In 1472, the first bank of the world was built in this city and has been doing business ever since. Today Siena is famous for keeping its “old face”.

C Country music is a blend (融合) of traditional and popular musical forms. There are many branches of country music, such as Cowboy, Bluegrass and Country rock. Country music usually talks about everyday life and feelings. It's slow, simple and easy to understand. Country music developed in the southern United States in the 1920s. It was the folk music of American countryside at first. Many of the songs talked about the life of farmers there. The main topics were love, crops (农作物) and death. It seemed that the sound of the violin and the guitar took people to mountains and fields when people listened to country music. The life of the countryside could be hard, so the words in country music always sounded a little sad. In the beginning, people played country music only at family parties. But it became more popular later. Country music was heard on the radio in 1925, and later it was made into records. When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for jobs, they took their music with them. Then country music continued (继续) to change and became popular across America. John Denver was one of America’s most famous country singers in the 1970s. His song Take Me Home, Country Roads is well-known and is still played by many people today. 18. What does country music usually talk about? A. Modern lives of people. B. Everyday life and feelings C. Traditional musical forms. 19. What are the main topics of country music? A.

Xu Zhuoyuan became the youngest Chinese girl to succeed in reaching the top of Mount Qomolangma. What makes it more meaningful is that the year 2023 marks the 70th Anniversary (周年纪念日) of the first people achieving the impossible dream. Mountain climbing is one of the world’s most dangerous sports, and one of the most popular places for this is Mount Qomolangma. It is about 8,848.86 meters high and is very dangerous to climb. Thick clouds, heavy snowstorms and freezing weather conditions make the climbing more difficult. However, these difficulties didn’t scare Xu away. She wanted to challenge herself. She has been training hard to make her dream come true. On April 15, she left Changsha for Nepal (尼泊尔). On April 28, she arrived at the base camp and prepared for the huge task. At 10 p.m. Beijing time on May 14, Xu began her journey from Camp 4. The climbing was very hard, and it took her 10 hours to reach the top. Although she is quite young, Xu has already climbed five mountains over 5,000 meters in China. When she was 12 years old, she said on Hunan TV, “I will climb Qomolangma.” Four years later, she kept her promise. Her spirit shows us that we should challenge ourselves in the face of difficulties.

There are many branches of country music, such as Cowboy, Bluegrass and Country rock. Country music usually talks about everyday life and feelings. It's slow, simple and easy to understand. Country music developed in the southern United States in the 1920s. It was the folk music of American countryside at first. Many of the songs talked about the life of farmers there.

When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for jobs, they took their music with them. Then country music continued (继续) to change and became popular across America.
