He was born in Salzburg, Austria, in 1756. Before the age of four, he had shown great musical talent. His father then decided to let him start taking harpsichord lessons. The boy's reputation as a musical talent grew fast. At five, he was composing music. From that time on, Mozart was performing in concerts and writing music. By his early teens, hehad mastered the piano, violin and harpsichord, and was writing symphonies and operas. His first major opera was performed in Milan in 1770, when he was only fourteen. At fifteen, Mozart became the conductor for an orchestra in Salzburg. In 1781, he left for Vienna, where he was in great demand as both a performer and a composition teacher. His first opera was a success. But life was not easy because he was a poor businessman, and his finances were always in a bad state. His music from the next decade was not very popular, and he eventually fell back on his teaching jobs for a living. In 1788 he stopped performing in public, preferring only to compose. He died in 1791 at the age of thirty-five. Although he lived only a short life, he composed over 600 works.The Carpenters1. The man never gets tired of the Carpenters' songsbecause their voices are2.

Women worry too much about their appearances, and are so crazy about losing weight.W: Well, let's go for lunch before we go to the concert.The Origin of the Song"Happy Birthday to You"The story of the song "Happy Birthday to You" began as a sweet one, but later became bitter. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at a kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, wrote a song together for the c hildren, entitled "Good Morning to All". When Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister's knowledge in the area of kindergarten education, "Good Morning to All" was sure to be a success. The sisters published the song in a collection entitled "Song Stories of the Kindergarten" in 1893. Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University's Teachers College, a gentleman by the name of Robert Coleman published the song, with out the sisters' permission. He added a second part, which is the familiar "Happy Birthday to You". Mr. Coleman's addition of the second part made the song popular and, finally, the sisters' original first part disappeared. "Happy Birthday to You" had alto gether replaced the sisters' original song "Good Morning to All". In 1916 Patty took legal action against Mr. Coleman. In court, shesucceeded in proving that they were the real owners of the song.Karaoke1. A bunch of Americans are going to a karaoke bar.T FF2. American bars also have special karaoke rooms.T FF3. Chinese often spend time with friends in a karaoke bar.T FT4. In America there are many famous singing groups but fewopportunities for karaoke singing.T FT5. Both Americans and Chinese prefer to dance to music.T FDalin: It's Mike's birthday on Friday, so a bunch of us are going to go to the karaoke bar. Would you like to come with us?Laura: Karaoke bar? You have a special place just for singing? In America, bars sometimes have a karaoke night where the customers can sing a song, but we haven't special karaoke bars!Dalin: Really? In China, karaoke is a very popular way for friends to spend time together. We can select the music that our group enjoys. We mostly sing pop songs.Laura: Do you sing individually or in groups? Singing is not a very in thing, so I don't sing very well.Dalin: I'm surprised that you don't sing much in America. So many really cool groups come from there.Laura: Yeah, music is popular, but mostly we just listen to it.Dalin: If you just listen to it, you miss out on a lot of fun.Laura: Well, we sometimes dance to the music.When was music first sent downa telephone line?So you think downloading music from the Internet through a phone line is a really cool modern thing? Not so. In 1896, Thaddeus Cahill filed a patent on the instrument for transmitting music electronically, and until 1914 he sent music signals down telephone lines with this instrument. And he wasn't even the first. Elisha Gray transmitted music over a telephone line in 1876, which was the same year the telephone was invented. Gray invented the first electronic music instrument in 1874, calling it the "Musical Telegraph". Alexander Graham Bell also designed an experimental "Electric Harp" for speech to be transmitted over a telephone line using technology similar to Gray's. Bell was a speech teacher for the deaf. In 1879, he created an instrument to measure hearing loss. That is why the degrees of loudness came to be measured in bels or decibels.。

Let’s TalkThe Origin of the Song “HappyBirthday to You”The story of the song “Happy Birthday toYou”Began as a sweet one, but later became bitter.Twosisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at a kindergarten, andDr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, wrotea song together for the children, entitled “Good Morning to All”. When Mildred binedher musicaltalents wit h her sister’s knowledgein the area of kindergarteneducation, ‘Good Morning to All”was sure to be a success. The sister published the song in a collectionentitled “Song Stories of the Kindergarten”in 1893. Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the headof the Department of KindergartenEducation at Columbia University’s Teachers College, a gentleman by the name Robert Coleman published thesong, without thesisters’permission. He added a secondpart, which is the familiar “Happy Birthday to You”.Mr. Coleman’s addition of the second part madethe song popular and, finally, the sisters”original first part disappeared. “Happy Birthday to You”had altogether replaced the sisters’original song “Good Morning to All”. In 1916 Patty took legal action against Mr. Coleman. Incourt, shesucceeded in proving that hey were the real owners of the song.1. teacher at a kindergarten2. Good Morning to All3.

