Steve Chou is popular with young people these days, but in his early days few people bought his records. Steve Chou lived alone in Canada and did little. One day, he passed by a local CD store and heard a song that greatly attracted him.
"My heart tells me that music is the thing I truly want to do, not for fame(名誉) or money," Chou said.
That's how we luckily have such a music genius, who has since then composed(作曲) lots of hits for the pop music charts(排行榜).
"Sometimes we need to get close to nature to look deeply into our souls and see what we really want to follow," he said.
Recently he has made public his latest work Lovers Genesis. In this album(集) he explores human relationships in the Internet age. "Technology itself is a good thing, but it depends on how you're going to use it," is Chou's advice to teenagers.
Chou often gets his music ideas from trips. He has traveled to many places around the world and believes that learning a country's language is the fastest way of experiencing the culture behind it.
Chou has worked hard on learning English to push forward his music career(事业). He has flown to the UK to attend months-long English training schools three times. There he lives with local families and practices daily conversations.

Music for Humans and Humpback Whales
As researchers conclude in Science, the love of music is not only a universal feature of the human species, but is also deeply fixed in complex structures of the human brain, and is far more ancient than previously suspected.
In the articles that discuss the field of bio-musicology, the study of the biological basis for the creation and appreciation of music, researchers present various evidence to, show that music-making is at once an original human "business", and an art form with skillful performers throughout the animal kingdom.
The new reports stress that humans hold no copyright on sound wisdom, and that a number of nonhuman animals produce what can rightly be called music, rather than random sound. Recent in-depth analyses of the songs sung by humpback whales show that, even when their organ would allow them to do otherwise, the animals converge on the same choices relating to sounds and beauty, and accept the same laws of song composition as those preferred by human musicians, and human ears, everywhere.
For example, male humpback whales, who spend six months of each year doing little else but singing, use rhythms(节奏) similar to those found in human music and musical phrases of similar length—a few seconds. Whales are able to make sounds over a range of at least seven octaves(八度音阶), yet they tend to move on through a song in beautiful musical intervals, rather than moving forwards madly. They mix the sounds like drums and pure tones in a ratio(比例) which agrees with that heard in much western music. They also use a favorite technique of human singers, the so-called A-B-A form, in which a theme is stated, then developed, and then returned to in slightly revised form. Perhaps most impressive, humpback songs contain tunes that rhyme. "This suggests that whales use rhyme in the same way we do: as a technique in poem to help them remember complex material," the researchers write.
90. The underlined words "converge on" in Paragraph 3 probably means .
A. tend towards
B. refer to
C. turn into
D. put forward
91. Which of the following shows the advanced musical ability in humpback whales?
A. They can remember complex material.
B. They can create pleasing patterns of music.
C. They can make sounds like drums continuously.
D. They can sing along with rhythms of western music.
92. What is the main idea of the article?
A. Animals are able to compose and enjoy music like humans.
B. Human beings borrow ideas in music from humpback whales.
C. Humpback whales are skillful performers in the animal kingdom.
D. Music-making is an ancient activity of both humans and animals.
93. The main purpose of the passage is to .
A. argue and discuss
B. inform and explain
C. compare and advertise
D. examine and assess
C
Planning to take your passion for music to a higher level means you will devote much time and energy, so the first step you will need to take is to mentally prepare yourself for the work and motivation to achieve your goals. You will most likely need to narrow your focus down to one instrument, and you will need to learn that instrument extremely well. Consider your current musical ability levels and try to determine how to improve those skills.
You may want to consider receiving private lessons to become a classical musician, of course which means a big expense. This field can be quite competitive, so you will need to hone(磨练) your skills as much as possible to compete with other potential classical musicians. A higher education degree can help you stand out above the rest, and it can give you the skills and practice necessary to be competitive for jobs in the classical music field. Private instruction will afford you one-on-one attention.
Playing your instrument every day is one step to become a classical musician, but you will also need to take other steps to get involved in the classical music scene in your area. Volunteer at the local orchestra, if one exists, and make as many connections as possible. Attend performances and meet people who are involved with running the orchestra. If a tryout is posted, attend the tryout to show your skills and the skills other candidates are exhibiting. This will help you become a classical musician by showing skill you need to attain.
If you are in high school, play in the high school band to get the practice you need. Participating in such a band will also help you develop your skills. Playing with other musicians will help you develop a sense of timing, and you may even be afforded the opportunity to write and perform your own music under the guidance of a band teacher.
94. What is the passage talking about?
A. How to become a classical musician.
B. How to achieve your dream quickly.
C. How to compete your music lessons.
D. How to show your skills in public.
95. Private instruction helps improve your skills .
A. so you don't have to work hard as others
B. because the musicians can tell some tricks
C. but you have to spend a big sum of money
D. and you can avoid the competitive job world
96. The author suggests you attend performances .
A. so that you can know famous people
B. in order that you develop your skills
C. because you will be admired there
D. because you can see many classical musicians
97. Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A. A local orchestra will provide free music classes.
B. Teamwork is important when playing instruments.
C. It is necessary to turn to a band teacher for advice.
D. It is necessary to learn from other candidates.
D
Have you ever watched a music video or listened to a song playing on radio and felt sad that you might never see or listen to it again? Buying your own music in this case is not such a bad idea. There are many places you can get your own music today. From your local department store, music shops or online, you have many choices. You only need to identify the artist of your favorite songs and you can go to buy it.
The beauty of owning your own copies of music is that you can play it at will. You do not have to tune into a particular show on radio or television to listen to it. You can watch your music video whenever you want. Consequently it is possible for you to make a copy in your iPod or mobile phone so that you can listen to and see it wherever you are. If you own a vehicle, you can make a copy of the CD and play it in your car as you go to work. With an original copy of your favourite folk or alternative songs, you do not have to be afraid of making duplicate copies as long as it is for personal use and not for sale.
So how do you go about buying music? If you can not find your best music video or blues CD in your neighborhood music shop, the Internet is always the place where you can easily get what you are looking for. All you need to know is the names of the artist and the song. Knowing the title of the particular album can be quite helpful as well. You can use these three attributes to help in your search. After successfully locating the music you are looking for, following instructions to complete the trade guarantees you a copy of your favorite songs.
Obviously buying a copy of your music videos, folk or indie(独立制作的) songs will cost you quite a bit of money. However, there is some pride and joy associated with owning original copies. It makes for a beautiful collection over time.
98. Buying your own music is a good idea because you can .
A. identify your favourite artist quickly
B. find your favourite music easily
C. duplicate copies whenever you want
D. play your favorite music whenever you'd like
99. You can buy your own music through the following ways EXCEPT .

D. the characteristics of the music you want to buy
