“If music is the medicine of the soul， let it play on，” said a famous person. I think he said so probably because he got some help from music. Music has some strange abilities. Medical scientists have found that a person that feels stressed can actually listen to some kind of music and become well.

The researchers said that since stress comes as a result of life events such as starting a new family， starting a new business， and starting a new job， one can actually listen to good music and feel good because good music touches the human mind in a positive way. Music helps you to forget the life events that make you worried and remember the important events that once happened in your life.

Depression （抑郁） is a disease caused by stress， smoking， social problems and so on. Depression is also caused by problems such as failure in business. Depression may bring us  weakness， headaches， and loss of concentration. Good music makes one remember happy moments or good days. If you play music about love， it makes you feel like falling in love again though you may have had several upset experiences. And such good feeling makes you healthy.

Anxiety is another health problem that can be controlled by music. Anxiety is a side effect of some major health problems such as liver cancer and breast cancer. Good music makes you feel relaxed and removes the pains from these diseases and you feel all right.

Good music can send you to sleep. And you need to know that sleep puts your body in a healthy condition. Sleep takes away the effects of stress， depression and anxiety from a person.

All of America’s popular music—jazz， country， rock and roll， and hip hop—develops from the Delta blues. Its words gave voice to the lives of workers in the fields of the Deep South， who were deeply affected by slavery （奴隸制度）. The blues may be concerned with sadness， but singing it is an act of defiance， not despair （绝望）. The blues reminds us of our weak points while encouraging us to see how far we can actually go.

We can still almost touch the origin of this art form. Looking back on the journey the blues took north up the Mississippi River—when African Americans left the South in search of new jobs—photographer Gail Mooney traveled from Chicago clubs down to the Delta to get the stories of blues men and blues women. They are still here today to attach us to the music’s early days.

“In our conversations， we talked so much more about other things than their music，” says Mooney， whose exhibition on the blues has just begun a US tour this spring. “We talked about their childhoods， their cultural origin， and a time in America when people moved to live in large cities. I would listen， and sometimes I would get a feeling.”

These photos show some of the musicians who worked and studied with blues pioneers—drummer Sam Carr was the son of Robert Nighthawk， while Pinetop Perkins and Willie “Big Eyes” Smith played together with Muddy Waters.

Already， this generation is leaving us： Little Milton， guitarist and vocalist， and Robert “Junior” Lockwood （who learned from Robert Johnson， the greatest blues man of all） have passed away since Mooney began her project. However， they left many valuable things to us. Turn on your radio and some little piece of the Delta gets passed down again.

5. What can we learn about the blues from Paragraph 1？

A. It was created by workers.

B. It aims to express sad feelings.

C. It described the lives of workers.

D. It contains many kinds of music.

6. Why did Mooney travel from Chicago clubs down to the Delta？

A. To learn to play the blues.

B. To visit some old musicians.

C. To find the origin of the blues.

D. To learn about different cultures.

7. What can we learn from Mooney’s words？

A. The blues is very popular.

B. The blues has a wonderful history.

C. Blues men and women like living in large cities.

D. Blues men and women like their lives more than music.

8. What can we learn about the blues pioneers from the text？

A. They enjoyed their childhoods.

B. They were good at telling stories.

C. They left us many valuable things.

D. They once left the South in search of jobs.

Country music is one of the most popular  （kind） of music in the United States.  is pleasant to hear country music because it tells real-life stories and sounds like the way people  （real） talk.

Country music， which  （play） on guitars， comes from two types of music. One is the  （tradition） music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The other is the cowboy music from the west.  first， country music was popular mostly in the South. But during World War Ⅱ， thousands of southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest  （work） in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country also  （sing） country music in the army camps of the South. Sung by thousands of southerners and soldiers， it slowly became   （popular） than before.

It may seem strange to say that， but hearing good music played well by a big music group is something that a lot of people no longer experience. Most people are musically illiterate （了解不多的） simply because they have never had any chance to listen to good music. Many people are unfamiliar with the sound of a symphony orchestra. They only hear orchestra music while watching ads and films. But to me a symphony orchestra is the biggest instrument in the world. To hear a full symphony orchestra on stage and to feel the power of the sound—it is like a big wave. It is an amazing experience and it is one that I was lucky enough to grow up with.

My mother was a well-known singer. She had been a member of the Vienna State Opera and the Budapest State Opera and as a baby I was taken along to concerts and stages. I was not necessarily listening to classical music but always good music played well.

