Students with cars buy large speakers and play music loudly as they drive on the street. Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, and the life of American people. Most of the radio programmes are music. Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make CDs or tapes which radio stations in many places broadcast (广播) . Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a pop star.

Spain is famous for its guitar music, and India for the twanging sound of the sitar. Many people like music in their own national style. But there are also people who enjoy classical music and pop music, which has spread throughout the world with the help of the recordplayer and radio.However, there are still great differences between the music of the west and that of the east. Many of the instruments are very different. The guitar and the sitar are both instruments in which strings are plucked by fingers, but they do not sound alike. The musical differences between east and west are not only in the instruments, but also in the ways the notes are put together.6.

A and BC His teacher thought he was dumb (愚笨的). Talent spotters (星探) thought he was ugly. But Jay Chou, 24, is now one of Asias hottest pop stars. Last week he had the honour of being the first Asian male singer to make the cover of Time, a popular magazine based in the US. He has won more than 30 entertainment awards over the past two years. Chou released (发行) his first album Jay in November 2000, and with two follow up albums Fantasy and Eight Dimensions his music has come to rule the Asian pop world. The entertainment industry has nicknamed him “a small heavenly king”. But Chou says, he is not a king, at least he wasnt before he shot to stardom. As a boy, he was called “stupid”. His high school English teacher said young Chou had a learning disability. “He had very few facial expressions (面部表情). I thought he was dumb.” Chou did poorly at maths, science and English. But his mother noticed the quiet, shy boy was sensitive to music: when he heard western pop music, he seemed to vibrate (摇摆). So she took Chou to a piano school at four years old. He practiced all the time, focusing on the keys the way other children focus on ice-cream. At the end of the high school, he failed his exams and didnt go to university. In a show he was seen playing the piano by a major Taiwanese entertainer, Jacky Wu. The 18-year-old Chou became a contract (签约) song writer for Wus music studio. There he spent one and a half years writing songs for famed artists such as a Valen Hsu and Coco Lee. He proved that he could be more than a songwriter. His catchy tunes have mainstreamed (成为主流) rap and R&B in the Mando-pop world (华语音乐). And his success proves that the music still matters more than looks and image.10.
