It was Saturday again.Lily and Lucy disliked Saturdays.That was another thing the twins had in common.They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same manner.In fact，it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell them apart sometimes.

"How I wish I could do something different today，" said the twins with one voice.All at once，an idea came to Lily and Lucy at the same time. "Do you have the same idea as me？" they asked each other and laughed.It seemed like a wonderful plan to them.After giving each other a description of their own friends，Lily put on Lucy's ballet dress while Lucy put Lily's brushes and paints into her bag.Then they left for their classes.

One cannot discuss Chinese music without mentioning the guqin，one of the four arts-along with game of go，calligraphy（书法）and painting.It first appeared over 3，000 years ago and stands for China's solo musical instrument tradition.

   At first，the guqin had only five strings（弓玄），meaning the five elements（元素）of metal，wood，water，fire and earth.Later，in Zhou Dynasty，King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son.King Wu of Zhou，added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang.

    Ambiencewas important in playing the guqin.Usually，it was practiced in a quiet setting and never for public performance.Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream in the mountains.The sound of the guqin mixed with the echoes（回音）from the mountains，until the musician felt he was at one with nature.Playing it in snow was also an enjoyable activity for ancient artists，who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world.Also，a night with moonlight was considered wonderful for playing the guqin.Wang Wei（701-761），a highly talented man of the Tang Dynasty，liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight most.

   Guqin pieces are usually three to eight minutes long，with the longest being Guangling Verse，which is 22 minutes long.Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements，Wild Geese Landing on the Sandbank and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute.

   Nowadays，there are fewer than one thousand well﹣trained guqin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters.The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly reduced to only one hundred works by today.The guqin and its music was added to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity（人类非物质文化遗产）in 2003.

   Big data（数据）is a lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program.It can have different kinds of information from many sources（来源），such as information that comes from schools，social media sites，companies，and governments. （2） 　 　Another set can have what they like，where they go to school，and how much time they spend on the computer.

   （3） 　 　The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains.The information is then used to make bus or train systems better.Companies use big data，too.It helps them understand who buys their products.For example，one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice﹣cream.

   Big data can be used for good reasons.Some hospitals use big data to predict if a baby who is born too early will get sick.The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he or she does not get sick. （4） 　 　It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others，even if they have not done anything wrong.

   （5） 　 　It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people.People think a certain way.Because they think a certain way，they build a model of those ideas.These ideas are then used to look at the data.Sometimes，these ideas are helpful for people or businesses.Other times，bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.
