But while listening to music, especially light music, I feel calm and peaceful. Now I am listening to a song named Moon River. It is really a fantastic song. I didn't like this song at the beginning, but later I found its slow melody(旋律) and beautiful lyrics deeply touching. "Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker. Wherever you're going I'm going your way. Two drifters(流浪者) are off to see the world. There's such a lot of world to see." Yes. Although there is a long way to go for the drifters and maybe there are many troubles ahead, they seem afraid of nothing. I like music. Music reminds me that human beings have a lot in common even if we come from different countries or backgrounds, because we all have the same feeling or understanding of melodies and words. 根据短文内容，完成下列小题。 1．What kind of music does the writer like? 2．Did the writer like the song called Moon River at the beginning? 3．Do the drifters seem afraid of nothing? 4．What does music remind the writer? 5．When did the writer begin to love music? Nie Er, born as Nie Shouxin in 1912, was a Chinese composer (作曲家) who is best known for March of the Volunteers, the national anthem (国歌) of the People’s Republic of China. When Nie was young, he had musical talent. He was able to learn the voices of people he knew, and almost any sound that entered his ears. Thus, people began to call him “Ears”. What’s more, Nie was able to move each of his ears independently. This brought him another nickname, “Doctor Ears”. Nie felt that his nickname was interesting and said, “Since friends give me one more ear, I will have one more ear from now on.” Later on, he changed his name to be Nie Er. Nie Er showed an interest in music. When he was a student, he organized the Nine-Nine Society, which performed in the school and outside. During this time, he learnt to play the violin and the piano. After 1932, Nie Er joined the musical group of the Friends of the Soviet Union Society. In 1933, he joined the Communist Party of China. In April 1934, he became a member of the Pathe Records and tried the musical section. In the same year, he founded the Pathe National Orchestra. In January 1935, Nie Er became the director of the musical department of Lianhua Number Two Studio. In April 1935, Nie Er went to Japan to meet his elder brother in Tokyo. There, he composed March of the Volunteers, which would become the national anthem of China.

It tells real-life, stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more difficult to understand, it is good to hear music about ordinary people. Country music, sometimes called country-western, comes from the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern Unite States. Country music is also from traditional cowboy music from the west. The singers usually play guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War II, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country. Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada—in small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1, 200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English, and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor Southerners is now popular all over the world. 1．How many kinds of music does country music come from? 2．Where was country music popular before World War II? 3．What did many Southerners go to the Northeast and Midwest to do during World War II? 4．Who went to army camps in the South later? 5．Is country music one of the most popular kinds of music loved by different kinds of people in the world today? If you have a pet like many people, you care for it as if it was your child. Meeting its needs and wants is an important part of your life, because you want it to be happy. However, there is one thing that it needs but cannot tell you about: that is music. There are a few reasons why your pet should listen to music. Many pet owners play some music for their pets, because this can help their pets to feel better when they are at work. Most people are out throughout the day, and leave their pets alone at home. To make their pets feel comfortable and safe, they try playing some music before they leave the house. This works on all pets and makes even the most relaxed pet more comfortable to be alone at home. You might have to change the music to see what kind of music is best for your pet. If you want to calm your pet down, you will need to play soft music instead of(代替） hard rock or hip-hop music, which might make your pet excited. Also, you need to know that different pets respond(反应) differently to music. Hard rock music has also been found to work well to calm some pets down. And piano music works well on most pets, but it works best on cats. 1．Why do you need to meet your pet's needs and wants? 2．What can you do to make your pet feel comfortable before you leave the house? 3．How do you find the best music for your pet? 4．Which kind of music should you usually play if you want to calm your pet down? 5．What do you think of the idea of playing music for pets?

In fact in Australia, a scientist Catherine, has made a music program that’s been putting smiles on the faces of kids in hospitals across the country. “It can make you happy, it can make you sad, it can make you want to get up and dance, and it can make you feel good and take away any stress,” said Catherine. For thousands of years people have believed that music has a great effect on both the mind and the body, but it was only about 70 years ago that scientists began to study its medical effects.

It’s even been used to help kids in schools get better marks because it allows them to relax and pay more attention. Now music is being used in a special program called Music Therapy(治疗). It helps people improve their life in many different ways by using music. It can include: listening to music, playing instruments, singing, song writing, action songs and games. Sophia is eleven.

Did you hear music at any of those places? Today most stores and restaurants play music. You might even hear music in an office or on a farm. Scientists believe that music changes the way people behave. According to some scientists, the sound of Western classical music makes people feel richer. When a restaurant plays classical music, people usually spend more money on food and drinks. When the restaurant plays modern music, people spend less money. Without background music, people spend even less. Scientists also believe that loud, fast music makes people cat faster.

What kind of music do we like? The survey (调查) shows the musical habits of some of our readers. Interestingly, fourteen people out of the twenty questioned play a musical instrument, while only six people don't. Out of these, ten people practice their musical instruments between 0- 3 hours a week and the other four between three and six hours a week. The best instrument to play is the guitar. Eight people say it is their favorite instrument to play. Another four people like playing the piano and two like playing the violin. Two people, however, don't like playing the violin or the piano as they think they are too difficult. Pop concerts are always popular but, in this survey only eight people say they like going to concerts, six to pop concerts and two to jazz concerts. A higher number, eighteen, say they like listening to music as they find it relaxing. Only two people don't like listening to music at all.

Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events-love, sadness, good times, and bad times. It tells real-life, stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more difficult to understand, it is good to hear music about ordinary people.

But during World War II, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country. Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada—in small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容，回答下列问题) When he was born in 1958, Andrea Bocelli had poor eyesight. At twelve years old he became completely blind, when he was hit on the head while playing football. Bocelli does his best to ignore his blindness. He says, “Italy’s traditions, as well as my parents, have taught me not to accept life’s difficulties in a passive (被动的) way, but rather to draw strength from them.” Bocelli showed musical ability early in life, and won his first singing competition when he was twelve. He was discovered in 1992 by the Italian rock star Zucchero. Zucchero wrote a song and he wanted the famous opera singer Pavarotti to record it. But he had to look for a singer to make a demonstration (示范) tape of the song. Bocelli sang for him. Pavarotti heard the tape and thought that Bocelli sang as well as himself. Bocelli became famous the following year, when he performed many concerts with Zucchero. In 1994, Bocelli recorded his first CD and made his first appearance in an opera, Macbeth. He began to try other kinds of music and became internationally known in 1996, when he recorded Time to Say Goodbye with singer Sarah Brightman. Bocelli starred in many famous operas in 1998.
