    Many people believe that classical music is not relevant music is not relevant to young people today . However, this issue (问题) frequently causes heated debate.

    Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people .For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert , the majority is over the age of fifty.

    Others say it is more popular than we first imagine . Many young people listen to classical music without realising .It is often used in films and advertisements. For example.a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup . Not many people could have given its name , but millions enjoyed it .

    Also,some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap(说唱)music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.

    However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practise for hours. Nowadays, you don't need to get aching arms from practising. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.

    A final point to in mind is that the term "classical music" is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces  for large orchestras(管弦乐队).This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.

    So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments , but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realise!

    Everyone may make mistakes in his life, no matter how old he is. But not everyone knows what to do with them, especially the young people. Here is a story for you. You may find out the answer.

    There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm. He was playing with a slingshot(弹弓) in the woods one day. He practiced a lot, but he could never hit his target(目标). He felt bored and went back for dinner.

    As he was walking back, he saw Grandma's pet duck. He used his slingshot one more time. He hit the duck in the head and killed it. He was very sad and afraid. He hid the dead duck in the woods. Then he saw his sister watching him. Sally saw it all, but she said nothing. After lunch that day Grandma said, “Sally, let's wash the dishes.” But Sally said, “Grandma, Johnny told me that he wanted to help in the kitchen today, didn't you, Johnny?” and then she said to him in a low voice, “Remember, the duck!” So Johnny washed the dishes.

    After several days of doing both his housework and Sally's, Johnny couldn't stand it any longer. He told Grandma that he killed the duck. She smiled, “I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw what you did. But I just wanted to know how long you would be your sister's slave(奴隶).”

    My friends, have you ever made such mistakes? As the saying goes, “Who can make no mistakes?” Next time when you do something wrong, you'd better say sorry to others. Others may forgive you, too.

漂流异邦的古代中国人

姚大力

    如果不把商亡后箕子东奔朝鲜的传说以及对“徐复东渡”结局的猜测算在内,今天可以确切地指出的最早漂流到今中国境外的我们的先人,就应当是西汉前期活动在“大宛”国(在今中亚费尔干纳盆地)的“秦人”了。据《史记·大宛传》,当西汉军队围攻大宛的国都时,这些“秦人”在被断绝了水源的围城之中帮助守军“穿井”。从司马迁在另一处提到为大宛等国“铸钱、器”的“汉使、亡卒降”来看,所谓“秦人”,很可能也是被匈奴战败俘掠、后来投奔大宛的西汉军人。降军中最有名的自然是李陵。华北汉地社会中也有人被掳掠、甚至逃亡到匈奴政权下去从事农业生产的。后者成为迄今所知为改变个人生存的经济环境而出走异国的最早的人群;因为在那里他们受到的盘剥较轻。两汉时因国内政治斗争的失败而出奔匈奴者亦时见于记载。自东汉末年以往,日本也逐渐成为中国政治流亡者远走高飞的一方天地。

    随着隋唐统一帝国的建立,古代中国人寓居他国的活动呈现某种新格局。由于隋唐政权对突厥和中亚国家持续的军事活动,大批士卒流失在西域固属难免。禁止汉族居民出家为僧的法令废弛后,汉族僧团的大规模膨胀导致西行求法或东渡弘法的高僧大德人数激增。除沿着陆上丝绸之路向西推进的商贾之家,通过海路移居东南亚的“唐人”,由唐经宋而入元,也代不乏人。到了元朝,中国移民在南洋群岛已经相当多了。

    东南沿海的中国人向外移民,从晚明的1560年代起逐渐形成一个高潮。明政府在这时开放海禁,使私人出海贸易的规模急剧扩大。但由于明政府仍明令禁止移民海外,遂使出门在外多年的人不敢归国,实际上对移民潮起到推波助澜的作用。17世纪前后,吕宋马尼拉的华人已有两三万人。清前期为孤立东南抗清力量,重新实行海禁,并对出国归来的人处以死刑,但其收效仍与明末禁止移民海外的政策略同。鸦片战争前,东南亚的华人总数高达一百万人。在19世纪下半叶,中国人向海外移民的范围更扩大到北美。大批中国人被当作“苦力”运送到美国,在西海岸为洋人开矿修路。

    明清两朝政府长期抱持敌视海外华人的立场,把他们当作化外“弃民”,视之为“无赖之徒”。海外华人在羁留地区遭遇暴虐或不公正待遇,“天朝”往往置若罔闻。直到清末,这样的政策才获得基本的调整。“华侨”的概念于是进入中国的政治文化。从光绪十九年(1893)“除华侨海禁”,到此后在各地设立领事馆,清政府终于对保护海外侨民的正当利益渐有意识。但在西方民族主义思潮的狂澜冲击之下,“满洲”政权的合法性已经无可挽救。海外的华侨成为推翻清统治的一种重要力量。
