A dance performance taken from the poetic dance drama（诗意舞剧）Poetic Dance: The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting《只此青绿》has been considered（被认为）the most amazing program at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
The creators（创作者）of the poetic dance drama got inspiration（灵感）from a great ancient Chinese painting, A Panorama of Mountains and Rivers《千里江山图》by Wang Ximeng. Wang was a painter from the Song Dynasty.

Pets like dogs and cats are usually popular with people. If you keep a dog or a cat, do you always turn on the radio or TV when you’re not in just because you don’t want your pet to be lonely (孤单的) A study shows that around 40% of the British people with dogs would like to turn the radio and that 32% would like to turn on the television. But do pets really like this
Sometimes dogs do respond (作出反应) to human (人类) music. A study shows that when there is light music playing, many dogs seem to be quiet. When it comes to rock music, those dogs seem to be very excited; they make little response to popular music and human talk.
For cats, they hardly (几乎不) respond to human music because their hearing spectrum (频谱) is different from that of humans, so what they hear when they listen to our music is different from what we hear. Some studies show that cats respond to the sounds within their own hearing spectrum. Scientists once tried to see what would happen if they played “cat music” for the cats. They asked Professor (教授) David Teie to make special music for cats. And it showed that when they’re playing it to 47 cats, some cats did respond to it.
So, you’d better play different music for your pets. Good news for cat lovers is that you can buy such special cat music online. David Teie once took part in the cat study and he wrote cat music for sale online.
