A blog by Sascha Marr, aged 14
My hobby is making shoes. I've always liked designing things. I remember drawing clothes and shoes when I was eight, and I made my first skirt aged nine. At eleven, I started making shoes, and I now spend my free time doing that.
I became interested in making shoes when my cousin told me about an online shoe making course that he was doing. I immediately wanted to do one too. Mom booked (为……预约) me on a four day course at the I Can Make Shoes school in London to see if I liked it, and then I did a ten day course there in the summer holidays.
I loved the courses. On the longer one, I made four pairs of shoes! I couldn't believe it. The teachers were excellent. That's what was best about the classes. They made us work really hard but they wanted all their students to have fun, too.
I've made about 15 pairs of shoes now. At the moment I'm making a pair of training shoes using an old pair of jeans, but I've used all kinds of different things before, from old leather(皮革)handbags to old cotton dresses!
Making shoes has changed my plans for the future. I know now that I want to be a designer, but not a shoe designer. I've decided I'll do home design. I've designed lots of shoes and also some clothes, so I'd like to try something new.
41. What did Sascha begin to make at the age of 11
A. B.
C. D.
42. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. The courses. B. The teachers.
C. The classes. D. The students.
43. What does Sascha plan to be in the future
A. A shoe designer.
B. A handbag designer.
C. A dress designer.
D. A home designer.

①The word “zhiyin”, which means close friends, comes from the story of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi in the Warring States Period.
②Boya was good at playing the guqin. One day, he was playing music on his way home on the boat. To Boya's surprise, Ziqi, a woodcutter who happened to pass by, could understand exactly what he wanted to express (表达) through his music. After a long talk, they became good friends. Since Boya had to return to his state, they agreed to meet again in the following year.
③Unfortunately, when getting back to visit Ziqi, Boya heard that his friend had died of a disease. Boya was so sad and in front of Ziqi's tomb(墓), he played again the music he had played when they first met. The feeling of the music was so strong as if the rivers and the mountains were crying. When finishing playing, Boya broke his guqin into pieces. From then on, Boya never played again.
④People in the Song Dynasty built the Guqin Tai in Hanyang in memory of the deep friendship between Boya and Ziqi. It became an important part of the local culture.

①On January 4th, the China National Traditional Orchestra (中央民族乐团)played some well known traditional music at their concert. Audiences (观众)enjoyed the beautiful sounds of guzheng, the powerful tunes of suona, the tearful notes of erhu and so on. Each traditional Chinese musical instrument tells its own story.
②“I've fallen in love with the sounds of traditional instruments, especially pipa, a four string (弦) instrument with a history of more than 2,000 years. It can produce different sounds, such as the sounds of falling snow and raindrops. Every time I listen to a pipa tune, I have a strong feeling of peace,” said Yang Tian, one of the audience of the concert.
③However,a recent report suggests the number of traditional music listeners is dropping. To wake up people's love for traditional music, something creative has been done.
④In some traditional music concerts, VR(虚拟现实)technology is used to bring the starry sky or the beautiful sandy view of Dunhuang to the music hall. It makes the experience like watching a 3D movie.
