It is believed that the earliest chopsticks were developed over 5,000 years ago in China. In the Spring and Autumn Period, metal (金属) chopsticks appeared1 (appear). Today we have chopsticks made of2 different materials (材料).
In ancient times, the rich usually used hard green stone or gold chopsticks for showing their wealth3 (wealth). It was said that silver chopsticks would turn black if they touched poisoned (有毒的) food (but we know it was wrong today), so in history many kings used them to see whether4 the food was bad for them or not.
In China, chopsticks are given5 (give) to a daughter when she marries to express the wish that she will have6 (have) a child very soon, because the word in Chinese is pronounced like "quick child". People often believe chopsticks mean good luck. So on7 the first day of a new year, many families will put new chopsticks on the table at dinner, wishing for good luck.
It's believed that using8 (use) chopsticks at dinner is very helpful in making your fingers do9 (do) everything freely. It can improve memory, too. Now many westerners10 (west) put the knives and forks beside their bowls and dishes but choose chopsticks in China.

As we often use eyes to touch nature, most of us "lose" the ability to listen to the world.
Peter writes music. He likes sounds and uses natural sounds as part of his music. He often went out to the wild with his microphone and recorded interesting sounds to put in movies or to use in his own songs. Instead of trying to capture just the sound of one animal or bird, he recorded the sound of everything all together—the animals, the trees, the wind and the earth. He called these recordings "soundscapes"—the sound of a certain place. Every soundscape Peter recorded had a lot of information.
Back in his workshop, Peter used a computer to make a picture of all the sounds going on in a place. Each animal, bird and insect had its own place on the picture—its own notes in the music. The busier the picture is, the richer the life in that place is. "While a picture may be worth 1,000 words, a soundscape is worth 1,000 pictures," Peter said. "Our ears tell us the sound of every leaf and animal and speak to the natural sources (来源) of our lives, which may hold the secrets of love for all things, especially our own humanity."
But not everything is satisfying. When Peter began recording over forty years ago, he could record for ten hours and get one hour of usable material good enough for a movie. Now, because of human activities, it can take up to 1,000 hours or more to get the same thing. Some of the places he has recorded over the years have slowly fallen silent. His sound pictures show that although nature might look the same to humans, it has lost part of its orchestra (管弦乐队).
So next time you are in the forests, try another way to look—shut your eyes, and listen.
(C)1. Why did Peter record natural sounds?
A. To write songs for a music group.
B. To discover rich lives in the forest.
C. To use some of them in his music.
D. To make music about birds singing.

A. Shut.

A. The sound of every leaf and animal in nature.
B. The sound recorded in the natural environment.
C. A picture of music with sounds of 1,000 animals.
D. A picture of music with natural sounds in a place.
(C)4. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Recording sounds needs less material.
B. Sound pictures are the same as before.
C. Some beautiful sounds in nature are lost.
D. Human activities improve recording results.
(B)5. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?

答案： 四、1. C 【点拨】根据“He often went out to the wild with his microphone and recorded interesting sounds to put in movies or to use in his own songs.”可知，Peter录制大自然声音是为了在他的音乐中使用这些声音。故选C。
2. B 【点拨】根据“Instead of trying to capture just the sound of one animal or bird, he recorded the sound of everything all together—the animals, the trees, the wind and the earth.”可知他没有试图只捕捉一种动物或鸟类的声音，而是把所有东西的声音都记录下来，故此处画线单词意为“捕捉”，和catch意义相近。故选B。
3. D 【点拨】根据“Peter used a computer to make a picture of all the sounds going on in a place. Each animal, bird and insect had its own place on the picture—its own notes in the music”可知“sound picture”是指用计算机制作的包含某个地方所有声音的图片，即包含自然声音的音乐图片。故选D。
4. C 【点拨】根据“Now, because of human activities, it can take up to 1,000 hours or more to get the same thing. Some of the places he has recorded over the years have slowly fallen silent.”可知由于人类活动的影响，一些大自然声音已经逐渐消失。故选C。
5. B 【点拨】本文主要讲述了Peter通过录制大自然声音来创作音乐，并强调了大自然声音的丰富性和重要性，所以文章主要告诉我们大自然有奇妙的声音。故选B。
