But do you know that music is different from songs? Songs express feelings with lyrics (歌词) , but music with tones (音调) .Unlike songs, music tones have no specific meanings.Different people may get different things from the same musical performance. Though some music works are difficult to understand, people need music in their daily lives because it brings fun to them. Different people like different music: Some love classical music, and others like pop music. Most young people like pop music. Pop music began in the USA and became popular around the world during the 1950s and 1960s,The best-known early kind of pop music was rock and roll. Pop music has taken the place of native music in many parts of the world. It has caused the number of people for "jazz" music to become much smaller than that in the 1950s and earlier. And it now becomes the most popular one. Much pop music is without artistic value, but the works of some pop singers like Bob Dylan, the groups like Pink Floyd and Crosby, Stills&Nash are excellent.

In the 18th century, a lot of musicians came to study and work in Vienna.In the Strauss family, there were two composers called Johann Strauss: the father and the son. The father, Johann Strauss the elder, wrote and played music for traditional dances, called the waltz. His dance music made him famous all over Europe. The son, Johann Strauss the younger, was also very successful and popular. He wrote over 150 waltzes. In 1867,he wrote The Blue Danube waltz.Mozart was another very important composer. He was born in Austria in 1756.Before he was six, he played not only the piano but also the violin. His family took him around Europe, and he gave concerts in many cities. He wrote hundreds of wonderful pieces of music. But he became very poor and died in 1791 when he was only 35. Like Johann Strauss, father and son, he was a great European musician, and many people still think his music is perfect.6.From Paragraph1,we know that Vienna is ______ .A. a beautiful new cityB. on the River DanubeC. in the centre of AustriaD. the centre of European pop music7.How many important composers are mentioned in the passage?A.

Similarly, music is part of many people’s daily lives, whether it is played on the radio on people’s drive to work or played in a concert. Both language and music play animportant role in our culture, and here are some of their similarities.Both language and music have a writing system.In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Just as we are reading this collection of letters on the screen and find meaning in it, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear. So just as we read English, we can read music. By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite exciting.Both vary with culture.We can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language he or she uses. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and offering us music for every situation. This also means that there is something for everyone! Even if we don’t like British pop melodies (英伦摇滚旋律) , we may love the energy of Latin American salsa music.Both share emotions.How do people know that I am angry? Of course they may be able to see it in my face, but they will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show us exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and it allows us to share that emotion. When we feel happy, we might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate our happiness. In contrast, we have probably also listened to sad music when we were feeling down. I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.根据短文内容完成下面的表格。
