C
The words are meaningless; the singer's voice goes up and down; her facial expressions seem strange, almost mad. The whole impression of the song is uneasy, which seems meaningful, since the name of the song is Tante(忐忑) — a word that means uneasy.
The singer of Tante is Gong Linna and her song has caused public arguments. Some people love it, and some people hate it, but everyone agrees that it's crazy! It's so crazy that the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) refuses to play it during their games.
I happen to like the song and I think Gong Linna has a wonderful voice. The song seems like Beijing Opera but it is also like western music. In the first half of the 20th century, musicians began writing music without lyrics and it was hard for listeners to understand. Many people thought it was just noise. However, once their ears got used to the new music, they began to like it. They discovered these kinds of writers like Elliott Carter and Virgil Thompson were telling real feelings and ideas.
To some people, Tante may just sound like noise. But to me it is a beautiful "noise" and I hope it can be welcomed for what it is — a wonderful experiment in Chinese popular music.
52. When people hear Tante for the first time, they may feel________.
A. calmB. uneasyC. excited
53. Tante became famous because________.
A. it causes public arguments B. it is easy to understandC. its words are meaningful
54. Elliott Carter's music_________.
A. was very popular in China
B. told real feelings and ideas
C. was easy to understand at first
55. From the passage, we know ________.
A. the writer doesn’t like Tante
B. people think Tante is crazy
C. Tante is traditional Chinese music
56. The best title for the passage is “________”.
A. A piece of real musicB. A welcome voice C. A beautiful "noise"
D
A group of people asked this question to a group 4-to-8-year-old children. “What does love mean?” The answers were surprising. The children’s online would answer like they did below.
? When my grandmother hurt her knees, she couldn’t bent (弯腰) over and paint her toenails(脚指甲) any more. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands hurt too. That’s love.”
Rebecca–age 8
? “Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don’t shout at them because you know it would hurt her feelings.”
