JAMES Brown, the legendary US singer known as the “Godfather of Soul”, died Christmas morning, 2006. he was 73.

Brown was one of the major musical influences of the last

50 years. He provided the basis for much of black music and

most of pop music with his early hits like. “Please, Please,

Please”. He essentially created funk(“疯客”音乐)with

mid-1960s songs such as "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag".

It won him a Grammy Award as best rhythm-and-blues song,

and it was only the beginning of Mr. Brown's rhythmic

breakthroughs. His rapid-footed dancing inspired Michael Jackson and Prince. Rap stars of recent years, such as Fat Boys and Public Enemy, have all borrowed his lyrics and rhythms.

Brown's songs in the late 1960s and early 1970s, such as "Hot Pants" and "Make It Funky", mixed the sophistication(复杂) of jazz-style arrangements with raw funk. With these songs, Brown established himself as the godfather not just of soul, but of all subsequent styles of dance music: funk, disco, hip hop.

"He made soul music a world music," said Al Sharpton, who toured with Brown in the 1970s and imitates his hairstyle to this day. "What Brown was to music in terms of soul and hip hop, rap, all of that, is what Bach(巴赫, 德国作曲家) was to classical music. He put everybody on a different beat, a different style of music."

Amid the civil rights movement of the 1960s Mr. Brown used his fame and music for social messages. He released "Don't Be a Dropout" in 1966 and met with Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey to promote a stay-in-school initiative. Two years later "Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud" insisted, "We won't quit movin' until we get what we deserve."

The passage is mainly about _______.

         A.black music in the US

B.James Brown's unique music styles

C.James Brown's contribution to American music

D.great musicians in the US in the last 50 years

The author intends to tell us by the last paragraph that ______.

A.James Brown was proud of being a black

B.James Brown was also active in political movements

C.the then Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey was one of Brown's fans

D.no children dropped out of school because of James Brown's social influence

Which of the following indicates that Brown's career began to take off?

A.His rapid-footed dancing.

B.His three years in prison.

C.His tour around the country with Al Sharpton.

D.His mid-1960s songs such as "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag".

If you love adventure and excitement, then Hunter's best-selling Warriors series is for you. The fantasy books follow four cat clans (部落)as they try to survive in the wilderness. In the newest book Thunder Clan warrior ,Ash fur has been mysteriously murdered. This sets three warrior cats named Holly leaf, Lion blaze and Jay feather on a journey to find the killer.

The three friends must deal with other problems, too. Jay feather is searching for his parents, but he must struggle against many lies to find them. Holly leaf encounters her own barriers when her clan refuses to follow the warrior rule. And Lion blaze discovers some unbelievable secrets. Besides, the cats face many dangers and the chance that another warrior will disappear forever.

“Hunter” is really a pen name for Victoria Holmes and two other authors, Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry. They chose Hunter to cover the three of them because of Red Wall ,a very successful book written by Brian Jacques. It is a similar animal fantasy about rats and mice. Because Warriors was going to fit into that bracket (级另!j),they wanted their books to go into the bookshelves next to his. So they needed a name alphabetically that would be close to Jacques. Hunter fits perfectlyi

“ My favorite character is Jay feather. You never know if he is on the side of the angels or not. He's got a quite dark side about him. In terms of the cat that I would like to be my best friend, that would be Cinder pelt. She is so cool. She has a great sense of humor and she is a good medicine cat. Even if she isn't a warrior, she tries to make the best of her destiny (命运). I really admire that in her,” said Victoria Holmes, one of the authors,
