Explosive sound and energy
ROCK music didn’t exist 60 years ago． 1 Someone didn’t just wake up and invent rock．So, how did it happen? What is rock?Although impossible to strictly define, it’s generally recognized that rock music was born in 1950s America． 2 At this time, early “rockers”were mixing the country music of white America with the rhythm and blues sound loved by the black US citizens．The result was rock‘n’ roll．The record most commonly considered as the beginning of the rock ‘n’ roll period is Bill Haley & The Comets’1954 recording of “Rock Around the Clock”． 3 Elvis’s 1950s recordings established the basic language of rock ‘n’ roll; his explosive stage presence set standards for the music’s visual image, while his voice was powerful and interesting．
4 Despite the different directions and sound of rock bands over the last 50 years, there is something common to all the greats：a charming lead vocalist, a talented guitarist full of energy and creativity, a bassist with cool indifference and a drummer．
For most of its life, rock has been split into different parts, creating new styles every few years－giving birth to a never-ending number of sub-genres． 5 Rock is a generic term, but it’s exciting that it can now mean so many different things．
A．Rock is my favorite and I’ll be a popular singer．
B．Now, it’s one of the world’s most popular genres．But musical styles don’t spring up overnight．
C．Rock had a specific sound and image for only a few of its early years．As time went by, the genre began to place equal emphasis on skills and pushing the boundaries of the music．
D．In fact, in the West, musically speaking, the years 1953～1955 are known as the rock ‘n’ roll years．
E．As a result, “rock”has been used to describe everything from bands playing catchy rhythms to groups based on tuneless, noisy guitars．
F．Rock music will be held in our school if we send an invitation to the band．
G．But it was Elvis Presley, known as “The King of Rock and Roll”, who really popularized the new sound throughout America and the Western world．

How can we all get more laughter into our lives?Here is what the experts suggest：
1 ．Nancy Alguire, a teacher in Clifton Park, N．Y．, was once painfully shy and had a hard time laughing．Then she married a circus clown(小丑)．“I became interested in the clowns,”she recalls“One day I put on a costume and paint my face．That afternoon my whole life changed．I learned to laugh and enjoy life in a way I had never done before．” 2 To this day, she still makes it a rule to be with people who enjoy life and laughing．
3 It doesn't take you too much time and can be easy．Collect favourite cartoons and jokes．Also, keep a paper for writing down humour you find in everyday life．“Good ideas come and go fast, you have to capture them quickly or they are gone,”says Virginia Tooper．
Laugh when you need it most．“ 4 ”says comedian Bill Cosby．“And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it,”he insists．
Gray Alan, a sociology professor at the University of Minnesota, claims that laughter is a skill we can all gain－because it comes naturally． 5 ．Just remember：we are just here for a period, so get a few laughs．
A．You can soften the worst blows through humour．
B．Mix with people who laugh．
C．Practise the art of laughing．
D．Keep a laughter file(文档)．
E．He who laughs last laughs best．
F．But it's also something that has to be developed(培养)．
G．People's joy can affect those around them．
Tuvalu, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea.
Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu's nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level. Salt water is already entering the country's drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. __1__
__2__ Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20—50 cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark's Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, Tuvalu's rising sea level is caused by global warming.
The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degrees over the past century, scientists expect it to rise by extra 1—3 degrees over the next 100 years.
Warmer weather makes glaciers(冰川)melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10－25 cm in the last 100 years.
__3__ Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.
Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. __4__
__5__ the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with “climate refugees” looking for somewhere to live.
A. The main cause of global warming is human pollution.
B. Should this come true，
C. Without urgent help, the country's days are numbered.
D. But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea.
E. The sea level could rise by one meter this century.
F. People face a lot of pollution.
G. Much has been done about our planet.

5. ________