My mother was the sixteenth child in her family. She was the youngest and by the time she was born， her oldest sister also had a child with whom she shared a bed. With so many loving families around her， my mother grew up happily to be a cheerful woman.

Because I lost my father when I was very young， I do not remember much about him. What I do know is largely what I have been told by my mother. I am like him in many ways. He was obviously a very serious man， always appearing sad. I seem to have inherited （繼承） something of that from him. Fortunately， I inherited far more of my mother’s happiness—a real show business personality （性格）.

4. Why does the author think that most people are musically illiterate？

A. They are not interested in music.

B. They don’t listen to music very often.

C. They can’t tell good music from bad music.

D. They have no chance to listen to well-played music.

5. What does the author think of hearing a symphony orchestra on stage？

A. It makes him want to get on stage one day.

B. It makes him feel like getting stuck in a big wave.

C. It can create a similar feeling as watching powerful ads.

D. It is very different from hearing orchestra music in films.

6. What can we learn about the author as a baby？

A. He helped his mother a lot.

B. He learned music from his mother.

C. He went to his mother’s workplace.

D. He listened to classical music every day.

7. What would the author probably like to be in the future？

A. A teacher. B. A stage player.

C. An ad designer. D. A businessman.

While you are traveling abroad， cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic （语言的） mistakes， which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill feeling between individuals.        1

· Touching someone

2        In Mediterranean countries， if you don’t touch someone’s arm when talking to them or if you don’t greet them with kisses or a warm hug， you’ll be considered cold. But backslap （拍背） someone who isn’t a family member or a good friend in South Korea， and you’ll make them uncomfortable.

· Talking over dinner

In some countries， like China， Japan and some African nations， the food is the thing， so don’t start chatting about your day’s adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner.

3        It’s not because your group is unfriendly， but because mealtimes are for eating， not talking.

· Removing your shoes or not

Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the hostess will find you uncivilized， but fail to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia， Hawaii， or the Pacific Islands and you’ll be considered disrespectful. So， if you see a row of shoes at the door， start undoing your laces.

4

Once you are on the ground of a different country， remain highly sensitive to native behavior.        5        And don’t feel offended if something seems offensive—like queue jumping. After all， this is a global village， and we are all very different.

A. If not， keep the shoes on.

B. You’ll likely be met with silence.

C. Never be completely surprised by anything.

D. Some consider removing shoes impolite at home.

E. Personal space differs from each other in different countries.

F. Look out for the following cultural mistakes and try to avoid them.

It’s OK to say you’ve never heard of grime—unless you’re from the UK. That’s because this music was invented in the UK in the early 2000s.

To someone who’s not familiar with underground music culture， it’s easy to get confused between hip-hop and grime since they are both noisy. And many people didn’t bother to tell them apart， until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormzy and J. Hus led this year’s Mobo—“music of black origin”—award nominations （提名） in the UK.

Just like UK electronic music and hip-hop， from which grime drew influence， it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hip-hop， grime singers sing in dialects （方言） with strong accents， giving a special flavor to their songs.

Lady Leshurr， known as the “Grime Queen”， said that she once tried to hide her accent， as she didn’t want people to judge （评价） her. But one day， she realized that she didn’t need to change herself just to please others. And there’s no doubt that this is the most basic and important quality of grime music： be yourself.

Also different from the hip-hop culture， which usually focuses on being rich， grime singers pay more attention to social matters like the European refugee （难民） problem and the gap between the rich and poor.

Although still quite a young music type， grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people. In 2016， the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa， beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead. However， no matter whether grime is one day accepted by the mainstream music world or not， one thing is for sure： in grime， singers always stay true to themselves.

1. What do hip-hop and grime music have in common？

A. They are invented in the UK.

B. They make a lot of loud noise.

C. They are full of creative ideas.

D. They challenge traditional cultures.

2. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to？

A. Electronic music. B. Hip-hop.

C. Grime music. D. Black music.

3. What can we learn about grime singers？

A. They care too much about themselves.

B. They tend to take social responsibility.

C. They refuse to be judged by others.

D. They show strong independence.

4. What does Skepta’s success suggest？

A. Grime is gradually getting recognized.

B. Singers should not try to be themselves.

C. Grime will become mainstream music.

D. It is hard to win the Mercury Prize.

How many times do you wish you had time to pick up a new hobby or skill？ Often， you hope to learn something new， but you may never get started.        1        Many people have such plans， but they just don’t get started. The common reason is that they feel they don’t have enough time.

