LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - Can a star basketball player also be a star hip - hop singer? If you ask Shaquille O'Neal and some of his NBA fellows, they'll say “Sure”.
In the NBA, hip - hop music is as common as the jump shot. Hip - hop is similar to rap (说唱) music and is especially popular with young African Americans. This music is played before basketball games during halftime. Many of the players, like Shaquille O'Neal of the Los Angeles Lakers, write rap rhymes when they travel on airplanes from one city to another.
The NBA has a closer connection to hip-hop than any other sports league. This is partly because of the large number of African-American players, but also because the basketball league just loves hip-hop. Every February, the NBA invites popular rap singers to perform at its All-Star weekend.
When they play basketball, some of the younger stars even try to look like hip - hop singers. Like rap stars, they don't smile in photographs and videos. They try to trouble the players on the other team by looking tough (凶). “Hip-hop is just part of many players' culture,” says Kerry Kittles on the New Jersey Nets team. “All of us grew up listening to rap and Playing basketball, and the rappers grew up doing the same thing. A lot of players want to be rappers, and a lot of rappers would like to be players.”
Master P is a famous rap star who wants to be a basketball player. The Charlotte Hornets and the Toronto Raptors have invited him to their training camps. They enjoy listening to his music, but many people think that he is not good enough at basketball to be on an NBA team.

On the snowy Tibet plateau, traditional elements have been mingled with modern life -- youths dressed in the latest fashion dancing "Guozhuang," office-ladies playing conventional Tibetan music while driving to work and Tibetan girls wearing superb folk costume displaying their nice figures.
"I used to go shopping or bar-hopping with my friends after work. But now I don't think it is advisable to continue following that living style," said Pasang, a young Tibetan girl who practices Yoga everyday at a fitness club in the eastern suburbs of Lhasa city.
Today, the conception to live in a healthy way has become more popular in Tibet's general public.
When the night falls, crowds of aged citizens dancing "Guozhuang," a traditional Tibetan group dance, to vigorous folk music can be seen in many residential communities.

Different from their elder generations, a swarm of teenagers play skateboard or roller-skating shuttle among groups of strollers on the squares in front of the Potala Palace and Norbulingka, the Dalai Lama's permanent residence.

Most parents do not like their children's music. For example, today's parents do not like rap music. But what the parents do not understand is that people who make rap music have important abilities.
Think about the words in a rap song. Many of the words in the songs sound, the same. For example, each word at the end of a line in the song usually has the same sound. Say that a singer used the word" eat". He might also want to use the words "feet" and "meat" in the song. This is because these words end in the same sounds as " eat". So the person who writes the song has to know many words to find words that have the same sound and make sense in the song. Many people who do not like rap music do not think about rap singers' abilities and the clever way that they use words.
Another thing that rappers do well is putting songs together. Rap singers mix songs from older records with their own music. A good rap song has many different songs in it. So, a rapper has to know a lot about older music. In fact, rappers can mix different kinds of music into their songs, not just rap music. Many times, rappers will put famous parts of old rock and roll, old pop, or old disco songs into a rap song. As long as the rap singer tells people who made the older song, the rock, pop, or disco singers do not mind. If a rap singer does not say where he or she got the music from, then the other singers get mad.
Some parents think that rap is not really music. But that does not mean that the people making rap music do not have any special abilities.
56．This passage is mainly about _____.
A．making rap music B．words in rap music
C．old songs used in rap music D．mixing songs in rap music

A．rap singers often borrow music from older songs
B．rappers do not need to make sense for their songs
