Xu Yuanchong was a Chinese translator(翻译家). He is best known for his translations of ancient Chinese poems into English and French.
Xu’s translation career(生涯) began during his college years when he studied at the National Southwest Associated University in Kunming. In 1939, he translated a poem written by Chinese poet Lin Huiyin titled Don’t Cast Away, which is known as his earliest work. In the late 1940s, Xu went to France to study French literature(文学). Later he returned to China and began to work at Peking University.
While teaching at Peking University, Xu kept on his translation work. He was the first Chinese to translate Chinese poetry into English and French. For him, translated literature is a beautiful art. He once said, “The greatest joy on the earth is to introduce the beauty created by a people to the whole world.”
Xu paid much attention to the beauty of language. He would leave something out and add something to make the translated works more beautiful. But other translators thought that made his translation a bit different from the meaning of the source text(原作). Xu had many debates(辩论) with them. He said, “I’m not afraid, because the truth becomes clearer with each debate.”
Over the years, Xu’s beautiful translation works have acted as a cultural bridge connecting the East with the West, English- and French-speaking readers are able to better understand Chinese literature through Xu’s translations. At the same time, Chinese readers can enjoy foreign works in the same way as they read works written in Chinese.

Many of us have this experience: a piece of music keeps playing in our heads when we are awake. It turns out this can happen during sleep as well. And it can cause problems in getting to sleep and staying asleep.
“Our brains continue to process music even when none is playing, including while we are asleep,” said the neuroscientist(神经科学家) Michael Scullin. His research team surveyed(调查) 199 people and made a sleep test on 50 volunteers. They wanted to find out how listening to music, especially listening to earworms(洗脑音乐), before bedtime influenced our sleep.
In the survey, people who listened to music during the day were more likely to report nighttime earworms. That then had a bad influence on their sleep quality(质量) through the night.
For the lab test, volunteers were played several earworms and then their sleep quality was tested. Earworms were reported throughout the night. They needed longer time to fall asleep and woke up more times during the night.
We thought that people would have earworms at bedtime when they were trying to fall asleep, but we certainly didn’t know people would regularly(经常地) wake up from sleep with an earworm,” says Michael, “But we saw that in both the survey and the test.”
People used to believe that listening to music could help them have a better sleep, because it can relax the body. But Michael and his team suggested that it might be worse for our sleep — that even after the music stops, our brains continue to process it for several hours.
Michael suggested avoiding listening to music right before bed to limit the chance of a song taking hold in our minds. “Doing some other activities, like making a list of jobs for the next day, might help clear the mind,” Michael said.
31. Michael and his team did the research to find out _______.
A. the influence of earworms on our sleep
B. why nighttime earworms happen
C. the influence of bad sleep on our health
32. What was the new discovery about listening to earworms in the research
A. It would make people stay up late.
B. It would make people have earworms at bedtime.
C. It would make people wake up more often at night.
33. The underlined word “limit” has the closest meaning to “_______”.
A. control B. increase C. share
34. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A. Listening to music before going to bed is good for health.
B. People can do some sports to relax the body before sleeping.
C. The more we listen to music, the worse sleep we may have.
35. What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To help readers improve sleep quality.
B. To tell readers about the recent research.
C. To ask readers to stop listening to music.
