Prevention is better than cure: Out of a country’s health budget, a large proportion should be diverted from treatment to spending on health education and preventative measures.
The rising costs of health care have become an issue for many countries in the world. To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the state health budget be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment.
First of all, many kinds of diseases are preventable and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could prevent catching a cold if they dress warmly and get good rest when the weather first gets cold in the winter. But many people get sick because they fail to do so and have to spend much more money seeing a doct123 Another case in point is cancer, the leading cause of death in the world. But lung cancer, liver cancer and many other kinds of cancer could all be effectively prevented if people take measures for their health in an early stage. Small things such as smoking less or eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients took measures for early cancer prevention.
In addition, health education also plays a key role in improving people’s health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it.
However, emphasizing on disease prevention is not downplaying the significance of medical treatment. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same e12
In conclusion, we could save money in health care and treat patients more successfully if our country uses more money on health prevention and education.
要演唱好艺术歌曲,需通过不断的“打磨”过程,找到最佳的艺术感觉。
1.“面”的扩展应建立在“点”的真正突破上
艺术歌曲大多音域适中、结构较紧凑、表现细腻,很适合演唱者培养和加深有控制的“自然状态”,并形成一种“有控制”的演唱意识。许多声乐大师都有这样一种意识“唱好了中声区、高声区就成功了一半;唱好了弱音,强音也容易唱好了”。当然,要达到有控制的“自然”状态也绝非一朝一夕之事。有声乐理论家将这个过程归纳为“简——繁——简”。简是自然的状态,通过声乐练习,进入技巧运用之繁,但最终仍要归于“简”。总之,“面”的扩展要建立在“点”的真正突破上,这样才能真正取得进步。
2.精益求精、烂熟于心
准确、熟练把握乐谱非常重要,歌词是演唱的基础,声乐艺术之所以能感动人,除了本来的美妙外,重要的原因是听众能通过歌词与演唱者进行直接交流。要准确拼读歌词,弄懂每个单词的意思,要字对字的翻译,勤查词典。其次,发音要准确。西方语言的特点是多音节语言,辅音要清晰,非常靠前,元音非常明亮、非常纯正,唱时发音要连贯,每个音要显得很平。再次,音准、节奏是否正确,直接影响到演唱者对作品的表达。
3.要内化为内在的艺术素质
演唱艺术歌曲要求演唱者必须具备深厚的艺术修养,没有艺术修养作底蕴,充满美学意义的感情传达是很难实现的。要通过反复实践,建立良好的表现能力和适度的表现欲,具备在舞台上控制自我、驾驭作品情感的能力,有对作品比较丰富的形象思维,有表演意识和创造能力,有适应舞台和观众的能力。
演唱艺术歌曲是对演唱者综合能力的全面检验。功夫在“诗”外。演唱者只有具有较高的思想和艺术修养,对生活对音乐有深刻的理解,有较深的艺术造诣和较高的歌唱技巧,还有对声乐事业的热爱,才能收获到艺术歌曲那最深厚的美。
