六、阅读表达
请认真阅读下面的短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在横线上。
The word “zhiyin”, which means close friends, comes from the story of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi in the Warring States Period(战国时期).
Boya was good at playing guqin. One day, he was playing music on his way home on the boat. To Boya's surprise, Ziqi, a woodcutter(樵夫) who happened to pass by, could understand exactly what he wanted to express through his music. After a long talk, they became good friends. Since Boya had to return home, they agreed to meet again in the following year.
Unluckily, when getting back to visit Ziqi the next year, Boya heard that his friend had died of an illness. Boya was so sad and in front of Ziqi's tomb(墓), he played again the music he had played when they first met. The feeling of the music was so strong that it was as if the rivers and the mountains were crying. When finishing playing, Boya broke the guqin into pieces. From then on, Boya never played again.
People in the Song Dynasty built the Guqin Tai in Hanyang to remember the deep friendship between Boya and Ziqi. It became an important part of the local culture.
Zhiyin culture has new development now. The famous ancient Chinese classical music piece Gaoshan Liushui was performed during the G20 Summit(峰会) in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. The musical performance showed not only the beauty of traditional Chinese culture, but also China's wish to develop its friendship with people from around the world.

2. It showed not only the beauty of traditional Chinese culture, but also China's wish to develop its friendship with people from around the world.
3. It is very precious and touching. They understood each other deeply through music.
