Two Chinese farmers who became an overnight sensation(轰动)when their heart-rending version of a famous pop song appeared on the Internet took to the stage in front of thousands of fans in Shanghai last Saturday.
Wang Xu, 44，and Liu Gang, 29, sang “In the Spring" alongside the song's star composer Wang Feng, in front of about 80,000 people at the Shanghai Stadium.
The audience buzzed with excitement and let out deafening cheers, the moment as they were introduced on the stage and then when Liu started the first sentence of their parts of the song.
The two migrant workers became stars after singing the tearjerker(催人泪下的）song during an evening drinking session in a 6-square-meter rented room in a late August evening. A friend recorded the performance on a cell phone and posted it on the Internet.
“If someday I am dead, please bury me in the spring," they sing. Wang's penetrating chorus, delivered with his eyes closed, has moved thousands to tears.
Wang and Liu consider the song a true portrait of lower-class groups like themselves. "With no credit card, no girlfriend, or a home with hot water, but only a guitar, I am singing happily, on streets, under bridges or in wild country, though nobody pays attention to the music," they sing.
To support his wife and two sons, Wang came to Beijing in 2000 from the countryside and has worked as a boiler man, and street peddler, before becoming a medical warehouse keeper, with a monthly pay of around 1,500 yuan. Little is left after he pays 600 yuan for rent and buys food.
Liu came to Beijing in 2002. “I wanted to try my luck in the big city，，，he said. He had worked as a guard, roadside peddler, and porter, but never had a stable job. Street performing was his main income, even after he married and became a father three years ago.
Wang and Liu are still uncertain where their fame will lead. Wang has started learning to use a computer. They even have a microblog(微博）account to communicate with fans.
Wang Xu and Liu Gang first became nationally known after______.
A. they sang the song “In the Spring" with a star composer Wang Feng
B. the video of them singing “In the Spring" was posted on the Internet
C. they sang on streets and under bridges
D. they started their microblog
People like Wang and Liu's version of “In the Spring" because ______ .
A. they sang the song better than other singers
B. they were introduced to the public by the song writer himself
C. it was specially composed for them two
D. it is a heartfelt expression of the two singers as migrant workers
It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. migrant workers' conditions will be improved soon
B. they will learn to write songs on computers
C. a song showing people's real life and feelings is more likely to be accepted
D. singers for migrant workers are more likely to become popular
The best possible title for the passage is______.
A. Internet Farmer Stars Make Stage Appearance
B. “In the Spring"—A Touching Song
C. A Successful Internet Performance
D. No Pains, No Gains

"Gangnam Style" by singer Psy from Korea, is a popular song, but its extraordinary global success is really the result of its music video, which is a great piece of genius. On September 22nd, Guinness World Records listed "Gangnam Style" as the most-liked video in the history of YouTube. It's been performed at West Point (West-Point Style), and Google's CEO, has done the "Gangnam Style" horse dance at the company's office in Seoul. Even Samsung is trying to make Psy the new model for the latest type of fridge.
The song's global popularity is such that the vast majority of people who enjoy it don't speak Korean, and have no idea what it is about. That's fine --- part of what makes "Gangnam Style" so fun is, like international pop music, the difficulty in understanding it. When we sing along, "Hey, sexy lady", we don't really know what we're singing about.
The joy of incomprehensibleness is familiar to anyone who loves pop music from elsewhere. Anthony Lane, in his 2010 review of the Eurovision Song Contest, Only Mr. God Knows Why, used "Eurovision English" as one of its chief pleasures. It's "a complex tongue, spoken nowhere else, which raises the heartfelt poetry (???) but absolute nonsense to a level of what sci-fi writers could only have dreamed. " In similar ways, "Gangnam Style" is just an over-the-top video where a fat man does a funny dance and sings repetitive words that don't make sense to most of us.
But on the other, the magic of the song also lies in its funny dance, which reflects not just cultural morals specific to Korea, but cultural values easily recognizable to western viewers. This song's words may be in Korean, but its scenes are in clear American. The dance moves are simple enough to copy.
Nonsense, in other words, forces us to let down our guards. It makes us relax, and asks us to let in all sorts of feelings from which, otherwise, we might distance ourselves. "Gangnam Style" happens to be so interesting because of its incomprehensibleness.
1.Some complex languages are used in pop music because _______.
A. singers regard it as one of the chief pleasures at the concert
B. they make the music hard to understand but poetic and attractive
C. the music can sound more pleasant and beautiful to the audience
D. people like listening to the music which makes special sense to them
2.What is true about the popularity of "Gangnam Style"?
A. It was considered as the most popular video on the Internet.
B. It makes people amused and removes their emotional guards.
C. Its dance only reflects cultural and morals specific to Korea.
D. Psy, its singer, has been the new model for Samsung .
3.What does the underlined word "incomprehensibleness" mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Being interesting to listen to. B. Being simple enough to copy.
C. Being complex and repetitive. D. Being difficult to understand.
4.The text is mainly about ________.
A. how "Gangnam Style" becomes popular among the youths
B. why "Gangnam Style" is popular even if few people understand it
C. how Psy gains worldwide success through his talent and hard work
D. what emotions and cultural morals Psy wants to convey with his song
