02 Period Ⅱ Grammar and usage & Integrated skills Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练 1 [江苏镇江2023高一期中] Every year on June 21st, World Music Day is commemorated in over 120 countries, including its birthplace of France, to honour both amateur and professional musicians. Citizens of a city or country are permitted and encouraged to perform music outside in their neighbourhoods, public areas, and parks on World Music Day. Free concerts are also held, where musicians perform for the joy of it rather than for a fee. In the 1970s, American musician Joel Cohen, who was then working for a French radio station, came up with the idea of having musicians perform on the evening of June 21 to celebrate the start of summer. It was finally accepted by France’s Ministry of Culture in 1982. The day started in France and has since been extended to countries such as Belgium, the United Kingdom and others. It’s the ideal time to learn a new instrument or listen to songs they wouldn’t ordinarily include on their playlist. Every type of musician can celebrate World Music Day with friends, family, and even strangers, whether they are young, elderly, new, or seasoned professionals. The purpose is to promote music. 刷阅读理解 2 It makes no difference how good you are at making music; everyone can do it. This day can be used by even the most tone-deaf folks to sing their hearts out and appreciate the beauty and power of music. Music is not only a great way to express yourself, but it may also be beneficial to your health. A song might bring back a joyful memory or make you feel energised when you listen to it. 刷阅读理解 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界音乐日的时间、起源以及特色等。 1.Where did the World Music Day begin?( ) A A.In France.
