he felt _.a. disappointedb. angry.c. worried. d. calm. b“folk singers are more like poets than singers,” li yahe, a music businessman, once told china youth daily. that saying perfectly describes zhang lei, the 34-year-old champion of the fourth “voice of china” singing competition, which ended on oct 7. critics thought zhangs success as a victory for folk singers. the voice of china used to attach great importance to singing skills and vocal techniques, which are not necessarily what folk singers are good at. “folk songs are more about emotions and storytelling,” said li. folk is one of the oldest musical styles. it dates back to ancient times, when people sang about their everyday lives and the society around them. a powerful comeback folk music became popular again in the western world in the 1960s. during social revolutions, many young westerners turned to the simple rhythms of folk. pioneers included us singer bob dylan, whose songs are reflections of some social issues like the vietnam war. singers at that time used traditional folk instruments like the banjo, the upright bass, the mandolin and the piano. in the late 1970s, folk music was introduced to taiwan. the rise of singers like lo tayu and chyi yu popularized folk music, particularly among young chinese people. at that time, folk tunes were based on simple song structures, with pleasant chord progression and pretty lyrics, just like during old times. but they focused more on the dreams and sorrow of youth than on politics. this continued to be the case when the folk “wave” swept chinese mainland in the 1990s. folk pioneers sadly, it didnt last long in china. folk gave way to pop in the late 1990s, when people started living more fast-paced lives. but that didnt mean folk music had disappeared from the music world entirely. “the drop in the popularity of folk songs is because the business mode of the music industry is outdated, not because of the music itself,” folk singer song ke once said. he was right. recent years have seen folk songs gaining popularity, with the appearance of singers like li jian and song dongye. “the popularity of the internet has shocked the traditional profit model in music industry,” lu zhongqiang, manager of 13-month, a music recording and publishing company, told tencent entertainment. “not-so-well-known music starts showing its strength when the production of mainstream music is declining,” he added. 24. which would be the best title of the passage?a. the history of folk music. b. folk music pioneersc. the folk music industry. d. the voice of china25. the underlined world “it” in the last but four paragraph means_.a. the popularity of folk music. b. the focus of folk music.c. the tradition of folk pioneers. d. the new model of pop music. 26. which statement is true according to the passage?a. the voice of china is very popular among young chinese people.b. folk music once was a way to voice opinions about social issues.c. folk songs are more about expressing emotions than storytelling.d. outdated music mode is what leads to the decline of folk songs. 27. which word can best describe the attitude of lu zhongqiang towards folk music?a. objective b. confident. c. critical. d. worried cevery people uses its own special word to show its ideas and feelings. some of these expressions are commonly used for many years. others are popular for just a short time. one such american expression is “wheres the beef?” it is used when something is not as good as it is said to be. in the early 1980s “wheres the beef?” was one of the most popular expressions in the united states. it seemed as if everyone using it at the time.beef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and food is more popular in america than a hamburger made from beef. in the 1960s a businessman named ray began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price. ray called this “mcdonalds”. ray became one of the richest businessmen at last in america.other business people watched his success. some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. one company called “wendys” said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by mcdonalds or anyone else. the wendys company began to use the expression “wheres the beef?” to make people know that wendys hamburgers were the biggest. the wendys television advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers. the bread that covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a bit of meat. one of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef. “wheres the beef?” she shouted in a funny way. the advertisement for wendys hamburger restaurants was a success. as we said, it seemed everyone began using the expression “wheres the beef?”28. _ started mcdonalds
