Music is different from songs. Songs express feelings with lyrics(歌词）, but music with tones
(音调).Unlike songs, music tones in themselves have no specific meanings. Different people
may get different things from the same musical performance. Though some music works
are difficult to understand, people need music in their daily life because it brings fun to
them. Different people like different music: some love classical music, and others take an
interest in pop music. Most young people like pop music.
Pop music began in the USA and became popular around the world during the 1950s and
1960s.The best-known early kind of pop music was “rock and roll”. Pop music has taken the
place of （取代）native music in many parts of the world. It has caused the number of
people for “jazz” music to become much smaller than in the 1950s and earlier and it has
now begun to become the most popular. Much pop music is without artistic value (艺术价值),
but the works of some pop singers such as the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the groups like Pink
Floyd and Crosby are excellent. And there is still great interest in it today. Pop music
concerts and festivals are held all over the world.
29. The biggest difference between music and songs is ________.
A. feelings B. lyrics and tones C. languages and countries D. meanings
30. Which of the following has now become the most popular according to the passage?
A. Native music. B. Jazz. C. Pop music. D. Classical music.
31. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to this passage?A. People can get different things from the same piece of music.
B. Pop music began to be popular in the midtwentieth century.
C. The best-known early form of pop music was “rock and roll”.
D. Much pop music is of great artistic value, so it interests young people greatly.

Students learn their lessons in class. In class teachers teach them. Students sit in the classroom listening to the
teacher. This is a way of learning. Is this the only way for students to learn something? Of course not. There is
another way to learn. That is students can teach themselves. For example, if you can not remember something when
you are doing your homework, you can look at your book to find the answer. This is a way to teach yourself. And it
is not a difficult thing. We can do this at any place and at any time.
How do you teach yourself? The first thing you must do is reading. Read something you are interested in, or
you have to read. The second is that you must ask yourself questions. The question is something you don't
understand, or you want to know more about. You can write down these questions. A clever student is usually good
at asking questions. The third is to answer the questions yourself by thinking hard, by reading the test or other
books, and sometimes by asking other people. This is the way of teaching yourself. And you must do this all by
yourself. If you keep doing like this for a long time, you are sure to succeed in your study.
36. Listening to the teacher is______ for students to learn something.
A. not a way B. the best way
