The erhu is a traditional(传统的) Chinese musical instrument.It is the most popular of the huqin family.In the Song Dynasty(宋朝),musicians began to use this type of huqin to play different kinds of music,and it became quite a popular instrument.With the rise of some folk art,the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.It became an important instrument in different folk music.Now it is used in both traditional and modern music.
The erhu used to be mainly played by common people.Though the playing skills were passed down,there are few written records about the erhu that can be found.To study the history and the development of the erhu,historians usually turn to old paintings,sculptures(雕塑) and murals(壁画).The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves in Gansu Province.
Because of so many people’s hard work,the erhu becomes more and more popular around the world.In fact,we can hear the sound of the erhu in many famous movies,such as KungFu Panda in 2012 and Up in the Air in 2023.When people watch these movies,they also enjoy the special music of the erhu.
The erhu is also called “Chinese violin” by many westerners,but in many ways,they are quite different.

When we watch sports games,we often notice sportsmen wearing earphones before the game.They keep their eyes shut,and nod along with the music.It seems the music is giving them power and cheering them up for the game.But is there any science behind such practices
According to a new research,it turns out there is.Music makes us feel powerful,but not all songs have the same effect(效果).
The research was led by an American researcher named Dennis.His team had people listen to 31 songs of different types.The listeners felt powerful after listening to some songs,for example,Queen’s We Will Rock You.
Researchers also found that high-power music made people want to take control in social events and come first in competition.
Great sportsmen know this idea well.NBA player Kobe Bryant,for example,often put on big headphones and even fell into deep thought to boost his game and have fewer worries.
Why does music have magical power Dennis’s team explained:when people hear music that expresses a sense of power,they mimic(模拟) these feelings in their minds.
When choosing music,we also need to look at the type of music,according to researchers.
In the research by the Music in Exercise and Sports Group at Brunel University in London,they found that pop was perfect for slower tasks.If you’re warming up or cooling down after exercise,pop songs are the correct choice.Dance music was found to be best suitable for strength and weight training.
66.What does the writer mainly want to do in the first paragraph
A.Tell people music can help them win.
B.Explain why music is important before games.
C.Describe sportsmen’ habits before the game starts.
D.Get readers to think if music is important in sports.
67.Which of the following might Dennis agree with
A.Powerful music makes the game interesting.
B.Sportsmen should listen to music before games.
C.People felt powerful after listening to some songs.
D.The result of a game is mainly influenced by music.
68.What does the underlined word “boost” probably mean
A.Lose. B.Improve.
C.Control. D.Continue.
69.How does the writer make his points clear
A.By giving examples.
B.By using English sayings.
C.By giving common rules.
D.By comparing the researches.
70.Which is the proper title for the text
A.Different Kinds of Music
B.Coming First in Competition
C.Some Meaningful Researches
D.Influence of Music in Sports
