阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容，完成短文后的表格。

　　Rock and pop music are becoming more and more similar, but there are still some differences．Most pop singers use the music to make money and become rich and famous．Rock singers, on the other hand, make music their life．They play music to make themselves feel better and happier．They do not think how much money they can make from a song, instead, they sing for their feelings and live for music．

　　Pop songs and rock songs are written in different ways．A pop song is written in a “factory”where one person writes the words, someone else writes the music, and other musicians record it．The singer often knows little about the ideas or feelings behind the song．As for rock music, however, the singers and musicians are all able to write music and work together in a band．When one of them has a strong feeling, he or she expressed(表达)it with music and the others help build the song．

　　Because of the different ways of thinking and writing songs, rock and pop songs also tell different stories．Most pop songs tell simple stories to make people happy．They are popular for a short time．Rock music, on the other hand, expresses true feelings．Pop music makes people feel easy and forget about the real world; rock music makes people think about the world and how to make their life better．
