Many Chinese people like American country music, such as the songs of John Denver. But some people don’t know when country music began.
At the beginning of the 20th century, country music was from the folk music of the Appalachian Mountains in the east of America. There, people sang while playing the violin and guitar. They sang about everyday life, love and their problems. The life in the countryside was hard, so the songs were sometimes a little sad.
One of the most popular country music singers John Denver, who is also quite famous to the Chinese. For Denver, music was a language that could bring the world together. He says music can bring people together. We will understand each other better through music.

When I’m in trouble, I always take out a book and read quietly. I put my heart into it so that I’ll forget all the unhappy things. I’ve developed a habit of reading in this way.
When I was a little boy, I was interested in comic books and storybooks. When I was a middle school student, I began to read novels, plays, essays (散文) and so on. I found I could get much from them. Little by little, I took a great interest in literature (文学) and last term I won the first prize in the composition contest (作文竞赛) among high school students in our city.
Reading “The Emperor’s New Clothes” makes me laugh a lot about the emperor’s silly behavior. “The Little Match Girl” makes me feel sad. Robinson Crusoe takes me into a strange world full of danger. And I am also deeply moved by Helen Keller’s spirit of being strong and never giving up. Besides these, books also tell me other things—how to be a brave man and how to tell the difference between right and wrong. In a word, good books can let me know what I don’t know before. So I think good books are just like my best friends.

B．Because they can make him learn a lot about history.
C．Because they have beautiful pictures for him to enjoy.
D．Because they can tell him interesting stories and make him laugh.

This famous poem (诗), Happy Rain on a Spring Night, was written by Du Fu (712—770, the Tang Dynasty) when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful (感谢) to nature and it is shown in this poem.
The very first word, “good”, shows the poet’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the proper time to come. Here the poet uses personification (拟人), as if the rain was smart enough to come in time for the farmers’ busy season.
When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known.
In the third couplet (对句), the poet describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the boat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.
Lastly, the poet starts to imagine. Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom after the rain.
