七、阅读填空（5’）
Language is part f ur daily lives, n matter where we live in the wrld. It is the same with music, whether it is played n the radi yu drive t wrk r played in a cncert. Bth language and music play an imprtant part in ur culture and here are sme f their similarities.
Bth language and music have a writing system.
In English we recrd language using the alphabet, which is a cllectin f letters. Similarly, we use ntes t keep a recrd f music. Just as yu're reading this cllectin f letters n the screen and find meaning in it, musicians read ntes and create meaning in the frm f music which we can hear. S just as yu read English, yu can read music. By writing pieces f text r music, we are able t share experiences thrugh time. I can read the ideas r hear the cmpsitin f smene wh lived hundreds f years ag, which is really exciting.
Bth vary(不同）with culture.
Yu can make a gd guess at where smene is frm by listening t the language they use. In the same way, we knw that styles f music are different arund the wrld, giving us the chance t explre many different cultures thrugh their music and ffering us music fr every situatin. This als mean that there is smething fr everyne! Even if yu dn't like Britpp meldies, yu may lve the energy f Latin American salsa music.
Bth share feelings.
Hw d yu knw that I am angry? Of curse yu may be able t see it in my face, but yu will knw fr sure thrugh my wrds. Similarly, music can sund angry, sad r happy. Music can shw yu exactly hw the cmpser was r is feeling, and allws us t share feeling. When yu feel happy.yu might want t sing and dance t a happy sng t celebrate yur happiness. In cntrast(相反）, yu have prbably als listened t sad music when yu were feeling dwn. I think we have all used music t express ur feelings, ften mixing it with language in the frm f sng lyrics.
