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.
It was Monday. Mrs. Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.
Considering that there was no better way. Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it:“Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently:“Take this to the butcher(* person whose job is selling meat)and he's going to give you your lunch today.”
Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.
At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.
The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers(*people who buy sth. from a shop).
But, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper.

Some time ago, a friend of mine who worked in a part of the city I didn't know very well invited me to call on him. It took me hours to get there and I took great trouble to find a proper spot to park my car. As I was already three quarters of an hour late, I parked my car quickly.
At noon, just as I was leaving my friend's office it suddenly struck me that I had no idea where I had parked my car. I could hardly go up to a policeman and tell him that I had lost a small green car somewhere! Walking down street after street, I examined each car closely and was very happy to see a small green car just behind an old car. But how disappointed I was to discover that though the car was exactly like my own, it belonged to someone else! Feeling quite tired now, I went off for lunch. Some time later, I left the restaurant and walked down the street. Turning the corner, I nearly jumped for joy: my car was right in front of me, and there was no problem this time.
To tell the truth, driving in a crowded city is far from being a pleasure and it is much easier to walk than to drive.
