Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.

Adult(成年的)drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, and the life of American people. Most of the radio programmers are music.

Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or a tape which radio stations use in many places. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people buy his or her tape. Some of the money from these tapes goes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national(國(guó)家的) star.

There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk (民間)music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is western or country music. This was started by cowboys(牛仔)who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the 1ove between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.

A story tells about an elder villager who led other villagers carrying salt day and night to a town in order to buy food for the winter. One night they camped in an open air with a starry sky above. The elder villager, following the tradition passed down from ancestors, took out three blocks(塊) of salt and threw them into the campfire to tell the change of weather in the mountains.

All people waited for the old man's "weather report": if the salt in the fire produced crackling sound(爆裂聲), they would have good weather; if no sound was produced, it then meant the good weather would soon end and a storm would come at any moment.

The elder villager looked serious. The salt in the campfire made no sound at all. He urged the whole team to set out immediately. A young man in the group thought it absurdly(荒謬地)superstitious(迷信的) to "forecast the weather by using salt".

It was not until the next afternoon, the weather suddenly changed, with cold winds blowing and a snowstorm coming. In fact, the method used by the elder man could be well explained by modern science: whether or not salt produces sound in campfire depends on air humidity(濕度).That is to say, when a snowstorm approaches, lead to high humidity, the salt blocks will not produce any sound in fire.

Young people often don’t mind the philosophy(哲學(xué)) of the old, regarding their ideas as out date and useless. To be honest, however, some beliefs in life are just like salt blocks that are distilled(蒸餾) from the sea: old as they are, they remain crystals(結(jié)晶), and carry with them deep memories of the sea.

根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案,將其標(biāo)號(hào)填入題前括號(hào)內(nèi)。

1.Why did the villagers go to the town?

A. They wanted to buy some salt and food

B. They wanted to sell the salt and buy some food.

C. They wanted to check the old belief.

D. They wanted to forecast the weather by using salt

2.What will happen if it rains recently?

A. The salt in the fire will produce crackling sound.

B. The salt in the fire will produce no sound.

C. The salt will remain crystals.

D. The elder people will give us the weather report.

3.Why didn’t the young man think the “weather report” absurdly superstitious?

A. The villagers were always superstitious, especially the old man.

B. He didn’t believe the god and only believe the modern science.

C. He didn’t believe the traditional way could forecast the weather by using salt.

D. He thought the salt could tell us the weather.

4. What’s the meaning of the word “approach”?

A.到達(dá) B. 遠(yuǎn)離 C. 追逐 D. 消失

5.What’s the meaning of the last paragraph?

A. Young people shouldn’t believe the philosophy of the old. They are superstitious.

B. Salt blocks can carry the memories of the deep sea, so it can forest the weather.

C. All the belief in life are useful and can give us suggestions in our lives.

D. Young people should learn from the old because they are knowledgeable and have much experience.
