A

As is true in all cultures， Americans first hear music in the context of family life. Much of that music comes from the records on the family radio or television， and this “canned” music is especially important in developing childrens musical taste. People often say they were very strongly influenced by the kind of music they heard before they were old enough to have their own records or choose the station on the family radio. There is usually some live music in the family as well.

Many mothers and grandmothers sing lullabies （催眠曲） ， for example. These can be important since in America， as elsewhere， lullabies not only lull a baby to sleep but promise， praise and teach cultural values. Sometimes lullabies are the only songs in a foreign language that American children with strong ethnic （种族的） backgrounds hear， since people often fall back on old， familiar languages for intimate （亲密的） songs.

Another important family context is the automobile， where families learn songs and sing together on weekends and vacations. This is not as surprising as it appears， for the family car has become one of the basic centers of family experience， and it is one of the important places where the families gather for an extended period of time without outside disturbance. The family used to have to choose between making their own music in the car and being force fed by the radio， but the invention of automobile cassette recorders and eight-track playback machines allows a family to have more control over what they hear when they drive.

1. What does the underlined part “‘canned music” in Paragraph 1 refer to？

A. The music children hear in a car.

B. Recorded music instead of live music.

C. Modern music young people can enjoy.

D. The music passed down from older generations.

D. to have another place to get together

All of Americas popular music—jazz， country， rock and roll， and hip hop—develops from the Delta blues. Its words gave voice to the lives of workers in the fields of the Deep South， who were deeply affected by slavery （奴隸制度）. The blues may be concerned with sadness， but singing it is an act of defiance， not despair （绝望）. The blues reminds us of our weak points while encouraging us to see how far we can actually go.

We can still almost touch the origin （起源） of this art form. Looking back on the journey the blues took north up the Mississippi River—when African Americans left the South in search of new jobs—photographer Gail Mooney traveled from Chicago clubs down to the Delta to get the stories of blues men and blues women. They are still here today to attach us to the musics early days.

“In our conversations， we talked so much more about other things than their music，” says Mooney， whose exhibition on the blues has just begun a US tour this spring. “We talked about their childhoods， their cultural origin， and a time in America when people moved to live in large cities. I would listen， and sometimes I would get a feeling.”

These photos show some of the musicians who worked and studied with blues pioneers—drummer Sam Carr was the son of Robert Nighthawk， while Pinetop Perkins and Willie “Big Eyes” Smith played together with Muddy Waters.

Already， this generation is leaving us： Little Milton， guitarist and vocalist， and Robert “Junior” Lockwood （who learned from Robert Johnson， the greatest blues man of all） have passed away since Mooney began her project. However， they left many valuable things to us. Turn on your radio and some little piece of the Delta gets passed down again.

5. What can we learn about the blues from Paragraph 1？

A. It was created by workers.

B. It aims to express sad feelings.

C. It described the lives of workers.

D. It contains many kinds of music.

6. Why did Mooney travel from Chicago clubs down to the Delta？

A. To learn to play the blues.

B. To visit some old musicians.

C. To find the origin of the blues.

D. To learn about different cultures.

7. What can we learn from what Mooney said？

A. The blues is very popular.

B. The blues has a wonderful history.

C. Blues men and women like living in large cities.

D. Blues men and women like their lives more than music.

8. What can we learn about the blues pioneers from the text？

A. They enjoyed their childhoods.

B. They were good at telling stories.

C. They left us many valuable things.

D. They once left the South in search of jobs.

Once a man asked a painter to painting a picture for him. He told the artist he didnt want any shadows in the picture， just sunshine， but the artist did so. When the man saw the finishing picture， he was disappointed. Without shadows， everything in the picture looks flat and unreal. The point of the story is that we need both shadows and sunshine to have a completely picture， just as we need both rain and sun to have living world. People， too， needs both sadness and happiness. We often learn important lesson during sad times. So when we will feel sad， we should try to stop and think about that we might learn from the experience.
