Explosive sound and energy

  ROCK music didn’t exist 60 years ago.  1   Someone didn’t just wake up and invent rock.So, how did it happen? What is rock?Although impossible to strictly define, it’s generally recognized that rock music was born in 1950s America.  2   At this time, early “rockers”were mixing the country music of white America with the rhythm and blues sound loved by the black US citizens.The result was rock‘n’ roll.The record most commonly considered as the beginning of the rock ‘n’ roll period is Bill Haley & The Comets’1954 recording of “Rock Around the Clock”.  3   Elvis’s 1950s recordings established the basic language of rock ‘n’ roll; his explosive stage presence set standards for the music’s visual image, while his voice was powerful and interesting.

    4   Despite the different directions and sound of rock bands over the last 50 years, there is something common to all the greats:a charming lead vocalist, a talented guitarist full of energy and creativity, a bassist with cool indifference and a drummer.

  For most of its life, rock has been split into different parts, creating new styles every few years-giving birth to a never-ending number of sub-genres.  5  Rock is a generic term, but it’s exciting that it can now mean so many different things.

A.Rock is my favorite and I’ll be a popular singer.

B.Now, it’s one of the world’s most popular genres.But musical styles don’t spring up overnight.

C.Rock had a specific sound and image for only a few of its early years.As time went by, the genre began to place equal emphasis on skills and pushing the boundaries of the music.

D.In fact, in the West, musically speaking, the years 1953~1955 are known as the rock ‘n’ roll years.

E.As a result, “rock”has been used to describe everything from bands playing catchy rhythms to groups based on tuneless, noisy guitars.

F.Rock music will be held in our school if we send an invitation to the band.

G.But it was Elvis Presley, known as “The King of Rock and Roll”, who really popularized the new sound throughout America and the Western world.

Eating the Cookie

  One of my patients, a successful businessman, tells me that before his cancer he would become depressed unless things went a certain way.  1   was “having the cookie.”If you had the cookie, things were good.If you didn't have the cookie, life was   2  

  Unfortunately, the cookie kept   3  .Some of the time it was money, and sometimes power.At   4   time, it was the new car, the biggest contract….A year and a half after his diagnosis of prostate(前列腺)cancer, he sits   5   his head regretfully.“It seems that I stopped learning how to   6   after I was a kid.When I give my son a cookie, he is happy.If I take the cookie away or it   7  , he is unhappy.But he is two and a half and I am forty three.It's taken me this long to understand that the   8   will never make me happy for long.

  The   9   you have the cookie it starts to fall to pieces or you start to   10   about it crumbling(弄碎)or about someone trying to take it away from you.You know, you have to   11   a lot of things to take care of the cookie, to keep it from crumbling and be   12   that no one takes it away from you.You may not even get a chance to eat it   13   you are so busy just trying not to lose it.  14   the cookie is not what life is about.”

  My patient laughs and says   15   has changed him.For the first time he is   16  .No matter if his   17   is doing well or not, no matter if he wins or loses at golf.“Two years ago, cancer   18   me, ‘What is really important?' Well, life is important.Life.Life any way you can, have it, life with the cookie, life without the cookie.Happiness does not have anything to   19   with the cookie:it has to do with being   20  .”

Four Steps to Better Learning

  Sheela and Nisha had almost the same level of intelligence and came from similar family backgrounds.Sheela found it hard to memorise a poem for an oral test while Nisha did it without any difficulty.  1   Why was there a difference?

  The answer is : Nisha just knew how to learn better than Sheela did.  2   Here are four steps to better learning.

  Preview the matter first.Scan or skim over a material quickly.Read the first sentence of each paragraph, glance at the table of contents and the preface.

    3   Speed reading is fine for the easy material.But for more complex works, slower reading is much more effective.Good learners actively think about what they read and assimilate(吸收)it.

  Be focused.To improve concentration and focus, fix a particular time and place for studying.Use a variety of methods, like writing down what you’ve read, taping it and then listening to it, making an outline or even drawing a diagram.  4   It will improve your learning capacity(能力).

    5   Each person has his own way of learning.If given the pieces of an object to assemble(聚集), each of us uses a different method to arrive at the same result.Analyse your approach and follow the method that you feel most comfortable with.

A.Follow your own learnign style.

B.Slow down and read it aloud to yourself.

C.Take a break if you become too tense or tired.

D.Turn to your heroes or tutors for advice and follow their advice.

E.She increased the capacity of her brain by applying some skills.

F.She only scanned a new poem twice before reciting it from memory!

G.Nisha had a better intelligence than Sheela, which was not true in fact.

   I grew up knowing I was different, and I   1   it. I was born with a misshapen lip.

   As  17   I was the last. But all through the testing I   18   what Mrs Leonard might say to me. I knew from previous years that the teacher   19   things like “The sky is blue.” Or “Do you have new shoes?”

   My   20   came. I turned my bad ear toward her,   21   the other just enough to be able to hear. I waited and then came the words that God had surely put into her mouth,   22   words that changed my life   23   .

   Mrs Leonard, the teacher I   24   , said softly, “I   25   you were my little girl.”

He must really be  37__.”As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him,  38 all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt, His glasses went  39  and landed in the grass.

My  40 went out to him. So, I ran over to him. 41 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!” I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it  42  , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

Kyle was the 43 student of our class, one of those guys that really found themselves during high school. Therefore he had the  44 to prepare a 45 speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was 46  .So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be  47 !” He looked at me and smiled.

He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to  48 those who helped you make it through those  49 years. Your parents, your teachers… but mostly your friends, I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best  50  you can give him.”

I just looked at my friend with  51 as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to 52 himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. “Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend  53 me from doing the unspeakable.”

  Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the  54   of your actions. With one small gesture you can  55 a person’s life. For better or for worse.
