A

Areas of Tokyo which had usually been packed with office workers like sushi(寿司) restaurants and noodle shops were unusually quiet.Many schools were closed.Companies allowed workers to stay home.Long queues formed at airports.

As Japanese authorities struggled to avoid disaster at an earthquake - battered nuclear plant 240 km to the north, parts of Tokyo resembled a ghost town.Many people stocked up on food and stayed indoors or simply left.transforming one of the world' s biggest and most populated cities into a shell of its usual self.

"Look, it' s like Sunday —no cars in town," said Kazushi Arisawa, a 62 - year - old taxi driver, as he waited for more than an hour outside an office tower where he usually finds customers within minutes." I can' t make money today."

Radiation in Tokyo has been negligible, briefly touching three times the normal rate on Tuesday, smaller than a dental X -ray.On Wednesday, winds over the Fukushima (福岛) nuclear-power plant blew out to sea, keeping levels close to normal.But that does little to relieve public anxiety about a 40-year-old nuclear plant with three reactors in partial meltdown (熔毁)and a fourth with spent atomic fuel exposed to the atmosphere after last Friday' s earthquake and tsunami.

" Radiation moves faster than we do," said Steven Swanson, a 43 - year - old American who moved to Tokyo in December with his Japanese wife to help with her family business.He is staying indoor but is tempted to leave."It's scary.It's a triple threat with the earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear radiation leaks.It makes you wonder what' s next."

In Shanghai’s Grand Theater, a fashionable, mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as Guo Yong takes center stage.He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves.Blowing on one of the leaves, he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song.Some other musicians are also playing the traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in China.

It' s the first time such music has ever been performed in the Grand Theater.But all this is the efforts of Zhu Zheqin, a Cantonese—born singer, who has made it her mission to help preserve China' s traditional ethnic music.

In 2009, after being appointed a United Nations Development Program ambassador, Zhu traveled through some of China's remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups.In the course other four-month trip, she recorded more than a thousand songs.But she noticed that many of the best musicians were old, and some of the music was at risk of dying out.

"I was shocked by the beauty of what I heard—it was so good," she says."But it needed support.I hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times."

So Zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians to a wider audience.By doing this, she hopes to rekindle(点燃) the interest of the younger generation."Young people don't like this music much; they prefer pop music and love songs.They think these songs are something their grandma sings.This kind of repackaging gives young people a new door into their heritage."

Zhu believes China needs to look again at its own roots."China today is basically all Western art; in our conservatories (音乐学院) Western classical music is the top," she says."For China to really contribute to the world, we need to go on our own path.So what can represent China today?" The answer, she suggests, is to move from "made in China" to "created in China".

61.From the first paragraph, we learn that_______.

A.the audience are all young people

B.Guo Yong is playing the Buyi folk music

C.Guo Yong is the only minority performer on the stage

D.tree branches make good musical instruments

63.Zhu Zheqin travelled to some of China' s remotest regions to _______.

A.record the traditional ethnic music

B.help the local musicians play the music

C.show the UN Chinese musical traditions

D.enjoy the music of various ethnic groups
