For many of us, it might be the easiest English song. We learned it at a young age. But do you know the history of this song? Here’s the story behind the Happy Birthday Song. Let’s take a look. The melody (旋律) of the song went back to 1893. Two sisters—Patty and Mildred Hill from America—wrote the song together. Patty was a school headteacher, and her older sister Mildred was a pianist.

And the lyrics (歌词) went like this: Good morning to you Good morning to you Good morning, dear children Good morning to all On a student’s birthday, the teachers changed the lyrics of “Good morning to you” to “Happy birthday to you”. The song soon became popular. Children across America loved the song so much and started singing it back to their teachers on their birthdays. In 1924, Robert H. Coleman used the Hill sisters’ lyrics as the first verse (节) and “Happy birthday to you” as the second, making the song even more popular.

People often call it “Thai country music.” It began in the countryside just north of Bangkok in the early 1900s. Over the years, it has reached every part of the country. You can now hear it playing in Thailand’s big cities. One of the most famous luk thung musicians was Suraphol Sombatcharoen. He helped to make luk thung popular around the country.

Music changes, too, says Sodagreen (苏打绿乐队). The band from Taiwan is famous for its “little fresh” style. But Sodagreen doesn’t look at themselves in that way. “We never set (设定) our music as ‘light and fresh’ or any other style,” said the lead singer Wu Tsing-fong. “We want to try different styles.” With that idea, Sodagreen started a music project: Vivaldi. It’s named after Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi, who had a work named The Four Seasons. Sodagreen chooses four cities for the four seasons. They make an album for each of them, using four different types of music. Their music trip started in their hometown, Taitung, in 2009. This warm and quiet place gave their first album—Daylight of Spring, a Taiwan folk (民谣) feel. Sometimes Sodagreen also rocks. Later that summer, they went to the birthplace of rock, the UK. In London, they invited listeners to rock with them in the chapter (章)—Summer: Fever. To Sodagreen, Beijing in autumn has many stories to tell. Their latest chapter—Autumn: Stories, came out here in September. You can hear rock in a Chinese style. Which city is their final stop? It will be Berlin, Germany. Classic European music has a great influence on Sodagreen members. Will they bring us a fresh taste of winter from Berlin in their last album?

A happy song can make you smile, while a quiet song can help you relax. This is the main idea behind music therapy (疗法)—a growing area that uses music to improve people’s health and happiness. Music therapists are trained experts who use music to help people in different ways. For example, they might use drumming to help a sick person move better, or help a sad person show their feelings by writing songs. In hospitals, soft music is often played to help patients feel less worried before an operation. For students, music therapy can be very helpful. Studies show that some types of music can help students pay attention during study time. Classical music, especially works by Mozart and Bach, has been found to help some students focus better and remember things more easily. This is sometimes called the “Mozart Effect.” Another interesting use is controlling stress with music. Many schools have started adding music therapy methods to their health programs. Students learn breathing (呼吸) exercises with calm music, which helps them deal with exam pressure and daily problems. Group music activities, like drum circles, also help build friendships and teamwork skills. While music therapy won’t replace (代替) usual medicine, it offers a nice and useful way to help both body and mind health. Next time you feel stressed or tired, try listening to your favorite relaxing music—you might be surprised by how much better you feel! 1．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?

He likes playing computer games and listening to music. Once he spent the whole night playing computer games and listening to music. He was excited and yelled along with the MP3 player. The next day when he walked out of his room after listening to the MP3 player, he couldn’t hear anything about his mother’s words. His mother took him to the hospital at once. It was moderate (中度的) hearing loss (听觉损耗). Are you like Peter? If you are doing this now, stop it at once. A survey shows that lots of young people enjoy listening to their MP3 players. And they always listen to them at high volume. There are about 100 million people listening to MP3 players in Europe every day. Most of them are young people. Scientists have found that if people listen to MP3 players at very high volume for more than five hours a week, they may lose their hearing in five years. High-volume music can keep people excited, so young people would like to keep the volume high. It’s too bad for their ears. So the MP3 player listeners should keep the players within safe volume levels, no higher than 60%~70% of full capacity (容量).

But do you know the history of this song? Here’s the story behind the Happy Birthday Song. Let’s take a look. The melody (旋律) of the song went back to 1893. Two sisters—Patty and Mildred Hill from America—wrote the song together. Patty was a school headteacher, and her older sister Mildred was a pianist. At first, the song was called Good Morning to All. Teachers at the school used it as a happy morning greeting to kids. The melody was easy to remember. And the lyrics (歌词) went like this: Good morning to you Good morning to you Good morning, dear children Good morning to all On a student’s birthday, the teachers changed the lyrics of “Good morning to you” to “Happy birthday to you”. The song soon became popular. Children across America loved the song so much and started singing it back to their teachers on their birthdays. In 1924, Robert H. Coleman used the Hill sisters’ lyrics as the first verse (节) and “Happy birthday to you” as the second, making the song even more popular.

