示例[A] [B] [C] [D]Passage 1It is understood that a ballad is a song that tells a story, but a folk song is not so easily defined.

The blues(勃鲁斯歌曲), a type of jazz popular in New Orleans, may be a folk song. In fact, there are folk songs for every job.“Home on the Range” shows how a popular song may become a folk song. It was first picked up as a folk song in 1910 by John Lomax in San Antonio, Texas. Lomax heard the song from an old man who had been a cook many years before.

The fish was gladly accepted, and the fisherman was asked to name his price.“One hundred lashes(鞭子), si r, and nothing less,” was the strange answer. “And these lashes must be laid on my bare back.”As the fisherman could not be persuaded to take money instead of whipping, the lashes were laid. After he had received fifty lashes out of the hundred, he cried out, “Stop! I have had my share. I have a partner in this business, and it is right that the remaining fifty should be given to him.”“What!” said the rich man, “Is there another such madman in the world Call him in, and let us see him.”“You need not go far, sir,” said the fisherman. “He is your own porter. He would not let me pass until I promised that he should have half of the price to be paid for my fish.”“Call him in,” said the rich man angrily. “He shall have his fifty lashes.”The fifty lashes given, the porter was dismissed and the fisherman was paid for his fish.11.

He began to breathe when he was born, and he will not stop until he dies; still he does it without thinking about it.See how long you can hold your breath.In some places men dive in the sea for the pearls(珍珠). They pick up shells that hold the pearls, and the longer they stay under water, the more pearls they can find. For the reason they hold their breath as long as they possibly can.
