Like many f the arts, music flurished during the Zhu dynasty. Frm this perid we have instruments, mdels f perfrmers, descriptins f musicians and dancers, and the Shijing, r The Bk f Petry, which cntains pems and sngs f curt and cmmn peple during the Zhu dynasty. It is likely that music played an extremely imprtant rle in the Zhu dynasty fr all scial classes.
One f the mst imprtant surces f infrmatin the researchers have regarding Zhu-dynasty music is frm the tmb f the Marquis Yi f Zeng (433 ). This tmb was uncvered in 1977 in Hubei Prvince and cntained the mst extensive and well-preserved set f musical instruments ever fund in an ancient Chinese tmb. This fur-chamber (室) tmb was designed in imitatin f a palace with a central curtyard, reflecting the belief that the Marquis Yi wuld require the same cmfrts in the afterlife that he had enjyed during his lifetime. The central chamber f the tmb, which mirrred a palace curtyard, cntained mst f the musical instruments fund, including a cmplete set f sixty-five graduated bells fixed n wden shelves. In additin, twenty-ne yung wmen were buried with the Marquis Yi, sme f whm were likely his favrite musicians and dancers.
The Marquis Yi’s set f sixty-five bells is remarkable fr a variety f reasns. First, they are clearly dated—an inscriptin (碑文) indicates that the bells were a gift given t him in 433 Secnd, the bells were very expensive t prduce and t purchase, particularly a set f this size, s they are further evidence f the Marquis Yi’s status. Finally, the bells, alng with the ther instruments in the rm, illustrate what an instrumental band might have cnsisted f during this perid. Schlars predict that it wuld have required twenty-fur musicians t play all instruments at nce.
There are still many gaps in ur knwledge f ancient Chinese music, partly because there was n system fr recrding music in a written frm.
4. The Bk f Petry is mentined in paragraph 1 t _______.
A. shw the significance f the bk.
B. describe the meaning f the bk.
C. represent the life f peple in the Zhu dynasty.
D. shw the ppularity f music in the Zhu dynasty.
5. Accrding t the passage, what can we knw abut the tmb?
A. It cntains a cmplete set f musical instruments.
B. It is designed by the Marquis Yi f Zeng.
C. It is f the same size as that f the palace.
D. It reflects the wish f the Marquis Yi fr his life after death.
6 Why is the set f sixty-five bells extrardinary?
A. Because it nce was an expensive gift.
B. Because it was difficult t buy at that time.
C. Because it might prve the Marquis Yi’s psitin.
D. Because it needs twenty-fur perfrmers t play at the same time.
7. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. A lk int the Zhu-dynasty Music.B. An Invaluable Tmb.

Emplyed as an apprentice(学徒)chef, she was ne f just tw wmen in the kitchen – the ther’s sle jb was t beat eggs. “She was unbelievably fast at beating eggs.

“Yes, there is a physical barrier but I think the mental barrier may be mre bstructive(阻碍的)t the increase f wmen in Chinese kitchens,”Chan adds. “It isn’t just abut hw much yu want it but hw much hard wrk yu’re willing t put int it. There are days when yu feel like yur arms are falling apart and yu can’t mve them anymre, but the next day, yu’re strnger and may be able t wrk a heavier wrk.”

Zhang Yng, a hardware engineer frm an IC cmpany in Beijing, als said nw might be a glden age fr the IC industry in China and the yung generatin will get mre pprtunities t play t their talents.
“Fr students, IC can be an interesting area t explre in the future,” Zhang said. He explained that making a chip is like building a huse. “Starting frm zer, engineers can cmplete a wrk ttally by their wn design. Since IC is still an emerging area, the wrk can be challenging and innvative, giving the designers a full sense f accmplishment.”
