We know many musical instruments well, such as pianos, violins, drums and so on. What about the erhu The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history.
The modern erhu developed from the xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities (少数名族)during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and it became quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue.
As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down orally (口头的), there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians（历史学者）usually turn to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were discovered on murals（壁画）.

As usual, Amber was hurrying to catch the yellow school bus. Luckily the traffic lights turned green as she was to cross the road, so she made it. When the bus passed a restaurant, they reminded her of a hamburger. She hadn't had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn't look delicious at all. However, Amber remembered that she was still on a diet. So now she was really in a black mood.
You may have noticed that several colours were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber's morning. In fact, colours influence your life more than you can ever imagine. Take language for example, you may describe a sick person as being "a bit green". To describe a depressed person, you say that the person is "feeling blue". In short, colours do add interest to daily conversations.
Besides, colours can be used in many parts of your daily life. Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow, and stop signs red Since yellow is the most eye-catching colour, it can catch people's attention, especially in heavy traffic. As for red, it is the colour which usually shows warning, as a result, some traffic signs use this colour. For the same reason, hot-water taps are usually marked red.
The colours of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat. Most fast-food restaurants are often decorated in bright colours such as red, yellow, orange, and white for the purpose of increasing people's appetites (胃口 ). This is because bright colours are natural colours found in many foods, and, therefore, able to raise people's spirits. Blue, in comparison with bright colours, is said to lower people's appetites because few foods are blue in nature. For those who are on a diet, blue dishes and bowls might help!
"Morning, Amber! What happened You look a bit green," said Violet, Amber's best friend.
"Nothing ... just feeling ... blue," said Amber.
"Hey! Come to my place tonight. Do you know what I just bought A game player. It's red-hot."
Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play with the game player and said, "Sounds great!"
( )16. According to the passage, if you are on a diet,____________ might help.
A. putting your food in a blue dish or bowl
B. turning on a yellow light during the meal
C. painting the walls of the dining room white
D. covering the dining table with an orange cloth
( )17. Most school buses are painted yellow because_____________
A. it tells other drivers to prepare to stop
B. it helps bus drivers stay in a good mood
C. it can easily catch other people's attention
D. it is the colour that most school children like
( )18. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Amber looked ill when Violet saw her first.
B. Amber ate up all her fruit salad in the morning.
C. Amber refused to go to Violet's house in the end.
D. Amber didn't catch the school bus and was late for school.
( ) 19. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage
A. Colours influence people's daily lives.
B. Most fast-food restaurants are painted grey.
C. Different colours are used for different purposes.
D. Colours make daily conversations more interesting.
( )20. What can we infer from the passage
A. Amber was not fat at all.
