For many old persons, just walking across a room can consume them of all their energy for the day. In hot weather, they may not even make them out of bed. Learning to conserve energy is not a complicated process, yet it can make a world of difference.
Learning to perform tasks efficiently and to minimize energy expense requires mental organization. Before an elderly person gets up and does something, she needs to stop and think about what else she can do at the same time.
For example, getting dressed in the morning could require several trips to the closet. She should stop and think about all the things she needs to gather from the closet. She should gather them all at once instead of getting clothes out, putting them on, then going and getting a belt and looking for shoes. Going in and out of the closet several times requires a lot of activities and energy: gathering all of the items at one time and dressing in order can take a few simpler steps.
Grooming (梳洗) can be scattered by first brushing her teeth, then getting dressed, then going back to the bathroom and washing her face and combing her hair. They should perform all tasks in one location and then move on to the next area and tasks. Make sure they take a break and rest between tasks. When cooking, they should gather supplies at one time, perform the work, and then put away what is no longer needed. They should cook the food, sit down to eat, and then clear up.
There are many other aspects of energy conservation, including breathing techniques and rest and relaxation tips. Rearranging space such as kitchen chained contents and household furniture can be helpful in making energy conservation work more efficiently.

The music style of “China Wind” has become more and more popular thanks to Jay Chou. It has changed the music market in China which used to be full of Western style music.
“China Wind” is produced by using traditional Chinese instruments and Western instruments. Lyrics may be in the form of Chinese poetry and discuss themes related to Chinese history and culture. Each person has a different understanding of “China Wind”， but it gives us a feeling when hearing the music that you can connect it with Chinese cultural elements (元素) and tastes.
These songs of “China Wind”are of course not the first ones with Chinese style. In the 1980s, there was a “North west Wind” blowing in the mainland of China. Several years ago, a singer named Dao Lang with his north west style music was very popular among Chinese. However，“China Wind” in the present Chinese music field mainly refers to Hong Kong and Taiwan musicians such as Jay Chou, David Tao and Lee Hom Wang. After years of learning about Western music like R & B and rap, they created a new style of music full of both western music elements and Chinese music elements.
“A ‘China Wind’ song is a must in each of my albums.”Jay's promise is to meet the needs of Chinese pop music market at present. Jay's “China Wind” music such as Faraway, Chrysanthemum Terrace always tops the latest music download charts (排行榜). From Wife in his first album to Nunchucks and Dragon Fist, Jay continues to show how rap can be made in Chinese style.
语篇解读：中西合璧的音乐风格“中国风”对中国流行音乐市场产生了巨大的冲击力。由于它给听众带来全新的视听效果，所以才会深深扎根于流行乐坛。

A．he was the first person to sing Chinese style songs
B．there were other Chinese style songs before Jay's
C．he is as important as Jay Chou in music style
D．there are different kinds of music
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知，“中国风”并不是最早出现的具有中国特色的音乐风格。然后本段第二、三句中举例：20世纪80年代在中国大陆出现了“西北风”；几年前曾出现了一个具有中国西北歌曲风格的歌手——刀郎。因此文章列举刀郎的目的是为了说明在“周杰伦风格”之前还有其他的具有中国特色的歌曲出现，故选B项。
9．Which statement about “China Wind” is TRUE
A．It makes use of Western musical instruments.
B．It was created in response to the world pop music market.
C．It is more popular in Hong Kong than in the mainland of China.

10．Which of the following is the most popular song according to the latest music download charts
A．Wife. B．Nunchucks.
C．Dragon Fist. D．Chrysanthemum Terrace.
