         Pop music is the name for different forms of popular, commercial(商业) music. It had its beginning in
    the USA and spread throughout the whole world during the 1950s and 1960s. It is widely liked by the young people. The best known early form of pop music was "rock' n' roll"; another was "blues". A more
    recent development is "folk-rock". Pop music has taken the place of native music in many parts of the
    world; it has caused the number of people for jazz to become much smaller than it was in the 1950s and
    earlier, and it has now begun to rule musical stage productions. It's a big industry. Much pop music is
    without artistic value, but the work of some pop singers, e.g. the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the groups like
    Floyd and Crosby, Stills and Nash, is on a higher musical level. And there is still a great interest in it today. Pop music concerts and festivals are held all over the world.

    A

    Molly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail round the world to raise money for charity.

    As a child she had trained as a ballet dancer, but at l5 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member of a pop dance team.

    She got married, and after she had children she retired from show business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home.

    She says, “When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was bored because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey. ”

    Before Molly left she did a lot of training, but it hadn’t prepared her for the worst weather which they experienced. By the end of October last year, she had raised more than $50,000 for charity.

    She says, “Sometimes I ask myself, what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it’s the same as being a dancer. Before I left on trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member.”
