It plays an important role in our daily life.In America, popular music is what all the students like best.

Adult(成年人) drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics(政治), and activities of the American people. Most of the radio broadcast is music. Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make CDs or tape which radio stations use in every state. Once the singers songs are 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 national star.There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It has stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music.

But the fastest spaceship ever built would take nearly 75,000 years to get there. Thats just too long!Scientists have come up with a plan-send a group of very tiny spaceships. Why tiny? The smaller something is, the easier it is to make it go fast. Theyre hoping a group of stamp-sized ships(Star Chips)could travel fast enough to reach Proxima Centauri in just 20 years. There they could take pictures and collect information. If there is any life there, the Star Chips might be able to find it-and say hello from Earth.Each Star Chip will carry a tiny camera, thrusters, and sensors. It will ride a sail about the size of a picnic table. The plan is to send many, in case some dont make it.Scientists hope that their tiny Star Chips will be able to reach a speed of 134 million miles(216 million km)an hour. First, the rocket will take the Star Chips to space. Once in space, they will open their shining sails. Then, people on Earth will shoot out lasers at the sails. All those lasers shot at the sails will push the Star Chips so fast that they will reach the moon in just two minutes.The computer chip at the heart of each Star Chip is tiny like the ones in mobile phones. None of the other technologies has been built yet. The hardest part will be the lasers, which have to be extremely powerful. The team will also need to invent a light, strong, and very shiny material for the sails, and tiny cameras powerful enough to take pictures of planets. And theyll have to find a way to send those pictures back to Earth. Theres a lot of work ahead. But if they succeed, the heart of a mobile phone may be the very first interstellar traveler.30 .
