广州市第六中学2022届高三第一学期期末模拟考试英语 阅读理解 （30分） A In no particular order, here arc some songs on the Music app of my phone: On a Sunday Afternoon by Lighter Shade of Brown---A student of mine introduced this rap song to me all the way back in the early 1990s, when i was teaching Spanish at a local university.
