I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son looked __36__ at me and said, “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say. __37__ several seconds all I could do was to stand there and __38__ down at him. My first thought was that he must need __39__ with his homework or he was trying to __40__ me for some news. Finally I asked, “What was that all about?”

“Nothing.” He said, “My teacher said we should __41__ our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s a(n) __42__.”

The next day I called his teacher to __43__ more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had __44__.

“Basically, most of the fathers had the __45__ reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first __46__ we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.” “The __47__ is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of __48__. It’s something all human beings __49__. What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too __50__ that we don’t all express those feelings. A boy should be __51__ to tell his dad that he loves him.”

The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how __52__ it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.

When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for __53__ second. And just __54__ he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you, too.”

I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time if my child says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole day to think of the right __55__.

Wearing a big hat and playing a guitar, a country music singer is using his rising and falling voice to tell the audience about his love, hope and loss. Few people could avoid getting caught up in his feelings.

This is the appeal（魅力）of country music, which speaks to the basic emotions of human life. Throughout the 20th century, it has grown into one of the most original and lasting American musical forms.

Country music's roots are in the songs of the American South, brought over by early immigrants(移民) from England. Those songs expressed the hardships of rural life and deep religious beliefs. In the 1920s, country music came into being as its first recordings were made. Early stars like Jimmy Rodger, known as "The Father of Country Music", and the Carter Family established its strong traditions － good song-writing, singing and playing.

Much of this music was written for and brought to the American public through the cowboy films of the 1930s and 1940s. It was widely popular then and many singers turned up on stage wearing Western fringe and cowboy hats.

In the 1950s, the country music recording industry was set up in Nashville and moved away from its rough roots. But singers like John Denver, with his hit track "Take Me Home, Country Roads", insisted on the originality and emotions of "real" country music.

Younger artists in the 1990s turned to older country styles and mixed t3vhem with elements of rock 'n' roll. Steve Earle, with his song "The Devil's Right Hand", is typical of this so-called "another country music".

Country music continues to speak to Americans of all ages and backgrounds. And it gives the nation an identity（独特性）.

Unlike pop music, country music was American, and only American. During its development, it continued to emphasize that "American" element and sounded completely different from its English ancestors. It may even be said that its sound and story tell the history of the United States.

Which of the following is the typical image(形象) when a country music singer performs?

A. Wearing a big hat and playing a guitar.

B. Using the rising and falling voice.

C. Telling about his love, hope and loss.

D. Singing for those working in the fields.

Which of the following statements about country music is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Country music was created by immigrants from England.

B. Country music comes from South American songs.

C. John Denver was known as "The Father of Country Music"

D. Country music that belongs to pop music was American, and only American.
