Music plays an important part in our lives. Music is for dancing, drinking, eating, loving and thinking. Some songs remind us of our childhood or youth. Others remind us of the people we love. Many important occasions (场合), like weddings and funerals, have special music. Every nation has a national song like the Chinese “MARCH of the VOLUNTEERS”

In the US, high schools and colleges have school songs too. Music is a part of the history of America. It expresses the problems and feelings of its people.

As the years go on, the music grows and changes. Modern science has also changed music. Inventions such as records, radios, movies, electric instruments, tape recorders and videos have changed the way we play and listen to music. They have helped to make music an important form of international communication.

American music, from the earliest folk songs to modern “pop”, is known around the world. Music is one of America's most important exports. It stands for a living history of America. And it brings the people of the world together. Even when people don’t understand the same language, they can share in the same music.

Many people learn and practice English by singing songs. Understanding American music can help you understand American people, their history and culture. So, as the song says, “Put a dime in the jukebox (自动点唱机), baby.” Let’s listen to the music!

I always loved jokes and cartoons. They can be serious as they point out the silliness in our lives, convey a wise message of wisdom and at the same time bring a smile. Sometimes there is little difference between a joke and life wisdom. 1..

I started collecting jokes I received from different sources over a period of some 25 years. For the book I chose for an “Anglo-Saxon” collection. They are typical for the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Where are they from? Who wrote them? 2., Most are everywhere, floating anonymously (匿名地)　 on the internet, and circulate among friends, e-mails, chat groups and mailing lists. Many come up over a beer.

The language of humor is not universal and translating into another language mostly does not work. 3.. Living in China for a long time, I gave up telling jokes as our Chinese friends find nothing funny in them and they can lead to misunderstandings. 4.. Trying to translate Chinese jokes also would mostly fail to convey anything “funny” for us Westerners; I can say I cannot recall any Chinese joke.

While at a first sight the book may not be interesting to Chinese readers, due to the cultural differences, 5., as well as to learn a different vocabulary. Also, for those who deal with Westerners, here in China or when abroad, they might surprise their foreign friends by serving them some jokes they can appreciate.

A. Different cultures have a different understanding of what is “funny”

B. Generally speaking, nobody knows the original source

C. they wonder why there are so many about the Westerners

D. Worse, they start asking a million questions of the why and what and how

E. Maybe life is just a big joke

F. Most Chinese are totally unfamiliar with the Western world of jokes, they are puzzled or even shocked

G. it is a nice tool for our friends to learn about typical Western humor

We all need physical exercise. Exercise uses up extra fat and also keeps the body full of energy. If you exercise several times a week, you will stay happy and healthy.

Some Western countries, such as the United States, have problems with exercise. In the US, many people don't have enough exercise because it is hard for them. People have to work from morning to late afternoon, so they don't have time to take exercise.

Most westerners live too far from their homes to their offices. They have no choice but to drive to work. In fact, some have to drive one or two hours to their offices. This is not good in two ways. First, these people don't have a chance to exercise because they are sitting in their cars for two to four hours each day. Second, driving is challenging especially in rush hours and needs too much attention. It makes a person very tired. So, when these people arrive home at night, they don't want to take exercise after work.

Today, many people in the West are overweight, which causes health problems for them. So many people are trying to get more exercise. But it takes time to change, and when people don't see a difference right away, they will lose confidence and stop exercising.

To Friend or Not to Friend

We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?

In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.

These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.

It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.

A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.”

Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list.

1.From Paragraph 2, we learn that ________.

A. parents feel secure about their privacy online

B. social networks successfully fill the generation gap

C. parents have realized the importance of social networks

D. social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate

2.Teenagers may refuse a parent’s friend request because ________.

A. they hide something from their parents

B. they are unwilling to be watched by parents

C. their parents tend to fall behind in technology

D. their parents make negative comments on them

3.The passage is mainly about ________.

A. privacy online

B. social networks

C. the generation gap

D. parents’ friend requests

4.The passage is written mainly for ________.

A. parents　　 B. teenagers

C. teachers　 D. researchers
