Explosive sound and energy

  ROCK music didn’t exist 60 years ago.  1   Someone didn’t just wake up and invent rock.So, how did it happen? What is rock?Although impossible to strictly define, it’s generally recognized that rock music was born in 1950s America.  2   At this time, early “rockers”were mixing the country music of white America with the rhythm and blues sound loved by the black US citizens.The result was rock‘n’ roll.The record most commonly considered as the beginning of the rock ‘n’ roll period is Bill Haley & The Comets’1954 recording of “Rock Around the Clock”.  3   Elvis’s 1950s recordings established the basic language of rock ‘n’ roll; his explosive stage presence set standards for the music’s visual image, while his voice was powerful and interesting.

    4   Despite the different directions and sound of rock bands over the last 50 years, there is something common to all the greats:a charming lead vocalist, a talented guitarist full of energy and creativity, a bassist with cool indifference and a drummer.

  For most of its life, rock has been split into different parts, creating new styles every few years-giving birth to a never-ending number of sub-genres.  5  Rock is a generic term, but it’s exciting that it can now mean so many different things.

A.Rock is my favorite and I’ll be a popular singer.

B.Now, it’s one of the world’s most popular genres.But musical styles don’t spring up overnight.

C.Rock had a specific sound and image for only a few of its early years.As time went by, the genre began to place equal emphasis on skills and pushing the boundaries of the music.

D.In fact, in the West, musically speaking, the years 1953~1955 are known as the rock ‘n’ roll years.

E.As a result, “rock”has been used to describe everything from bands playing catchy rhythms to groups based on tuneless, noisy guitars.

F.Rock music will be held in our school if we send an invitation to the band.

G.But it was Elvis Presley, known as “The King of Rock and Roll”, who really popularized the new sound throughout America and the Western world.

  I grew up with my best friend, who was just like a sister to me. She was a little older than me. I  36 to her. If ever I had a problem, she was always  37 enough to help me out.

  It wasn’t until the spring of“87” that I noticed a  38 in her. She was quick to anger, and her attitude was  39 . I asked her many times what was wrong. Her response each time was “I’m fine. ”

  As time went on, she became more  40 , and became a person I did not  41 anymore. All I wanted was to help her. Every time I tried, she would get  42 , and say she was fine.

  The summer of“88”, I finally got my  43 . My sister had changed due to the effects of  44 . My mother  45 put her arms around me, and told me my best friend had  46 due to an over-dose (过度剂量). Well, for a minute my world stood still, along with my heart. There was nothing to say or do, just tears in the  47 .

  Since then I’ve never once blamed myself for her death.  54 I volunteer my time to SADD and DARE. Each year, at an assembly I tell new students what happened and the  55 of drugs.

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, and then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark(标记) the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”

I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could — and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused(拒绝) to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

1.What does “Week by week her list grew” mean in the first paragraph?

A.As time went by, she discovered more shortcomings of mine.

B.She made a longer list of my shortcomings the next week.

C.She more and more disliked me as time went by.

D.She added one more shortcoming on the list every week.

2.What did the father ask her daughter to do when she complained(抱怨) about her “enemy”?

A.To pay no attention to her “enemy’s” gossiping.

B.To keep away from her “enemy” at school.

C.To write down what the girl said and accept the truth.

D.To do whatever she wanted to as usual.

3.Why did her father refuse to take the list her daughter made?

A.Because he wanted her daughter to perfect herself.

B.Because what the list said were not his shortcomings.

C.Because he thought the list didn’t belong to him.

D.Because he believed the list could be well kept by her.

4.Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?

A.Not an Enemy, But a Good Friend

B.The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had

C.My Father and I

D.My Childhood
