阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容选择正确答案。

A

I can’t remember when I fell in love with music. Maybe it happened when I was feeling blue sometime long ago. I can’t tell you exactly how music makes me feel better. But when listening to music, especially light music, it makes me feel calm and peaceful. Now I am listening to a song named Moon River. It is really a fantastic song. It inspired (激发) me to write this article.

I didn’t like this song at the beginning, but later found its slow melody and beautiful lyrics deeply touching.

“Oh, dream maker, your heart breaker.

Wherever you’re going I’m going your way.

Two drifters off to see the world.

There’s such a lot of world to see.”

Yes. Although there is a long way to go for the drifter and maybe there are many troubles ahead, he seems afraid of nothing. I like music. Music reminds me that human beings have a lot in common even if they come from different countries or background, because we all have the same feelings or understanding of melodies and words.
