A
The term country music refers to a variety of styles，originally popular among working class white Americans in the rural areas of the South and West.Originally known as “hillbilly music”，the term was replaced by country and western music in 1949 and eventually shortened to country music.
But the origins of country music go way back a century ago，to the waves of immigrants from Britain and Ireland.Their songs and dances，nursery rhymes and ballads，would form the most important part of the folk musical tradition of rural America，and the basis for what became known as “old time”music.
These roots of country music lie largely in the folk songs and instrumental music of the English，Irish，and Scots who settled in the Appalachian areas of the Mid South during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.Many of these mountainous areas were not settled until the 1830s，and then by impoverished immigrants who were concerned with the daily struggle for survival.The communities were cut off from the rest of America and still attached to their traditions.
Other origins of country music can be traced back to the flamenco and habanera music of Spain，the polka and other dances of Eastern Europe and—as with almost all the popular music of the United States—the influence of the slave populations shipped from the African continent.In fact one of the major instruments in Appalachian and early country music，the banjo，has its origins in Afro American history.
Two publishing events in the early part of the 20th century excited a widespread interest in America's white musical tradition and “old time” music.First，in 1910，the musicologist John Lomax published Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads.Then in 1916 the English song collector Cecil Sharp put together a collection of folk music from the Appalachian mountains.
But it wasn't until 1922，when Texas fiddler(小提琴家) Eck Robertson cut the first record of “old time”music，that the popularity of what also became known as“hillbilly music”really began to grow，via pioneering artists，record labels and radio stations.The record that more generally gets cited as the first country release was made in June 1923 by Fiddlin' John Carson.

Music for Little Mozarts is a program designed to help your little ones develop a love of music.Learning music at an early age helps develop little minds and expand their cognitive(认知的)ability.While listening to music can certainly help your youngster pick up songs，actually learning to play the piano can help your child's education development.
This program focuses on little creatures that both entertain and teach.By grasping the attention of a young child's mind and engaging them with stories along with hands on experience，you can provide them with a positive experience that just may fuel a little Mozart in later years.
Within this multi book and multi year lesson plan there are ten little characters that help draw the child into the lesson plan.These little creatures actually can be used to help the child grasp basic concepts in music.The series starts out in the preschool years and provides day by day lessons that can aid the child or a classroom of children right through early adolescence(青春期)．
The series is designed for both classroom and preschool use and for those at home with homeschoolers.It contains a series of books along with audio CDs，flash cards，and other visual aids that can help very young children develop an ear and an eye for music.
It can be hard to hold the attention spans of children for very long.However，with the right creativity and the proper attention along with simple，easy to master daily lessons，most children will not only grasp music rather quickly，they will also develop a love of real music，not just banging on a piano keyboard and making sounds.
The short，daily lessons are planned out so that children learn to play music by ear.They learn to play real songs and master real passages quickly and easily.This element keeps them involved.They also master playing by ear and then later by reading rather quickly.

Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee，according to an Australian study.
The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not.Study author Brent Coker said，“Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee's attention.”
“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention，” Coker said on the university's website.“Having a short break，such as a quick surfing of the Internet，helps the mind to rest itself，leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day's work，and as a result，increases productivity(生产效率)，”he said.
According to the study of 300 workers,70 percent of the people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours.Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products，reading online news，playing online games and watching videos.“Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching video，using social networking sites or shopping online，” said Coker.“That's not always a good idea.”
However，Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation(适度)，or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office.“Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without，” he said.
28．What does the University of Melbourne study mainly show?
A．People who surf the Internet are good employees.
B．Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours.
C．Surfing the Internet for fun during office hours increases productivity.
D．The Internet is becoming more and more important in people's life.
29．According to Paragraph 3，Brent Coker would most probably agree that______.
A．the longer a person's mind rests the better attention he will have
B．surfing the Internet is the best way to increase productivity
C．workers should have a long break during office hours
D．workers should let their minds rest now and then
30．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities?
A．Watching videos. B．Reading online news.
C．Reading online novels. D．Playing online games.
31．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Spending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity.
B．Those who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity.
C．Most people don't surf the Internet in moderation during office hours.
D．People should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet.

In all the world's cultures，people sing，play instruments，and celebrate with music.It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study，including one looking at the biology of music.Experts find that because of the way our brains process music，learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.
Music education has received a lot of attention.Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math，science，and language skills.One study in Canada tracked children's IQ scores for nine months，discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements.The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes use several areas of the brain，increasing our ability to learn school subjects.For example，reading notes improves spatial(空间的) reasoning skills，which are helpful in solving math problems like fractions(分数)．
Music is also used for medical purposes，such as the treatment of diseases which affect memories.The secret lies in the way the brain processes music.One area near the forehead，the medial prefrontal cortex，connects music with memories stored in two other areas：the amygdale and hippocampus.That's why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago.For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's，listening to music can help unlock buried memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.
With the evidence of music's benefits，it's no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education systems.People are recognizing that more than just a form of entertainment，music is also great for the brain.
32．Scientists are studying music because ______.
A．music can be used for medical treatments
B．music plays a very important role in our lives
C．our brains can process music in different ways
D．music education has received a lot of attention
33．According to the Canadian study，which children increased IQ scores?
A．Those who already had high IQ scores.
B．Those who always played music.
C．Those who could not play any instrument.
D．Those who studied music for a period of time.
34．Which of the following is a kind of disease?
A．Spatial reasoning. B．Alzheimer's.
C．The amygdale and hippocampus.
D．The medial prefrontal cortex.
35．Which can be the best title for the text?
A．Music and health B．Music and mind
C．Music and education D．Music and instruments
