strange write sad deep music

Last night one of my Chinese friends took me to a concert of Chinese folk music. The piece which was played on the erhu especially moved me. The music

was 【1】 beautiful, but under the beauty I sensed a strong 【2】 and pain. The piece had a simple name, Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on Second Spring), but it was one of the most 【3】 pieces of music that I’ve ever heard. The erhu sounded so sad that I almost cried along with it as I listened. Later I looked up the history of Erquan Yingyue, and I began to understand the sadness in the music.

The music was 【4】 by Abing. A folk musician who was born in the city of Wuxi in 1893. His mother died when he was very young. Abing’s father taught him to play many 【5】 instruments, such as the drums, dizi and erhu, and by age 17, Abing was known for his musical ability. However, after his father died, Abing’s life grew 【6】. He was very poor. Not only that, he developed a serious illness and became blind. For several years, he had no home. He lived on the streets and played music to make money. Even after Abing got 【7】 and had a home again, he continued to sing and play on the streets. He performed in this way for many years. Abing’s 【8】 musical skills made him very popular during his lifetime. By the end of his life, he could play over 600 pieces of music. Many of these were written by Abing himself. It is a pity that only six pieces of music in total were recorded for the future world to hear, but his popularity continues to this day. Today, Abing’s Erquan Yomgyue is a piece which all the great erhu masters play and praise. It has become one of China’s【9】 treasures. Its sad beauty not only paints a picture of Abing’s own life but also makes people recall their 【10】 wounds from their own sad or painful experiences.

English language learners use the verbs “study” and “l(fā)earn” all the time. Yet, they often are unsure which to choose in a situation. Our subject today comes from Salah of Yemen. The writer asks:

Question:

I would like to know the difference between “study” and “l(fā)earn.” Thanks!

– Salah, Yemen

Answer:

Hello, Salah, and thanks for your note!

Let’s begin with the dictionary meaning of each word. These are from the Merriam-Webster Learner’s Dictionary:

To study means to read, memorize facts or attend school in order to learn about a subject.

To learn means to gain knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught or experiencing something.

So, studying is just one way of learning. But it is not the only way.

Learn

Sometimes, we learn through experience. For example, if you travel to Thailand, you can visit a lot of sights, try the traditional foods and talk to the local people. By the time you leave, you will have gained a lot of knowledge about the country. So, you can say, “I learned so much about Thailand!”

You could not say, “I studied so much about Thailand!” because your actions did not mainly involve reading, memorizing facts, taking a course, attending school or something similar.

Study

In addition, when you study something, you have not learned it yet.

And, sometimes, you can even study something without learning it. For example, if you say, “I studied English,” it may mean you took English classes. Or maybe you tried to teach yourself through an app or language website.

But maybe you had difficulty with this and still do not know how to speak the language. In that situation, you could not say, “I learned English,” because that would mean you had gained enough knowledge to use it.

Examples

If the difference between “l(fā)earn” and “study” is not clear yet, here are a few sentences that compare them:

They learned how to write stories in the new writing class.

They spent time studying the techniques of story-writing.

Where did you learn how to bake so well?

Did you study baking in school?

And one last tip for remembering the difference is this expression: “I studied but I did not learn anything.”

And that’s Ask a Teacher. I’m Alice Bryant.

【1】Who are often unsure of how to choose “study” or “l(fā)earn” in a situation?

【2】What does study mean from the Merriam-Webster Learner’s Dictionary?

【3】When can you say “I learned so much about Thailand”?

【4】What do you mean by saying “I studied English”?

【5】Which expression can help to remember the difference between “study” and “l(fā)earn”?

You may wonder: how do the ears work? The ear has three different parts: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. The outer ear is the part you can see. It collects sound around you. The sound then travels down to the middle ear, the inner ear and then to your brain.

Your ears never stop working, even when you are asleep! Your ears continue hearing sounds, but your brain just ignores(忽視) them. That’s why you may sometimes wake up suddenly in the middle of the night—your brain hears something, but you don’t know what it is, since you are asleep.

More surprisingly, ears even help with tasting food. Of course, you don’t actually taste food with your ears. But there are nerves running through the middle ear that connect the tongue(舌頭) to the brain. If something happens to your ears, you may have a hard time telling different tastes apart, according to the website of People’s Daily.

The ears are truly important organs with many functions(功能,作用). You should make sure to protect your own ears as well as you can. There are some Dos and Don’ts you need to know.

First of all, when the sun is shining, wear some sunscreen on your ears. And during winter, cover your ears with a hat or a scarf. Secondly, dry your ears with a towel after swimming or having a bath. If you feel water in your ear, shake your head a little bit. This can help you get the water out of your ear.

Besides, don’t listen to music on your earphones for too long. Follow the 60: 60 rule: listen to music at 60 percent of the maximum volume(最大音量) for no more than 60 minutes a day. Also, it’s not a good idea to share earphones with friends. When you have only one earphone, you might turn the volume up too high, since one earphone isn’t loud enough.

【1】Which is TRUE according to the passage?

A.The outer ear is the most important part.

B.We can still know what is happening when we are asleep.

C.We’d better not use one earphone when we listen to music.

D.We can still taste food with ears if our tongue doesn’t work.

【2】We can protect our ears by_________.

A.wearing no sunscreen on sunny days

B.listening to the singing of birds outside

C.washing our ears with a towel after swimming

D.covering our ears with a scarf in cold weather

【3】What are paragraph 2, 3 and 4 mainly about?

A.Why we celebrate Ear Care Day.B.The protections of ears.

C.Why we can hear sound.D.The functions of ears.

Building blocks can help children practice their languages. Most children talk to each other as they build things with these traditional toys. When some kids don’t know how to build things, they will also ask others for help.

In addition, this type of toy also helps develop the skills that children need in life. As they begin to join groups playing with building blocks, they learn to take turns, share, and solve problems with others.

However, these are not the only advantages of playing building blocks. Building blocks help develop children’s skills in math and science as well. They allow children to work according to the steps of scientific discovery. They are first to watch and to think, and then to test. Both traditional and modern toy building blocks come in different shapes, colors and sizes. These types of building blocks encourage children to develop skills in dividing things.
