How can you remember a song for a long time Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English There is a scientific reason for this.
Researchers (研究者) are studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. “Singing could be a new way of learning, especially for a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things in a catchy (悦耳易记的) and relaxing way. For example, children can remember difficult words quickly when they are in a song,” said Dr. Karen Ludke. If children find it difficult to learn foreign languages, this new way may help. On his blog (博客), Dr. Ludke wrote “A listen—and—repeat singing way can help to learn foreign languages and open the door for future research in this area.”
Many language teachers know the importance of music and they often use it in teaching and learning. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington DC, likes using songs in teaching Chinese. She said, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics. Not only does it work, but it is fun for children. Sometimes I think if I learned English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better.”
Our brain likes music in learning languages, especially for remembering. If you are still having problems in learning a language, why not try singing it out

Zigong, in Sichuan Province is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world.
“Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.” Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography (全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements.
What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart.
The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, at the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future.

根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Giving Directions in Different Places
If you ask people from different countries “Could you tell me the way to the post office ”, you will get different answers.
In Japan, people use landmarks instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. 21 The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say, “Go north two miles. 22 ”
People in Greece sometimes don’t even try to give directions. They’ll often say, “Follow me.” 23
Sometimes if a person doesn’t know the answer to your question, he or she, like a New Yorker, might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” 24 They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan!
25 You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the correct direction. Go on in that direction and you may find the post office!
A．Turn east, and then go another mile.
B．But one thing will help you everywhere.
C．People there think “I don’t know” is not polite.
D．Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.
E．Because they don’t want to talk much with strangers.

61．例文
Dear Tom,
I’m sorry to hear that you have difficulty with English learning. Don’t worry, many students face similar challenges. I used to struggle too, especially with listening. When I couldn’t understand others, I felt very anxious. My advice is to listen as much as possible-English songs, movies, or short stories. Practice makes perfect! Don’t be afraid of making grammar mistakes. I used to avoid speaking for the same reason, but trying to speak more, even with errors, really helped me improve. Remember, everyone makes mistakes when learning! For reading and pronunciation, I found reading aloud every day very useful. It builds speed and helps correct pronunciation. Taking notes on new words and reviewing them often is key too. Maybe joining an English club would give you more practice. Keep trying, Tom! You can do it!
Best wishes,
Henry