There were two sisters: one was Mildred Hill, and the other PattyHill. The former had great musical talents, while the latter had knowledge ofkindergarten education. Bu bining theirabilities,the two produced a son____alled“Good Morning to All”. It was a success, and later published in a collection of songs forkindergartens.Thirty-one years later a man named Coleman published the songwitho ut the sisters’permission. To make things worse,he added a second part, which is the present “Happy Birthday to You”. This new song soon became popularand eventually it replaced thesisters’first part altogether.

In 1896, Thaddeus Cahill Filed a patenton theinstrument for transmitting music electronically, and until1914 he sent music signals down telephone lines with this instrument.

Elisha Gray transmitted music over atelephone line in 1876, which was the same year the telephone was invented.Gray invented the first electronic music instrument in 1874, calling it the “Musical Telegraph”. Alexander Graham Bell also designed anexperimental “Electric Harp”for speech to be transmitted over a telephone line using technologysimilar to Gray’s. Bellwas a speech teacher for the deaf.

(Unit 1)Answer:We all know that the whole Chinese are trying to learn English,but what the fact told us is that only few people could learn it well.It is over six years since we started to learn English,but we only can work out some meaningless exams.We feel speechless when we want to express our ideas.In my view,I think this situation is result from our wrong learning methods.Our focus is on how to pass an examination but not on how to put the knowledge we have learned into practice.Practice each sentence relentlessly .This is the only way to succeed.2.Do you think regular exercise is important? Why or why not? (Give at least three reasons.) (Unit 2) Answer:Yes ,I think regular exercise is very important to us. exercise can enrich our life and maintain our psychological health.Exercise can also help us relax after a period of exhausting work and make our work more efficient.A person who often takes exercise is always full of energy and it can also make people look younger than they real age. What’s more, it provide chances to train our intelligence. Because we think actively when we do exercise. So,in order to keep a healthy life,exercise regularly is a good choice.3.Explain the following quotation in your own words. “The language of friendship is not words but meanings.”---H.D.

He was born in Salzburg, Austria, in 1756. Before the age of four, he had shown great musical talent. His father then decided to let him start taking harpsichord lessons. The boy's reputation as a musical talent grew fast. At five, he was composing music. From that time on, Mozart was performing in concerts and writing music. By his early teens, hehad mastered the piano, violin and harpsichord, and was writing symphonies and operas. His first major opera was performed in Milan in 1770, when he was only fourteen. At fifteen, Mozart became the conductor for an orchestra in Salzburg. In 1781, he left for Vienna, where he was in great demand as both a performer and a composition teacher. His first opera was a success. But life was not easy because he was a poor businessman, and his finances were always in a bad state. His music from the next decade was not very popular, and he eventually fell back on his teaching jobs for a living. In 1788 he stopped performing in public, preferring only to compose. He died in 1791 at the age of thirty-five. Although he lived only a short life, he composed over 600 works.The Carpenters1. The man never gets tired of the Carpenters' songs because2.

Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at a kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, wrote a song together for the children, entitled "Good Morning to All". When Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister's knowledge in the area of kindergarten education, "Good Morning to All" was sure to be a success. The sisters published the song in a collection entitled "Song Stories of the Kindergarten" in 1893. Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University's Teachers College, a gentleman by the name of Robert Coleman published the song, without the sisters' permission. He added a second part, which is the familiar "Happy Birthday to You". Mr. Coleman's addition of the second part made the song popular and, finally, the sisters' original first part disappeared. "Happy Birthday to You" had altogether replaced the sisters' original song "Good Morning to All". In 1916 Patty took legal action against Mr. Coleman. In court, shesucceeded in proving that they were the real owners of the song.Karaoke1. A bunch of Americans are going to a karaoke bar.T FYour answer Correct answerF2.

Not so. In 1896, Thaddeus Cahill filed a patent on the instrument for transmitting music electronically, and until 1914 he sent music signals down telephone lines with this instrument. And he wasn't even the first. Elisha Gray transmitted music over a telephone line in 1876, which was the same year the telephone was invented. Gray invented the first electronic music instrument in 1874, calling it the "Musical Telegraph". Alexander Graham Bell also designed an experimental "Electric Harp" for speech to be transmitted over a telephone line using technology similar to Gray's. Bell was a speech teacher for the deaf. In 1879, he created an instrument to measure hearing loss. That is why the degrees of loudness came to be measured in bels or decibels.。