A night concert at Tsinghua University in Beijing attracted (吸引) more than 1,500 students and traditional Chinese music fans last weekend. The concert celebrated the university’s 110th anniversary. Fang Jinlong, a master of the traditional Chinese instrument pipa and three humanoid (人形的) robots from the Tsinghua Moja Robot Band performed several Chinese music pieces. “I’m happy to see our performance can mix science and technology with traditional Chinese culture,” said Fang. The band is made up of three robot musicians, Yuheng, Yaoguang and Kaiyang, named after three stars of the Big Dipper. They play three kinds of traditional Chinese instruments. Set up in 2018, the team to develop the band is mainly made up of students, teachers and graduates from Tsinghua University. As the team’s leading scientist, Mi Haipeng is a professor of art. He joined in the research and development of a robot rock band when he studied in Japan. That experience inspired his dream to make a Chinese robot band. Mi said the music pieces in the concert were specially tailored (专门制作) for the robots to play. The robots’ shells and stage clothes were made by 3D printing technology. According to Mi, there are more performance plans for Moja in the future, introducing new music pieces. The team, meanwhile would improve the musical sense and emotional (感情的) expression of robots, he added. “Robots stand for science and technology, which are popular among young people. We hope this robot performance will take root in traditional Chinese music and inspire young people’s interest in our culture,” Mi said. “We want to show our achievements of science, technology and art through the stage.

Over the years, it has reached every part of the country. You can now hear it playing in Thailand’s big cities. One of the most famous luk thung musicians was Suraphol Sombatcharoen. He helped to make luk thung popular around the country. He wrote more than 100 songs! He was so famous that people called him the “King of Luk Thung.” Thai migrant workers also helped to make luk thung popular across Thailand. Migrant workers are people who leave their homes to find work. These workers usually leave the countryside to work in the cities. They brought luk thung with them! As a result, many luk thung players were from the country. Many of their songs were about, country people living in a city. Luk thung is always changing. At first, luk thung was slow and soft. Many luk thung songs were also emotional. Now, luk thung shows are wonderful. Luk thung players wear colorful clothes with beautiful lights on them. They sing and even dance on the stage!

The band from Taiwan is famous for its “little fresh” style. But Sodagreen doesn’t look at themselves in that way. “We never set (设定) our music as ‘light and fresh’ or any other style,” said the lead singer Wu Tsing-fong. “We want to try different styles.” With that idea, Sodagreen started a music project: Vivaldi. It’s named after Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi, who had a work named The Four Seasons. Sodagreen chooses four cities for the four seasons. They make an album for each of them, using four different types of music. Their music trip started in their hometown, Taitung, in 2009. This warm and quiet place gave their first album—Daylight of Spring, a Taiwan folk (民谣) feel. Sometimes Sodagreen also rocks. Later that summer, they went to the birthplace of rock, the UK. In London, they invited listeners to rock with them in the chapter (章)—Summer: Fever. To Sodagreen, Beijing in autumn has many stories to tell. Their latest chapter—Autumn: Stories, came out here in September. You can hear rock in a Chinese style. Which city is their final stop? It will be Berlin, Germany.

This is the main idea behind music therapy (疗法)—a growing area that uses music to improve people’s health and happiness. Music therapists are trained experts who use music to help people in different ways. For example, they might use drumming to help a sick person move better, or help a sad person show their feelings by writing songs. In hospitals, soft music is often played to help patients feel less worried before an operation. For students, music therapy can be very helpful. Studies show that some types of music can help students pay attention during study time. Classical music, especially works by Mozart and Bach, has been found to help some students focus better and remember things more easily. This is sometimes called the “Mozart Effect.” Another interesting use is controlling stress with music. Many schools have started adding music therapy methods to their health programs. Students learn breathing (呼吸) exercises with calm music, which helps them deal with exam pressure and daily problems. Group music activities, like drum circles, also help build friendships and teamwork skills. While music therapy won’t replace (代替) usual medicine, it offers a nice and useful way to help both body and mind health. Next time you feel stressed or tired, try listening to your favorite relaxing music—you might be surprised by how much better you feel! 1．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?

Once he spent the whole night playing computer games and listening to music. He was excited and yelled along with the MP3 player. The next day when he walked out of his room after listening to the MP3 player, he couldn’t hear anything about his mother’s words. His mother took him to the hospital at once. It was moderate (中度的) hearing loss (听觉损耗). Are you like Peter? If you are doing this now, stop it at once. A survey shows that lots of young people enjoy listening to their MP3 players. And they always listen to them at high volume. There are about 100 million people listening to MP3 players in Europe every day. Most of them are young people. Scientists have found that if people listen to MP3 players at very high volume for more than five hours a week, they may lose their hearing in five years. High-volume music can keep people excited, so young people would like to keep the volume high. It’s too bad for their ears. So the MP3 player listeners should keep the players within safe volume levels, no higher than 60%~70% of full capacity (容量). If people near you can hear the sound of your MP3 player, it means you are keeping your MP3 player at very high volume. Turn it down, please! 1．What didn’t Peter do before he had moderate hearing loss? A．He played computer games. B．He yelled along with the MP3 player. C．He listened to the MP3 player.

As is known to all, music is a natural part of children’s play. Even the youngest children will jump or move their hands to their favorite music. Music can bring lots of other benefits (好处) to children. Music is simply a fun activity that makes little ones feel good. They are not as shy or afraid as adults (成年人) might be when they sing. They relax, sing and move freely, which really makes them happy. Music is also a wonderful way for children to express themselves. Through musical activities, children can tell how they feel and their ideas without being afraid. They can turn their feelings into dancing to music, and put their ideas down in the form of songs that they can sing. When music is in children’s lives, their memory (记忆力) becomes better. It’s clear to all of us that we remember things faster, better and for a longer time by singing them out than just reading them again and again. All in all, music is one of the ways in which children learn about the world from a very early age. It can help children in many different ways.
