Understanding the story
Read the short article on page 20 and answer
the following questions.
1. What did people think of the music of Boya
2. Why did Boya never get tired of sharing his music
with Zhong Ziqi
Everyone enjoyed listening to his music and thought
highly of his techniques.
Because Zhong Ziqi was the only person that really
understood his music.
Below is a story about a musician and his friend in ancient China.
Find the sentences that use verb-ing forms as subjects and fill
in the table below. The first one has been done for you.
In China’s Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, there lived a man named
Boya, who was a master of the qin. Playing the qin was his life. He played so well
that everyone enjoyed listening to his music and thought highly of his techniques.
However, Boya believed no one could understand his music until he met Zhong Zigi.
Boya did not say anything before playing the qin, yet Zhong Ziqi was able to paint a
picture of great mountain ranges in his mind. When Boya continued playing, Zhong
Ziqi said he had heard the sound of a river flowing quickly. In fact, Boya had intended
to call the piece High Mountains and Flowing Water. Having someone that really
understood his music pleased Boya, who never got tired of sharing his music with
Zhong Ziqgi. The two soon became great friends and before going their separate
ways, they agreed to meet at the Mid-Autumn Festival the next year. However, Zhong
Ziqi failed to show up on that day. When Boya learnt about Zhong Ziqi’s death, he
was overcome with sorrow. He played High Mountains and Flowing Water in front of
Zhong Ziqi’s grave. After he finished playing the piece, he destroyed the qin and said, “Since the only person that understands my music is gone, it’s no use keeping the
qin.”

Homework
Write several sentences about what kind of
music you like best and explain the reasons,
using verb-ing forms correctly.
I like listening to pop music best because of the lyrics, which can be
very inspiring. Buying newly-released albums of my favourite singers always excited me. On my way to school or back home, I usually
listen to my collection, which makes the journey more relaxing. I
spend most of my spare time enjoying music too, instead of watching
TV or surfing the Internet. Playing some of my best-loved songs like “My Heart Will Go On”, “Hero” and “You Raise Me Up”, really
makes my day.
