I have been collecting the music of the Beatles from England for a long time. I first     1    (see) them on the television and I was     2    (entire) attracted at once by their great personalities and the fun they seemed to have. Actually, it is funny in a way because     3    (I) favorite song is “Yesterday”,     4     is very sad. However, not all their songs are like that. Some are funny, others are cheerful and all express original     5    (idea) and have lovely tunes, which their fans are quite familiar     6    .

They were able to attach their hopes and fears     7     their music. There is no doubt     8     their music will     9    (remember) many years from now. They were     10     most famous band in the 1960s and it is still possible to enjoy and admire their music even today.

If you ask any person which song is the most popular at present, the answer must be Lonely Warrior,     1    (write) by Tang Tian. However, much to her surprise, the song has gained great     2    (popular) among Chinese children.

You can’t imagine how popular it is. On the street, a woman began singing the song, and dozens of children around her naturally sang with her. In another instance, a kindergarten teacher set the song as     3     alarm, and children who were taking a nap     4    (wake) immediately when it began playing.

So what led to the song     5    (catch) on among children? Not only does it have a moving melody, but also – and more importantly – it involves heart-touching lyrics, which are easy     6    (understand) and inspire children to overcome the difficulty they have     7    (deal) with their study and life and fulfill their dreams. One child wrote concerning the song: “Who said heroes can’t be ordinary souls? I’ll be a man like a lonely warrior when     8    (face) life’s storms.”

For Tang Tian, a young excellent songwriter, the song is autobiographical. At the age of 29, she was enjoying her successful career     9     she was diagnosed with cancer of the nose and larynx. She had a passionate desire to hear Eason Chan, her idol, sing her song, so she created the lyrics, describing her sufferings as well as feelings and invited Eason to perform it. Finally, her dream was achieved and luckily she went     10     the hardship, beat the cancer and regained her health.

While they are at home alone, many people imagine     1    (have) the opportunity     2    (sing) together with others,    3    was realized by a virtual choir. Anyone can take part in     4    from anywhere and does not need a studio. It has proved to be     5    positive influence on the lives of many people. Award-winning composer and conductor Eric Whitacre came up     6    the idea of a virtual choir, who began studying music in 1988.    7    (move) by Mozart’s classical music, he received a master’s degree in     8    (music) composition in 1997. In 2009, his first virtual choir received    9    (million) of views on the Internet and    10    (become) a worldwide phenomenon since then. In 2014, he formed the Virtual Youth Choir for UNICEF, and 2,292 young people from 80 countries sang his song “What If”.
