2 . 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 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, and the life of American people. Most of the radio programmes are music.

Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in many places. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people will 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.

There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another 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.

6 . Human's Greatest Achievements

The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, but the human race has lived on it for just 200,000 years. In that short time, we have achieved amazing things.

    1    The list is almost endless. The invention of the airplane has changed our lives. The discovery of antibiotics has saved the lives of millions of people. Can you imagine living without electricity? What about the printing press? Without the printing press, you wouldn't be reading this. In the last 50 years, there have been great achievements in communication, such as radio, TV, computers, the Internet, and smartphones.     2    

What about the arts? The arts have brought pleasure to many people, but are the Beatles and Bach more important than antibiotics?     3    

Finally, we must not forget humans’ early achievements.     4    We can't imagine modern life without cooked food and cars.

What are humans’ greatest achievements? To answer the question, we need to decide what we mean by “great”.     5    Or is it just something that makes us say “Wow” like the Great Wall? What do you think?

A．Do you think it is difficult to have great achievements?

B．Is it something that makes us rich or happy or save lives?

C．We enjoy these things every day because they are free to use.

D．They used fire for cooking and heating and invented the wheel.

E．Many of humans’ great achievements are in science and technology.

F．And is Mickey Mouse as important an achievement as going to space?

G．We could probably live without them, but life wouldn't be as interesting.