Hobbies provide a number of important benefits. They provide us with a break from work.        2        Many hobbies， such as group sports and book clubs， allow us to make new friends. Because of such hobbies， we have a social life outside of our families and classrooms.

So we’ve covered why hobbies are important， but how can we make time？ First， find out what you can cut back on. Chances are that you don’t want to skip doing the homework or  housework.        3        Do you spend your weekends on the couch？ Chances are that there’s more time than you think.

4        It may not sound relaxing for your free time to be on a schedule （安排）， but you’ll be glad that you set aside time for your hobby once you’re on a regular schedule. Otherwise， it’s too easy to put it off.

5        Much of the difficulty in doing something lies in getting started. Even if you don’t feel like it， or you have other things to do， get up and use the time you’ve scheduled.

A. Actually， you’re not alone.

B. Finally， get up and truly do it！

C. Second， try your best not to put it off.

D. Why not do your homework on your own？

E. But how much time do you spend watching TV？

F. Next， schedule a regular time to spend with this hobby.

Music Hobbies of American People

美国人的音乐爱好

James Fenimore Cooper， an early American writer， once said， “The Americans are almost ignorant of the art of music.” If that was once true， you would never know it today. Most Americans—even those without a musical bone in their bodies—have a favorite style of music. Many people enjoy classical and folk music from around the world. But other popular music styles in America were “made in the USA”.

一位早期的美国作家詹姆斯·费尼莫尔·库珀曾说：“美国人对音乐艺术几乎可以说是相当的无知。”如果那曾经是事实，如今你绝不会这么认为了。大部分的美国人甚至包括那些没有音乐细胞的人，都有自己喜爱的音乐类型。许多人喜欢世界各国的古典音乐和民俗音乐，然而美国其他的流行音乐则是“美国制造”的。

Country and western music lies close to the heart of many Americans. This style originated among country folks in the southern and western United States. Country music tells down-to-earth stories about love and life’s hardships. Guitars， banjos and violins （also known as fiddles） give country music its characteristic sound. The home of country music is Nashville， Tennessee—Music City USA. Country music even has its own theme park called “Opryland” where you can enjoy music shows and fun rides. “The Grand Ole Opry”， the oldest radio show in the United States， broadcasts country music live from Opryland every weekend.

乡村和西部音乐深受很多美国人的喜爱。这种类型的音乐起源于美国南部和西部的乡村民众。乡村音乐传述着真实不加渲染的爱情故事和生活中的艰难。吉他、五弦琴和小提琴（又名fiddle）可弹奏出乡村音乐的特殊音色。乡村音乐的发源地是田纳西州的纳什维尔市——美国的音乐城市。乡村音乐甚至还有自己的主题乐园——奥普赖乐园！在那儿你可以享受音乐表演以及好玩的游乐设施。美国最老牌的广播节目《乡村大剧院》每个周末都会实况播放奥普赖乐园的音乐。

Jazz music， developed by African-Americans in the late 1800s， allows performers to freely express their emotions and musical skill. Instead of just playing the melody， jazz musicians improvise different tunes using the same chords. The peak of jazz music came in the 1920s， known as “The Jazz Era”. This period produced musicians like Louis Armstrong， Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. These musicians later created the “big band” sounds of the 1930s. Different styles of jazz developed in different cities， such as New Orleans， Chicago， New York and Kansas City. Composer George Gershwin brought jazz into the world of classical music with pieces like “Rhapsody in Blue”.

爵士樂是19世纪末期由非洲裔的美国人发展出来的。它让表演者自由地表现他们的情感和音乐技巧。爵士音乐家不仅演奏旋律，还用同样的和弦即兴演奏出不同的曲调。爵士乐的巅峰期出现于20世纪20年代，该时期被称为“爵士时代”。这个时期诞生的音乐家有路易斯·阿姆斯特朗、班尼·古德曼和艾灵顿公爵。这些音乐家稍后都创造了20世纪30年代的“大乐团”之音。不同的城市也孕育出不同的爵士风格，比如新奥尔良、芝加哥、纽约和堪萨斯城。作曲家乔治·格什温更以像《蓝色狂想曲》这样的作品，将爵士乐带入古典音乐的世界。
