Congratulations, Bill! I hope you've__2__ your tickets by now. This week we are
__3__ a classical (经典的) CD to the first listener who can
name the piece of music and the person who __4__ it.
I'm going to play the piece of music in a few minutes, but __5__ I do, you need
to get a pencil and a piece of paper, as I'm going to give you some __6__ which
should make your job a little easier. Are you ready? Right. Now listen
carefully, as you might be this week's __7__ winner.

he spent most of his __8__ in Spain.
Have you got that? On to the second point: There is also a(n) __9__ play which
has the same title (标题) as this music and which is usually
performed in the open air in the summer. Any __10__ yet? I should warn you that
it's not that easy. Now for the next point: When this piece of music was first
performed, many people in the audience got up and __11__. They thought the
music was terrible and said it was a waste of their money. It's __12__ really,
when you think how __13__ it is today. And now for the last point. Part of his
music has been used for an advertisement which you can see on __14__, in a lot of magazines and even on your cinema screen from next
month. I'm sure when you hear the music, you'll know what the advertisement is
__15__. I'm not going to tell you what product (产品) it
is, because that would almost give you the answer!
So, that's
four things to remember. If you can give us the answer, please ring 0018937224.
