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 complicated(复杂), it is good to hear music about ordinary people.

Country music, sometimes called country-western, comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern Unite States. The other is 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.

77. It can be learned from the passage that country music comes from    ________   .

A. the Northeast and Midwest

B. factories and army camps in the South

C. the Appalachian Mountains and the West

D. real-life stories in small towns

After a five-year pause, the Billboard Music Awards officially returned to the United States. Two of the big winners at this year’s awards were Rihanna and Taylor Swift. But a major symbol of the show’s popularity came from others such as Beyonce, U2, the Black Eyed Peas, and First Lady Michelle Obama.

This year marks the Billboard Awards’ rebirth. The Billboard Awards had been a big event since 1989, but the award in 2006 seemed to be its last award.

This year the show was brought back in Las Vegas, broadcast live on ABC, and hosted by “The Hangover 2” star Ken Jeong. However, like many other awards shows, the three-hour awarding ceremony served more as a marketing tool for today’s pop stars than an award presentation.

The show was packed with fans. Cee-Lo Green floated in the air with his piano. Surprising duets (二重唱) between Rihanna and Britney Spears, and this year’s Billboard Icon Award winner, Neil Diamond made the fans sing along to “Sweet Caroline” and “America”.

Rihanna’s two wins were Radio Artist of the Year and Top Female Artist. Taylor Swift won the evening’s first award, as Top Album Artist, as well as Top Country Artist

Beyonce received a special “Millennium” Award for her career achievements: The 29-year-old star was praised in a video by a series of other stars, including Lady Gaga and Michelle Obama. She also performed her new song, “Run the World”.

The Billboard Music Awards are given to the most popular artists in the mainstream music scene. The finalists and winners are determined by their rank on the Billboard charts.

1.When was The Billboard Music Awards first held?

A. In 1989. B. In 2006.

C. In 2011. D. In 2018.

2.What does the author wish the awarding ceremony to be?

A. A promotional tool for today’s pop stars.

B. An award presentation.

C. A live broadcast show.

D. A pop star show.

3.Why was Beyonce given an award by the Billboard?

A. For being the most popular artist. B. For making the fans sing along with her.

C. For her career achievements. D. For being praised by Lady Gaga.

4.What award was not mentioned in the text?

A. Top Album Artist. B. Top Female Artist.

C. Top Country Artist. D. Top Male Artist.

Recently, a  professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called MoneyandtheMeaningofLife. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day­to­day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.

He says that our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you have a very good friend. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn't. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.

Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.

Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich?

Answer: The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I do not know much. All I am is rich.

People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.

1.The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money ________.

2.What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?

3.What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book?

4.Which of the following might the author disagree with?
