Music is an international language. The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere.

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 (扬声器) and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.

Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics, and activities of the American people. But most of the radio broadcast is music.

Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in every state. Once the popular singer is heard throughout the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.

Besides pop music, there are two other kinds of music that is important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. The other is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.

第二节   完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）
Alice, my friend’s daughter, goes to an expensive private school where she has a friend, Jane, who is on a full scholarship at this school. Jane has   36  economic resources—her father has been dead for years and her mother works   37   a maid. Although her mother works very hard, she can   38  support the family. Jane is very bright and gifted at   39  and that’s how she has got the scholarship, which included a(n)   40   for things like lunch, school uniform and music lessons.
Alice became friends with Jane and would   41  talk to her at lunch. She did it that way in order to avoid the other kids   42   her.
On her birthday last month, she   43  her new friend to her birthday party, but Jane said she couldn’t come. Alice wanted her to be   44   so much that she   45  on her coming. Eventually, the girl said, “I don’t have any   46  clothes that I could wear at your birthday party.” After a brief pause, the girl remembered, “I have a   47   from my piano performance,” and asked, “Could I   48  a skirt from you?”
Alice was happy that her friend would be   49  to come and hurried home to ask her Mum   50   she could lend her friend one of her skirts. To her surprise, her Mum said, “No.” The daughter was very   51  and angrily said to her Mum, “ 52  I could, I would give my friend all my clothes.” The Mother didn’t understand why her daughter should have had such an outburst as she’s normally very well   53 .
Finally, Alice explained to her Mother her friend’s   54 .  Her Mother immediately changed her mind and said, “Yes.” She also encouraged her daughter not to feel like she should secretly be friends with Jane but to feel proud of her   55   with her.
So the true friendship seeks to give, not to take; to help, not to be helped; to minister, not to be ministered unto.

Mrs. Amatuli was my teacher in the fourth grade. One day at lunch time,I was getting ready to eat my same old tuna fish(金枪鱼)sandwich and suddenly Mrs. Amatuli asked me if she could buy my sandwich from me. She explained that I could use the money to buy a hot lunch from the cafeteria.

I was thrilled. I never bought my lunch at the cafeteria. It was too expensive for my family,and I always carried my lunch and brought the bag back home to use again the next day. My sandwiches were either bologna(大香肠)or tuna fish. It rarely varied beyond that.

You can understand my delight when I had the opportunity to buy a hot lunch.

When we finished lunch that day. Mrs. Amatuli took me aside and said she wanted to explain why she had bought my sandwich. I really didn’t care why, but it gave me a few minutes of her precious attention so I was very quiet as she explained. You see，she was Catholic and she told me that Catholics didn’t eat red meat on Fridays—they ate fish on Fridays.

Oh,I couldn’t wait to get home and tell my mama that from now on 1 wanted tuna fish on Fridays. After my mama understood why，she gladly fixed tuna fish for me on Fridays. She even fixed it on brown bread because she knew Mrs. Amatuli liked brown bread. From then on. every Friday I could get in line with the rest of the kids for a hot lunch. I didn’t care how many of the kids complained about cafeteria food—it tasted divine to me!

I realize now that Mrs. Amatuli could have fixed herself a tuna sandwich of Friday. But she bought my sandwich because she saw a 1ittle girl who was thrilled over the simple act of having a hot lunch.
