If you truly want to become a great singer, you must practice using your singing voice. Here is some advice that can help you a lot.
Where should I practice?
1. Your practice space can be anywhere in your house where you can be alone and concentrate. This practice space doesn’t have to be the size of a football stadium. You simply need space to move around comfortably during the warm-up or when you create the scene for your song.
What’s best time to practice?
Arrange a specific time for practicing each day. If the practice time is allotted (留出) on your schedule, you’re more likely to practice. 2. Many singers practice more effectively at night because of their body clocks. If your home is usually overwhelmed (应接不暇) with familial comings and goings in the evening or early morning hours, then you may want to arrange a time in the middle of the day. 3.
How long should I practice?
The length of the practice period depends on your level of music knowledge. Someone who is new to singing can benefit from practicing 15 to 20 minutes a day.4. However, quality practice is better than quantity. Focusing for 20 minutes of creative practice is better than unfocused practice for an hour.
Improvement happens with frequent practice. 5. Set goals for each practice period for the progress.
A.To increase your attention, turn off the TV during your practice time.
B.If your voice is tired after 20 minutes, rest for a time and sing again later.
C.You can’t expect to practice once and be perfect.
D.Leave the space set up so that everything is ready each day for practicing.
E.Decide if you’re a morning person or an evening person.
F.Gradually increase the practice time to 30 to 60 minutes per day.
G.The number one question is about location (地点).
If Confucius(孔子) were alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But that doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past twenty years, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of(利用) ancient Chinese wisdom to make up the drawbacks(缺陷) Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well. Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West. As for the old thinker, he will not be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
1.The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.
A. provide some key facts about Confucius

2.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ________.
A. take an active part in Chinese competitions
B. try to get high scores in Chinese exams

D. fight for a chance to learn Chinese
3.What is the best title for this passage?
