How to sing like a superstar is a question people have been asking for ages. We naturally look up to the stars
we want to sound like when we're young and just experimenting with singing. But as we get older, we find that we
have our own voice.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂In my opinion, you can only be a superstar if you find your own voice. If you want to sound great and attract
people, just get comfortable with your own voice. Do you think Bob Dylan has a great voice? Of course not, but
people love his voice and his songs. One of the main reasons is that he's very comfortable with himself and his own
voice. So, remember this when you're asking yourself how to sing like a superstar.
I hate hearing many singers trying to imitate (模仿) other singers! But it still happens all the time and
yes, some of them do become famous by trying to sound like others. I just don't feel like I'm listening to real art
when I hear these so－called stars trying to imitate someone else with their voice.
Now one thing I like to do is to sing other people's songs in my own voice. Yes, you can practice a great song
by an artist you love while you're driving down the road, but practice it in your own voice, not his or her voice.
Turn down the volume (音量) a little and hear your own natural voice singing the song and giving it a totally new
flavor!
That's exciting and you're being true to yourself. We're supposed to be artists and that means expressing
ourselves in a unique way. So if you're asking how to sing like a superstar, remember to just use your own voice.

Music is magic! Music speaks louder than words and it is a “language” that the whole world can understand. A
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂piece of music can produce a response in the heart and mind. Like feeling an electrical current or receiving a
personal radio signal, music has a spiritual effect on a person. Different kinds of music influence people in different
ways.
I have listened to music all my life. When I was twelve years old, the Beatles came to America and my whole
world opened up. Maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the Beatles when they exploded
across America. Their influence changed the way we dressed, looked, acted and spoke ... even our culture. The
Beatles arrived in America from the UK just under three months after the assassination (暗杀) of President John
Kennedy, which had put America into a great depression. And the freshness and lively spirit of the Beatles was
exactly what the country needed to refresh itself.
Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer. This means that it mixes the spirit of the
composer with your spirit when you listen to it. And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport
you into another world. Music has a great way of touching people. Music can make you laugh, cry or shout. It's also
a great source of inspiration.
Try this one day and notice what happens: make yourself a cup of tea, sit on your sofa and play one of your
favorite songs. Close your eyes, and soon you'll find yourself creating vivid mental images—matching the music
that you are listening to.

IV.语法填空
It is commonly believed that school is 1. where people go to get education. However, it has been said that
today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference 2. between schooling and education
suggested by this is important.
Education is endless, 3. compared (compare) with schooling. It can take place anywhere. It includes both the
standard learning that takes place in schools and 4. the whole universe of learning out of class. Though the
experience of schooling can be known in 5. advance (advanced), education quite often produces surprises. A
chance talk with a 6. foreigner (foreign) may lead a person to discovering how little he knows of another country.
People obtain education from babies on. Education, then, is a very broad and 7. unlimited (limit) term. It is a
lifelong experience that starts long before the start of school. Schooling, 8. on the other hand, is a basic experience,
9. whose style changes little from one way to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at the same
time, take 10. fixed (fix) seats, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams and so on. Schooling has usually
been limited by the edges of the subjects being taught.
V. 微话题写作。
