We live in a once unimaginable world of music.If you are interested in music,maybe
you are likely to learn about some albums (created by the famous artists.Here are
four valuable albums for some of the most important artists of the pop age.
整
Miles Davis Kind of Blue
By 1959,Miles Davis was reaching a new period.A new form-modal jazz-attracted
圜
him.He decided to form a new group,calling on musicians including John Coltrane and
Bill Evans to make an all-star sextet().The resulting album published in the same
year runs through a brief history of modern jazz.
Bob Marley Exodus
In 1976,Bob Marley left for London and produced one of the most politically urgent

from a kind of cancer that would finally end his life in 1981.The album stands as his best
late-career work.
功

类
important message of resistance().The album released in 1977 was successful but not
without results:the Nigerian government exploded into anger.

A heartbreak album,1971's Blue is often viewed as Mitchell's most classic work.But

I went to my first music festival with my friend this summer.Unlike the majority of
festival-goers,we did not buy tickets.Instead,we volunteered as festival servers for Ox-
fam.We each worked in exchange for a free ticket to the festival.
Leeds Festival is a large music festival which takes place at Branham Park.It takes
place towards the end of August,and thousands of people attend each year.There are sev-
eral different stages,each suitable for a different music taste.As well as the great music
on offer,there are also funfair rides,food outlets and a silent disco.Among these things,I
love silent discos:everyone has a set of headphones with two channels and music is played
英语51
through the headphones.As a result,people can be dancing and singing along to complete-
ly different songs!
When we were not working,we were free to enjoy the festival.We saw a wide variety
of artists across the weekend.My favorite day was the Sunday-in my opinion,this had,
by far,the best lineup ()I really enjoyed seeing Imagine Dragons,Vampire Weekend
and,of course,Arctic Monkeys,which are popular bands attracting thousands of people.
Although it was August,I could not believe how cold it was at night!We camped for
five nights-a bit longer than the general public-and it was freezing every night!How-
ever,we had a really fantastic campsite.People who work at festivals stay in a different
campsite to the general public.Our campsite was smaller,quieter and a lot cleaner!I had a
great time and will definitely return next year!

A broken heart and a sad ending to a long friendship.That's something most of us
have experienced,or probably will.After all,it's part of human life.But the experience
can be hard to get over.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache.Listening to sad music
is a major one.It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again.It
can arouse the desire to connect with others.
Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart.A recent study from
Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of
empathy(),and a desire for positive connection with others.That,itself,is psycho-
logically healing.It draws you away from concentration on yourself,and possibly towards
helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment,from the University of Kent,found that when people were expe-
riencing sadness,listening to music that was "beautiful but sad"improved their mood.In
fact,it did so when the person first consciously accept the situation causing their sadness,
and then began listening to the sad music.That is,when they intended that the sad music
might help,they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotion-
ally leads to healing and growth beyond it.It seems unbelievable but it does make sense.
For example,research from Cornell University found that accepting discomfort about a life
experience or new situation,and viewing it as a step towards growth and change,encoura-
ges people to find a pathway through it,beyond it.As Churchill famously said,"If you're
going through hell,keep going.That discomfort points you towards creating a plan,a
new action.It brings hope.

What do you think of 80s pop music?Do the names George Michael,Madonna and Mi-
chael Jackson sound familiar?Well,these are just some of the names that were well-known
in the music scene of the 80s and early 90s.The 80s pop music scene was an important step
to the popularity of present-day music.A new wave in the music scene was introduced,
which made such music styles as punk rock,rap music and the MTV popular.Although it
was an end to the old 60s and 70s styles,it was also the beginning of something big.The
popularity of music videos meant that artists now replaced their guitar-based music with
visual displays.A new wave of artists came on the scene and the entire industry developed
quickly.
The most famous 80s pop music video is Michael Jackson's Thriller.Introduced in
1982,few people can forget the video not only because of its never-be-foreseen images,but
also because of the popularity it received.Think of how 80s pop music changed the lives of
people who grew up in the 80s.Ask a young man today to tell you the names of the "New
Kids on the Block"and he will start talking about the neighbor kids who just moved in.
These are not the answers you might have heard in the 80s.Though today's young men do
not recognize how cool 80s pop music was,most people will always remember it for what it
was and these are happy memories they will always love.
Some of the80 s pop music legendst(传奇人物)include Madonna,U2,Aerosmith and of
course the King of Pop Michael Jackson.Let's not forget Prince,Tina Turner,Phil Collins
and Motown's Lionel Ritchie.Some of these musicians played music that has stood the test
of time.Undoubtedly,the 80s pop music scene will live on for many more years to come.

How could I have missed this treasure?I took the let-
ter carefully out of its envelope.It was dated September
1944.My father would have been somewhere on a different
kind of sea.I studied the familiar scrawl.He wondered
how the grain harvest had been and how his uncle's new
team of horses was working.He supposed that his youn-
gest brother was starting first grade and imagined that he
was becoming quite the little man.He asked his mother to
greet everyone.
At the bottom,there were words in underlined print
"Can't wait to be back home."Tears welled up in my eyes
as I read those words he had so carefully emphasized.I
could sense between the lines that the young man missed
his home and family so much.This tiny structure was the
most precious place for my father.As I left the old house
that day,I took one last glance back at it over my shoul-
der.I don't care what anyone thinks,I decided.That old
house gets to stay there until it rots into the earth.
