You love Jay Chou's songs and you can sing some quite well. So you make a video of your performance and post it online for your friends to see. But what if this led to something beyond your wildest

imagination—a career in music?

Canadian teenager Justin Bieber, 16, has just had the magical experience: He posted homemade videos of his versions of songs by American singer Chris Brown online for his relatives. He received a phone call from Brown, telling him how much he liked his performance. His singing eventually earned him a fan base and a record contract. After releasing a popular record in November 2009, his album My world 2.0 came out last Tuesday.

Bieber sings ballads(民歌)and songs about puppy love. But is he just another gooey (甜腻的) teen idol? David Malitz, a columnist with the Washington Post, doesn't think so. “If we truly want the best forAmerican children, let us pause and give thanks for Justin Bieber,” he writes. “After years of humdrum bubblegum (乏味的摇滚舞曲) from Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers, the 16­year­old has thrown a candy­coated wrench (扭转) into Disney's heartthrob (甜心) assembly line by giving young fans something worth screaming their lungs out for lovable pop songs.”

From a boy who grew up below the poverty line with his divorced mom to a star who caused near­riots (近乎失控) in shopping malls, even Bieber himself can't believe his overnight fame, although his kind of success is becoming more and more common in the Internet era.

Interested in hockey, the national sport of Canada, the boy once put up pictures of players on the walls of his bedroom. He dreamed of being a hockey star and used to practice signing his autograph. He doesn't need practice now. He signs autographs, if the girls can get close enough, as a music star.

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Does Jay Belong in a textbook?

The fact that there are pop lyrics (明星作品) in textbooks show’s that students’ tastes are now being considered.

Yin Yue: Pop singers represent a part of our culture. That popular songs are selected for our books is a sign of progress. What’s more, this move will bring pop culture in contact with traditional culture.

Yu Kuntian: It’s not a bad idea. Pop songs in Chinese textbooks show that the authorities are trying to cater for teenagers. It may not have been a good idea to choose Jay Chou, but it is a start.

Pop songs in textbooks will mislead students.

Li Ning: It’s terrible. What we need are classics to improve our literary skills, not badly-written lyrics. As far as I am concerned, they have no place in our formal studies.

Teng Fan: I don’t think it’s a good idea. When educators include Jay Chou’s songs in Chinese textbooks, they are saying that he represents a literary standard to aspire (渴望) to. Also, including his lyrics means excluding work of more obvious merits(价值)。
