Well, just look back at how you have felt when you have heard music playingat these places.Playing the right type of music can help people feel better.Music also has an effect on your concentration (集中注意力).Music even helps patients feel better and helps them recover faster and better.Depression (沮丧) is a state of mind that most of us experience at some point of time.There are periods in our life when everything can seem difficult.Studies have shown that music can be a major mood (心情) lifter in such situations. Music also plays a great role in reducing anxiety.Anxiety often causes lack (不足) of sleep and other related problems.Music is often known as the international language.We may not know the language another person is speaking but most of us respond to music in the same manner.Music is one of the best ways to lift your moods, but this can depend a lot on the type of music you listen to.While happy music can make you feel better, sad music can further lower your spirits.If the tempo (拍子) is fast, you will become excited and dance to the music.Listening to classical music can often make you feel powerful while soft music can be the perfect way to help you relax at the end of a long day.If you want to use music to change the way you are feeling, you need to recognize the type of music that can lift your moods.Once you know the type of music you can use, you can use it to change the way you feel.【语篇解读】音乐能够改善我们的心情,但是不同的音乐对于我们的情绪的影响是不一样的。

It dates back to ancient times,when people sang abouttheir everyday lives and the society around them.A powerful comebackFolk music became popular again in the Western world in the 1960s. During social revolutions,many young Westerners turned to the simple rhythms of folk. Pioneers included US singer Bob Dylan,whose songs are reflections of some social issues like the Vietnam War. Singers at that time used traditional folk instruments like the banjo,the upright bass,the mandolin and the piano.In the late 1970s,folk music was introduced to Taiwan. The rise of singers like Lo Tayu and Chyi Yu popularized folk music,particularly among young Chinese people.At that time,folk tunes were based on simple song structures,with pleasant chord progression and pretty lyrics,just like during old times. But they focused more on the dreams and sorrow of youth than on politics.This continued to be the case when the folk “wave” swept Chinese mainland in the 1990s.Folk pioneersSadly,it didn't last long in China. Folk gave way to pop in the late 1990s,when people started living more fastpaced lives. But that didn't mean folk music had disappeared from the music world entirely.“The drop in the popularity of folk songs is because the business mode of the music industry is outdated,not because of the music itself,” folk singer Song Ke once said.He was right. Recent years have seen folk songs gaining popularity,with the appearance of singers like Li Jian and Song Dongye.“The popularity of the Internet has shocked the traditional profit model in music industry,” Lu Zhongqiang,manager of 13Month,a music recording and publishing company,told Tencent En tertainment.“Notsowellknown music starts showing its strength when the production of mainstream music is declining,” he added.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述的是中国民间音乐的发展历史与状况。

D.OnceⅤ.阅读理解Rock and roll has its origin in three different traditions of music.Perhaps the largest influence on rock came from the rhythm and blues (R & B) music popular in the southwestern United States during the 1930s and 1940s.Both the rhythm and singing style of R & B artists can be found in modern rock music.Rock and roll first became popular in 1954,and the first true superstar of rock and roll was,of course,Elvis Presley.With his handsome looks and his controversial dancing style,he captured the imagination and hearts of young people around the world.Although no figures have ever been published,he was surely the most successful solo artist in history.Over his career from 1956 to 1977,he had in all sold more than 170 major hit singles and more than 80 topselling albums.According to the billboard charts (排行榜),he remains the most successful male soloist with nine No.1 singles.In the early 1960s,rock and roll suffered a brief decline (下降) in popularity for two reasons.First,Elvis Presley served in the army and did not record for a while,and second,record companies began to try and make rock music more suitable for all music lovers.Then,in 1962,the Beatles brought rock and roll back to life again and made it louder and more defiant (藐视的) than before.After the Beatles broke up in 1970,another decline began as rock and roll broke into three popular styles—country rock,folk (which was quieter with more acoustic guitar),and heavy metal.In the mid-1970s,disco beganto sweep the music industry.Seemingly in reaction to this disco movement,punk rock (朋克摇滚) began in England.Actually,economic and racial problems in England at that time gave rise to punk rock,and the music used loud backing music and violent lyrics.In the late 1970s and early 1980s,musicians toned down the anger in punk music and developed new wave music.Record labels found this new music highly marketable,and bands such as Blondie and The Clash suddenly came into popularity.New creative ideas in music continue to change rock and roll.1.What’s the passage mainly about?A.The origin and development of rock ‘n’ roll.B.The popularity about rock ‘n’ roll.C.Three popular styles of rock ‘n’ roll.D.The rise of punk rock.2.Why was Elvis Presley so successful according to the passage?A.He had sold many major hit singles and topselling albums.B.He danced beautifully.C.He had a charming look.D.He was very handsome and danced in a controversial way,which was loved by the young.3.Since rock ‘n’ roll first became popular in 1954,how many declines has it suffered?A.One. B.Two.C.Three. D.Four.4.When did punk rock become popular in England?A.1940s. B.1950s.C.1960s. D.1970s.This is why...这就是……的原因(1)This is why he was late this morning.这就是今天早晨他迟到的原因。
