin, piano and drums can also be used.

Two of the basic types of steps are travelling and setting steps. Travelling steps move dancers around and include precise hops, skips and placing your feet in certain positions. Setting steps are used for dancing on the spot and typically require a dancer to take a small step to the side, then bring their other foot over and change weight to their other leg.

The circle is an easy dance move. Dancers in a set join hands in a circle and dance round to the left, before going back the other way to finish where they started. This is also known as the hands round-a “four hands round” is done by four dancers, a “six hands round” by six dancers. Other dance moves include the cast, corners, hands across and rights and lefts. You need to keep in time with the music as you dance, which is helped by following what your partner or the other people in your set do.
