Pipa，a traditional Chinese string(弦) musical instrument with a history of over 2，000 years，has always been popular among Chinese children who learn music．
The diversity(多样性) of its sounds and the beautiful look have drawn so many music lovers．
A summer camp，founded by pipa player Zhang Hongyan has been held at the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing to teach pipa to children．
As part of the annual(每年的) Gateway to Music Festival，one of Beijing's biggest art festivals for children that has been staged during the summer vacation since 1995，the pipa summer camp marked its 13th year in 2024．
On July 13th，over 70 children performed at the Forbidden City Concert Hall after a three day long training．Coming from Shandong，Shanxi and Fujian provinces and Beijing，the children，from those who have learned to play the pipa for several years to those who touched the musical instrument for the first time，displayed their skills on stage．Music works，such as Dance of the Yi People and Sun of Homeland，were performed．
Zhang was very happy to see many young Chinese people love to play the pipa．She said，“Arts education is a key aspect(方面) of what we do as professional musicians and educators．Teaching helps not only the students a lot，but also the teachers in many ways．”
“It's an important experience for children who have never played the pipa to have an access(接触的机会) to the ancient musical instrument through taking part in the summer camp．Some of the children even decided to take pipa as a professional career in the future，” added Zhang proudly．
(　B　)1．What does the underlined word “drawn” mean in Paragraph 2
A．Refused． B．Interested．
C．Educated． D．Changed．
解析：词义猜测题。根据“Pipa...has always been popular among Chinese children who learn music．”可知，琵琶一直深受中国学习音乐的孩子们的喜爱，因此琵琶声音的多样性和美丽的外观“吸引”了众多音乐爱好者。
(　B　)2．When was the summer camp founded by Zhang Hongyan
A．In 1995． B．In 2011．
C．In 2023． D．In 2024．
解析：数字计算题。根据“the pipa summer camp marked its 13th year in 2024”可知，琵琶夏令营在2024年夏天迎来了第13个年头，因此琵琶夏令营成立于2011年。
(　A　)3．Which of the following is NOT true about the children on stage
A．Their skills were on the same level．
B．They came from different parts of China．
C．There were more than 70 children in total．
D．They were trained at the camp for three days．
解析：细节理解题。根据“the children，from those who have learned to play the pipa for several years to those who touched the musical instrument for the first time，displayed their skills on stage”可知，孩子们有学琵琶多年的，也有第一次接触琵琶的，所以他们的水平不一样。
(　D　)4．What did Zhang think of the summer camp
A．It was useless for teachers．
B．It was a pity for the students．
C．It was a painful experience for her．
D．It was meaningful for some children．

To many Chinese，playing traditional Chinese musical instruments，such as the guzheng or the erhu，may seem a bit old fashioned．But there are musicians play these instruments and mix them with modern sounds．
One of these artists is Brad Seippel．He is a 33 year old producer from the American city of New Orleans．Seippel has been playing music since he was just 12 years old．But it was not until he was 24 and lived in China that he learned to play the pipa．
“When I was young，my father encouraged me to play the bass guitar．A bass guitar has four strings，and so does the pipa，so for me it was natural，” he said．Seippel's music is mainly electronic and sounds quite modern．But the pipa lets him add a unique element to his music．
“I make music on computers and for some people that can be very boring．I want to add something more lively and physical to the music，” he said．“Chinese musicians are bringing back traditional music as well． Nine Treasures is a heavy metal band from Inner Mongolia．They use Mongolian throat singing(呼麦)and a horse head fiddle(马头琴) to add a folk flavor to their rock songs．I've seen them play live many times myself—it is truly a powerful mix．”
